On the morning of the twelfth day the people washed themselves well. The women dried themselves with yellow cornmeal; the men with white cornmeal. Soon after the ablutions were completed they heard the distant call of the approaching gods (the four Navaho gods: White Body, Blue Body, Yellow Body, and Black Body). It was shouted, as before, four times--nearer and louder at each repetition--and, after the fourth call, the gods appeared. Blue Body and Black Body each carried a sacred buckskin. White Body carried two ears of co
rn, one yellow, one white, each covered at the end completely with grains.
