Sacred Fire Ceremony 2009
Sacred Fire Ceremony in Greenland - July 2009
The Ancient Ones say that One Day when the World needs it most,
the Sacred Fire will come Home to the People at the Top of the World.
For thousands of years the people in the North fueled their fires with the oil from the animal world. Animals gave their lives so that people would have light and warmth. Now the climate is changing and the trees are standing tall. In July 2009 the ancient prophecy, passed on over thousands of generations was fulfilled. The Sacred Fire kindled from wood from Mother Earth came home.
