The myth
Pajé is the name, from Tupi, given to the spiritual leaders and healers of many Indigenous peoples of Brazil. Sixteenth-century chroniclers already described Tupinambá pajés as counselors, healers and intermediaries with the spirits. Today, pajés of many peoples continue caring for the physical and spiritual health of their communities, with deep knowledge of plants, songs and prayers passed on through long years of learning. That knowledge belongs to each people and has its own rules. The card is a MYTHENOR creation honoring this role, without depicting the rites of any specific people.
Why it has this power
A level 3 common with ATK 1000 and DEF 1100: more care than strength. It is an earth-element Spellcaster, of roots and herbs. Wisp and Fox speak of lights in the night and of wisdom. It is part of two fusions: with the Uirapuru it creates the Enchanted Uirapuru; with any Spirit, the Pajé in Trance with the Enchanted.
Did you know
Many medicines used today come from plants whose uses were first known to Indigenous peoples.
