The Shaman has lit the sacred fire at sunset. Smoke curls and rises in the growing night sky. The ground has been purified with sage, and sweetgrass burns and brings blessings to we who have come here. Strong prayers of protection and blessing have been made. The Shaman makes the circle strong and bright and calls to spirit to bless and protect and to heal us.
The Shaman has lit the sacred fire which burns at the South of the Dreamer Wheel. Facing the Fire from the center, the Shaman begins the rattling and the circling starting in the South and circling heyoka/widdershins/counterclockwise moving around the circle back to the South. Reversing directions, the Shaman circles sunwise/deosil/clockwise around the circle and back to the South. Once more the Shaman turns heyoka/widdershins/counterclockwise in the circling and the rattling, but only pauses at the south and continues rattling and circling until arriving at the North.
The Shaman has unwound and wound and unwound again and coiled the current in the polarities of alignment with the Sacred Fire.
All move to East and the Journey into the Mysteries of the Sacred Dreaming begin.
We sit quietly in the East, looking west within the Dreamer Wheel, and after a time of stillness and quiet we hear these words.................
Here Lies the Dreaming Wheel-- it is not Dead, but Sleeping
Awaits Remembrance and Desire to Conjoin
Calls us Forth, Awakening.
White-Headed, White-Tailed Eagle of Light
Sits within the Dreaming Tree
Visions Light Becomes the Knowing, Spawns the Thinking, MIRROR Showing
Beliefs like fruit upon the Tree, heavy growing, to Earth are Falling
To Be New Again, To be New Again
Some will Live and Some will Not
Some we Eat and Some will Rot
See the Stones, the Circle Reflecting
Never Beginning, Never Ending
SACRED MOUNTAIN AT THE CORE
IS EVERY "WHERE?" and EVER "MORE"
See the Eagle of the West
Lightning Splits the Darkness Vest
Sacred Rose upon the stone
Love-in-Beauty and Beauty's home
Sacred Fire, River of Desire
Blood within our veins
Feel the Heat, See the Light
Dreams within the Flame
Sacred Paths are crossing
Within the Dreamers Wheel
Wings of Love unfolding
What we see is what we get
But what we see and get
Depends upon our willingness
The Present Moment is the Gateway to Eternity
When you are ready....approach the gate of the North
