SUMMARY:Fuego Sagrado Vision Quest Africa
DESCRIPTION:The Vision Quest is a traditional native initiation rite of several tribes of the USA and Mexico. The vision quester climbs the mountain with the purpose of seeking a direction in life\, a rebirth\, or a deepening in self-knowledge through prayers\, reflection and commitment.We are in alliance with and oriented by this tradition\, with the permission and blessings to lead this ancestral design delivered by the chief of the Sacred Fire of Itzachilatian\, Aurelio Diaz Tekpankali. In this way\, we make the call\, the invocation to the four directions\, to the heart of the sky\, to the Great Spirit\, to the great Mystery\, to the heart of the Mother Earth\, to the giver of life\, and to all life.  We seek to understand the purpose of our true nature\, to be the sum of multiple tribes and nations. Celebrating the moment in which we recognise ourselves – we are all interconnected\, we all have the same origin\, the same present and also the same future. For the love and respect of those who came before us\, that resolved to bequeath their knowledge\, their wisdom and instructions. That we can return to the truth\, to the center\, to the point of creation and agree to somehow stop the disease and imbalance. Doing the work with clarity\, transparency\, cleanliness and consistency. With humility\, sincerity\, will and integrity to be useful and to be of benefit. To strengthen and nourish ourselves in the opportunity to once again place our own truth here\, in the center\, and together in our time return to the direction of all directions. With this purpose questers are taken to the mountain for a fast from food\, water and speech for 4\, 7\, 9 and 13 days. The intention is that the seeker reaches a greater level of understanding of his/ her purpose or way of life\, thus recognising the ways of traditional people who gave us the sacred designs\, medicines\, knowledge of fasting\, meditation\, observation\, self-study and the conscious interaction with the environment and the elements. That which is hidden is revealed through the mystery\, the self-observation\, the internal and external manifestations of the quester and through the wisdom of nature. \n

SUMMARY:Four Tobacco Ceremony - Vision Quest Closing Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The “Four Tobacco” Ceremony draws from an ancient\, timeless ceremony rom South\, Central\, and Northern America.\n\n“Tobacco” in the title\, The Four Tobaccos\, refers to a “medicine”. So it may also read as\, The Four Medicines Ceremony. This is because the sacred tobacco is the medicine of prayer – and through a sacred use of it Great Mystery leads us to knowing all our other sacred medicines. Many believe tobacco is The First Medicine\, and through it we discovered all the other medicines we needed to live healthily and contently as sacred human beings.\n\nThroughout the ceremony\, we focus our full attention on the sacred fire\, shaped like an arrow into the half-moon altar.\n\nWe begin with the Purpose Tobacco\, which the ceremonial leaders will use to state and support the intended purpose of the ceremony. At this time a pouch is passed around containing sacred tobacco followed closely by another containing corn husks for all present to construct a personal prayer smoke. This is an opportunity to speak from the heart about needs praying about personally.\n\nAfter the smoking\, the medicine is then passed around the circle\, followed by the first prayer songs round. For purposes of singing the prayer songs\, a staff and gourd is passed around the ceremony space\, accompanied by a peyote drum.\n\nOnce the medicine and instruments have made their way around the circle (once or twice)\, the ceremonial father calls the firekeeper to bring the Midnight Water for purposes of the Midnight Water Prayer Smoke.\n\nA further round of medicine is now introduced\, and the prayer songs commence again.\n\nIt is then time for the Power Tobacco which is a crucial point in the ceremonial journey. With this tobacco\, there is a weaving of great clarity\, and much opportunity for healing and integration.\n\nAnother round of sacred prayer songs follow the Power Tobacco Prayer\, after which the final round of medicine is administered.\n\nThe Ceremonial Mother and other women then leave the ceremonial space to take care of the Morning Water and the sacred food. This is the time for the Earth Mother. It is now time for the Morning Prayer Tobacco\, which is a time for stillness and deep listening. The Morning Water and food are then sent around the circle and we sit in the celebration and gratitude of accomplishing our ceremonial purpose together.\n\n \n\nUntil we sing together again around the Sacred Fire\,\n\nAho Mitakuye Oyasin
