Native American Occult.

If The Occult- Witches, Warlocks, Witchcraft, Wicca, Sorcery and Paganism beliefs do not belong in Traditional Eastern Woodland Native American gatherings, how did they get their?

The Irish, Scottish, and Wales people came to Indian country they brought their religions with them.

The Irish Scotland and Welch are not Native Americans.

The Vikings came to Indian Country from the east and landed on the northeastern shores.

These people brought their knowledge and beliefs along with them.

They are not Native Americans.

Viking beliefs and myths.

The Scandinavian beliefs developed out of the original common mythology of the Germanic peoples which originated in, and developed from, India and the Vedas, Brahminism known as Keralaiyers. 
Brahmanism is about sacrificing to many gods.

The Mayans, Incas and Aztecs all came from Mexico they are natives however, none of them settled into the Eastern Woodland area.

The Mayans were found in southern Mexico and northern Central America.

Mayan religion worship  the gods of sun, rain and corn with rituals of human sacrifice.

The Incas spread through what is now Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile.

The Inca worshipped the dead. 
They practiced daily human offering and sacrifices.

The Aztec religion was dominated by human sacrifice.

Native Americans believe in Creator and all of the creations 

without sacrificing anything.

Native American's Take back our Ancestors.

Where are the Shawnee people? Cahokia is said to be their ancestors.

Where are all of those rich Casino Indians?

Still plowing over our past one village at a time.

The Europeans are about to build a bridge by plowing over the first indigenous village in Indian country.

It would seem that the only people trying to lessen the blow are non native archeologists?

First came the St. Louis Stockyards, then came a meatpacking plant, now they will completely destroy the land with highway 70.

(Friendship Pipe or Peace Pipe)?

 Walkingfox great, great grandfather's friendship pipe awakened by his grandfather.

Peace Pipe (Friendship Pipe)?

An Eastern Woodland American Native Pipe.

We do not make the stone pipe used out west, nothing wrong with that pipe it is just that our ancestors had no contact with their Calumet (Pipestone).

Besides have you ever tried to make anything out of a New England rock?

Give it a try without modern tools.

There is no proof that any Eastern Woodland Native American person ever traveled to Pipe Stone.

Remember, for most of their existence they did not even have horses and water goes north and south not west.

That is until recently with train, plane and automobiles.

So it begs to differ as to why so many so called natives in New England, or anyone east of the Mississippi river would carry and swear by a Catlinite Peace Pipes?

Makes you wonder just who are the real Native Americans throughout this area?

We have Friendship and Sacred pipes!

(Traditional Eastern Woodland American Native Way).

While it may still be true after everything that has happen to the Red Man in our past by Europeans and Hollywood, some of the western tribes might still make a Peace pipe.

We do not!

We do however make a friendship pipe; we also make our own type of sacred pipe.

How to make a Native American pipe?

Native Americans, at least in the east coast, make friendship pipes.

The first of our pipes were made from plant life.

The Cat o nine tails like the dandelion is not only good food and medicine the ancestors knew of many uses for the stems also.

This plant however, is protected in many areas, because while in the wild it also helps control the water ways.

A Tribal Clan Mother can pick this plant and use it from roots to flower.

The flower can be cooked with the three sisters, the roots are used with Kinnick~ Kinnick and for medicine.

The stems were user for some of the crafts and our Friendship pipes.

Native Americans in the east were making friendship pipes for their ceremony's long before first contact (the time when Europeans first showed up on our shores).

Squash plants stem corn cob friendship pipe were also used to make pipes.

The Squash plant and the Corn cob must be completely dry, the use of a porcupine needle to clean out the stem, a sharp stone or bone will clean out the cob however, one would now use a modern tool of the trade.

Anyone in the tribe can make these pipes however, before they could be used in sacred ceremonies it had to be properly awakened by a Spiritual leader.

The pipe is awakened by this leader by correctly presenting it to Creator for permission and a blessing.

Calumet (Pipestone) peace pipes are Plains Indian pipes!

INDIAN CALUMET: The Pipe of Peace

We have been to Pipestone.

Pipestone National Monument.

However, as an Eastern Woodland American Native, I never touched the stone until after leaving, (when gifted).

How did Native Americans clean their pipes?

If this is at an Eastern Woodland American Native Ceremonial pipe, the pipe is never cleaned as a European would clean a pipe, a pipe keeper will either take the pipe out or pass it to a trusted student of the pipe, to Mother Earth and by way of our sacred ceremony, give the tobacco (Kinnick~ Kinnick) back to her, Mother Earth.

Evil spirits Coyote, Trickster and Powwows.

Once again not all spirits are evil!

Some spirits are wandering around looking for help on ways to the path home to our ancestors, these spirits were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they will never hurt you.

Please seek ways to help these spirits find and travel on the journey back to Creator with our ancestors.

This is a follow up on my April 25th blog article on Evil spirits Coyote, Trickster and Powwow spirits.

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/coyote-powwow-and-trickster.html

In today's thinking a powwow is a place for Native Americans to invite everyone to come, enjoy a day a weekend or a week in fun and games.

However, Native Americans, at least, throughout the New England area, were handed down from elder to elder, from a time just after first contact, the knowledge about the real Powwow, an evil spirit sent to the people by the Trickster/Coyote, non natives call the devil.

The Evil spirit Trickster and his sub spirits will do anything that a person allows them to do to take prayers from them ( the people ) to Creator.

Because of the abuse, sometime with death, from non natives looking for a way into our Paw~paus, natives changed the name to powwow, then allowed everyone in to this non sacred ceremony.

A little more in-put.

What is Kinnick~Kinnick?

Kinnick~Kinnick are Native American particular herbs, collected by tribal clan mothers around that tribe, to be used in future sacred ceremonies of American Native people.

A Native person may sell these herbs, as long as that person makes it perfectly clear to the buyer, that it has not been blessed by Creator and would not be considered sacred!

Remember, only Creator can bless anything!

If someone claims to have blessed your herbs, give them back for an exchange, they have been polluted!

Once this herb Kinnick~Kinnick has gone through the ceremony and is sacred, if passed to another, it must be, by given freely!

Sage and Sweet grass could be used with Kinnick~Kinnick as long as they follow the above statement.

Please remember, there is nothing sacred about any chemical, they are all poison so, what you would be saying if gifting tobacco to this person is, I poison you!

My ancestors were simple common sense people.

Their tobacco was grown without chemicals, the ancestors did not need them!

Today our elders know that cigarettes cause cancer, even if they smoke, someone that they know and love has died a horrible death from this cancer.

Please do not insult them by an offering of a cancer causing cigarette.

Will you please use Kinnick~ Kinnick (herbs)?
