Last.Tanka, Tankashilah, or by the many other names by which the Creator
is known.United States held religious rituals that revolved
around these uncommon animals.Creator of some special religious meaning.These special sacred dogs were highly valued and raised
specifically for religious ceremonies.Even to nursing them as they would a newborn
infant, and never allowed the animal's feet to touch the ground.The last two pups were born in conjunction with the births
of the two most recent white buffalo calves!Miracle several years ago, and the other just recently within
a week of yet another buffalo calve's birth.Which proves why they are considered so special and significant.They were crucial to the survival
for the nomadic tribes of the American west.The religious beliefs of the Plains tribes were all based
around the presence of the Buffalo.Without the Buffalo,
there would have been no chance of survival.Indian's land, and exterminating them from
the plains.European onslaught nearly wiped them from the earth.Fortunately, they have returned, and no longer face extinction.In order to understand these things, you must understand
how all of these things are connected.Native peoples who now
know and follow the sacred ways of the pipe.The Algonquians of the north recognize as the chief of their Manitos, Gitche (or Kitshi) Manito, the Great Spirit, whom they also call the Master of Life.It should not be inferred that a manlike personality is ascribed to the Great Spirit.Le Jeune wrote thus in 1633, concerning the Montagnais: "They say that there is a certain one whom they call Atahocan, who made all things.Winslow, writing in 1622, mentions a similar spirit, Kiehtan, recognized by the Massachusetts Indians; and the early writers on the Virginia Indians tell of their belief "that there is one chiefe God that hath beene from all eternitie" who made the world and set the sun and moon and stars to be his ministers.Aireskoi, we sacrifice to thee this victim that thou mayst satisfy thyself with her flesh, and give us victory over our enemies."It was really a touching spectacle to see the calumet, the Indian emblem of peace, raised heavenward by the hand of a savage, presenting it to the Master of Life imploring his pity on all his children on earth and begging him to confirm the good resolutions which they had made.""On all great occasions," says De Smet, "in their religious and political ceremonies, and at their great feasts, the calumet presides; the savages send its first fruits, or its first puffs, to the Great Waconda, or Master of Life, to the Sun, which gives them light, and to the Earth and Water by which they are nourished; then they direct a puff to each point of the compass, begging of Heaven all the elements and favorable winds."The ritual of the calumet defines for the Indian the frame of the world and the distribution of its indwelling powers.Above, in the remote and shining sky, is the Great Spirit, whose power is the breath of life that permeates all nature and whose manifestation is the light which reveals creation.The birds are the intermediaries between the habitation of men and the Powers Above; serpents and the creatures of the waters are intermediaries communicating with the Powers Below.The Chippewa believe that there are four "layers," or storeys, of the world above, and four of the world below.This is probably only a reflection in the overworld and the nether world of the fourfold structure of the cosmos, since four is everywhere the Indian's sacred number.Potogojecs, a Potawatomi chief, told Father De Smet how Nanaboojoo (Manibozho) "placed four beneficial spirits at the four cardinal points of the earth, for the purpose of contributing to the happiness of the human race.That of the south gives us that which occasions the growth of our pumpkins, melons, maize and tobacco.The spirit placed at the west gives us rain, and that of the east gives us light, and commands the sun to make his daily walks around the globe."Frequently the Indians identify the Spirits of the Quarters with the four winds.The Fawn is returning to its Doe."Four is the magic number in all Indian lore; fundamentally it represents the square of the directions, by which the creator measured out his work.He had
dances for every fireside.He believed in peace and the sacred obligations of hospitality.Christians and several stages higher than that of the Huxley and other modern schools of
materialism.What More

it as: Spirit River.Instead he is actively trying to change the name of the Rum River back to what the
native Americans called it, Wakan or Spirit River."It's a derogatory name and a profane name," Dahlheimer said.He's been advocating a name change for seven years."It's a mission I've
undertaken," he explained."It's like someone saying, "I'm
being called
to go to Africa and be a missionary."He's not the first
Thomas Dahlheimer isn't the first person to think the name of the Rum River should
be changed.During Prohibition there was a movement to change the name by those who saw the
addictive and harmful nature of rum upon society.In exchange for rum, they signed away their lands and
allowed themselves to be disconnected from what they valued.He's
pushing for Mille Lacs County to become a dry county, and then he intends to follow
the river down to Sherburne, Isanti and Anoka counties
lobbying for the change to dry.Today he still canoes
along it.French and a little Native
American man has fashioned a worldview around the word.The counter culture revolutionists he knew sought to establish one culture, taking
the best of the world's various traditions and creating one
all could be a part of.Later, while attending a Catholic conference, he heard a speaker talk about a universal
concept based on the Native American view of Wakan, the
Great Spirit.River considered sacred
The Dakota Indians consider the Rum River and the Lake it sprang from, Mille Lacs
Lake, to be sacred.When the white settlers arrived, they mistranslated the name as spirits or Rum,
according to Minnesota Geographic Names written by Warren
Upham.These settlers translated
into "Devil", which is why there are so many Devil's Lakes
and Devil's Rivers around.Lake Superior was called Manido, or Great Spirit, by the Native
Americans.In all, Dahlheimer hopes to see 12 derogatory names changed.The list includes
Savage Lake, Redskin Lake and the Snake River which winds though
Aitkin, Kanabec and Pine counties.That's the offence name the Ojibwe used for the Dakota
people.In 1995, anything with the name "Squaw" in it was changed after a bill was passed
by the state.In his letter of support, Mendota Mdewakanton Dakota Community Chairman Jim Anderson
wrote, "I believe that renaming the river 'Wakpa Wakan'
or 'Spirit River' is a great stride in mending the circle that we share with all
four colors of man.We, as Dakota, are very happy that there
are people out there that are trying to understand that by using names
like 'rum' and 'devil' to label sacred sites and places
is degrading to
our children, our elders and also to our ancestors.These places were already named
in our language by our people because of their special
meaning."After the story about his quest was published in the Princeton Union Eagle, a woman
opened the Spirit River Craft and Gift Store.The city also intends to rename the section of the County Road 70 inside the
city limits to Spirit River Drive, because of its proximity to
the Spirit River Nature Area, according to Cambridge City Administrator.Cambridge Planning Commissioner and Active Living member Bill Carlson sympathizes
with the plight of the Dakota people who remain spread
throughout the western plains while their homeland is in East Central Minnesota.PROPOSED NAME CHANGES

Mille Lacs, Mde Wakan, translated Spirit Lake, was given to its river but was changed by
white men to the most common spirituous liquor brought into
the Northwest, rum, which brought misery and ruin, as Du Luth observed of brandy, to many
of the Indians.SNAKE RIVER gets its name from the Ojibwe word Kanabec, or snake, naming it after
their enemies, the Dakota, who lived upriver, and who they
later displaced.The name Sioux is the terminal part of Nadouesioux, a term of hatred, meaning "snake,
enemies," which was applied by the Ojibwe and other
Algonquians to this people.THE North American Indian is by nature a symbolist, a mystic, and a philosopher.Not only did his Manidos control creation from their exalted seats above the clouds, but they also descended into the world of men and mingled with their red children.The gray clouds hanging over the horizon were the smoke from the calumets of the gods, who could build fires of petrified wood and use a comet for a flame.The red man's philosophy of elemental creatures is apparently the outcome of his intimate contact with Nature, whose inexplicable wonders become the generating cause of such metaphysical speculations.The underworld was similarly divided and like the Greek system represented to the initiated the House of the Lesser Mysteries.Sometimes a river flows between the world of the dead and that of the living, in this respect paralleling Egyptian, Greek, and Christian theology.To the Indian the number four has a peculiar sanctity, presumably because the Great Spirit created His universe in a square frame.The legendary narratives of the strange adventures of intrepid heroes who while in the physical body penetrated the realms of the dead prove beyond question the presence of Mystery cults among the North American red men."From coast to coast," writes Hartley Burr Alexander, "the sacred Calumet is the Indian's altar, and its smoke is the proper offering to Heaven.""The master of ceremonies, again rising to his feet, filled and lighted the pipe of peace from his own fire.By the first act he returned thanks to the Great Spirit for the preservation of his life during the past year, and for being permitted to be present at this council.By the second, he returned thanks to his Mother, the Earth, for her various productions which had ministered to his sustenance.The Indian does not worship the sun; he rather regards this shining orb as an appropriate symbol of the Great and Good Spirit who forever radiates life to his red children.Mysteries on the North American Continent.Atlantean islands (the cities of Chibola?Many American Indian tribes are reincarnationists, some are transmigrationists.The American Indians recognize the difference between the ghost and the actual soul of a dead person, a knowledge restricted to initiates of the Mysteries.Click to enlargeNAVAHO SAND PAINTING.From an original drawing by Hasteen Klah.The four mountains sacred to the Navahos are La Platte Mountain, Mount Taylor, Navaho Mountain, and San Francisco Mountain.While these three nations were under the earth four mountain ranges were below with them.The eastern mountains were white, the southern blue, the western yellow, and the northern black.The rise and fall of these mountains caused the alternation of day and night.When the white mountains rose it was day under the earth; when the yellow ones rose, twilight; the black mountains brought night, and the blue, dawn.Seven major deities were recognized by the Navahos, but Hasteen Klah was unable to say whether the Indians related these deities to the planets.Bakochiddy, one of these seven major gods, was white in color with light reddish hair and gray eyes.His father was the sun ray and his mother the daylight.He ascended to heaven and in some respects his life parallels that of Christ.To avenge the kidnapping of his child, Kahothsode, a fish god, caused a great flood to arise.To escape destruction, the Zunis, Hopis, and Navahos ascended to the surface of the earth.In the healing ceremony the patient is placed upon the drawing, which is made in a consecrated hogan, and all outsiders excluded.The theory of Group, or Elder, Souls having supervision over the animal species is also shared by them.The red man's belief in guardian spirits would have warmed the heart of Paracelsus.When they attain the importance of being protectors of entire clans or tribes, these guardians are called totems.In some tribes impressive ceremonies mark the occasion when the young men are sent out into the forest to fast and pray and there remain until their guardian spirit manifests to them.Hiawatha enjoys the distinction of anticipating by several centuries the late Woodrow Wilson's cherished dream of a League of Nations.Following in the footsteps of Schoolcraft, Longfellow confused the historical Hiawatha of the Iroquois with Manabozho, a mythological hero of the Algonquins and Ojibwas.Hiawatha, however, met the same opposition which has confronted every great idealist, irrespective of time or race.The shamans turned their magic against him and, according to one legend, created an evil bird which, swooping down from heaven, tore his only daughter to pieces before his eyes.No other sacred book sets forth so completely as the Popol Vuh the initiatory rituals of a great school of mystical philosophy."The Red 'Children of the Sun,'" writes James Morgan Pryse, "do not worship the One God.For them that One God is absolutely impersonal, and all the Forces emanated from that One God are personal.Decide for yourself which of these beliefs is the more philosophical.Serpent, who is the messenger of the Sun.Peru he was called Amaru.From the latter name comes our word America.All the Red men who have remained true to the ancient religion are still under their sway.It was translated into French by Brasseur de Bourbourg and published in 1861.Popol Vuh was translated into English, with extremely valuable commentaries, by James Morgan Pryse, but unfortunately his translation was never completed.These ceremonials are of first importance to students of Masonic symbolism and mystical philosophy, since they establish beyond doubt the existence of ancient and divinely instituted Mystery schools on the American Continent.Passing over the renditions, "The Book of the Mat" and "The Record of the Community," he considers it likely that the correct title is "The Collection of Written Leaves," Popol signifying the "prepared bark" and Vuh, "paper" or "book" from the verb uoch, to write.In his articles on the Popol Vuh appearing in the fifteenth volume of Lucifer, James Morgan Pryse, approaching the subject from the standpoint of the mystic, calls this work "The Book of the Azure Veil."In the Popol Vuh itself the ancient records from which the Christianized Indian who compiled it derived his material are referred to as "The Tale of Human Existence in the Land of Shadows, and, How Man Saw Light and Life."The meager available native records contain abundant evidence that the later civilizations of Central and South America were hopelessly dominated by the black arts of their priestcrafts.In the convexities of their magnetized mirrors the Indian sorcerers captured the intelligences of elemental beings and, gazing into the depths of these abominable devices, eventually made the scepter subservient to the wand.The sanguinary and indescribable rites practiced by many of the Central American Indians may represent remnants of the later Atlantean perversion of the ancient sun Mysteries.According to the secret tradition, it was during the later Atlantean epoch that black magic and sorcery dominated the esoteric schools, resulting in the bloody sacrificial rites and gruesome idolatry which ultimately overthrew the Atlantean empire and even penetrated the Aryan religious world.From her father she had learned of the marvelous calabash tree, and desiring to possess some of its fruit, she journeyed alone to the somber place where it grew.Xquiq, saying: "This saliva and froth is my posterity which I have just given you.Now my head will cease to speak, for it is only the head of a corpse, which has no more flesh."Led away by her executioners, Xquiq pleaded with them to spare her life, which they agreed to do, substituting for her heart the fruit of a certain tree (rubber) whose sap was red and of the consistency of blood.When the princes of Xibalba placed the supposed heart upon the coals of the altar to be consumed, they were all amazed by the perfume which rose therefrom, for they did not know that they were burning the fruit of a fragrant plant.Hearing of the prowess of the youths, the princes of Xibalba asked: "Who, then, are those who now begin again to play over our heads, and who do not scruple to shake (the earth)?This curious fragment was found four feet under the ground beneath a trash pile of broken early Indian pottery not far from the Casa Grande ruins in Arizona.It is significant because of its striking to the Masonic compass and square.Before departing, the two brothers bade farewell to their grandmother, each planting in the midst of the house a cane plant, saying that as long as the cane lived she would know that they were alive."O, our grandmother, O, our mother, do not weep; behold the sign of our word which remains with you.The actual ordeals of the Xibalbian Mysteries were seven in number.As a preliminary the two adventurers crossed a river of mud and then a stream of blood, accomplishing these difficult feats by using their sabarcans as bridges.Now Hunahpu and Xbalanque knew that their first test would consist of being able to discriminate between the princes of Xibalba and the wooden effigies robed to resemble them; also that they must call each of the princes by his correct name without having been given the information.By the same artifice the second figure was proved to be of wood, but upon stinging the third, there was an immediate response.By stinging each of the twelve assembled princes in turn the insect thus discovered each one's name, for the princes called each other by name in discussing the cause of the mysterious bites.When told to adore the king, Hunahpu and Xbalanque laughed, for they knew that the figure pointed out to them was the lifeless manikin.When invited by the Xibalbians to seat themselves upon a great stone bench, Hunahpu and Xbalanque declined to do so, declaring that they well knew the stone to be heated so that they would he burned to death if they sat upon it.The second trial was given in the House of Shadows, where to each of the candidates was brought a pine torch and a cigar, with the injunction that both must be kept alight throughout the entire night and yet each must be returned the next morning unconsumed.Unable to pass the guards, the two young men secured the assistance of the ants.When Hunahpu and Xbalanque presented the flowers to the twelve princes, the latter, in amazement, recognized the blossoms as having been filched from their own private gardens.The princes of Xibalba considered the chill of the icy cavern to be unbearable and it is described as "the abode of the frozen winds of the North."Even greater than before was the amazement of the princes of Xibalba when Hunahpu and Xbalanque again entered the Hall of Assembly in the custody of their guardians.The fifth ordeal was also of a nocturnal nature.Hunahpu and Xbalanque were ushered into a great chamber which was immediately filled with ferocious tigers.Here they were forced to remain throughout the night.The young men tossed bones to the tigers, which they ground to pieces with their strong jaws.Midewiwin, or Grand Medicine Society, of the Ojibwas.Concerning these rolls, Colonel Carrick Mallery writes: "To persons acquainted with secret societies, a good comparison for the Midewiwin charts would be what is called a trestleboard of a Masonic order, which is printed and published and publicly exposed without exhibiting any secrets of the order; yet it is net only significant, but useful to the esoteric in assistance to their memory as to the details of ceremony."Hoffman in the Seventh Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology.The greater power attained by one in making advancement depends upon the fact of his having submitted to 'being shot at with the medicine sacks' in the hands of the officiating priests.Such records or charts are sacred and are never exposed to the public view."The two rectangular diagrams represent two degrees of the Mide lodge and the straight line through the center the spiritual path, or "straight and narrow way," running through the degrees.It is an association of men who profess the highest knowledge known to the tribes."According to legend, Manabozho, the great Rabbit, who was a servant of Dzhe Manido, the Good Spirit, gazing down upon the progenitors of the Ojibwas and perceiving them to be without spiritual knowledge, instructed an otter in the mysteries of Midewiwin.Hoffman's article) a knowledge of directionalizing the forces moving through the vital centers of the human body.Though the cross is an important symbol in the Midewiwin rites, it is noteworthy that the Mide Priests steadfastly refused to give up their religion and be converted to Christianity.Then the princes of Xibalba prepared for the two brothers a new ordeal.Hunahpu and Xbalanque entered a large apartment arranged like a furnace.But at sunrise when the doors of the furnace were opened, Hunahpu and Xbalanque came forth unscorched by the fury of the flames.The seventh ordeal took place in the House of the Bats.Here also dwelt Camazotz, the God of Bats, a hideous monster with the body of a man and the wings and head of a bat.After Hunahpu and Xbalanque had slain the dog of the princes and restored it to life, had burned the royal palace and instantly rebuilt it, and given other demonstrations of their magical powers, the monarch of the Xibalbians asked the magicians to destroy him and restore him also to life.These heroes later ascended to heaven, where they became the celestial lights.Tree of Knowledge, find its simile in the calabash tree, in the middle of the road where those of Xibalba placed the head of Hunhun Ahpu, after sacrificing him for having failed to support the first trial of the initiation?These were the awful ordeals that the candidates for initiation into the sacred mysteries had to pass through in Xibalba.Do they not seem an exact counterpart of what happened in a milder form at the initiation into the Eleusinian mysteries?Egypt, from which these were copied?Does not the recital of what the candidates to the mysteries in Xibalba were required to know, before being admitted, * * * recall to mind the wonderful similar feats said to be performed by the Mahatmas, the Brothers in India, and of several of the passages of the book of Daniel, who had been initiated to the mysteries of the Chaldeans or Magi which, according to Eubulus, were divided into three classes or genera, the highest being the most learned?"See Sacred Mysteries among the Mayas and the Quiches."Aries, crossing the river of mud.Taurus, crossing the river of blood.Leo, the House of Spears.Virgo, the House of Cold (the usual trip to Hell).Libra, the House of Tigers (feline poise).It would seem more appropriate to assign the river of blood to Aries and that of mud to Taurus, and it is not at all improbable that in the ancient form of the legend the order of the rivers was reversed.To the initiated, however, it is evident that Atlantis is simply a symbolic figure in which is set forth the mystery of origins.Concerned primarily with the problems of mystical anatomy, Mr.Pryse relates the various symbols described in the Popol Vuh to the occult centers of consciousness in the human body.Pryse did not translate that portion of the Popol Vuh dealing directly with the initiatory ceremonial.Xibalba he considers to be the shadowy or etheric sphere which, according to the Mystery teachings, was located within the body of the planet itself.Gucumatz (or Quetzalcoatl) partakes of many of the attributes of King Solomon: the account of the temple building in the Popol Vuh is a reminder of the story of Solomon's Temple, and undoubtedly has a similar significance.Brasseur de Bourbourg was first attracted to the study of religious parallelisms in the Popol Vuh by the fact that the temple together with the black stone which it contained, was named the Caabaha, a name astonishingly similar to that of the Temple, or Caaba, which contains the sacred black stone of Islam.The sabarcan is also an appropriate emblem of the spinal cord and the power resident within its tiny central opening.One of the carved monoliths of Central America is adorned with the heads of two elephants with their drivers.Because their glory was fatal to mortal vision, the gods, when appearing to the initiated priests, robed themselves in these mantles, Allegory and fable likewise are the mantles with which the secret doctrine is ever enveloped.The massive pyramids, temples, and monoliths of Central America may be likened also to the feet of gods, whose upper parts are enshrouded in magic mantles of invisibility. |
