<p align="center"><b>WHITE</b> <b>BUFFALO</b> <b>CALF WOMAN Part 1</b></p>
<p>Children of Illumination, let your spirits soar upon the wind that whispers through your hearts. Let your spirits soar upon the song of a bird, the twinkle of a star, the babble of a creek. Let your spirits ride upon the tail of a rainbow. I Am White Buffalo Calf Woman. I Am she that weaves and heals the holes in your heart. Like a spider I Weave Light catching the morning dew of hope. </p>
<p>Ascension is not available until you have embraced all of earth – her dilemmas, her heartaches; her pains. For you come to clear and love the flesh of your flesh that comes from the body of Mother Earth. By not loving your humanness, by not loving your earthiness, by not loving the cells, and the organs, and the hairs, and the wrinkles upon your body – you are not loving your Mother Earth. You can heal her only by loving YOU. </p>
<p>Stop on a daily basis and love every inch of the human body that you wear over your light. You are asked to enter into this next doorway of Light by loving every ache, every pain, every bone, every hair every iota of you inside and out. It is easy to love the whales, the trees and the rainbows, but not so easy to love your humanness. Do you love who you are this minute? Every intersection of life is etched in the memories of your flesh. </p>
<p>Every choice you ever made – no matter how you view it now – was a divine choice. Every experience that you germinated, cultivated and then harvested was a creation manifested and birthed by the Divinity within you. Every individual on Earth is having a different experience. Do not judge their experiences, nor criticize them, nor analyze them, nor rebuke them -- for their experiences are perfectly divine, as they have created them. </p>
<p>The upcoming energies ask you to come into balance within yourself and not to worry if thy neighbor is in balance, or thy husband is in balance or thy boss is in balance. Balance begins and ends with you. It is not your concern what another is doing, as their learning experience. Do not busy yourself with the details of changing others. busy yourself with honoring your choices, your energies, your frequencies, and your challenges. </p>
<p>Each of you has come to a boxed canyon. You seem to be at the end of your rope and choices. Understand dear ones, you are being asked to move mountains, to change the molecular structure of what blocks your way, to walk through what keeps you less than, separating the seas of your life. Walk in empowerment knowing that you can shift what you commanded into existence. For every item in your life, in your closet, on your floor, and on your body – you commanded into existence. You created it into the physical world. I Buffalo Calf Woman ask you to love all of your creations --for God does not rebuke even one of his creations – he loves all of them, no matter how much the creation does not love itself. You are asked to take the posture of Creator and love what you have brought forth into your life. </p>
<p>You all stand at the Doorway of <i>The Sun</i>. You will experience an eclipse of the sun. This does not mean that blackness will enter your heart, but that you will go within to the portal of the heart and enter into all that you have brought forth to learn from. On the other side of all black holes are stars that are being born, birth that star within you. </p>
<p>Walk into the sun. The sun is a doorway of pure light. It is a pinhole in the cosmos, and the trueness of God shines through it. Walk into the sun within yourself. Embrace who you are. Stand tall in your light. I am White Buffalo Calf Woman. I leave you in love and blessings</p>
<p></p>
<p align="center"><b>White</b> <b>Buffalo</b> <b>Calf Woman Part 2</b></p>
<p align="center"><b>I am the face in the Mirror</b></p>
<p>I am she who breathes with you as you breathe in the hope of a new day. I am she who gently closes your eyes at the end of a stress-filled day. I am the face in the Mirror and I am the face in the reflection of the hummingbird’s wings. Look for my face in all life for it is there that I dwell. I am White Buffalo Calf Woman. I come to you as you sit in strength, in power, seeking serenity.</p>
<p>For so long you have kept true being captive. You have kept her silent, and you have kept her in a state of weeping. For so long, you have kept your true being in a dungeon in the very bottom of your heart– afraid to let it out. I ask you to stand fully in your divinity. You are all such beautiful beings – all different shapes and sizes, colors and personalities. Throw yourself into the pool of creation and blend with the Mother. Blend with all the faces of God that shine so brightly. Blend with the cycles of the moon, of the earth and of your body. Blend with every part of you that you are ashamed of, all your secrets. Enjoy the fullness of your body– for God loves every ounce of flesh that you are. Do not be ashamed if you are too little, too large or just right. God lives in every ounce of you. </p>
<p>Mother Earth for too long has allowed her children to direct her, to cajole her into thinking that all was okay. She will empower herself with what needs to be done, what needs to be healed. She will do this gently and with love. Be thankful that she is gentle and loving—for the earth would shatter and break apart – if she was otherwise. Let down the hair of your soul and show the true being that you are. Stand on a cliff over the pounding shores, remembering those times when you went to the mountaintops, and called the wind, when you sang to the water, and whispered to the elements.</p>
<p>I come to applaud the boldness of your spirit. Do not let life whip you into submission. Do not let your very own creations make you barren of passion. If what you have created does not honor you- let it go. Resurrect what was once without fear. I am White Buffalo Calf Woman.<b> </b></p> The Dual Nature of Power Objects like the White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe of Peacetag:lightgrid.ning.com,2013-08-10:4024228:Topic:3109192013-08-10T20:57:51.092ZDovehttps://lightgrid.ning.com/profile/Dove

<p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><font color="#FFFF00">A Sacred Pipe is a Peace Pipe and wherever it goes, it goes to create peace. It will show where disharmony lies and what is in the hearts of those who hold it, use it or even covet it. Sometimes the pipe’s action is subtle and may take time to eventuate and sometimes it is harsh or even accompanied by brutal acts. This however is not the pipe itself, but our reaction to the stimulus of the nature of the pipe. The pipe can invoke our pain that exists because of what is already in our hearts.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">Please note, this posting is of my thoughts and insights. I have not been instructed by any authority other than my own, and I apologise if what I write here gives cause for any grief or distress to anyone.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655672826?profile=original" target="_self"><font color="#FFFF00"><font color="#000080"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655672826?profile=original" name="Grafik8" align="bottom" width="247" height="251" border="1" id="Grafik8"/></font></font></a></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">One day, I was contemplating a story told to me by a friend about a White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe, which, some years ago, had a change of custodian and dissent had grown around the new custodian’s fitness for the role. It was believed the pipe was being disrespected, neglected and allowed to gather dust.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">Usually, a change of custodianship occurs after the new custodian is already prepared in the ways of protecting the pipe, and also following the death of the current custodian. In the case of my friend, this transfer happened shortly before the current custodian died but it was gifted without any such preparation and although from the outset the choice of custodian upset a few people, there was nothing they could do about it. As the pipe changed hands it moved to another country, yet the discord and disharmony about the situation reigned. Could it be that the new custodian was chosen for reasons beyond imagining? Was the new custodian a person who did have respect for peace and was the pipe going to bring about a change for them or their community? In fact, the pipe never left it’s people despite travelling over the seas. It remained in the hearts of the people who loved it and the problem of their dissent did not leave them.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">Indeed, a pipe may even move to a new custodian to eventually create a greater peace by detecting discord and finding a way to relocate closer to that energy, seeking it out, if you will. We attribute wisdom to a sacred pipe, but it actually demands healing of discordant energy in our hearts, through actions of forgiveness, commitment to friendship everlasting, and future actions that create and respect that peace...these are all tenets that the White Buffalo Calf Pipe represents and can empower in each of us by challenging us. We may then do something to bring about peace or further highlight the discord which is so far preventing peacefulness.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655672873?profile=original" target="_self"><font color="#FFFF00"><font color="#000080"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655672873?profile=original" name="Grafik9" align="bottom" width="374" height="38" border="1" id="Grafik9"/></font></font></a></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">I am reminded of Custer, with whom, by his own admission, there was not the intention of peace, when he accepted the pipe smoking ritual. He had no intention of actually honouring the meaning of the ceremony, even writing in his memoires about his actions, words to the effect of, if only the Indians had known what I had in my heart they truly would never have smoked the pipe with me. The pipe Custer smoked was White Buffalo Calf’s Pipe. As we remember that the White Buffalo Calf Pipe's action is to show up a lack of peacefulness at the point of intention by having that intention’s energy become truly manifest, we can understand that this is what led Custer to war, just as it can similarly lead anyone who comes into contact with the pipe and who is not true, into trouble.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">The White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe which Custer smoked, was protected in sage, not simply to keep it clear of lower energies. Was the pipe insulated in sage because it was so powerful that it had to be kept away from the other tribes-people, who could from time to time become impure? If that impurity would surely manifest and bring about troubles between the people of the community and even outside the tribe, with other tribes, then the wisdom of the custodian was to preserve the best peace possible by protecting his own people from suspecting the power of the pipe.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">Being a custodian of the pipe could encumber one with the care of many people at whatever level of consciousness they were, as well as of the peace. The sacred pipe custodianship is a critical role in a peaceful community, which could demand such commitment from the custodian for their entire life. The secrets of the custodianship were so important that they were not fully shared with anyone, not even with the custodians family members and perhaps with the Medicine Man, who had the capacity to understand the dynamics of the role.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655673309?profile=original" target="_self"><font color="#FFFF00"><font color="#000080"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655673309?profile=original" name="Grafik10" align="bottom" width="347" height="38" border="1" id="Grafik10"/></font></font></a></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">The sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe was considered so powerful that it was kept hanging within its own tent, which was only entered by the custodian and perhaps close family members being groomed into future custodianship. At any rate, the whole family of the custodian shared the custodianship to some degree and had great respect for the protection of the pipe, which meant more than life itself.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">Contact with the sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe may have lifted a veil between dimensions, and the un-truth of this world, once made manifest, would be in contrast with the heavenly world, where the existence of such duality is impossible and lower energies are eradicated. In the realm of lower energetics, the purpose of the arising trouble is to show what our reservations may be, so that we may work to resolve dishonesty, fear, jealousy, envy and so on, and for this work, we may need guidance in order to overcome our concerns, which can at times may seem so great to us that we cannot overcome them alone.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655673497?profile=original" target="_self"><font color="#FFFF00"><font color="#000080"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655673497?profile=original" name="Grafik11" align="bottom" width="329" height="246" border="1" id="Grafik11"/></font></font></a></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">The pipe is a sacred object that must be approached in the rightful manner. It could be said that the white man has not understood the dual aspect of the sacred pipe's action, partly because their tradition is not to embrace the negative and by negative I simply mean the opposite, diametrically opposed energy, of that positive. Surely, this is a wisdom that a traditional custodian of the sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe would know, but which wouldn't be discussed openly with those who may be affected, a Medicine Man being the exception because to discuss it openly could cause a kind of hysteria to ensue. If people do not understand the dual nature of the pipe and mistake the pipe itself for a cause or source of evil, there could develop a generalised fearful suspicion of the object and it's keeper and their family, who are most necessary in maintaining the pipe, it’s ritual and ceremony.</font></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">It is better that things are dealt with in the house where understanding also resides, as passed on by the tradition of the bearing of the custodianship. For the custodian, knowing the dual nature power of the White Buffalo Calf Woman pipe, imagine the emphasis on keeping themselves pure! What a task! So, the pipe can stir up trouble to bring about eventual peace but it is not an object of evil, it simply manifests the unrecognised discord that already exists within us, doing so through challenge. Bearing a peace pipe is an opportunity to be strong in the knowledge that the pipe wants for the resolution of un-manifest peace for us and will help us to achieve it.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655673710?profile=original" target="_self"><font color="#FFFF00"><font color="#000080"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655673710?profile=original" name="Grafik12" align="bottom" width="184" height="250" border="1" id="Grafik12"/></font></font></a></p>
<p><font color="#FFFF00">It's worth remembering, ceremonially, from any location, you may smoke the peace pipe with anyone! The sacred pipe knows your intention as truly as you do.</font></p>

In 1994 right before a calf was born, I had an amazing spiritual vision dream where horses and then buffalo were streaming out of the center of still water, regenerating and propegating like crazy. My friend then informed me of the calf that had been just born and how the Klamath Falls peoples felt this was a big sign. I love her and thank her for being here with us.

<div class="xg_module_body"><div class="postbody"><div class="xg_user_generated"><p>Hello Everyone :)</p>
<p>I finally finished my painting and wanted to share here. I'm very proud of how it turned out.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655672010?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655672010?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Artist Statement:</p>
<p>Originally I wanted to represent the 7 Chakra's in a Native American way as well as depict what White Buffalo Calf woman means to me. I feel very connected to her story as if it were my own. We see her laying there on Mother Earth dreaming of balance and the teachings she has for the people of Earth (Medicine wheel, HOOP of life etc).</p>
<p>Starting from bottom to the top:</p>
<p>Muladhara Chakra- EARTH (world)</p>
<p>Svadhishthana Chakra-WATER (river)</p>
<p>Manipura Chakra-FIRE (fire/sunset)</p>
<p>Anahata Chakra-AIR (smoke)</p>
<p>Vishuddha Chakra-AKASHA/void of space (Rainbow bridge)</p>
<p>Ajna Chakra- Combination of the essence of ALL ELEMENTS in their purest form (<span>White Buffalo</span>)</p>
<p>Sahasrara Chakra- TRANSCENDING all elemental influence (Space/ancestors/spirit world)</p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p>I painted the Pleiades in the night sky in correlation to the 7 tipi's down below, because many believe that Pleiadians came down and took the form of Native Americans. I believe this theory is true for myself as well. Others say that that is where we will return when we die, it may be so for some but i would like to return straight to the SOURCE :) and be ONE with Mother/Father GREAT SPIRIT!</p>

<p></p>
<p>I painted 12 cornstalks in correlation to The 12 feathers on the pipe to represent The 12 TRIBES of israel/Abraham. The sprouting corn represents the descendants/offspring. I have heard that this is what the Authentic pipe looks like. Clay with a small buffalo calf on the bowl for the <span>masculine</span>part and the long wooden pipe for the <span>feminine</span> part. She brought this to the tribe she visited to teach them balance of their two sides and how to pray to the 7 directions</p>
<p>(similar to this prayer)</p>
<p><b>"To the East: to the new day, to the Light Within/Without. To golden eagle. To illumination. East, Gate of the Morning, thank you for the moving airs, for the awakening of life. May my eyes lift to see the freedom of the birds. May my thoughts be in awareness of the gifts of each moment. </b></p>
<p><b><br/>To the East: I call for your power and spirit to come in."</b></p>
<p><b>"To the South: to Trust and innocence. To the Little Mouse. To white tailed deer, to the good road home. South, sacred fire of creativity, I seek your vitality in healthy alliance. Thank you for the teachings of relationship; for music, dance and art, those things that carry joy and communion. I pray that my life may unfold in harmony with my kin in all realms.</b></p>
<p><b><br/></b><b>To the South: I call for your power and spirit to come in."</b></p>
<p><b>"To the West: to the Dark Waters of Looking Within. To black bear, brown bear, to raven. To the medicine path. West, power of places between the worlds, I turn to you seeking passage into the depths of knowing and unknowing. Thank you for the lightening and the cleansing rain, for those things that teach compassion and nourish understanding. Thank you panther, for the medicine of solitude and the silent stalking for truth.</b></p>
<p><b><br/>To the West: I call for your power and spirit to come in."</b></p>
<p><b>"To the North: Home of the old ones and those gone by. To the wisdom place, place of White Buffalo and Snow Leopard, Moose and Beaver. North, Spirit’s mountaintop, I turn to you for wisdom. In the place free of shadow I seek perspective and a path of service. Thank you for the gifts of lodge and sustenance. I pray to live upon this gracious earth with remembrance of gratitude and with respect for my elders in all realms.<br/><br/>To the North: I call for your power and spirit to come in."</b></p>
<p><b><br/>"To Mother Earth, enfolding all beings with the beauty of compassion, nurturance creativity and peace. Hear my prayer for the two-leggeds and the four leggeds, for those who fly and crawl and swim and walk and run, for all children of the Mother."</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><b>"To Father Sky, encircling all beings with the light of protection, warmth, clarity and vision. Hear my prayer and grant me the courage to bring the radiance of my true Self out into the world, and the humility and self-esteem to foster the radiance of others."</b></p>
<p><b>"To that place within my being where the 6 directions meet. May I live today from this center of wholeness and balance."<br/><br/>End with these words: <br/><br/>"Thank you for this day. Thank you for this opportunity to serve. "<br/><br/>If you are alone, or if the group will continue with silent individual prayer, you may hold the cornmeal to your heart and speak your words to Great Spirit:<br/><br/>"Great Spirit, hear me. This one calls to you."<br/><br/>Then speak what is in your heart.</b></p>
<p><b>*In every direction spreading cornmeal or using the pipe to give tabacco to the wind spirits</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>I chose to do a WAXING MOON because it symbolizes-new beginnings, a fresh start, and rebirth, working up to the full moon. I also painted a moon because she taught of the cycles of the moon.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The vision/channeling i had of her started with floating high and white above a Golden field as two men approached. The feeling was complete peace and oneness to all that is. Then further into the village i followed, to teach. They awaited me to come out and speak with them. The feeling there brought me to tears and i could go no further. They all surrounded me in a circle and I felt as though i was singing in the most beautiful voice and teaching them the ways and giving the Elder the pipe. It was truly a moving experience that will stick with me forever. I was so saddened to awaken to these times having felt what she does for the Earth and all her creatures and how things have ended up. How very sad it is indeed, the state in which Mother Earth has been treated and disrespected. My only hope is that all her great teachings are restored once more to all races of the world when we meet on The Rainbow Bridge one day. I pray that Mother Earth be cleansed and rid of all evil that ails and destroys her and that once more BALANCE/HARMONY of life be restored!</p>

<p>Blessings to all who walk the Red Road~PEACE ON EARTH!</p>

He will also soon have an official naming ceremony with members of the Sioux Indian tribe. Members of the Sioux tribe said they had prayed for a white buffalo, and Tatanka was born three days after that prayer.</span></p>

<h2><span class="font-size-6"><em><strong><font face="Chicago">Lakota Constellations and the Black Hills</font></strong></em></span></h2>
<p><span class="font-size-5"><em><strong><font face="Chicago"><br/></font></strong></em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><em><strong>Sinte Gleiska University scholar Ronald Goodman spent ten years studying the astronomical folklore of Lakota people, and the result of this work was <u>Lakota Star Knowledge: Studies in Lakota Stellar Theology</u>, a book which detailed the literally "cosmic" importance of the Black Hills for Lakota people. It discusses the spring constellations which the Lakota people observed while moving in a cyclical round from site to site in the Black Hills. The Black Hills were thought to be a terrestrial mirror of the cosmos, so the Lakota were simply "mirroring" the motions of the heavens. As the sun moved counterclockwise through the ecliptic, the Lakota were moving clockwise through the terrestrial analogues of their constellations. (Goodman, 1990.)</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong><br/></strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong>These constellations were: Canshasha Ipusye (Dried Willow), which was watched from the winter camps during the spring equinox; Wincinchala Sakowin (the Seven Little Girls = the Pleiades), which were watched from Harney Peak during "thunder's welcoming"; Tayamni (the Buffalo), which were watched from a central cairn during "life's welcoming in peace"; Ki Inyanka Ocanku (the center of the "Race Track"), which were watched from Pe Sla (a bare hill); and Mato Tipila (the Bear's Lodge), which were watched from Devil's Tower, during the summer solstice, prior to the Sun Dance. The 'race track' was subdivided into Cangleshka Wakan (sacred hoop) and Tayamni Cankahu (the Animal's Backbone.)</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong><br/></strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong>The idea of the Black Hills as a 'terrestrial zodiac' is interesting; such an idea was proposed by Katharine Maltwood for some of the formations around Glastonbury.</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong>The key sacred sites within the Black Hills, which are themselves thought to be enclosed by a terrestrial 'race track,' are Bear Lodge Butte, Old Baldy, Ghost Butte, and Thunder Butte. Devil's Tower is actually outside the Black Hills, but it forms the symbolic "Buffalo's Head" of the Lakota with two other hills inside the area -- Bear Butte as the "Buffalo's Nose," and Inyan Kaga as the "Black Buffalo Horn." Goodman notes that the tipi's shape also mirrors the heavens: 3 poles for the North Star, 7 poles for the cardinal directions, 2 poles for "ears", equaling the 12 months and the 12 stars (morning, evening, 7 in the dipper, 3 in Orion's belt.)</strong></em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><em><strong><span>The Lakota call Devils Tower "Bear Lodge," "Bear Lodge Butte," "Grizzly Bear's Lodge," "Penis Mountain," "Mythic-owl Mountain," "Grey Horn Butte," and "Ghost Mountain." The Lakota people have a sacred narrative or legend on the origin of Bear Lodge. <sup><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/deto/place.htm#1"><span>1</span></a></sup></span></strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em><strong><span>The Lakota often had winter camps at Devils Tower. <sup><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/deto/place.htm#2"><span>2</span></a></sup> This is documented at least as far back as around 1816. <sup><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/deto/place.htm#1"><span>1</span></a></sup></span></strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em><strong><span><cite>"White Bull told of 'honor men' among the people who went up close to Devils Tower for four-day periods,</cite> <cite>fasting and praying. There they slept on beds of sagebrush, taking no food or water during this time. Once, five great Sioux leaders- Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Gall, and Spotted Tail - went there together to worship.</cite></span></strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p><em><strong><span>The Lakota also received the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, the most sacred object of the Lakota people, at Bear Lodge by White Buffalo Calf Woman, a legendary spiritual being. The sacred pipe's sanctuary was located within a secret cave on the north side of Bear Lodge. <sup><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/deto/place.htm#1"><span>1</span></a></sup> In 1875, General George A. Custer swore by the pipe that he would not fight Indians again. "He who swears by the pipe and breaks oaths, comes to destruction, and his whole family dies, or sickness comes upon them." <sup><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/deto/place.htm#3"><span>3</span></a></sup>Pipes often are held as sacred objects used in vision quests, Sun Dances, sweatlodge rites, and in making peace.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span>Eastern Shoshone</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span>The Eastern (Plains) Shoshone claim to have a sacred association with Devils Tower.</span></strong></em></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><em><strong>Goodman also discusses Fallen Star and the afterlife beliefs of the Lakota. This ties into the Lakota constellation known as nape, "the Hand," which consists of Orion's belt and sword, and the stars of Rigel and Eridanus Beta. He suggests "the Hand" can be correlated with the "Chief who Lost his Arm." In this legend, the chief has his arm torn from his shoulder by Thunderbirds as a result of his selfishness. His daughter offers to marry Fallen Star if he can recover the hand for her. Fallen Star succeeds in this quest, defeats the Thunderbirds and Inktomi, and marries her. As Goodman points out, Fallen Star represents the new chief and the new year, and their son the renewed earth of spring.</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong><br/></strong></em></span></p>
<p><span><em><strong>In the legend, it is said that while searching for the arm, "Fallen Star... seems to be in the Black Hills area, but at the same time he also appears to be moving through the star world. He travels through three villages or 'star peoples,' and it is said his son will have to visit the other four." Something of astronomical significance is being described here... but I am not sure what. What's most fascinating is how similar this is to the "wounded king" myth of European Grail legends - the wound leads to a loss of fertility, and only healing this wound restores the land. The Grail legends are said to have a zodiacal basis too...</strong></em></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3"><font size="3"><br/></font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-4"><font size="3">At first they could make out only a small moving speck and had to squint to see that it was a human form.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-4"><font size="3"><br/></font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-4"><font size="3">But as it came nearer, they realized that it was a beautiful young woman, more beautiful than any they had ever seen. She wore a wonderful white buckskin outfit, tanned until it shone a long way in the sun. It was embroidered with sacred and marvelous designs of porcupine quill, in radiant colors no ordinary woman could have made. This <i>wakan</i> stranger was Ptesan-Wi, White Buffalo Calf Woman. In her hands she carried a large bundle and a fan of sage leaves.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-4"><font size="3"> Her eyes shone dark and sparkling, with great power in them.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-4"><font size="3"><br/></font></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">The sacred woman then took leave of the people, saying: <i>"Toksha ake wacinyanktin ktelo</i> -- I shall see you again."</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"><br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">The people saw her walking off in the same direction from which she had come, outlined against the red ball of the setting sun. As she went, she stopped and rolled over four times. The first time, she turned into a black buffalo; the second into a brown one; the third into a red one; and finally, the fourth time she rolled over, she turned into a white buffalo calf. A white buffalo is the most sacred living thing you could ever encounter.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"><br/></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">The White Buffalo Calf Woman disappeared over the horizon. As soon as she had vanished, buffalo in great herds appeared, <strong>allowing themselves to be killed so that the people might survive. </strong></span></p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-4">White Buffalo Woman</span></strong></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">There was a time, before the plains Indians had horses to hunt.. the young</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">men would walk for day in search of food. One summer two young men</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">were out hunting when in the distance they saw a young and very</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">beautiful woman in white doe skins.</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">As the woman came closer, they could see that her buckskin were</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">decorated with sacred designs in rainbow-colored porcupine quills. She</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">carried a bundle on her back, and a fan of fragrant sage leaves in her hand.</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">Her hair was the color of a raven and glistened in the sun as obsidian.</span></p>
