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!
