There are many stories about the origin of the weeping or bleeding heart. Some say that there was a great warrior born in the Oconaluftee village deep in the Smokey Mountains. His mother, knowing of his future greatness, took the iron heart form her father’s axe and placed it over her own son’s heart. The child grew into a fierce warrior, and no matter what struck him in his heart he was protected by the iron. Some say that the heart was the heart and soul of the axe. It was removed by a shaman during a ritual before a great battle. The axe was then given to a great warrior. The axe, missing his own heart, would then take the heart of any enemy it was thrown toward.
