Some masks are sacred objects linked to secret societies and rites of passage like initiation, funerals, and ceremonies to ensure societal balance, protection, or prosperity. Dragon Flies - In many Southwest Native American cultures, especially those of the Pueblo and Navajo peoples, dragonflies are sacred symbols of water, healing, and transformation. Given the dry, arid climate of the Southwest, the dragonfly's connection to water makes it a powerful and vital symbol. Ladders - Ladders connect different worlds. Most notably, they are associated with the ceremonial chambers and symbolize the connection between the earthly and ancestral realms. In a broader cosmological sense, the ladder can act as a central axis for the universe, holding different realms together. It is a point where space and time converge and is a vital link uniting not only rooms but also beliefs, ancestors, and multiple worlds.
