Imagine yourself standing on the high desert
surrounded by blood-red mesas and yellow-ocher castle like rock
formations. Far off in the distance is a purple haze of the sunset,
graced with bright pink clouds and the reflections of Grandfather Suns
radiant sunset form. Before you is the entrance to the sacred Kiva.
The opening is on the ground before you. The hole is Mother Earth
supports a ladder that leads you blow to the inner-space of prayer,
reflection, and ceremony. At the bottom is the earth floor with a
small ceremonial fire burning just east of the Kivas center. The
walls are laced with the fires reflections. The shadows appear like
phantom form of the ancient Kachinas dancing around the circular wall
of the Kiva. This is the place of inner reflection. This is the place
where the Sacred Hoop of all nations is made whole. As you near the
fire, you are shown the Medicine that allows you to know your place in
the Sacred Hoop. How you relate to each set of Great Mysterys
creatures and life-forms is revealed in a set of visions brought
before your eyes in gusts of smoke from the ceremonial fire. Imagine
again, that you sprinkle bits of dried Cedar over the fire and the
smoke from the Cedar brings each vision. The message you receive from
these visions are a gift that each set of your relations is giving. |
