The Hopi believe in a number of Kachina or spirits. They fall into a few categories. The Guards or warriors who enforce communal cleaning of springs or actas guards to prevent interruptions during ceremonies. They may carry yucca whips or bows. The Runners who are racing kachinas who run and race with the men of the pueblos during ceremonies. Those who lose the race are whipped with yucca leaves, are forced to eat chile or have mud thrown at them by the Runners, while those who beat them are given piki bread. Female kachinas are the wives, mothers and sisters of the other kachina spirits, but they are often still portrayed by men. The exception is Pachavuin Mana. Each usually accompanies another kachina. Animal kachinas who act as advisors, doctors and teachers. They have taught the use and administration of herbs in healing and taught the warriors about avoiding danger. Ogres are disciplinary kachinas. Their purpose is to frighten children into good behavior. During ceremonies, they demand food and visit each home in the pueblo or village. Each ogre has his or her own personality and role within a ceremony. Lastly, Other kachina groups can include plants, whippers, hunters and kachinas borrowed from other pueblos.
