The Talbotton Shamanism January Meetup

Full Moon Sweat Lodge
Rose Hill, Talbotton
Saturday January 26th. 2008

Special note! We have rescheduled the sweat ceremony and lodge to the following weekend! There will be NO lodge on the Sat 19. Sorry, but you have all seen the bad weather and the report is ice and rain through this Saturday, the forcast for next Saturday the 26th. is good and will be much more comfortable to hang by the fire and safer for our friends who are driving from a bit far. Please try to reschedule and do come join us! If you can make it for the 26th. Do call and or email and let us know to expect you and your shamanistically inclined friends! Be well,

We would like to invite you to a community ceremony for cleansing and purification performed in a traditional way. We have established an all nations or one nation lodge to honor the way for all tribes and nations. A beautiful twelve pole lodge with path to sacred fire is opened to those sincere individuals who wish to share and be blessed in this way. As we are peoples from many and various backgrounds the lodge is set up and run in an eclectic fashion suitable for this purpose. This means elements of tradition are borrowed and incorporated from Crow, Ojibway, Lakota, Dakota, Cherokee, Huichol, Tarahumara and Rainbow traditions as described by Black Elk, Sun Bear, Floyd Realbird, Tarwater, Acasio Acatecatl Oltehua and Ed Mcgaa of Mother Earth Spirituality and . Prayers will be made, Sacred fire fashioned and water pored in a good way. We begin and end with the pipe ceremony. This ceremony will be made clear for beginners and elders alike. All good people are welcome. The Lodge will be co-ed. Wear appropriate clothing. Ask if you don't know.
