Tracey Harrington Simpson (taiche) The prophetic bird Gamaun, the messenger of Gods, their herald, arrives to the people at dawn from the East along with stormy winds and furious hurricane. When Gamaun flies, from the sunrise the killing storm comes. She comes flying and tells about coming days, but it is hard to hear distinctly her voice, to recognise it among the noise of the wind, rustle of leaves, scratch and groan of the wood trees at the hour of the approaching storm. She sings the sacred hymns and forebodes the future for those who can hear the secrets.
