Fascinating. This places the actual physical center near the sacred site of
Bear Butte--the place where Crazy Horse and Geronimo achieved siddhi--and one
of the most powerful sacred sites I've ever experienced. Ritual activity in
this area goes back over 10,000 years and is sacred to the Sioux and the
Cheyenne. It's their "Mt. Sinai". If you are ever in this area, it's worth the
day hike or better, an overnight. It will blow your mind.
There were still medicine men taking initiates in for the 3-day and night
vigil and fast/visioning when I was there last--consequently you can only
approach the summit by one path, as completely surrounding the path are
hundreds of old magical circles in stone that various shamans had sat in over
history. The trees all along the path are all strewn with cloth used to hold
offerings to the Great Spirit. Bear Butte is unique in that to the east of it
lies the high plains and to the west the Black Hills, so Bear Butte stands like
a lone sentinel and gateway to the Black Hills.
This is also where the cave where the sacred arrows were received.
Unfortunately the US military used the cave for target practice in the last
century and it is damaged but visitors to this day still spontaneously catch
the smell of burning sweet grass.
