DREAMING THE COUNCIL WAYS: True Native Teachings From The Red Lodge

In Dreaming the Council Ways, Ohky Simine Forest integrates diverse matriarchal native teachings -- from Mohawk, Iroquois, and other Canadian Indian traditions, as well as Mongolian and Maya shamanic ways -- to create a modern, healing synthesis of the spiritual practices common to these disparate cultures. She invites us all to grasp the true universality of these symbols and traditions and to explore anew the ancient knowledge.With profound insight and clarity, Ohky helps us rediscover the soil of the sacred Earth, where all races can live together, and emerge with a way of life that respects the planet. She leads us on an inner journey into the Red Lodge, which has been long-misunderstood by the Western world. She initiates us into the Underworld of power animal teachings, dreaming practices, native healing ways, and the shaman's tree of life, so we can learn the difference between real shamanism and the practices so often taught today. She explains the matriarchal path, and speaks of men and women coming together again, to live in harmony as they did in the past, with respect and care for each other. Dreaming the Council Ways is a deep call to hear the Earth awakening in each of us, as foretold by ancient prophecies. These prophecies, some exposed here for the first time, speak of the Medicine Wheel Way as an important, alternative way to recreate our world and to learn respect for the Great Earth.With more than fifteen years' experience as an initiate in various shamanic practices, Ohky offers this manifestation of the ancient Council ways as a self-governing life path leading toward understanding and collective healing. Dreaming the Council Ways is a warm invitation for usto restore our soul and spirit so we can learn how to live and dream together as a family of humans.
