“The only important things in life are the traces of love we leave behind”
- Fairy Oracle by Sulamith Wulfing
January/February, 2012
I call to you, Grandmother Spider- so, I hear my tinny voice….
Entwined- among the children of earth, you play~
Grandmother! Teach us of weaving, of endless ebb & flow. With your woven Web, you brought us the humans, the first picture of the alphabet. The letters were part of the angles of your web- your sacred language.
By the ‘Medicine of Animals’ sacred oracle teachings this is the story: “Dear asked Spider what she was weaving and why all the lines looked like symbols. Spider replied, “Why Deer, it is time for earth children to learn to make records of their progress in their Earth Walk.” Deer answered Spider, “But they already have pictures that show through symbols the stories of their experiences.” “Yes” said Spider, “But Earth’s children are growing more complex, and their future generations will need to know more. The ones to come won’t remember how to read the petroglyphs. “
So it was that Spider wove the first primordial alphabet, as she had woven the dream of the world that had become manifest. Spider’s body is made like number eight, and also has eight legs. Spider is the symbol for the infinite possibilities of creation. A Cosmic wide web of communications! Her eight legs represent the four winds of change and the four directions on the medicine wheel. Spider is the feminine energy of creative force that weaves the beautiful designs of life. Her web has hundreds of intricate patterns which catch the morning dew. The most important message from Spider is that you are an infinite being who will continue to weave the patterns of life while living throughout time. Do not fail to see the expansiveness of the eternal plan.
O Grandmother see me- how I spin red and yellow, white and black- Grandmother Rainbow! Guide us how to see through the illusions of everyday life that cloud the mind- to see clearly from the heart, the love that binds as all. All living life manifested itself as a Devine Play!

The ‘Love Wind’ may swirl from any direction on the medicine wheel (emotional or physical side, the one of the mind or come from the Heart). Embodying the four medicine colours in dance & prayer; I see a Horse within its Web- may it help as on our ‘Inner Travels’~
The Love on the Wind may come in infinite forms- speaking trough Dance, Art, Music, Tea, walk, work, heart of stone……
With loving intentions I would like us to come together and say our hopes and blessings to the ever spinning Spiralling Sacred Fire.
“Beauty before me. Beauty behind me. Beauty on my left. Beauty on my right. Beauty above me. Beauty below me. Beauty is Love. Love is Creation!” – Cradle Flower, Taos Pueblo.
The year of 2012 is slowly beginning to unfold- may we embrace these transformative hours with ease and creative thought. My invitation is to anchor the new cycle of rebirth- may our energy/wind of all doings find its ascending light working and collectively sustaining thought. May the days unfold truly with the Sun, while consciously we manifest our destiny from within our own hands of doing! May we Dream with the Heart, and Walk the Way of the Living Light. We are the artists of all colours, we bring forth the vision and build rainbow bridges; may there be support – for the labour is much too great, for our continuing celebration of Earth, humanity and all Relations~~
At this Whirling Wisdom doorway I would like to speak forth Mary’s poem that was written to honour the ‘sacred journey’ & kiva ceremony that happened at Hovenweep, Chaco Canyon, the sacred land of the Anisazi, Colorado’; which was published at the “Serpent of Light” beyond 2012 by Drunvalo Melchizedek:
THE WEAVING
We stand here, surrounded by the sacred mountains, at the sanapu, where our world began. We come from the four corners of this earth, walking in love, bringing our knowledge of many cultures, many languages. Seeking understanding, growth and change, for ourselves, our nations, or world.
This is our intention! Here at this time we create a new world, we weave a new reality!
We pray for assistance and request witness, from the sacred energies of our world!
*AIR- Winds of the four directions, winds that move the stars
*WATER- Rain, rivers, springs
*FIRE- Our sun, lightning that dances in the sky
*EARTH- Our mothers, her sand, her cliffs, her mountains
*OUR BROTHERS- The four legged, the winged ones, water children and those that creep and crawl
*OUR OWN HUMAN RACE- From our ancestors who first walked this land, to our children’s children, seven generations distend, most of all we call upon
*OUR SELFS here and now, to witness and strive.
We are here to create a weaving of a new reality.
In any weaving, beauty is created by the wrap, weft, and the pattern.
We bring: For the foundations, the wrap tread,
Human energy, the experience of diverse cultures.
Strength and pride from our societies, our families,
History, our struggle to manifest our own path.
These are braided together and string on our loom to form the wrap, the shape of our weaving.
Onto this we weave the weft on our daily journey, the tread of beauty, spun, one moment at a time, with each step of integrity, as our actions span time into history.
And the pattern?
The pattern that will call the rest of the human race into understanding, changing?
This pattern is formed by our teachers and by our intention.
We set our intention to manifest a world where every spirit, human, animal, plant and mineral, walks in harmony and balance, health, and joy.
We ask our teachers to guide us to actions that flow into this intention.
We seek to manifest that divinity within ourselves that will create this new reality.
This is our time.
We are called.
Together we will weave a new world.”
- HO!
May the truth in these words & prayer gently spiral its way into the eternal flame!
