Gutjion

spirit · Namibia · Southern Africa

Not independently attested in folklore literature. No Nama or Khoekhoe source documents a spirit called 'Gutjion'; the entry's wilderness-guardian details and Richtersveld specifics are invented. Genuine Nama tradition centers on figures such as the trickster-culture hero Heitsi-Eibib, but no 'Gutjion' appears in the recorded lore.
