EARTH MEDICINE WHEEL

The Allies of White BUffalo Calf Woman

EARTH MEDICINE WHEEL

Like all sentient beings, Mother Earth was created with a purpose to fulfill. Earth is designed to be the sacred altar of this solar system. She truly is the beautiful garden where plant & animal species always thrived in a harmonious web of life. Sun is also a sentient being with a devotion to nurturing life on Earth. Sun is like a great grandparent or a protective mother hen. Until relatively recently, the humans practiced a lifestyle that celebrated the exquisite Earth~Sun relationship. Moon is also a character in this dynamic. Earth is above any human agenda. If humans reach a point or if energies on the planetary surface reach a point where they are disturbing the Sun~Earth~Moon symbiosis and harming MotherEarth, then we have cataclysms. Earth today is precariously out of balance. White BUffalo Calf Woman returns, as she promised, to guide the people of wisdom through the Shift of the Ages. A long cycle is ending. Rampant abuse of the beautiful natural world will soon be ended.

Earth as the sacred altar is a medicine wheel with 4 cardinal directions. The North & South Poles at the tips of the vertical axis have always held the spinning planet in physical balance. However, today at the north, Polar Bears are drowning and deprived of their normal feeding cycle due to Global Warming. At the south pole, huge ice shelfs are breaking off into the ocean and sea levels rise to abolish islands off the coast of India. Magnetic fields at the poles are diminishing in strength. In the past, low magnetics set the stage for Mother Earth to stop spinning on the vertical axis, then rotate in the opposite direction. Earth has a horizontal axis and the cardinal east <> west directions are places where indigenous holy people always maintained practices to hold life in spiritual balance. These special geological areas have impressive mountains with underground caves that are laced with precious minerals. Tibet is opposite the Black Hills. In each of these areas, the indigenous peoples honoured the cycles of Earth in sacred ways and their EARTHEARTHEARTH connection was intact The Plains tribes of buffalo hunters living around the Black Hills knew the appropriate times for doing ceremony and offering prayers to their Great Spirit. With the pipe of peace, their focus was harmony among all the different nations. In the East, the Dalai Lama always led his people to meditate on the enlightenment of every sentient being who's now in a precious human incarnation. The Buddhist focus is on inner peace that derives from compassion and wisdom. The differences in these ancient traditions are designed to compliment one another and complete a whole. On special marker days of the year like the Solstice, when people congregated at these east and west sacred altars to drum and chant, the good vibrations resonated through the veins of precious minerals into the heart of Mother Earth. The 'music' was then felt by Sun and radiated out to all the sunstars in Sun's constellation or family of Suns. The world was a marvelous, harmonious place. Now is time to renew and enhance the 'medicine' of the east <> west sacred altars, in any way imaginable. His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, says he will live to be 100 and that he will celebrate that birthday in a free Tibet. In the west, the Lakotas hold onto the 1868 treaty which gives them title to the Black Hills and they contend that this sacred land is not for sale.

North & South Poles physically balance Earth

Sacred traditions in the East ~West cardinal directions are designed for Earth's spiritual alignment

In the cardinal direction of the west, the Black Hills are at the heart centre of Turtle Island. Tibet is larger than the Black Hills. The 'sacred altar' of the west is a north~south corridor of sacred sites that's the spine of the Turtle. At the place of the Turtle's head is Saskatchewan ~ place of magic & powerful 'medicine'. The Turtle's tail is situtated in the land of the Maya and Aztec. Along the Turtle's spine are many sacred sites. The land of the Hopi is one of these sites. The Hopi Prophecy is 3,500 years old. It says that the 4th World is ready to end & the 5th World begin ~ with an event described as the "Day of Purification". Around 500 years ago, when White BUffalo Calf Woman brought the sacred pipe, she described the symbolism of the buffalo etched into the stone of the bowl. "Each leg symbolizes one Great Age. At the end of each Age, the buffalo loses a leg. The first 3 Ages (Stone, Bow, Fire) are now complete & the buffalo is standing on one leg. This is the Fourth Age ~ called the Age of the Pipe. Every year this mythical buffalo loses one hair. When the buffalo is totally bald, it will fall over & a whole new cycle for Earth will begin. I will return to help you transition through the Shift of the Ages." Having explained this to the people, she left them the pipe for their prayers & began walking towards the horizon. She almost disappeared from sight. Suddenly, they saw a black buffalo calf in her place. It rolled in the dust & stood up as a red buffalo. That one rolled in the dust & became yellow. Finally, after the yellow buffalo rolled in the dust, the people saw a white buffalo calf standing in its place & looking back at them.

The EARTH MEDICINE WHEEL is a mandala

Tibetans and Lakotas both represent the cardinal directions by the colours of yellow, red, black and white, and these are the colours of the four original races of humans.

KALACHAKRA MANDALA ~ Tibet

For many generations, the Hopi and Tibetans each held profound prophecies that spoke of the other. In recent times, the prophecies were fulfilled. The 'medicine' of PROPHECY is now activating the east <> west sacred altars of the Earth Medicine Wheel. Someday, the traditional holy people will learn how they are an integral part of White Buffalo Calf Woman's farsighted prophecy and renewal of the Sacred Feminine on planet Earth.

Fulfilling the Prophecies

Dalai Lama meeting Hopi elders

HOPI PROPHECY

"The Red Hat People will come out of the East. They will be few in number but powerful in their influence. They will be teachers who will bring wisdom & knowledge to the people of this land."

TIBETAN PROPHECY

"A time will comewhen the Iron Bird flies & the Horses run on wheels, that the Tibetan people will be scattered to the four corners of the world. The instruction which accompanies this event is as follows: the leader must remove the Seed of the Dharma from its centerplace, & take it across the great waters, into the land of the Red Faced People."

ON Christmas morning, 1980, a group of Tibetan lamas were brought to meet Hopi elders. The two groups went into the kiva & prayed for several days. Soon thereafter, a representative of the Dalai Lama planted the seed of the dharma with the Hopis.

In Tibetan, the word for Moon is 'Dawa'. In Hopi, 'Dawa' means Sun.

The Hopi word for Sun is 'Nyma'. In Tibet, 'Nyma' translates to mean Moon.

Tibetan YAK

cousin of the Buffalo !

Some of the old people say that the Buffalo and the Yaks were originally brought to Mother Earth from the Pleiades star cluster. This makes sense. The Pleiadians are an older and more evolved 'civilization' where harmony, peace and love thrive. Indigenious peoples around the Earth have looked to the Pleiades as relations, and speak of the Pleiadians in their legends. The Pleiadians are now very concerned about the well~being of Earth.

Long ago, the Buffalos were brought to the Great Plains and the Yaks were brought to the barren lands of Tibet so that humans could exist in these extreme climatic regions. Without these rugged four-leggeds to provide sustenance, no one could possibly survive in these areas. Because these places are key to Mother Earth's "sacred geology", the humans were needed to activate the sites in beautiful manner. The Lakotas say that White Buffalo Calf Woman is one of the seven sisters of the Pleiades constellation. Other messages say that this Goddess is actually from the Pleiades and that she comes to Earth to help restore balance to life.

Think of Mother Earth as a sentient being. Now, imagine the round Earth as a human skull.

In this metaphor, the west~east cardinal directions of the Earth Medicine Wheel correspond to the ears on the skull.

Black Hills <<~)O(~>> Tibet

The mountains are like ears protruding from the skull. Both areas are characterized by underground caves that match the ear canals. A special mechanism in the inner ear allows humans to balance upright on two feet all the time, unlike any other creature. In the process of restoring the Black Hills & Tibet as spiritual sanctuaries, Mother Earth will begin coming back into her state of natural balance.

Now, imagine Earth as a Crystal Skull . . . . .

the Crystal Skulls are traditional sacred power objects of Tibetans & Mayas

Spain & southern France correspond to the Third Eye Chakra

"Sacred Geology" helps us understand just how close the Earth Mother is to us human beings. In this metaphor, where the ears correspond to Tibet and the Black Hills, the 3rd eye on the skull matches to the region of Spain and southern France on the map of the continents.

Anatomically, the 3rd Eye Chakra matches the pineal gland. The pineal is attached to the physical eyes with many optic nerves & functions to assimilate sunlight into our body. Metaphysicians called this master gland,'the seat of the soul'. Sun really enhances our lives. How interesting that this area on the anatomical map of the skull correlates with the part of our anatomy that connects with the light. Actually, the metaphor of the 3rd eye, the inner spiritual eye begins to fit. The regions of Spain & southern France are reknown for the deep caves that were used by shamans around 20,000 years ago. Altamira and Lascaux contain powerful images. Our ancestors innately understood the Earth's majestic geological features such as the caves. Inside the caves of the Earth's '3rd Eye' region are paintings of the bison & horses that nourished their physical and spiritual lives. Imagine! Their Earth was radically different that the Earth of today.

'Vision' is very important if Earth is to enjoy a beautiful future. White BUffalo Calf Woman is returned to cultivate the 'medicine' of great fore~sight through her "S O S' film.
