Silas & Pierce Big Left Hand - Northern Cheyenne Peyote Healing Songs

From the liner notes: Our Grandfathers told us of the Heavens, five that stand out: our Grandmother Moon, The Evening Star, The Big Dipper, The Little Dipper and the coming of dawn, our precious Morning Star the endless beauty upon our Heavens. We are to have great reverence for the night world and its spiritual power callings. For our guidance coming of dawn the Morning Star gleaming bright in the heavens we sit in the circle. Our grandfather fire burning bright — the glowing likeness of the Morning Star. Everything is quiet, calm nature, an eagle bone whistle calls, tipi door opens, a woman enters carrying with her, her water bird fan and water of life: a mother, a grandmother, or perhaps a young Native maiden. The sprit of the Morning Star is with her, she is bestowed with beauty and preciousness reflecting like the fire, sacred songs are sung, she knows this is her lodge, a divine spirit. Creator bestowed upon her, Peyote the divine herb, a mother and her child two divine people. She prays with her tobacco-filled corn husk, surely her prayer will be answered.
