In the beginning there was chaos, vast and dark space;
Then appeared Gaia, the deep breasted earth.

I do better at following up other peopels groups then I do my own I guess. I tend to wander to much.

Joni may have already read this one on Enchanted Forest,

Ojibwa Tradition as I learned it as a child

According to Ojibwa Native tradition as it was told to me by the elders as a child at the children’s learning circle. All things, both animate and inanimate have spirit energy. Universe is living spirit. The stars are Spirit Elders. The moon is Spirit Grandmother and the Earth is Spirit Mother. All upon the Mother is of the living spirit, the rocks, the soil, the plants, the animals as in the water and all that resides within it. The air and all that resides within it as well.

This was why in the old days when one had used what they needed from the land it was returned to the land from where all is born. An offering of tobacco and prayer in thanksgiving was offered to the Spirit who had provided for them. It was believed that all that was provided to the people should be returned to replenish the Earth Mother's living spirit.

Then there is the moon cycle ceremony of Grandmother moon who comes to visit every month to cleans and prepare the girl child for womanhood or to cleans the mother to be in the sacred moon lodge.

Father sun gives sustenance to Mother Earth and her children. The children of the grandfather stars from whence they came so shall they return.

In the old days the people celebrated pot-loch twice per year, spring and fall. This is the ancient celebration that is basis of the modern day pow wow. A sacred celebration in thanksgiving to the sun god and the spirit mother for providing them with the abundant seasons of trading, hunting, fishing and harvesting that they have been blessed to have to sustain them through the long
sleeping time.---------------------------------

Physicists today have discovered that there are various frequencies of energies coming from everywhere, the Earth, plants, air and water as well as from Universe itself. It is believed that If you can be at peace with yourself, you can become harmonious with the universal consciousness around you.
Your greatest requirement will be *believing without the slightest doubt* in your ability to do so.

You need to be in harmony with the Earth elements, *Gaia,* to manifest what you need or want. Do not forget that these energies do not discriminate negative from positive, that is left for you to make the right choice.

You can place your request or prayer to the elements in the Native traditional way, by sprinkling a sweet grass, sage or tobacco offering on an open flame as the fragrant smoke lifts your prayer or petition up to the heavens to Great Spirit.

But prayers alone will not manifest your desired request, you must still put on your moccasins and till the land to grow the seed of thought so that it may be nurtured and grown grown into being in this reality. You will be guided and will never be alone, for Great Spirit is there to lead you.

Hi Sonja, I read that mini story sometime before, it is beautiful way to look at life. There is always a choice, it's just sad that many of us will at times choose the negative way to look at things.
