Autumnal Equinox, September 22, 2018

Greetings Kin,
A fire will be Kin-dled. Bring your emptiness and fullness of the season in quietness and peacefulness into the reception chamber of all matter to observe and sit together, with the season.

Offer what you have or what spirit suggests … these breath offerings are designed to feed and nourish all sentient and insentient beings, including ourselves, through intent. It is through these things, thoughts, and actions we come to more deeply know ourselves and nourish the intent of this unified ‘knowing’ of ourselves within the structure of the Medicine Wheel Teachings.

Like minded community furthers each person’s opportunity to both see clearly and to be seen clearly, a deeply held blessing of knowingness that can further happiness and calm and to develop a growing sense of compassionate detachment and loving kindness in the context of the seasons and the natural world ... these first, most beautiful and lasting gifts from the Creator, are for us and all beings to live upon and within, all days, all ways, in balance and harmony. AHO!

Prepare to enter three circles of spirit energy, beginning now, as you approach the ceremonial grounds, from your personal central tree of integrity. We are the new myth makers, done from where we sit, stand or lay, be we a physical part of this circle or not. Let us be increasingly alert and aware of the emerging myths ... stories. Their times to be told come near with the winter quiet. The new creation stories ... they arise from out of the seeds of this harvest season, lying dormant for the blessing of their telling, remembering and telling of the fires that will make them ready for the new growth. This is one of the medicines of this season that make us ready for winter sun and winter rest ... as does our mother, the earth (sekmekwe) and our father the sky sun (kisus).

Through these ways we reconnect with the original instructions and link them where desirable and recognized, with the current stories and emerging myths/medicines by which we can know ourselves and live … feeling like we have a right to be here and to live. These ceremonies then assume a grounding and a radiance that can and does contribute to the continuance of all life, just by virtue of ours and others positive beingness. These then, are some of the sacred charges and as such, belong with the original instructions. Without them we are wanderers ... and to these ones, we would extend a helping hand of in-spirit … inspiration to those who would be seeking or in need, through vibration or physical service.

Bama mine, until we see one another again,
Wabaksekwe (Dawn Woman)
