> The Seventh Fire: > An Ancient Prophecy Thank you, Jane. What a way to start this particular day! I was able to report on the teachings of the Seven Fires extensively in my book "Profiles in Wisdom: Native Elders Speak About the Earth." In the book Grandfather William Commanda, 89, tells the tale in detail. He is the Keeper of the Seven Fires Wampum Belt, and Traditional Chief of, really, all the Algonquin peoples. William was here in Santa Fe about 2 weeks ago for a conference with other elders, and so we got to spend the week together remembering the walk we made together in 1995-95 -- walking in prayer from the Atlantic to the Pacific over 8 months to "strike a spark" for the 8th Fire. An amazing pilgrimage - still going on in many ways. Just yesterday I was up at Los Alamos with another band of pilgrims (including 3 other people who were part of the 95-96 walk). This time the walk was carrying a flame - the Hiroshima Peace Flame, ignited 56 years ago from the embers of the fire that resulted from the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima). It was an amazing (esoterically and exoterically ) day. The flame returned to its source - the City of Fire. I will write a complete report on the day as soon as I have a chance (perhaps over the weekend, or early next week), and if their is interest I will post it to the list.
