Petroglyphs at Peterborough
In Ontario, there is a sacred site called ‘Kinomagewapkong’, ‘the rock’s that teach’.
The phenomena of eerie noises are to be heard from the rock in springtime, caused by the naturally occurring holes in the rocks. The natives felt this noise was the underworld whispering to them.
There are some 900 images carved into a huge outcrop of crystalline white limestone.
They date back to the Algonquain people, somewhere between 900-1400 AD Many of the figures have a radiant halo or Aura (ENERGY FIELD) crowning the heads. Many of the figures are of animals. Many of the Images of people also have stars emanating from their heads! Animal spirits and guides were a very important part of the cultural and belief system.
I had the ‘Honour’ (and yes it was!) of talking to a Native American Shaman named ‘Light Wolf’. He explained in depth about ‘animals that visit our dreams’, and the omens and visions that they are said to bring. He also said much about clouds and natural omens.
So had any animistic dreams lately? If so read on and find out what the Native Americans would have told you about them!
Clouds are prophetic in ancient beliefs.
WHITE CLOUDS-good fortune
SILVER CLOUDS-good luck, particularly after difficulties.
GOLDEN CLOUDS-peace and, harmony.
BLACK, OR GREY CLOUDS-an omen of ill health.
YELLOW CLOUDS-an emotionally draining period, to come.
RED CLOUDS-look before you leap, beware.
Where do you think the phrase,’ Every Cloud has a silver lining’ originates from?
The Native Americans, in common with the Aborigines of Australia would use ‘relaxing’ substances to induce “ THE DREAM TIME”, with the hope of gaining incite and prophecies, foretelling the future for, them selves and the world around. Some fascinating tales and beliefs exist within the culture of the Native Americans. Why not chase your own ‘tail’, and find one that captures you! There are easier (and healthier) ways of getting in the correct state to explore your psychic ability, you don’t have to get drunk…try a meditation instead.
