And all of them were prototypes of women of wild tribes or peoples. The women of the Lakota peoples. That's where the legend of the Dreamcatcher amulet came from.

According to one of the ancient legends, an elder of the Lakota Indian people climbed a mountain, and there she had a vision in which an ancient teacher of wisdom appeared to her in the guise of a spider. While they were talking, the spider bent the branch of an old willow tree into a ring and, adorning it with a bird feather, began to weave a web inside the ring.

Then he said: “There are many roads along which man moves - each one chooses his own path.
And at every moment of life man is ruled by his passions.
If they are good, they guide him on the right path, and if they are evil, man goes on the wrong path.”
The web is a perfect circle, but in the very center there is an opening.
Good thoughts will pass through the center to the person. Evil thoughts will get entangled in the web and disappear with the dawn.”
