Little Fawn was the sunlight that danced upon the paths of the ancient ones. She played in the canyons and ruins of the old ones where the wind carried the songs and voices that walked there many life times before. She would take her morning fry bread and
fried meat and off to the ruins she would go.
There the Grandmother Spider Woman would teach her the ways of Medicine woman. She would teach how to handle each herb of the earth as sacred medicine that held great healing powers in it. She taught her how to bless the four elements of nature with the sacred corn meal making sure that she did it in all seven directions. Then she taught her the ways of how to call the winds to use them to bring coolness in the summer time and how to use them to bring the rain when the earth was dry, and needed nourishment. Then out of her secret pouch she brought the feathers of the golden eagle and told her the powers that were in the feathers and how they held the mysteries of the ancients ones. Then she pulled out a
shiny clear stone and placed it within her hand it was so clear you could see yourself in it. The Grandmother took out of the pouch a scroll that held many many old words hand scribed upon it in a language she didn't not know. Grandmother said Little Fawn come sit closer and I will tell you the story that is older then life its self. The winds began to make music as it push though the open windows of the ruins, in the distance you could hear the sound of a coyote singing his song to the GrandFather, the winds begin to swirl the dust into patterns and shapes that make your eyes see things that were not there. Then GrandMother began to tell the story of how Spider Woman spun two silver strings, one touching the east, one touching the west. Then she made two more silver strings one touch north and south. She made from the east and west two girls and from the north and south two males, giving each a different color of skin, one red, one yellow, one black, one white. As she sent each one out, they were given gifts to give back to Mother Earth to bring new life. One was given the golden light of the sun, another the silver light of the moon, to another she gave the four winds and the last the four seasons to live and create life of blessings.
