Orenda

Orenda /ˈoʊrɛndə/ is an Iroquois name for a spiritual power inherent in people and their environment., Activities of nature were seen to be a "ceaseless struggle of one orenda against another, uttered and directed by the beings or bodies" in the environment. Orenda was deemed a motive force behind miracles, soothsaying, divination, prophecy, blessing, cursing, prayer, worship, and superstitions. Orenda is not a collective power and does not have a personification. 19th and 20th century scholars compared the concept of orenda to that of mana.

Anthropologist J. N. B. Hewitt notes intrinsic similarities between the Iroquoian concept of Orenda and that of the Siouxan wakd or mahopa; the Algonquin manitowi, and the pokunt of the Shoshone. Across the Iroquois tribes, the concept was referred to variously as orenna or karenna by the Mohawk, Cayuga, and Oneida; urente by the Tuscarora, and iarenda or orenda by the Huron. A related term, otgon, denoted a specifically "malign, deadly, lethal, or destructive use" of orenda. Hewitt notes that orenda was regarded by Iroquoian peoples as distinct from concepts of life, soul, ghost, and mind.

UNDERTOW

(Lyrics : Jani Lane / Music : Jani Lane and Rick Steier)
You speak from both sides of your mouth
I tried to work it out
You hated me all along
I tried to get along
You talk to much for me
It¹s verbal therapy
I don¹t need words to fight with you
Just my left and civil right with you
Bridge
Make up your mind
Stop wasting my time
Chorus
Then the storm broke
And the rain fell
Then the flood came
Made the river swell
Then the dam broke
I just let it go
I was pulled down
