The animais involved may have been totems of the shaman's community, or may have been closely associated with the shaman himself.

Smoking various plants, perhaps even tobacco, was probably an integral art of the shaman's ceremonies. Archaeologists have found the pipes associated with every Ohio prehistoric culture except the earliest the Palaeo-Indians. Perhaps the most spectacular pipes are the finely-carved animal effigy pipes typical of the Hopewell people. Since most of these objects have been found in association with charnel houses at major ceremonial centers, the pipes may have been used by shamans during funeral rites or may have represented totem animals. Probably the most famous single prehistoric Indian object from Ohio the Adena Pipe.

Not only is this pipe an excellent example of the artistic abilities of the Adena, but it portrays an Adena shaman complete with his special breechcloth, ear spools and headdress. The torso and head of normal proportions and the short arms and legs indicate that the portrait is of an achondroplastic dwarf. These abnormalities illustrate the faet that some shamans were not always normal physically or emotionally; these deviations were often attributed by others in the shaman's community to be a sign of his contact with the spirit world. Hopewell shamans were probably the most impressive members of their society, particularly when they presided over the funeral rituals associated with the Cult of the Dead. By The Ohio Historical Society The medicine man or shaman was an important member of all of the prehistoric Indian cultures that inhabited Ohio from about 9000 B.C.

to A.D. 1600. Archaeologists have found physical evidence indicating th universal presence of shamans. But the records of historic Indians provide the only insights for an explanation of the duties of functionaries. A shaman was regarded as having special supernatural powers gained through dreams and visions.

He, or she, used these powers to cure disease, to discover the identity of persons who had broken taboos, to attract game animals so that hunters would be successful, to predict future events, and, in general, to maintain liaison between their own societies and the spirit world. Although some of the shaman's rituals might seem to us of today to be no more than sleight-of-hand or their psychological effect on the members of his community was often quite apparent. In addition, the shaman frequently had extensive empirical knowledge of local plants and herbs that had definite medicinal qualities. In fact, many drugs used today in modern medicine are derivatives of compounds employed by a shaman as part of his curing rites. On occasion, prehistoric shamans impersonated various types of animals, such as wolves, bears and cougars, by wearing a mask made from parts of the animal's skull.

Such masks have been discovered by archaeologists with a burial in' Ohio dating from the Glacial Kame culture (2500 B.C.-1000 B.C.) in both Ohio and Kentucky.

Any good garden fertilizer you have on hand will work very well; however, garden centers do sell special fertilizer formulations for roses, if you prefer these.

Depending on the size of the rose bush, sprinkle a handful or two of fertilizer around each one the first of each month, or about the same time each month. By DENNIS WEILNAU Agricultural Extension Agent With cold weather behind us, garden roses should start to show some progress. Unfortunately, besides late freezes and killing frosts, there are other enemies of the rose garden. These include, to name a few, powdery mildew, black spot, stem canker, crown gall and others, says Charles Powell, Extension plant pathologist at The Ohio State University. Also, aphids, Japanese beetles and other insects damage your roses, according to Richard L.
