Earth’s Wrath – Creator’s Breath

Earth’s Wrath – Creator’s Breath

The earth groans beneath the weight of forgotten prayers. Her belly shakes, her breath becomes wind and flame. The rivers no longer sing, but roar with anger, flooding the lowlands and drowning the careless paths of men. Smoke rises like the mourning songs of widows; the trees cry out as their limbs are devoured by fire. The bones of the ancestors stir in their resting places, whispering that the balance has been broken. The sacred hoop trembles, cracked by greed…

Effects of Mental Stress in the Way of the People

Effects of Mental Stress in the Way of the People

Our thoughts are like the winds; they shape our path and bring us closer to harmony or lead us astray. When our minds are calm and strong, we walk in balance with the Great Spirit, and our hearts find peace. But when our minds are troubled, like stormy waters, it shows in our bodies and our days. The mind has two sides, like the sun and the shadow. The mind of man, untaught, is like the shadow—uncertain, wandering. But the…

Seek to Find the Good

Seek to Find the Good

“Only see the virtues and wisdom in your neighbor; you should not seek out his faults.” – Eskra 44:16 To find the good in our neighbor, we have to start by focusing on their strengths and the ways they bring light into the world. We have to keep in mind that everyone has some kind of gift or talent, even if they shine in ways we wouldn’t expect. Look for acts of kindness they offer, no matter how small. Speak…

Seeing the Creator in All Things

Seeing the Creator in All Things

“After Creator Jehovih shaped man from the breath of the sacred winds, He spoke, saying: ‘So you will know you are the work of My hands, I have placed within you the gift of understanding, the strength to create, and the wisdom to walk with honor upon the Earth.’” (Oahspe 1:1) The ancestors have taught us that Creator’s hand touches everything.

The Oahspe Shines On

The Oahspe Shines On

Last year I had the opportunity to travel throughout various reservations in the United States, visiting households of relatives, friends and strangers to share, in a non-intrusive way, the sacred text of the Oahspe. One special lady I met in California was Enola. She expressed how she had lived a very difficult life and that she had been searching for a way to be closer to Creator. I share her story below. Enola is a quiet soul, one who walks…

The Tale of Coyote and the River People

The Tale of Coyote and the River People

In a time when the stars were still finding their place in the sky, the River People lived peacefully along the winding waters. They fished, grew corn, and sang songs to honor Creator. Their hearts were strong, their spirits steady, for they lived in harmony with all things. But one day, Coyote came to their village. He wasn’t like other animals. His eyes were sly, his words smooth as running water, and he carried trouble like a shadow. “River People,”…

The Bird and the Hare

The Bird and the Hare

A story based on Book of Inspiration, chapter 12. Many ages ago, when the earth was new and the stars still whispered their wisdom to the rivers, the Great Spirit walked among the creatures. In those days, all life moved in harmony, each creature carrying the wisdom of its purpose within its heart. One day, a young bird perched on the branch of a cedar tree. Her feathers were soft and new, and her heart was full of questions. She…

Notes on Inspiration 12

The Path to Great Harmony In the time before the winds carried man’s understanding, the Great Spirit created all creatures, each perfect in their way. The bird was given feathers to soar and knew, without teaching, how to weave her nest. The hare was swift and clever, needing no counsel to flee the fox. All moved in harmony with the will of the Creator, their purpose clear and their work complete. But man, the last to be shaped, was left…

Book of Inspiration, chapter 12 (adapted)

1 Of all the living creatures made by the Great Spirit, only man was left unfinished, says Jehovih. 2 The weakest of all animals, without knowing or power, is man. 3 The bird does not need to better her feathers or learn from a book how to build her nest or treat her kin. 4 The hare is not told, “Fear the fox,” nor does she teach her young to run fast. 5 Yet, bird and beast move as Creator…

A Story of Seeking Creator’s Wisdom

A Story of Seeking Creator’s Wisdom

Long ago, when the world was still young, there was a village located near the great river that flowed through the heart of the land. The village was peaceful, and its people lived in harmony with the earth, the sky, and the waters. They respected Creator, whom they called Jehovih the Great Spirit, and believed that He spoke to each person in their own way. Among the villagers was a young woman named Kachina, whose heart was full of questions….
