White Buffalo

Legend or prophecy, one cannot understand Beautiful woman, a warrior pure of heart A message to all who seek peace, love and harmony Seven sacred ceremonies Sweat Lodge, naming, healing, adoption, marriage Vision Quest for communicating with Him Sundance for the well being of people of all nations Harmony and Spirituality restored in the fourth age White, Yellow, Red and Black, mankind North, South, East and West, nature The re establishment of respect and honor Miracle Moon, a gift from the Great Spirit Her seventh blessing to all nations, Chief Hiawatha The time has come for all nations A connection to the Great Spirit Peace, love and harmony If only we believe. “I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at the center within you and I am at that place within me, we shall be one.” ---Chief Crazy Horse, Oglala Sioux

I so want everyone to experience the majesty and beauty of this and all the other cultures, to do that Vince you need to SHOW us a naming ceremony, or how a healing would look? or what a Shamanic marriage ceremony would be like give us more use the whole box of crayola crayons, color OUTSIDE the lines what matters is the we the reader and see and taste and hear and feel the beauty of the culture.

This is beautiful, Vince. I'm so much in awe that it makes thinking difficult:) Their lore and legends are much like prophecies. I went onto the web and found more about the 'White Buffalo", I can pass on this site? http://www.merceronline.com/Native/native05.htm Love your write, thanks so much for sharing! Best to you and yours, Mikki

I don't know much about the history of Crazy Horse but will have to read up on it. Sounds like a wise man with respect for the universe. God Bless Phyl

Vince, I think that Chief Crazy Horse was a man of great wisdom. His "oneness" idea is similar to the beliefs that I have about the Godhead...one in purpose...one light. And his respect for the universe and feelings of harmony remind me of the commandment that Heavenly Father gave when he blessed his living creations...replenish the earth. Thanks for sharing...I enjoyed my "mental stroll" this morning because of your shared words. Smile, Dane Ann

Great stuff here, Vince..The Indians were and still are the original and true Native Americans and had wisdom that we could surely use today...I think they would have handled things much better that we have so far...Tim

I love this. The Cherokee are wolf people. i find myself strongly connected to the spirit realms and nature through my Cherokee blood, my Nanie was 100% =] I always enjoy reading and hearing about native american things; from storys and myths to real tellings, the history, and that which is not always kept in the books ^^ Always, Rain Child

The legend of the White Buffalo has always intrigued me, Vince. And you wrote this so well, mixing Native American prophecy and culture in your work. I, too, would like to think that "Peace, love and harmony" can be found "If only we believe." But I'm still searching, looking for my own White Buffalo. Excellent write! Love, carolyn

We can all learn from Native Americans. They know what it means to be connected to the earth and to each other they're spiritual people. We live in a time when this recognition needs to be understood. I hope WB comes soon! Thanks for posting this! Love Light Patty
