Pipe Ceremony?
Once again while going
through my Visitor Tracker, I find that some 75% of the visitors are still
asking about our Pipe ceremony, so a little updating may be necessary?
Our pipe?
As with many of our
ceremonies, the pipe is a ceremony based on prayer too, and blessing from
Creator.
Tribes around Mother
Earth go about this basically the same way while using material found around
their own area. Reasonable because of travel restrictions!
The central and western
parts of Indian country use a type of stone found around their area.
The East coast, my
people used a few things however, the easiest was wood because at that time
trees were everywhere.
Anyone can make and use
a pipe however, and this must be repeated, HOWEVER, only a pipe built, offered
to Creator, excepted in the ceremony and blessed by Creator can be used in our
ceremonies!
Our Native American
pipe ceremony
6/10/11 Native American
pipe ceremony, Traditional
My fathers, fathers,
father, a war chief, receiver a pipe from his father.
The spiritual leader
took this pipe to Creator in our ceremony and it has been past down since as
our friendship pipe.
Back then after
defeating your enemy you as the War Chief receive a pipe. After this ceremony
you must seek out your defeated enemy and smoke the pipe of friendship!
After this Friendship
ceremony you become brothers!
