The Sacred Hearth
Before I do a deep dive into
my tribes mysticism,
Let me take you to the tribal roots of yours.
Before we had the changes in the suns course and the variations of the seasons, cycles of years, positions of stars, or the nature of living things,
We had the sacred fire.
Arguably one of the greatest mystic
Poets of all time said:
“I purified my lips with sacred fire,
that I may speak of love,
but when I opened my mouth to speak,
I found myself mute .”
Consider malkhut-
The kingdom, sovereignty,
All that is under the All…
Remember how small we are in a cosmic sense.
Specks in the infinite.
In millions of stars
Lies the carbon of your bones.
Whatever that is that makes you
Unique is what makes the universe.
All that started around the sacred hearth. The polarity that strings together
Everything beyond our stratosphere,
Traveled here to find rest
As polarities were reconciled
Inside our Mother Earth.
Rock with me as we take the journey within.

Since the dawn of existence,
Fire has been regarded with Awe.
There’s no way of figuring out when humans discovered how to create fire,
but we do know that it revolutionized are very lives.
It provided us warmth in the winter,
and gave us new ways to prepare our dinners,
and protected us from predators, who were afraid of its glow.
Everyone’s OG’s come from the same place.
I hate to take away whatever specialness
the cultural appropriation
Camp has but every single person
Is related to someone who doesn’t have
a complex way of life.
Who came up by a hunter gatherer
Path so anyone can have a connection
to the gigantic fire that
Gave our ancestors safety
And security.
Think about what a sense of well-being would create in our ancestors.
We aren’t the biggest or the fastest predators so imagine how immensely positive an influence our emotional state would experience the first time we weren’t in a fear-based society.
That’s what the sacred fire brings.
Fire was a source of profound mystical experience,
because it created the space for our ancestors to reflect on their condition and gain awareness of the
spiritual dimensions around them.
How do you think the element of fire became an object of veneration?
Not among Alchemists,
Zoroastrians, Hellenists,
Hindus or Kiowas,
Or Pacific Islanders… OR
Anyone who came up
On the earliest religions
Of shamanism.
That pure brand mysticism based purely
On a feeling.
Just you and your intuition in the face of Mother Earth.
Now you can walk in the vestal virgins
and the continuous fire burning
On the altar.
Just don’t stop me when it hits you what I’m talking about.
Cuz All of this started with hearths burning at the center of villages.
People would literally light sticks from the fire in the center of their villages to take back to their huts.
Now look up in any church,or mosque, or synagogue, temple or spiritual place and ask yourself if you see a flame lit anywhere… incense are sure fire
Indicators you’re in a house
Of divinity where the sacred fires stay lit.
This is our history.
Shared before the concepts of melanin or
Differences stood the sacred hearth.
Of course my tribes house of worship was burned down,
Our libraries were burned and our burial mounds were turned into
Housing Developments.
Now you’re with me,
Now we can speak on the deeper pieces
Of our mystical history.
Until then…
Keep breathing in light and living in love.
