O, Great Spirit,it is your son of the panther clan who speaks to you. I ask you to show me the way you wish me to go, light the path with your stars and let my spirit guide help me with the things that give me the most trouble. O, Great Spirit, give me the wisdom of the eagle and the strength of the bear so that I may do what is required of me, and let me understand the things that I cannot change, so that I may bear them with courage. O, Great Spirit, defend me with your shield of war and defend my spirit with my spirit guide. Let the light of the sun shine on my face and your cool winds blow on my body. I thank you for the falling rain that gives me water to drink and I thank you for the game that feeds my body. O,Great Spirit,I thank you for the blue sky above and the green grass beneath my feet,and for the flowing waters of the river,I will always respect all the things of your nature, I promise this as your son and as a member of the panther clan, I will defend these things with all the powerof my arms. Shadow Proud of my Heritage
