This is so beautiful. Thanks for this. In native circles, women arent to be in ceremony during the moon time unless it is a ceremony for mooning women. They believe the energy is too much for men and that the power would confuse them. Mooning women are to rest and dream for the community. They are served their food right after the elders and treated with honor.
Wow, They remember the true ways huh?!
Indeed. I was blessed to be a part of that beautiful circle.
Oh, that must have been so exciting! Where were you staying with native Americans if I may ask?
You can certainly ask. Most of my teachings came from a white woman who was taught by several Native people the old ways of ceremony. I was also taught by a number of native people and stayed with some for periods of time, though I never lived there, and it wasn't reservation land. It was just his farm. We also had some Navajo come to us to do Native American Church ceremony.
Oh, that sounds exciting!
Definitely a beautiful time in my life!
