> 2013 ORACLE WHITE BUFFALO CALF DIVINATION
>
> Thunder Beings speak with a loud voice. We received the news of the
> death of the White Buffalo calf "Miracle's Second Chance" caused by a
> lightening strike. This event happened November 26, 2006 on the
> Heider farm south of Janesville, WI. The Heider farm was birthplace to
> a female White Buffalo, Miracle, in 1994. Along with thousands of
> others, we felt a spiritual kinship with this Buffalo clan. Since the
> autumn equinox, there have been strange lights in the sky here in New
> Mexico. We've seen them ourselves. We knew we had to delve deeper to
> uncover the divinatory meaning of this extraordinary sacrifice of the
> white buffalo calf.
>
> We choose to do a reading with the 2013 Oracle, recently published by
> Council Oak Books. This is a divination system based on knowledge
> left by the ancient mound and temple building cultures of the Americas
> who predicted a time of vast planetary change. We see this transition
> before us and the signs have begun to appear. The Oracle offers
> guidance for our times and is uniquely fitted for the task of divining
> the meaning of the electrocution and death of this sacred animal.
>
> First, the reader should have the following background information. In
> August 1994, Kam Nightchase Lau, a Lakota medicine man, writers David
> Cason and Nina Sammons and their children, and artist Gigi Borri
> traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana. Nightchase and Carson had been
> invited to lead the chiefs of the Mardi Gras Indian tribes in a pipe
> ceremony at Louis Armstong Park. For the first time in history the
> chiefs met each other in circle, in full regalia, to smoke an ancient
> Choctaw pipe. The ceremony took place on August 20th, 1994 which
> coincided with the prophetic birth of Miracle. By an official
> proclamation from the mayor's office, the city of New Orleans
> proclaimed the date " White Buffalo Day," an annual celebration with
> a spiritual gathering at the park by people of all traditions.
>
> Most recently, we have been deeply saddened by the loss of Big Chief
> Allison "Tootie" Montana of the Yellow Pocahontas and the devastation
> of the beloved city by flood waters. We salute Tootie and all the
> Mardi Gras Indians and their traditions.
>
> We asked 2013 Oracle to answer the question, "What is the meaning of
> the White Buffalo calf's death by lightening?"
>
> We choose at random the following nine cards to place upon the Mayan
> numbers one through nine on the cenote cloth. Cenote is a great black
> bowl containing the void. This cloth denotes a cosmic mirror of the
> night and day sky. It is a template which delineates the influence of
> the cosmos upon everyday life.

> The old world is finished. The ancestors sent a sign through the
> lightening strike. The execution of the white buffalo calf, the most
> potent representation for peace in Native America, heralds great
> change. It suggests eminent and radical transformation. We have
> entered a world of paradox and contrary reality.
>
> Celestial Toad offers guidance and protection in these unfamiliar
> realms. Toad is always honored in ceremony following a death by
> lightening. Celestial Toad carries the lightening of the feathered
> flint knives-the spirit knives from above. Reconfigure your life by
> cutting away excess. You, too, must make sacrifices. Build an altar
> to join earth and sky. Do ceremony with your community to recognize
> this passing of the White Buffalo.
>
> White Buffalo gave his life so we could see the sacred in all of
> creation. Now is the time to trust your spirit and trust the earth
> that sustains you. Sacred Precinct teaches that the ground under your
> feet is related to the totality of all of life. Spirit and matter can
> be united within Sacred Precinct.
>
> Grasshopper tells us to respect all of life. Protect the earth and
> use technology in a more conscious manner. Ceremony and dance deepens
> connection to the cosmos. Make decisions related to the changes
> heralded by the sudden death of the white buffalo calf not from logic,
> but from your deepest inner knowing-from your true spiritual light.
>
> White Buffalo made the greatest sacrifice. The time has come to give.
> Offer your gifts and talents to be of service. Put the challenges of
> planetary transformation to the Hand Wheel. Duality is complementary
> and not oppositional. Much can be achieved through the work of the
> heart and hand. Seek the light within, and share that light.
>
> Do not feed dark forces with more dark thoughts. Each moment of this
> transitional period becomes a turning point. We carry the cosmos and
> the future within us and it is for us to find harmony and peace.
> Ultimately, we make the choice. Scorpion instructs one to judge not.
> Pay attention to your own spiritual work and don't judge another's
> choice. White Buffalo honors the traditions of our elders and
> ancestors. We can hold our ideals high and be fearless in sharing our
> knowledge. When something works, it's related to everything else that
> works. Replace judgment with prayer, and meet those who judge in a
> manner filled with spirit.
>
> White Buffalo walked an exemplary road, and now he walks the starry
> trails of the Milky Way leading through the Cosmic Tree. Bee follows
> an apprenticeship path, passing through realms of beauty and spiritual
> sweetness. Bee knows the way without following a leader or signs
> marked," Pollen ahead." You can learn this way of bee-ing as you
> trace your lifeline through these transformative times. Bee says get
> to work now.
>
> Black Sun holds the sudden crack of illumination from the lightening
> strike and the after effect of initiation. Are you ready? Light from
> the Black Sun always reflects a simple answer to complex questions.
> Both Black Sun and White Buffalo counsel you to make your intentions
> clear. Begin your search to find absolute reality and eternal bliss.
> Seek to become a mystic warrior who has conquered the enemy of
> ignorance. Black Sun represents a spiritual journey so take the first
> step--if you haven't already.
>
> Ball Court is at the heart of this reading. The ancestors played the
> ball game in three worlds-this world and the over-and-under worlds.
> The ball court is a metaphor for our time and circumstances. Bring
> the ancestors' teachings to the center of your life as you respond to
> life's challenges. They bequeathed great wisdom to us. We play for our
> lives and the lives of the generations to come. We can regard the
> death of the white buffalo calf as a sign of wide and varied change
> upon our earth and the need for sacrifice and personal change. His
> sacrifice signals a new game has begun and it's not like anything
> you've ever played.
>
> We would like to hear what understanding others have come to in
> reading this sign. We pass this reading on as a solstice offering.
> Please share the reading with family, friends and community. May you
> receive medicine and blessings from the shimmering starlight of the
> holy above-tree.
