A letter from Chief Arvol Looking Horse

A Great Urgency

To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders

My Relatives,

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc'I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children's future and well-being, and the generations to come.

White Wolf Woman

White Wolf Woman

I have been questing for my Crone Native American name and through much prayer and thought filled days and nights, Creator has gifted me with my new name. White Wolf Woman.

                                                White Wolf Woman Video

Let me tell you how this came about. My great great Grandmother gifted me with the name 'Little Bird' It was the name she called me when I was a little girl, and when I went through my Cherokee naming ceremony a few years ago, I chose to honor Grandmother by keeping the name. It seemed fitting for me, as my Spirit Guide is the Hawk, and during the naming ceremony when I accepted the name there was immediately the sound of many birds singing their songs. It was a symphony of bird songs being sung to say "YES" to their accepting of my name Little Bird.

Then, just last year when my drum was birthed, as it dried in the sun, there were birds that appeared in the skin of the drum. One looks very much like a hawk and was the first one to appear.

This year dawned bright with the Blue Moon telling me that it was time for me to be gifted with my Crone name. Being a Crone indicates that a woman is through her menopause years and is now ready to accept walking in Wise Woman's Ways. The ancient Wise Woman Crone archetype is emerging within women all over the world. We are beginning to realize that this third and crowning stage of female life (the one our culture throws away) is more authentic, creative, outrageous, powerful, funny, healing and profound than we ever imagined.(http://www.birthingthecrone.com/). I embraced this knowledge with great joy and looked with great anticipation for my name to be revealed.

First I thought that it would come from my Cherokee sister Ayanvli, who had performed my first naming ceremony. But as I sought direction from my ancestors angels and spirit guides it soon became clear that I was to quest for the name. So the journey began.

One weekend my grand daughter who is 5, came for a visit. She likes to find music on YouTube, so we sat one evening listening to songs she found. She asked to listen to a song that had a photo of a wolf on it as she loves animals. The song was 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica. A dear friend was here also and we both cringed because we were not sure if it was appropriate for a 5 year old to listen to. My grand daughter was insistent that we needed to listen to the song about wolves. So, I told her we would listen and see if it was an OK song for children. She stated that this song would be very perfect for all of us to hear. So, we began to listen.

And that was the beginning of a profound change in me...down to my cellular level I could feel this sound resonate with my spirit. My friend felt the same. My granddaughter in her simple childlike way had listened to Spirit and led us to this awesome song. We listened in silence, and we wept. And we watched the wolves in the photos. The only glitch was that whoever made the video had put in an advertisement which stayed on through the whole thing. Yet the wolves spoke to me from the screen.

The name came that night in a dream. I saw myself running with wolves. We were running through a forest, with the beautiful Full Blue Moon shining down upon us. I looked down and at first I saw my own body and legs and feet. Then slowly as I was running my feet changed into a Wolf's feet, then the legs changed, my torso changed, and I was running with the wolves as a wolf. I was a beautiful silvery white color, majestic in stance and running with power and freedom. I heard a howl in the distance, which changed into a clear voice "White Wolf Woman". Soon I ran into a glen, all the wolves stopped and formed a circle around me. They began to howl my name in the moonlight...White Wolf Woman. I stood in the glen and was showered with the moon glow, accepting the name and howling with the wolves.

When I awoke in the morning, I knew what my new name was, yet felt this tremendous fear at the same time. How could this be? The White Wolf Woman is one who is extremely powerful and wise. She walks in her own power with head held high and with arms outstretched to bring love and knowledge to other women and to the children of earth. I felt this was too high a responsibility and that I could not possibly have heard right. Who was I to be called White Wolf Woman?

As the days passed into months, there have been many confirmations that this is my new name. My own dog Ebony, who we believe to be a Chow/Wolf confirmed the name one night by coming and jumping into my lap while the song 'Nothing Else Matters' was playing. I began to look for photos of white wolves and other wolves on line. Each one spoke to my heart. I found photos of Hawks and Wolves together. The signs began to come every day until I finally bowed in reverence and accepted this name.

I thought we would have ceremony for this naming, yet realized that the naming was done by Creator and Spirit in a very powerful way. At some point I will have a gathering of friends to drum and celebrate with me my entering into my Crone years and have them bless me with my new name. But for now...I have accepted the name, and the mantle that comes with it. To walk in wisdom and truth. To love and protect.

I AM White Wolf Woman

Let Them Go

By T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. ... See More

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.. You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something.. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!
