Blessingway

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Blessingway

Central Navajo ritual. One of a complex system of ceremonies known as sings, or chants, that are performed to restore equilibrium to the cosmos. Blessingways are one of six categories of ceremonies; the others are the Holyways, Lifeways, Evilways, War Ceremonials, and Gameways. Lasting for two nights, the Blessingway is generally performed as one part of a larger ritual event rather than as a stand-alone ceremony.

I decided there was no time for a shower, but brushed my hair and put it in a ponytail and after two more contractions, asked Mark to run and get my birth shirt and my birth bracelet (from my Blessingway ceremony).
