Solstice Song! Colors of the winter sing within our hearts sagonige of the North,Cold Bringers own shawl,the face of Father Sky. Gigage the power color the cloth of the medicine bundle,within is tobacco to offer the ancients of the People for guidence. Unegv of clouds and snow remind us of our time of rest,dreaming within,the connection of family and friends. Dalonige our Grandmother Sun the warmth of life,our connection to Mother Earth,in this time of cold forgetfulness. We pray through the night singing with all our spirit,reminding Grandmother Sun her children still need her. The drums will speak and lead the dance around the sacred fire,stories told of long ago and the year that she forgot us. Now children of the People,it seems your hearts have strayed,you have forgotten the importance of the Winter Solstice. Reach out to each other and give back this sacred time,remind those who have forgotten this is our heritage. Ring the bells,play the flutes,beat the drums harder,pray with all your hearts the darkness does not surround us. Clean the Circle,smudge it and each other,approach with loving humble hearts your Creator,speak of the needs in your lives and for the coming year. Make a noise most joyful,show respect and honor,give gifts to your Elders and thank them for their guidence. Teach the children of the ancients and tell them the stories,watch with them the new sunrise and lift your voices in thankful prayer! as told by my grandmother! granny

Supremely beautiful, powerful, and 'important' write!.... may be my favorite (to date) from this fine author! As I read this, I was 'transported' back to 'Stonehenge' (the circle) and other 'sacred sites' of my Celtic ancestors who shared many similar beliefs and grand suffering [at the hands of the Romans, Saxons and other merciless and tyrannical invaders] as the 'Native' (true) American peoples. The Children ARE our 'new sunrise'! infinite applause! |
