New Moon Ceremony
Mother Earth's Oneness Vision Quest
By Dhyana Markley
Note from the Author
(I feel this is a very important ceremony, created by Lady Gaia in this way so that it will be more interesting, more of a special occasion that may be shared, if a participant is so inclined. In truth, some may experience it the first time they read it, while others will hold themselves back for the experience of the cocoon, dirt, and campfire in the late afternoon or evening. It will greatly depend upon the individual. I would love to see some drumming groups, or others who do Sweats and Moon Ceremonies grab onto this technique and run with it. Would hate to see a charge for it, but freely given donations can help pay for the expenses of the guides, firewood and use of land.
This Moon Ceremony was actually held in 1995, but some people have an attitude about reading or doing anything, no matter how wise or helpful, that was written more than two weeks ago.
What is obviously the Moon part of the ceremony is in 8 pt, while what the Guide would say is in italics, but 10 pt so that if a Guide wanted to print it out, it would be easier to read aloud in low light.
I put this ceremony first in my book, "A SACRED PATH TO ONENESS Conversations with White Buffalo Calf Woman, Spider Woman and Others". That book never got past the manuscript stage even though I sold a few copies. Other parts of the book I put on my AMS website. 'Spider Woman's Seven Sacred Objects....Seven Tribes' was one section. Another was my trip to a SunDance at Pine Ridge Reservation the year the tree split, the water well broke or went dry, a rattlesnake was found in camp and a herd of horses turned and ran away from the procession as it returned with a tree that did not want to be the sacred SunDance tree. The Chiefs picked a tree closer to the road than the one an Eagle circled, and the tree cried all of the way to the ceremonial ground. Women and children were also forced to give their prayer ties to men to place on the tree, demonstrating a major split in the tribe. At least two or three chiefs were also promoting their own SunDances instead of creating more Oneness by supporting just one.
Oh, well that is another story.
By the way, the last chapter of that book was the Flower of Life Merkaba technique written by Drunvalo and approved by him to appear in my book about 1997.
Anyway, we upon Earth are coming very close to major changes, which are to include the coming together of all life, not just on this planet, but throughout Creation. So, I thought it might be a good time to share this Oneness Ceremony.
I tried to make it more clear than what was given to me from Lady Gaia / Mother Earth but she did cover everything important. I think I was basically trying to clarify everything as much as I could to prevent people asking me more questions about how to do it instead of looking within themselves for the answers.)

NEW MOON CEREMONY
Mother Earth's Oneness Vision Quest
By Dhyana Markley
I fill my small Pipe with dry Mullein leaves, Sage and a pinch of Tobacco. I smoke awhile, then when the time is right, I light the candles placed around the room. Moments later I ring a Bell to disrupt the quiet and invite everyone to ceremony. Sounds of a Native Flute suddenly fill the silence.
My voice calls to those who are listening, "Please come, all who would like to join us in ceremony. Please clear all troubles from your hearts and minds and join us with a truly open heart." I then light the Sage, already placed in an earthen bowl, and blow on it. I lift the Sage Bowl to Father Sky to honor him, then toward Mother Earth to honor her. I honor the South, the West, the North and the East; the Above, the Below, the Within and the Without. I honor all of my guests as they arrive and am grateful they join me in this ceremony.
Big Dog lays quiet in the Northeast as I once again light my Pipe. It has been a long time. Because my pipe bowl is so small, the Mullein mix quickly goes out. I relight it, blowing smoke rings from the bowl to help keep it lit. I smile. My eyes close.
I hear her come in and take her regular spot in the Southwest. Spider Woman smiles at me as I open my eyes. I didn't see or hear him earlier but as I turn toward the South I see White Crow, also known as Chief Many Feathers, now seated in his regular spot. My heart is glad.
My hand caresses the stem of my Pipe. I had put my Pipe away for over a year and only recently started using it again. It seems appropriate now to have it with me again in ceremony.
The Pipe's fire is once again out but the horn and wood bowl is still hot. My left hand encircles it. The sounds of the Flute no longer fill the air. My ears listen for the next music. I hear the fluttering of wings. Big Dog is startled and starts to bark. When no one presents themselves, he takes a guard post and watches the door.
I empty the ashes of my personal Pipe into the Sage Bowl then lay it down in the Sacred Circle. White Crow and Spider Woman do the same with their personal Pipes. We wait to see who else will join us.
The fluttering wings we heard earlier was Owl arriving. He now perches on a branch in the Southeastern section of our circle.
Squirrel makes herself known from the rafters above and behind Spider Woman in the Southwest.
I pick up the Talking Stick. "A short time ago I asked Mother Earth to show me how I might better come to know her. She gave me a technique that I would like to share closer to the end of this ceremony, with those interested."
White Crow and Spider Woman nod their heads in turn to let me know they are interested. Owl gives a hoot. Big Dog is still facing away from the circle, ever watching, silent and on guard. I replace the Talking Stick in the Sacred Circle and wait.
Moments later I found myself leaning back as White Crow rises to a great height and starts to move toward me. Suddenly he transforms into a Golden Eagle, with a wing spread of six feet or more, and flies over my head. His yellow eyes burn into my memory. His screech sends a slight shiver down my spine and enlivens every cell in my body. I wonder why he did that. He certainly got my attention!
White Crow returns to his human form, picks up the Talking Stick but offers no explanation for his transformation. "There is one among us who wishes to speak but is bashful." He turns and encourages Beaver, who has been standing hidden behind him, to come forward. He offers the Talking Stick to Beaver. Beaver looks steadily into the Chief's eyes for a moment then takes the stick with his small hands.
Beaver turns in such a way as to speak to us all. "My mate and I have talked extensively about what we can do, how we can help serve Great Spirit and the friends of Mother Earth survive during the coming Earth Changes and consciousness shift. We want you to know that we will do everything within our power to find water for everyone and to increase its availability for use by damming it up. We will also fell trees to help provide those who need with housing materials. More we will do if you ask and if we are able." Beaver then replaces the Talking Stick within the Sacred Circle.
"Thank you, Beaver," I say, feeling very grateful in my heart. "Water for the survivors of the changes is one of my greatest concerns. Through love, harmony and cooperation with Mother Earth and her friends... each other... we all may survive. Many thanks to you and your mate again, Beaver. I know I am speaking for all of us when I say, we are all grateful."
My eyes fill with tears. So much love I am feeling for Beaver and all friends of Mother Earth and her inhabitants. White Crow and Spider Woman also wear smiles and tears.
The Candle goes out in the East. I wonder why, then proceed to relight it. The match refuses to easily blow out, so I take the opportunity to relight the Sage.
"Now may we hear the technique Mother Earth gave you earlier?" White Crow asks.
Owl hoots and Spider Woman adds, "Yes, please."
Even Beaver, who has now taken a place to the West of White Crow, near Spider Woman, sits eagerly waiting.
"Mother says this is a technique which will bring Oneness between humans and all of the rest of Creation. This technique will help to remove attitudes, aberrations and attachments which constrict or delay an individual's next spiritual step toward this Oneness.
"She suggests that each participant fast at least one day just before this ceremony, drinking only pure water, unless a medical problem prevents fasting.
"Sips of water may be taken during any break or pause in the ceremony, with potty breaks before starting, perhaps once during a pause or break and, of course, at the end of the ceremony.
"Remember: This ceremony only needs to be experienced once, so please do it in such a way that you intend to reap the most benefit from it. It may be done more than once, however this is not necessary.
"First Mother Earth suggests we dig a rectangle shaped horizontal hole three or four feet deep into the ground for each participant. It should be shaped like a cocoon and slightly larger than our physical body. We might do this ceremony as individuals or as a family, encircling a campfire with our feet toward the fire, and heads away. Some may want to sleep for several nights in this way, before and after the ceremony, wrapped only in blankets, skins or just Mother Earth herself. For a one time experience though, it is better to have more direct contact with Mother Earth. The fewer clothes the better. This would, of course, be a more pleasant experience if done during the warm days of summer. The ground will be very hard to dig or lay upon once it has been frozen.
GUIDES, PLEASE NOTE:
This Vision Quest can take as little time as a few hours or, with a large group of participants, take as long as three or even four hours or more. It all depends upon how quickly and thoroughly EACH participant experiences each and every one of the suggested Earth Conscious individuals listed. It is important that the Guide tune into the pace of each individual, yet guide the entire group to flow in harmony with each experience.
If a participant is sick, injured, disabled or elderly, they may sit alone or with other participants, their bare feet touching the dirt of the ground and facing toward the fire. If they are unable to do this, then dirt may be placed in a box or container so that their bare feet may touch it in this way.
If only one person is to experience this 'in the ground' technique, the hole should be placed East to West, with a bonfire to be placed at its West end, three to five feet beyond the cocoon, depending upon how large the campfire is created. If from one to six people will be experiencing this ceremony, it is suggested that the cocoons be dug at angles resembling spokes on a wheel, with the campfire as the hub. A line may be drawn around each person with a stick and they will be expected to dig their cocoon there, large enough for them to feel totally comfortable. The excavated dirt may be piled close by so that some may be lightly sprinkled on the participant for the ceremony. This digging may be done the previous day in preparation. It is important to space each participant so that they each have as much quiet and privacy as possible.
It is also important that the fire be close enough to the feet of the participant[s) to warm them a bit, yet allow the Guide to walk around both the participants and the campfire. The fire will also help to relax the participants, put them in a slight hypnotic state and help them to return to the physical world when it is time, yet not be so close that flying sparks will burn anyone.
"For the one time ceremony Mother Earth suggests that the participants be completely covered with earth, but lightly covered like a blanket, with only their face and ears exposed. She emphasized 'lightly covered' since the desired emotion is a feeling of warmth and protection, not suffocation or panic through restriction of movement. However, if a participant feels cold, please cover them with a blanket, even though their body heat will probably rise during the ceremony.
"It is desired to start the Oneness Ceremony, that each participant be lead by the Guide, sentence by sentence, to state aloud:
GUIDE'S DIALOGUE:
PLEASE SAY EACH SENTENCE AFTER ME....
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIENCE MOTHER EARTH
IN THE FULLEST POSSIBLE WAY.
"I AM WILLING TO FACE THE ATTITUDES,
ABERRATIONS AND ATTACHMENTS
WHICH ARE DELAYING MY NEXT SPIRITUAL STEP.
I AM ALSO WILLING TO GIVE AWAY
WITH AN OPEN HEART,
THOSE ATTITUDES, ABERRATIONS
AND ATTACHMENTS TO GREAT SPIRIT,
TO ALL THAT IS, OR TO MOTHER EARTH...
IF THAT BE HER DESIRE.
I ALSO SINCERELY ASK THE PERMISSION
OF ALL SOULS INVOLVED IN THIS EXPERIENCE
TO ALLOW ME TO MERGE WITH THEM...
AND TO EXPERIENCE WHO THEY TRULY ARE
BUT IN A MOST LOVING AND BENEVOLENT WAY.
I AM __(state your first name)__
THANK YOU."
"This ceremony may be experienced alone, but it is best to have a close friend, family member or medicine person as a Guide. A second Guide may be helpful, especially if there are several individuals experiencing the vision quest at the same time.
"If there are more than six participants, it is suggested that the group be split into groups of no more than six and other spokes and fires be set up out of ear range from the first group and each other group. Each group will need their own Guide.
"The Guide will keep the central campfire going and attend to anyone's special needs, as well as instruct the participants when to switch to the next level of the experience. The Guide should always give the following instructions gently and quietly, as if whispering to a dreaming individual. Of course the Guide will speak louder if there are several participants, but the slow and gentle spoken word is important. The participants will probably not fall asleep, but be in an altered state and any loud noise might bring them abruptly out of the desired experience."
I look around. "Any questions so far?"
When there are none, I continue. "Then, assuming that the participants are in their earthen cocoons with only their faces showing, the Guide will say the following, slowly:"
GUIDE'S DIALOGUE:
BREATHE SLOWLY AND DEEPLY...
INTEND ALL OF YOUR BODIES TO BE BALANCED...
OPEN YOUR HEART AND MIND WIDELY AND TRUST...
GO WITH THE FLOW OF THE EXPERIENCE.....
WHEN YOU ARE FEELING TOTALLY RELAXED... SAFE...
AND READY... TAKE SEVERAL MORE SLOW, DEEP BREATHS.
FEEL YOUR BODY RELAXING MORE.... AND MORE... AND MORE...
SEEMING TO SINK DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO MOTHER EARTH.
REMEMBER... YOU ARE ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY THE LIGHT
OF YOUR OWN PROTECTION AND SPIRITUAL GUIDES...
BUT YOU ARE ALSO UNDER THE PROTECTION OF MOTHER EARTH...
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAPPEN.
NOW... WHEN YOU ARE READY... IN JUST A MOMENT...
YOU WILL FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE NOW FLYING...
FLYING THROUGH MOTHER EARTH... THROUGH THE ROCKS...
THROUGH THE SOIL... THROUGH BEAUTIFUL CAVERNS...
SUDDENLY SOMETHING WILL CATCH YOUR ATTENTION...
AND YOU WILL BE DRAWN TO IT...
AS YOU DRAW NEAR YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS A HUGE
CLUSTER OF UNCUT DIAMONDS... A DIAMOND VEIN...
MAYBE, A DIAMOND MINE..........
PERHAPS YOU WILL WANT TO REACH OUT AND
TOUCH THE DIAMONDS OR PERHAPS YOU WILL
WANT TO BECOME THE DIAMOND...
TO SEE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE A DIAMOND
AND TO EXPERIENCE THEIR GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS...
THEIR INDIVIDUAL AWARENESS AND TO FEEL THE
TIMELESSNESS THAT THEY KNOW..........
STAY AWHILE...
ABSORB ALL THEY HAVE TO SHARE...
EVEN ON A QUANTUM LEVEL...
LOOK CLOSELY AT EVERYTHING...
YOU CAN SEE AS IF THROUGH A MICROSCOPE...
(Allow time for each to experience this.)
"THEN, WHEN YOU FEEL IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON...
FLY ONCE AGAIN THROUGH MOTHER EARTH UNTIL
SOMETHING ELSE CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION...
THAT YOU ARE DRAWN TO AND
WILL WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH...
AS YOU DRAW CLOSER YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS......:"
GUIDES, PLEASE NOTE:
With a large group you might want to mention several of the various gemstones so that some individuals might not be held back by those slower. With only one individual it will be good to encourage them either to experience one at a time OR to follow the urgings of their Higher Self to continue their experiences. You might want to ask the participant his/her choice before the actual ceremony begins.
[A CLUSTER OF DIAMONDS; THEN
A CLUSTER OF SAPPHIRES; THEN
A CLUSTER OF EMERALDS; THEN
A CLUSTER OF YELLOW OR AMBER CRYSTALS;
A CLUSTER OF FIRE OPALS; THEN
A CLUSTER OF RED RUBIES; AND
ANY OTHER STONE YOU WOULD
LIKE TO EXPERIENCE.]
GUIDES, PLEASE NOTE:
Ask if there are any other precious stones they would like to experience or you might think of or see another stone to add. Participants will be able to quietly respond to questions since they are in a relaxed, altered state, but some may be so relaxed they will not answer you. If no more stones are mentioned, return to the cluster of Diamonds to see if it has anything further to add, regarding Mother Earth's precious stones, metals, lava, waters, etc.
It is important to fully experience each stone, mineral, creature, etc., before going on to the next. With a group of participants, inwardly check or quietly ask each one, to make sure each or all are finished before moving them to the next experience. Some may be ready to move on much sooner than others and eagerly continue without your guidance or encouragement, so you may need to keep track of who is experiencing what or keep quietly reminding the participants to:
"PLEASE QUIETLY REST A FEW MOMENTS UNTIL EVERYONE IS READY TO MOVE ON."
GUIDE'S DIALOGUE:
"THEN... WHEN YOU FEEL IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON...
TO A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE...
FLY ONCE AGAIN THROUGH MOTHER EARTH UNTIL
SOMETHING ELSE CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION...
AND YOU ARE DRAWN TO IT. AND NOW...
AS YOU DRAW CLOSER YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS....."

(Complete all of the minerals.)
THEN, ONCE AGAIN, WHEN YOU FEEL YOU ARE READY TO MOVE ON...
FLY THROUGH MOTHER EARTH UNTIL YOU SEE LAVA FLOWING
FROM AN UNDERGROUND VOLCANO.
AS YOU GROW CLOSER, YOU WILL FIND YOU ARE BEING URGED
BY MOTHER EARTH, TO FLY INTO THE LAVA.
REMEMBER, NOTHING CAN HARM YOU...

INTERESTED IN KNOWING.]
(GUIDE: Continue with directions.)
"THEN INWARDLY ASK:
MOTHER EARTH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EXPERIENCE TO BETTER KNOW YOU AND REALIZE OUR ONENESS WITH ALL LIFE?"
"LISTEN FOR AN INNER ANSWER. IF SHE HAS MORE FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE, FOLLOW HER SUGGESTION. IF SHE FEELS YOU DO NOT NEED MORE TO TRULY UNDERSTAND ONENESS, EXPRESS YOUR PROFOUND GRATITUDE TO HER AND ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO SHARED THEMSELVES WITH YOU...
THEN ASK THAT YOU MIGHT ALWAYS KEEP A GOOD, CLEAR AND LOVING CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU AND ALL OF THE PARTS OF HER.
"ASK FOR MOTHER EARTH'S HELP IN ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE AND PROMISE THAT IN RETURN YOU WILL DO ALL THAT YOU CAN TO LOVE HER UNCONDITIONALLY, TO SHOW YOUR RESPECT TO HER ALWAYS AND TO HELP HER WHENEVER SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP.
"AGAIN, LET US EXPRESS OUR JOY AND GRATITUDE WITH HER SHARING AND KNOW THAT YOU MAY ALWAYS RETURN TO HER AT ANY TIME.
"ALSO, KNOW THAT WHEN YOU RETURN TO YOUR FULL AWARENESS OF YOUR PHYSICAL BODY AND YOUR PHYSICAL LIFE... YOU WILL FEEL RELAXED, RESTED AND WONDERFUL.
"AND NOW, WHEN YOUR ARE READY...
SLOWLY AND GENTLY RETURN FULLY
TO YOUR PHYSICAL BODY...
OPEN YOUR EYES...
TAKE A DEEP BREATH...
NOTICE THE FIRE AND THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND YOU...
THEN LOOK AT ME, YOUR GUIDE."
GUIDE, PLEASE NOTE:
It is important to make sure that all participants be awakened gently, given plenty of water, perhaps some warm tea and vegetable soup. If they are cold, wrap them in blankets and rub some Cayenne Pepper in vegetable oil on their feet.
It might be beneficial for them to immediately write of their experiences in their Personal Diary, Log Book or Journal while it is fresh in their memory, so that they might more easily return to the experience when desired.
When I finish sharing Gaia's instructions, I discover that a great peace envelopes our group.
"That is wonderful!" exclaims Spider Woman.
Owl flaps his wings in appreciation. Beaver seems stunned.
"Mother Earth also mentioned that shorter versions of this ceremony may be done as a sort of "refresher course" if an individual feels that he or she has lost touch with Her. If someone is very young, very old, weak or in ill health, he or she might sit outside in the sun with his or her bare feet lightly covered with dirt and do the ceremony that way, instead of being buried in the ground. But the full ceremony is recommended for those who truly want to know Mother Earth." I look around. "Does anyone wish to add anything in closing?"
We all look at each other for a response. When there is none, my guests begin to leave.
"Thank you all very much for coming and for your constant love and support," I call after them. "I am very grateful."
Each smiles at me in turn, then quietly leaves.
