The

Gathering

The Gathering Begins

And So It Begins.... We are entering the "The Year of Twilight"

Just Look around ;)

Open your Heart eyes mind and just watch
people interactions - gov interactions - earth/people interactions

Watch and listen to what is not being said
listen to what should not BE said (and never was before)

We are the Watchers the time of the Prophets and Teachers is over...

The new Age is beginning, the watchers are the last of the old age
and some are the first of the new age....

This is the Year of "TWILIGHT"
It is Always Darkest before the Dawn.
We are entering into the House of the WaterBearer.
The Old must past before the New can grow.
There is nothing more to say.

Words of Awareness, Words of Freedom

Seeing

While I Stood There, I saw more
than I can tell, and I understood
more than I saw; for I was
seeing in a sacred manner the
shapes of all things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as
they must live together like
one being.

"Black Elk - Oglala Sioux"

Transformation

Spirits come to man in dreams
and in waking visions. When
the spirit comes to man in a
dream, it may be thus: a song is
heard on the air, then a form
appears. This form is of a man,
often dressed or painted in some
particular or strange way. It is
a spirit, who gives to the man a
message, a teaching, or a song.
When he turns to go, he takes,
in disappearing, whatsoever
form may be his own, -- if he be
animal, he willo take the form of
bear, buffalo, or bird -- whatever
his nature.

AS told by,
Huhusecs-ska (White Bone),
Zintkala Maza (Iron Bird),
Mato-Nazin (Standing Bear)
of the Dakota.

The Coyote

The howling coyote took up
common dirt and scattered it
toward the sky. He caused the
dirt to become stars and the
rainbow.

Song in the Yuma Deer Dance
(Densmore 1932, p.145)

Dreams

"One Day I will Dream Myself into the Real World"

Crazy Horse Sioux Chief

Going Home

I am now going home, I step
upon another world, I turn and
extend my arms for a friend to
lead me, I pray all may go
where I go . Now the earth is
smoky and none can see the
other world "as I do".

Iroquois Song
(Parker 1968)

Toltec The Maya

Then he decended
while the heavens rubbed
against the earth.

They moved amoung the four
lights,
amoung the four layers of stars.

The world was not lighted;
there was neither day nor night
nor moon.

Then they percieved that the
world was being created.

Then creation dawned upon the
world.

Translated from the MAYA
(Bierhorst 1971, p.3)

Song of the Deer Ceremony

When the rising sun looks,
Walk out, they tell me.
When I went there, she who
walks on the water was wild,
Her walk was wild, her eye was wild,
I came as she brought me some.

With a bone Medicine belt not
wild, I came to her.
With the winds footprints not wild,
I came near her.
With a yellow spotted belt not wild,
I came near her.
With a bone medicine shirt no
wild, I came near her.

San Carlos Apache tribe.
(Day 1951)

Seeing Reprise

Let us see, is this real,
let us see, is this real,
This life I am Living?
You, Gods, who dwell
everywhere,
Let us see, is this real,
This life I am Living?

Pawnee
(Turner 1973)

Bear

I am Like a Bear
I hold my hands waiting for the
sun to rise.

Pawnee Music
(Boulet 1989)

Magic Words

In the very earliest times,
when both people and animals
lived on earth,
a person could become an
animal if he wanted to
and an animal could become a
human being.

Sometimes they were people
and sometimes animals
and there was no difference.

All spoke the same language.

That was the time when words
were like magic.

"Magic Words"
Nalunglaq, Netsilik Eskimo

from Knud Rasmussen
"The Netsilik Eskimos"
(Rothenberg, 1972)

Power of the World

Everything the Power of the World does
is done in a circle. The sky is round,
and i have heard that the earth is round
like a ball, and so are all the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs
is the same religion as ours.

--Oglala Sioux holy man Black Elk
(Neihardt 1961)

Grandfather

Grandfather,
a voice I am going to send,
Hear me.
All over the Universe,
a voice I am going to send.
Hear me,
Grandfather,
I will live.
I have said it.

---Opening prayer of the Sun Dance
(Densmore 1918, p.131)

A Wolf I Considered Myself

A Wolf
I considered myself
but
I have eaten nothing
therefore
from standing
I am tired out.

A wolf
I considered myself
but
the Owls
are hooting
and
the night I fear.

as sung by Gray Hawk
(Densmore 1918, p.339)

It is the Time of
The "Awakening" and The "Gathering"
