SPIDER WOMAN SPEAKS OF THE SEVEN SACRED OBJECTS OF THE OSAGE (Español)

By Dhyana Markley

Note from the Author

In 1995 or thereabouts, Spider Woman and I had a series of seven conversations about the Seven Sacred Objects she was holding for each of Seven Tribes: HOPI, ARAPAHOE, COMANCHE, LAKOTA/DAKOTA SIOUX, OSAGE, CHEROKEE, OJIBWA/CHIPPEWA

These seven messages are now available at my website, www.AscendedMastersSpeak.com

In ten years of Moon Ceremonies I did with Spider Woman in attendance, she rarely said a word, but when she did, everyone listened closely. It was amazing for me to have these more intimate conversations with her.

Later it became obvious that her messages are not just for the seven tribes mentioned, but for all tribes and all peoples of the world. As I reread and retyped the messages, getting them ready for my website, I realized how timely they are now. No wonder she'd been nudging me lately to get them out to a wider audience.

Both Spider Woman and I hope you will find this series of service and an aid to the ascension of All That Is.

Spider Woman Speaks Of The Seven Sacred Objects Of The Osage

Scribed by Dhyana Markley

"Spider Woman, please join me at your convenience to continue our work on the Seven Sacred Objects." My voice calls to her beyond space and time. I know we will meet in the Now. I turn my head and see her seated on a rug in my bedroom as before, but now with only three lines of objects in front of her and four lines to her right side.

"Tonight we will work with the Osage objects," she says as she picks up the first item. She holds it in both hands about a foot from her face, studies it a moment, then holds it out for me to see.

It is a little, leather Drum, round, about two inches in diameter and two inches high. There is one leather-wrapped drum stick attached to a side string on the Drum. There are also some painted symbols on its sides, but I see none on the top or bottom skins.

"This Drum is to remind the Osage that communication through the heart center is desired for them at this time. A Drum which sings deeply can vibrate the rib cage and all organs within. This vibration can harmonize all of the organs in that area of the body and communication can be made on a more primitive or basic level. Still, the heart should be the focus, for unconditional love is the attitude or intent that is best to send the thoughts and feelings to be communicated, whether to an individual or to the masses. The Osage need to communicate with their hearts."

Spider Woman places the Drum to her right, starting a new line, then picks up another object from in front of her. She holds it up to her nose and sniffs it. It appears to me to be a dried yellow flower, like a daisy.She holds it up and I see it turn into a white puff ball, like the seeds from a dandelion. She blows and scatters the seeds.

"It is a Dandelion. See how its seeds are sent out into the world by a small breath and then the wind takes over, scattering and transporting them to their destiny."

I nod my head in response. "The Osage are to become more like the Dandelion Seeds. They have become too sedentary in their movements and need to scatter more and plant themselves in new surroundings so that they can learn new things and share the gifts of their lives with others. It is time for them to relearn Oneness, not just among themselves, but with the world. Old attitudes have kept them separate from so called "outsiders" and they have held this separateness as an honor and a blessing. This is no longer a useful attitude for them to carry, for it is time to bring all brothers and sisters into their households and share everything. If they do not hoard their gifts from Great Spirit, they will be pleasantly surprised with the results."

Spider Woman lays the Dandelion next to the little Drum, then picks up the next sacred object. She holds up a little, black thing with dangling legs for me to see. It looks like a stink bug.

"This is our friend the Insect. It doesn't matter exactly which species he is, for he is but a representative of all Insects." She moves the little bug to the palm of her left hand, and looks at it as she continues. "Many people see nothing good in bugs. They see them as destructive and of no value... but nothing could be further from the truth. What is needed is to live in greater harmony with all life, especially the Insect. "It is true that many Insects eat crops, but it is good to remember that they are low on the food chain and are food themselves for many others. Bats and birds eat them. In Africa and Australia the aborigine often eat ants and beetles. They are very high in protein and other food nutrients. This Insect is to remind the Osage that it is necessary to research all forms of life and to learn to live in harmony with them.

If a predator is necessary to keep the Insect population low, then knowledge about them will produce the best natural predator to help out in a specific situation. This goes for many other situations in life also."She places the little Insect next to the Dandelion, then picks up the next object from the Osage line. It appears to be a yellow Butterfly.

She tosses it up into the air and it begins to fly about, darting here and there. We both watch it for several minutes. Finally she puts her hand up, her index finger out for a perch. The Butterfly lands then transforms back into an inanimate object.

"The Butterfly is a symbol for the Osage because it represents an individual that goes from a caterpillar to a beautiful Butterfly. It represents transformation. It represents going from limitations to a more unlimited state of freedom. It gives hope to the many who believe themselves to be only a lowly caterpillar. In truth, we are all Butterflies... beautiful and free. But it is difficult to always remember when the trials and tribulations of life are overwhelming."

"That's a great symbol for many people."

"Indeed." She places the Butterfly next to the black Insect. She pauses for a moment or two and studies the remaining three in the Osage line.

Finally she picks up the next one.

I cannot see what she now holds. She blows on it then sings to it.

I still cannot see the object. I wait, knowing she will explain.

When she looks up, she smiles at me. "This is a precious little thing."

She reaches out her right hand to me and in her palm I see a living, tiny blue bird, a Hummingbird. "They are such joy filled creatures.

They shiver and shake with joy as they flit from flower to flower, always happy to share the pollen they pick up from one flower with another.

Up, down, backwards, forwards, all directions are the same to them.

They just fly from one beautiful creation to another and the song the Hummingbird sings is to remind Osage that there is joy in life and they can find beauty in all of creation. It also reminds them that what they learn from one individual, they can share with others, thereby helping them to grow and reproduce in joy."

Spider Woman smiles at the little Hummingbird, as if remembering all of its attributes even more fully and truly, the gently places it beside the Butterfly. She next picks up the sixth Osage item.

I rub my eyes. They are beginning to blur, to tire.

"What is that object? I'm having a little trouble seeing it."

"It is Birch Bark." She holds it out for me to see. It appears to be an elongated piece of dried bark, about one inch wide by three inches long. "Birch Bark is a symbol for the shields the Osage feel they must carry against those who would attack them. It was used in the past to make shields and those shields were very necessary when used in battle and as Dream Shields or Shields of Valor and accomplishment... but today it is important that all of these shields be always carried "within" the individual rather than on the outside. Knowing that you are one with Great Spirit and that you are always protected may be done more effectively with "intent" than with a physical shield. Also, knowing that which you are and that which you have accomplished might also be better reflected from within than from without. Self-confidence is conveyed by the body in the way one walks and communicates. It is no longer necessary or desirable to display material things to impress upon others that one is worthy or successful."

Spider Woman sits the Birch Bark next to the Hummingbird, then picks up the final Osage object.

I stretch for a few moments before looking over to see what it is.

I yawn a couple of time, then look closer to see what she is holding.

It appears to be a small toy Rifle.

"It is a Rifle, but it's not what you would think it is for... it is not for killing or protection."

I am confused. "What else could a Rifle be for if not for killing game, killing people during wars or protection?"

"It is a reminder of the past... a painful past, I must admit, but the past. Most often I recommend that one always live in the Now,not the past or the future. However, this time I think it is appropriate for the Osage to contemplate for awhile on the past and how it has influenced their Now. Remember, no one is truly a victim. We all are participants in the creation of our futures whether you think this is true or not. This is to remind them to look back and see what attitudes and choices were made that have manifested in their current reality and learn from them. For the attitudes and choices they make today will greatly influence their tomorrows."

I am satisfied with her answer. "Anything else? That was number seven, you know."

She smiles at me as she gets up from her place on the floor.

"That will do for today. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow then," I respond and call it a day.
