Welcome!
I was playing a game on the computer, when I was suddenly hit with an ill feeling. I turned the game off and went and laid down on my left side on the couch. Something wasn't right.
I could hear a woman singing to me. She sang what sounded like native music. Where was this coming from? It was in my head somehow. Then my body and speech were taken over by her. I was aware of what was happening to me, but unable to stop it, frozen in place. She kept me calm and somehow I felt assured I would be safe. She used my voice and spoke a language I do not know. My common-law partner came over and knelt on the floor beside me. My child ran away down the hall to their room and poked their head out to watch. As she spoke through me in her native tongue, she spoke to me in my head in english so I could understand. She told me she was Grandmother Earth and asked me to heal all of her people. I intuitively understood this to mean spiritual healing, not physical. She said my partner was supposed to hear this, as he was supposed to help me.
Then she kept control of me, but backed up and allowed another spirit to come through. This woman used my voice, too! Once again, she spoke a language I do not know and yet it was obviously not the same language that Grandmother Earth had used. To me, this new language seemed to have a lot of 'F' sounds to it. As she used my voice to speak aloud, she also spoke to me in my head using english. She told me she was an Ancient One of the Inuit and could I heal all of her people as well. Once again, I took this to mean spiritual healing. I said I would.
They released me and I sat up, completely flabbergasted! What just happened to me? I told my partner and child what I experienced. I asked, "Who is Grandmother Earth?". I wondered if the Inuit had a belief system of Ancient Ones. Then I was stunned. Why are they asking me? Why me? I am no one. I am not Indigenous or Inuit. I am of Eurasian descent. I am Buddhist. I don't understand why they would ask me? My partner said he knew of a book I needed to read. As I sat there mystified by what had just occurred and lost for answers as to why these spirit women would ask me to do these things, Grandmother Earth responded. She said to remember the White Buffalo.
I remembered I had seen a news report years ago on television, that a white bison had been born in the U.S.A. and that it was a prophecy of the Native American people. When I watched that report back then, I had thought to myself, "Cool! A prophecy is coming true during my lifetime!" I thought nothing more of it over the years, until that moment when Grandmother Earth told me to remember. I got back onto the computer and searched the internet for more information.
I found a website of the farm where the white bison, Miracle had been born. I read about the life of that bison and how it had changed colour. What I found to be weird was that my hair had changed colour naturally throughout my life. As a baby and toddler, my hair was blonde, but as I aged it turned to a reddish brown colour, similar to my father's. I realize that is not unusual, many children have different hair colour when they are babies. However, the morning after I gave birth to my child, the visitors that came to the hospital asked if I had dyed my hair. I had not. They told me my hair changed colour. I went into the washroom, looked in the mirror and sure enough my hair was now black! It never naturally went back to its reddish brown colour. Now it is turning white with age.
I continued to read the website and discovered the prophecy about White Buffalo Calf Woman. I read that the birth of the white bison was announcing the return of White Buffalo Calf Woman. She had brought spirituality to the Native people and promised to return and help them again in the future, when things in the world were truly bad. When she returned she would take a human rebirth and walk among them to teach them and help them. Wait, a minute here!?! Was Grandmother Earth telling me that I am White Buffalo Calf Woman?!?! No fucking way! No, absolutely not! Can't be. That can't be possible. That is a huge thing and wouldn't I know that already, if I was? No, I simply could not believe it. Yet, maybe? Why else would these ancient spirits ask me to heal all of their people? Why would Grandmother Earth tell me to remember the White Buffalo? Surely, they would know better than me? I needed proof.
