Prayer to the Seven Sacred Directions
Ancestors of the the East, each day you bring us new light so that we may grow in wisdom. We have been waiting for the time when your light would shine in the hearts of all people. Then they would remember the Original Instructions that were written in our hearts since the beginning of all things... Now is that time.
Great Spirits of the South, your warm winds have sent us your love and the abundance from Mother Earth. We have always sought to walk in balance and harmony, knowing that all our needs would be met. The power and wisdom of this path is not easily understood when the mind is taught inside boundaries and the heart is closed to the soft wind of spirit. Open the heart of those who follow the way of the mind.
Medicine Powres of the West, in the darkness of night you have sent us dreams to see deep inside our hearts, to learn how to walk in a good way. We see the beauty that hides behind each moment and discover the Great Mystery that is in us and all things. Help the people see the power of their dreams.
Grandmothers and Grandfathers of the North, you have brought the cold winds and snows each year to cleanse our Mother Earth. The energies of the stars have shifted into a new focus to end domination and hierarchy. No longer is it possible to live by the mind unless it is guided by the heart. Blow the fresh, clean wind of spirit to sweep away the belief systems that limit our brothers and sisters who are trapped in a way that forgets the old ways of our People.
Great Masculine Energy from Above, you have sent visions and dreams to help us remember who we are. We have not forgotten you. The stories have been rediscovered and returned to the People. You have shown that the path of reconciliation and peace is through the heart. Send the light of inspiration to those of us gathered here, to help us show others a new way of being.
Great Earth Mother, Source of Life. You have given us our food, our water, air, shelter, and so many beautiful beings who are our Brothers and Sisters. We know we are connected to you and to all other beings in the Web of Life. Many are those who do not know of their connection. They see only with their eyes and their mind. With a narrow focus they see parts of things instead of the energy of love and wholeness. They have forgotten the Original Instructions. As their Mother, you have been patient with them. Extend that patience a little longer so the these children can find a new way by following the old ways.
Great Mystery, we feel your presence in us and in all things. You are the spiral energy of love that connects all, is all. You are the circle of life, the circle way. When we are living in our heart, we can soar with White Eagle to see beyond horizons. I ask for protection in a humble manner, to walk gently on the Mother and to live with honor.
