Well May is almost gone, and June brings Hamblec'a. These are prayer ties. We use each of the seven sacred colors and cut out little patches of cloth. Inside the cloth is a small amount of tobacco. The patches are tied shut with the tobacco inside them, and we make a string of 100 of each color. These are used to protect me while I sit on the hill and pray for 4 days. No food or drink during that time. Very intense, very solom.
My friend Roberto Codato will be here on June 8th, and we will immediatly leave for Porcupine South Dakota. There we will be doing an Inipi Ceremony every day for four days, and then I will go on that hill. Funny thing. It's my 45th birthday on the day I go up on that hill. June 12th. Roberto will be my fire keeper during that time. The fire must stay lit for the entire four days, and he'll keep me good in that respect.
I'll try and send a posting to CRC whilst I am up at South Dakota, but you'll not hear from me while I am on the hill. There it is just me, and The Creator, Tunkas'ila.
Mitakuye Oyasin!
