There is another old saying, "One should never
open mouth, or in my case write, before you put your brain in gear"!
I wrote a posting a few days ago in response to an
Email I receiver from an Indian? "Native Religion Eagle Feather
Teachings"!
Eagle feather teachings
That letter just once again proves that even a
Spiritual Elder can and will stumble an fall now and again, because I did get a
little too angry and wrote my answer before praying about it. Being right is
never enough. Being in control of your writing is. So I apologized to Creator
and now to my friends on Word press. I clicked Delete on the Emails and do not
plan on answering by Email however, I am writing.
As a lover of all Creation I just will never
understand some things?
Now to the subject at hand.
Many letters from many Indians followed to explain to
me, in their own way, the need of Eagle Feathers in their Sacred Ceremonies.
I have never and will never get into another person's
believe unless to ask or answer a question, I have enough to do with ceremonies
of my people.
The Eagle in most tribes is the messenger to and from
Creator, therefore most tribes consider it the most important bird of prey of
all.
My question is and I am only asking, " If the
Eagle is so revered and because of this, it is needed for your Sacred Ceremony,
why do you kill it"?
If your Supreme Being is telling you that you must
have a Bird of Prey (Eagle) or you cannot hold your Sacred Ceremony, shouldn't
you be trusting your Supreme Being to provide you with the necessary parts to
your Bird of Prey (Eagle)?
If one goes into battle and comes out a victory, do we
thank our Creator by killing the messenger of our request to our Creator so
that we can hold a sacred ceremony to thank are Creator for the blessing?
Do we need to have the most Eagle Feathers on our
Regalia at gatherings to show everyone just why we are better than them?
Look at me, how great I am, I can kill an Eagle
without being killed, so now I can wear it's body parts on my body parts!
Sorry you all, I am still confused?
