Bei Fragen diesbezüglich könnt ihr mich gerne direkt unter moonpipe@goodmedicine.at kontaktieren.

Wir werden diesmal etwas fortsetzen, dass wir bei der letzen Juli Pfeifenzeremonie begonnen haben, nämlich einen kleinen Altar in der Mitte des Kreises zu haben, auf dem alles gelegt werden kann, was ganz speziell von den Pfeifenspirits gesegnet werden soll. Das war das letzte Mal ganz toll für uns alle.

Alle Pipes sind willkommen!

*****

Everyone, including friends and relatives are invited to the ceremony.
All who would like to join in, please briefly read over the Courtesies & customs on our website: http://www.goodmedicine.at/?page_id=22
For questions / inquiries to the pipe ceremony, please send an email to pipe@goodmedicine.at .

We always ask for a small contribution to the conference room rental and ask all who come for a small contribution to the common meal after the ceremony - which can be a (finished) dish, or eg juice. (No alcohol !)

Women, who come and are having their period (moontime), are welcome to participate in the ceremony with the the Grandmother Moonpipe (of course, also everyone else…). For questions you can contact me directly under moonpipe@goodmedicine.at .

This time we will continue something that we started last July when a small altar in the center of the circle was set up during the ceremony, where everything which you would like to be blessed by the pipe spirits, can be laid upon. Last time, this had felt really good to us all.

All Pipes are welcome!

All pipes are welcome !

This time our monthly pipe ceremony had a very special pipe coming, the Grandmother Moon Pipe. It was also a premiere for me, as I am the Keeper of this pipe and I was very nervous. It is something else, if you do ceremony with many during a monthly ceremony, different if you sit alone with the Pipe and something else again when there are many people coming to see the Grandmother Moon Pipe and you have the privilege to be the Keeper of the Pipe that many came to see. I was afraid, but there was no reason to be, as the Pipe does its work completely on its own. I felt a pressure on me, the Keeper of the Pipe, thinking that I have to deliver an absolutely amazing ceremony and this was totally in the wrong place. My lesson was to trust and to step back, because the Pipe does its work on it´s own and I only carry the pipe to the people. We read a story, given to us by Changing Man. Once the grandmother came out, I felt immediately better, for I felt that she was touching the people, I felt her presence and the most amazing moment during the ceremony was for me when we all sat in the circle, I held the pipe in the middle of the circle and we all sang together. I felt unity in the songs, many voices, strong energy. Yes, it was a ceremony to honor the women, we were at the center of it, together with the Grandmother. But, as balance is that which is important to bring into being these days, we ended up talking about men and how it is a big issue for me that there should not only be women´s circles, but also men´s circles. Celebrate that which makes us women women, honor the gift of the grandmothers but also listen to her advice to bring balance. Many of you out there might think that “oh, men dominate everything these days” - as this might seem to be true for some areas of life, in the end it is a matter of your perception and nothing more. Feel strong as a women and you will feel equal to the men. Women and Men each carry special medicine and BOTH of which should be properly honored. Suppression of women is not the way to go just as over-emancipation is not the right way either. Balance needs to be brought to both. Grandmother, may you guide us!

So, thanks to a friend of ours who took Jim´s advice to heart :), we came together for a short walk in nature yesterday. We chose Lainzer Tiergarten - a nature preserve, where you frequently see wild boars, wild goats, deer and such roaming around the woods. We went up the small hill by Nikolaitor and then walked over to a very beautiful meadow where we sat down under a tree and just enjoyed pre-spring weather. The sun shone warmly on my back, while from the West strong winds came through. They howled and came with such force, which I have rarely felt up there. I sat and tried to listen to the winds words…
what I heard is that the strong winds come to pick up the old things to make way for the new ones. At one point on the way down I got to watch a really nice view of the wind picking up quite a few old leaves and making them “run” across the earth.
So while we sat under the tree, it was peaceful - at least for me, I didn´t mind the wind, it was refreshing, I felt somewhat like being shaken through by the winds and I enjoyed that. Also, I brought the Grandmother Moon Pipe - she wanted to come! And the friend who initiated the whole walk into nature, her pipe felt the calling for the outdoors too - Wonderful ! Without having talked about it, we both brought the pipes. And also the whole group turned out to be somekind of a Lady´s circle - unintentionally aswell.

All in all, I really enjoyed the outdoors again, I got to feel nature again and saw what is currently happening. The winds, and the boars somewhat wandering at a distance in the woods but still somewhat in a circular motion around us. Oh, and Grandmother Spider paid me a visit too - as soon as I had opened my bundle. I felt good in the group, was relaxed and the time seemed to stand still up there - a wonderful feeling compared to the hustle and bustle one is constantly surrounded by in the city.

So, whoever felt like this could be something that could take place more often :-)… we already talked about a possible “Wandertag”- a day of hiking, when it´s a bit warmer.

Hier eine Ankündigung für einen interessanten Vortrag !

Museum für Völkerkunde Link

Ethnohistory, Anthropology, and Indigenous Knowledge
Vortrag von Prof. Regna Darnell, University of Western Ontario
Montag, 22. März, 18.30 Uhr, Vortragssaal

Gemeinsam mit dem Institut für Sozialanthropologie der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften lädt das Museum für Völkerkunde Wien zu einem Vortrag in englischer Sprache von Frau Professor Regna Darnell von der University of Western Ontario ein. Professor Darnell, die sich im Rahmen des Canadian Leadership Program auf einer Vortragsreise durch Europa befindet, ist eine der einflussreichsten Historikerinnen der amerikanischen Ethnologie und hat überdies wichtige Feldforschungen bei den Plains Cree und Ojibwa in Ontario durchgeführt. Sie ist Trägerin zahlreicher Auszeichnungen, darunter von der American Philosophical Society und der American Anthropological Association.

Although the inter-discipline of ethnohistory emerged in the1950’s to inject a Native American point of view into the work of the U.S. Indian Claims Commission, it has evolved into expanding the historian’s concept of history to incorporate Indigenous Knowledge as transmitted by oral tradition. The work of anthropologists with contemporary keepers of such knowledge traditions adds a dimension of interpretation to archival histories that invites a long overdue reassessment of how we can understand the past from multiple standpoints and deploy it as a guide to coexistence in multicultural and transnatitonal contexts.

Eintritt frei

So, we finally made it to the Sitting Bull Exhibition here in Vienna at the Museum
of Ethnology. It will run until the 15th of March2010 - so if you still have some
time at your hands - go and check it out. It is worth seeing, and if you spend time
with the things shown and have some good guidance at hand ( ) the better.

We were weary about seeing Pipes exhibited there, but I don´t know the
exact background to each one of them, so I won´t judge anything here.
My little girl loved the shown girl´s dresses, the quilts and moccasins - so
I handed her the camera and she became my official photographer
for this occassion. (You are allowed to take pictures without flash.)

Thanks to a friend of ours - she tried hard to find a date suitable for
almost everyone and then getting us all together -  we had a nice
afternoon, although we were a bit rushed at the end, as we still had
some errands to run before all the shops close on saturdays.
We might be back though !

Here is the information in English
und hier auf Deutsch !

January 2010
In January I had my second ceremony “in public” with the Moon Pipe.
We sat in a seperate circle and focused on the pipe and the messages we got.
The other circle had more pipes coming and it was talked about the “Spirit Sight”.
Maybe someone else will be able to “fill the gaps” here.

February 2010
And in February, so we´re talking about yesterday, I joined the big circle
as no specific “moon circle” was needed and that felt really good.
Big message for the group yesterday was:
“See everyone for what they truly are” - leaving all the crap
aside, leaving all the things that might bother you about others behind and
find that place inside which makes you feel a deep love for all beings just
the way they are. The rest is just perceived stuff anyhow, I don´t think
that this has anything to do with what people really are - at their core -
namely beautiful expressions of the Creator.
