Is writing about skin-walkers condemned because describing them gives them power/makes them more likely to exist or show up? Or like not naming school shooters or publishing their manifestos in case it inspires copycats? (If this is one of the taboo things it's cool if you don't answer.)

[(Anonymous)]

It is for the same reason Muslims don't like paintings of Mohammed.

AYRT--huh, I always understood the Muslim ban on figural religious art as a veneration thing; that images of him were disrespectful because only Allah could make the form of living things, and doing otherwise risked idolatry.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, exactly. AYRT has it wrong, basically.

I admit that I'm not Native, but... I don't think this is a good analogy.

This is coming from an Anglo (or bilagáana), who spent 11 years on the Navajo reservation growing up, so take that as you will. Some things are taboo because they are revered, and some are taboo because they are not right. Skin-walkers have some connection to spirituality, but it's... twisted. And yes, there is at least some wariness that speaking of them will summon them.
