People are still showing up to
my old discontinued website
Mohican/Pequot/Mohegan first
Village.
On the Uncasvillage index page.
The majority are looking for
information about the Native American way of
Circle or Smudging
Even though I no longer use the
site and tripod refuses to take it down for me, it has good information and
another way for you to find what you may be looking for.
But, if you still have questions feel free to
ask.
It's pretty simple if you think
about it, Creator has created everything in a circle so it should be no surprise
to learn that Creators people do everything with circles.
As for smudging, people have
written about this with many words in many ways for many years.
Smudging, no matter how you do
it or what you are using to do it, it is just another way of getting yourself
into a mindset for prayer with Creator, that simple.
Many of our people smudge
something while walking in a circle around it, this may be a way of covering
both smudging and circle and is OK, as long as you also remember that the
reason for doing this is for a nice quiet time talk with Creator, or whatever
you wish to call your Supreme Being!
The only sticky point old traditional
native people have with the circles is that after the late 70's early 80's
outsiders to our area have changed almost everything concerning our circles!
