The Dissemination of Divine Wisdom

Minisa (men ‘ee sa) is a my closest living Kin. She shared the Truth of a Living Earth with Words that held their weight. She is also one of a handful of the indigenous Elders who holds the Wisdom of the Potawatomi language.

She has been called to share the wisdom, creation stories and sacred traditions passed down by her Grandfathers and Grandmothers.

An accomplished artist, author, and videographer in her own right, Minisa is the daughter of renowned artist Woody Crumbo.

The latest entries on Dawn Woman’s blog shares her father’s artwork and inspiration of the Eagle Dancer.

Another article is one of my favorite teachings about this Time of year:

“Three Little Winters of Spring – an earth wisdom story …”  (originally published 04/04/2020).

“Summer Star Knowledge” – A subject she shared with the Potawatomi community, focuses on traditional Anishnobé star knowledge, published by and presented at the CPN Cultural Heritage Center in April 2024.

The Article is the second in a series republished on Dawn Woman’s Blog.

Our relationship began in 2002 when Minisa invited me to participate in the Sun/Moon Dance she held on the land at Spirit Horse Ranch.

We’ve taken a few road trips together. In 2009 we traveled to our first formal teaching on the Mayan calendar in San Diego. Minisa inspired my pilgrimage in 2018, and held the energy of her prayers on the land at the center in support for my journey from Seattle to the destination of the Sacred Ceremony for Ian Lungold at the ruins of Ek’ Balam. Every path of spirit leads to the Great Spirit, the Lord of all Creation.

Migwech, Minisa, for sharing your friendship, your wisdom and the Light of your Spirit.

Music by Minisa’s son, Woody Carter, in memory of his Grandfather.

THE TRECENA OF WIND/IK: TRUTH OF THE CREATOR’S WORD

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.

1 WIND/IK is found in the 4th Season – VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)

1 Wind/IK (Cherokee, Whirlwind/AGALU’GA) – Day 1 of 13 of the 1 Wind/IK trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.

Wind/IK: Breath of Spirit, breath of life. Winds embody the power of dissemination and planting of good seeds or ideas. Dreamers and planners with powerful imaginations, Wind persons make great orators and they spread the word of spiritual inspiration as it is carried by the wind. Wind is the power behind the movement of natural cycles such as weather, erosion, and cultural change. As the wind, these persons are extremely changeable and adaptable. They may appear inconsistent or fickle to others. Wind can be destructive to self and others by putting on airs. When Winds strut and boast, expanding on facts and accomplishments, they are building the dark clouds of trouble that may become hurricanes.

A GOOD DAY TO: Send Communications of all kinds. 

Cherokee, Whirlwind/AGALU’GA: Whirlwind’s symbol is a double spiral helix in rising smoke. Wind brings energy for an Inquiring mind, learning and wisdom. In Cherokee, the constellations are represented by 12 birds (dancers), the 13th bird is the Whirlwind, the lead dancer. This reflects the whirling of life. Wind is the breath of the Universe, the channel of communication that carries the Sacred Smoke to the Great Spirit.
