Chant that Wakes the Forest

The myth

For many Indigenous peoples, singing is a way of communicating with the divinities, spirits and beings of the forest. Among the Guarani Mbya, for example, songs and dances take place in the opy, the prayer house, led by prayer leaders and accompanied by the mbaraka rattle. For them, daily life is woven through with their relationship with the gods. These songs are sacred, belong to each people and are not a show. The game's spell does not reproduce any real song: it draws on the idea that the forest listens, and that whoever sings rightly receives an answer.

Why it has this power

A common boost spell: all your Spirits on the field gain 500 ATK and 500 DEF while they remain there. It is like a song that wakes the forest's enchanted beings. It works very well with the Curupira, Caipora, Saci, Iara and Anhangá, and with the Deep Forest Under Jaci's Moon field.

Did you know

Among the Mbya, the senior spiritual leaders are called tamõi, grandfather.
