Ancient Wisdom,

Future Vision

As I wrote in my introduction, I was inspired by the Thirteen Grandmothers. They were not my masters but I joined them in their ceremonies at some places in the world to activate my memory to remember where I came from and to start my inner research which will never stop.

By applying their ancient, indigenous ways of seeing and being to all the major issues of today, the Grandmothers hope to change the direction of the world and ensure eventual peace and prosperity for all the following generations.
Spiritual leaders-shamans, medicine women, and channellers of sacred Change the direction of the world and ensure eventual peace and prosperity for all the following generations energy-address the essential elements for creating a healthy future; how to heal families; how to end war; improving relationships between men and women; integrating traditional and indigenous medicine; maintaining the Earth’s balance, and bringing forth the collective power of wise women by deepening our relationship with our feminine side.

Through sharing their visions, prophecies, and ancient healing and nurturing ways, the Grandmothers hope to inspire others to more consciously partake in the unfolding of Creation. As carriers of their tribes’ traditions, all these women elders are powerful; they are fierce in the best sense. Their myths and stories, their ways of explaining archetypes reveal multiple windows into the heart and psyche.

Another ancient Hopi prophecy, shared by many tribes, tells of the beginning of the world, when the Creator created four races of four colours, each assigned a task that together would ensure a world where all life was held in one sacred circle.

The native peoples, the red people, were entrusted with the guardianship of the Earth, the teachings of the plants, foods, and healing herbs.
The yellow race carried the knowledge of the sky, wind and breath.
The black people were given knowledge of the water, the most adaptive and yet most powerful of the elements, the knowledge of the depths of human emotion.
The white people were given the knowledge of fire, which creates, consumes, and moves.

Breath, blood, and bones - at the most basic level - not much distinguishes us one from the other. We all meet in the same place, the Grandmothers remind us. The Hopi prophecy states that not until all four races of humanity come together will there be true peace.
Until now, the red race, the native peoples with their Earth-based wisdom, have been excluded from the world’s discourse. The Grandmothers helped to fulfil the Hopi prophecy, as all four races, with The Grandmothers helped to fulfil the Hopi prophecy, as all four races, with unique teachings, came together for the first time in all of history to find a way to create a better world unique teachings, came together for the first time in all of history to find a way to create a better world. They met with Western women elders, from all walks of life, hoping to reconnect with the principles that allowed the planet to flourish for many thousands of years. They all came to the land of the Iroquois, a land of pristine rivers and ancient mountains, from many different countries but with one heart. The sacred fire was to burn for seven days.

As the Grandmothers approached the fire with their offerings, some were silent as they prayed, some sang, some walked slowly around the fire circle, pausing at the four directions. When Agnes Baker Pilgrim, the oldest living member of her tribe, the Takelma Indians, a band along the Rogue River in southern Oregon (and as the oldest Grandmother, the chosen spokes-person), circled the fire, the wind suddenly came up and swirled around the Grandmothers. Not one leaf on the surrounding trees even slightly stirred. “The Grandmothers from the other side are there,” Grandmother Agnes said, not at all surprised but deeply humbled. “They give their blessings”
