The Culture that has been here all the time

Hello Friends,

The original people (first immigrants, if you prefer) who settled in North America had some interesting spiritual views, and one, in particular, I found profound: how honesty was established among the people. The version I like best is Honesty, which arrived or was introduced and monitored by Kitch-Sabe, a now-extinct giant.¹ I have been converted to the spiritual beliefs of many people in North America because of very disappointing results with the religion I grew up with.

Seven sacred teachings, gifted by the grandfather spirits, are in one reference. At this time in my social Isolation, I am in communion with the Grandfather Spirits: I speak to them, and I am learning how to read the messages given to me by nature. Perhaps one day, I will meet an elder from a tribe who can be my mentor and teacher. I believe I have already successfully interpreted some signs, but I am a very long way from claiming I am a Shaman.

I have striven to be honest all my life, and there are costs for this, but the stories for this are for another time.
