The beginning of the week is a great time to acknowledge your spirit. Help it grow in love by smelling a flower, taking a short walk, watching the birds at a bird feeder, lighting some sage (or your favorite herb or incense) and cleansing yourself with that wonderful smoke, and of course add being kind to a stranger. I guarantee you will feel renewed

🌕🦌 Full Buck Moon – July 10, 2025

On July 10, 2025, the night sky was illuminated by the glowing presence of the Full Buck Moon—a celestial milestone deeply rooted in nature and tradition.

🔍 Why “Buck Moon”?
This full moon gets its name from a seasonal marker: July is when young male deer (bucks) begin to grow their new antlers. Covered in velvet and full of potential, these antlers symbolize renewal and strength—echoed by the moon’s steady rhythm in the sky.

🔭 Astronomical Notes:
– The moon appeared full and golden, especially near the horizon
– It rose shortly after sunset and traveled across the sky all night
– Positioned near the galactic center, it offered a perfect pairing with the Milky Way for stargazers and photographers

🌍 Cultural Roots:
Also known as the Thunder Moon or Hay Moon, this lunar phase was used by Native American and agrarian societies to guide seasonal activities like harvesting, gathering herbs, or holding ceremonies.

💫 As the Moon cycled into fullness, it reminded us of nature’s timing, ancient traditions, and the quiet power of transformation.

On July 1st, some people wave flags.
They wear red and white.
They sing big songs and shoot fireworks into the sky.

But not all of us celebrate that way.

In our family, we gather around a small fire.
We sit close together, quiet and listening.
We remember.

“Grandpa,” a little one asks,
“why don’t we wear red and white?”

Grandpa leans in and smiles,
“I wear the colours of my ancestors,” he says.
“Earth. Blood. Bone. Sky.”

The little one’s eyes grow wide.
She looks down at her ribbon skirt,
its colours glowing in the firelight.

“Before there was a Canada,” Grandpa says,
“there were Nations.

Nehiyawak.
Anishinaabeg.
Haudenosaunee.
Dene.
Inuit.
Tlingit.
Mi’kmaq.
And many more.

We were here with our own ways—
our own songs, laws, and languages.
Our own stars, stories, and spirit.”

The fire crackles.
The little one listens.

“Then came the lines.
Drawn on maps we didn’t make.
They built schools that weren’t safe.
Took children away.
Changed our names.
Stole our words.”

The fire goes quiet for a moment.
Even the wind holds its breath.

“But our people didn’t disappear,” Grandpa says.
“No. We remembered.
Even when it was dangerous.
We carried the songs in whispers.
The pipes in secret.
The lodges in our hearts.”

The little one leans closer.
“Are we still remembering now?”

“Oh yes,” Grandpa nods.
“We are remembering, rising, reclaiming.

The languages are coming back.
The youth are standing strong.
The grandmothers are still teaching.

The drum still beats.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

It never stopped.
It just waited.”

The little one smiles now.
“I think I hear it too,” she says.
“I want to light a fire when I grow up.”

Grandpa places a pinch of to***co into the flame.
“Good,” he says.
“Because our fires are sacred.

Not loud like fireworks—
but strong like roots.

They remind us of who we are.
And how far we’ve come.”

The fire glows.
The smoke rises.
The remembering continues.

Ekosi.

SWEETGRASS
The elders tell us that it takes longer for us to heal today and the reason is because the old trails our ancestors used to use to find us have been destroyed....so now our ancestors are having a hard time finding us to help us heal.
We are also told that was the first plant to grow on Mother Earth
When we harvest Sweetgrass,we get three bunches of seven strands
So there will be 21 pieces of grass,,
We do not pull it, this is the hair of Mother Earth.
We braid the three strands of seven pieces right there on Mother Earth
Then we gently cut it
If we want to state our intentions,, we can bring to***co as to bring Creator in on our words as to how we will use this
For an offering we can offer something the plant can use,, like water,
So offer the relations around it, it’s brothers and sisters,mother and father
And so on,give them a gift of water.
When we burn sweetgrass, remember these things:
Its a kindness medicine...with a sweet gentle aroma when we light it.
Its symbolic...
There are 21 strands used to make a braid...
The first 7 strands represent those 7 generations behind us~
Our parents
Our grandparents
Our great grandparents and so on for
7 generations behind us~who we are and what we are is because of them~they've brushed and made the trails we have been walking up til now...but the trails have been destroyed, we have lost our connection.
The time has come to heal and reconnect with our ancestors.
The next 7 represent the 7 sacred teachings...
Love, Respect, Honesty, Courage, Wisdom, Truth and Humility.
The elders tell us how simple, powerful and beautiful the teaching are:
1 Love: unconditional affection with no limits or conditions that starts with loving yourself.
2 Respect: due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights or traditions of other, with consideration, thoughtfulness, attentiveness, politeness, courtesy, civility, deference.
3 Honestly: have a character of integrity, and honor be free from fraud or deception, legitimate truthful.
4 Courage: bravery, permitting one to face extreme dangers with boldness withstanding danger, fear or difficulty
5 Wisdom: the quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgment the quality of being wise.
6 Truth: the face of the matter, veracity, sincere, candor and genuineness
a determined in principle entirely by how it relates to things
7 Humility: freedom from pride or arrogance, being humble, when we truly understand the teaching of humility, that we are not any better then anyone else and you are not any better then me. that at the end of the day we are simply human beings, this is what makes this teaching powerful and beautiful.
The last 7 strands are those of the 7 generations in front of us~
Our children .....
Our grandchildren .....
Our great grandchildren .....
as well as those children yet to be born.
It is important because everything we do to Mother earth will one day effect them... We have lost our way, Mother Earth gives us everything we need to heal ourselves and the earth. We must go back to our roots and bloom.
