MEDITATION:

Sing to me, oh Ancient Ones,

Of the history of our race.

That I may see in my mind,

The love in every face.

And every spirit that came before.

The Medicine that they made,

The Sacred Tradition they passed to me

So the memory will not fade.

Oh Storyteller, be my bridge

To those other times.

So I may walk in Beauty with

The Ancient rhythm and rhyme.

When the people’s spirit was broken,

When the Buffalo no longer roamed,

When all our lands were taken and

Of the universe within

Showed us new abilities

And gave us hope again.

RITES OF PASSAGE

CARD NAME: RITES OF PASSAGE

REPRESENTS: CHANGE

APPLICATION:

A Rite of Passage marks a time of some momentous change in life. If you have drawn this card, you are being asked to make a note of the growth and change that is occurring because it will shape your future. The changes may be small or gradual, but you are changing. The changes may be drastic and earth shaking. Leaving a sense of confusion, but each one is benefiting your growth in some manner.

The Rite of Passage card can also speak of a need for a change if you have lost the magic and spontaneity in life. Only you can make the decision to change the doldrums to excitement. If this decision is made, be ready to fly with Eagle and experience the new freedoms those changes bring.

In all cases, change is the key. Remember, if the moment you are experiencing is not beautiful, recreate it and you will have initiated your own Rite of Passage

MEDITATION:

The changes of many winters

Mark the cycles of the Wheel,

The lines across my ancient face

Show all that I can feel,

The nature of my passage

Remains a mystery,

For in my heart of hearts,

I hold my destiny.

When I was but an infant

In the beginning of time,

I marveled at the wonder of

Discoveries I did find.

Now that I am ancient,

I Have learned once again,

That the weight of every winter,

Brings discovery like a friend.

GIVE-AWAY CEREMONY

CARD NAME: GIVE-AWAY CEREMONY

REPRESENTS:  RELEASE

APPLICATION:

 

The Give-Away card spells relief through release. Don’t get stuck holding on to anything that no longer serves you. Associates, ideas, habits, and belongings may need to go at this time. Attachment to attitudes like needing to be needed or liked may no longer serve either.

You are being asked to share what you can, give away some-thing that can help someone else, or just let go. Don’t hold on so tight. The natural flow of life is squelched when you insist on total control.

In all cases, the Give-Away card tells us to release any bond that makes us captives of our own creation. In so doing, we can spread our wings and fly. Remember that generosity is a talent and a virtue that comes from dropping the fear of scarcity and from trusting Great Mystery.

MEDITATION:

Aho Child of Earth!

Do you know the secret

Of the Give-Away?

The more you release,

The more you receive,

For that is nature’s way.

Aho Child of Earth

Do you believe

In reaping what you sow?

A drop of wisdom

Will bring the truth

And you will truly know..

The quality of the new cycle depends upon you, your actions, and attitudes towards growth.




MEDITATION:

Stoned that border Sacred Space,
The hoop of life made whole,
Eagle, Coyote, Bear come sing,
With great White Buffalo.

We praise Grandfather Sun,
Here we honor the wholeness of all,
Coming together as one.

If you have walked a crooked by falsely judging others, it is now time to come home to the loving heart and see the value in all paths and chosen lessons.

You may be coming home to the magic that you once believed in or to a new sense of well being, but in every case you are returning to a temporarily forgotten state of being. In every life there is a need to return to the simplicity of happiness. If you have forgotten how to find the simple truths that once supported your inner joy, it is time to return home.

MEDITATION:

Earth Mother welcomes her children home

When they have lost their way.

The trail was lonely and so long.

She whispers for them to stay,

Within the protection of the Shawl.

Where love abides again.

Their hearts may open to recall,

All relations as their friends.
