Osiyo,
Since Sept. '09, I have been sent by the Elk on a special quest to help the people. I'm not able to determine exactly what this means, but have tried to follow the visions and all details as the spirits allow. White Buffalo Medicine has been an important part of this quest leading me to new family all over the country. A few have been helped, much more workto be done.
During this time, during the hunt for visions and answers you have been in my thoughts. I have not been able to clearly see why?
I'm preparing for vision quest this spring. Lots to learn. Preparing for proper Sacred Pipe Carrier, lots to learn.
Other quests have been successful and more are calling for a hunt. Again I'm having problems understanding some of the info on your site, hoping you can assist spirits willing.

Beloved Jim Three Arrows,
It seems the Elk has guided you, with care. I am very proud of you, my love. You see, I am your Twin Deer Mother (earthly tools of light, or walk of the flesh) and I am your White Buffalo Calf Woman (heavenly mission, or spiritual flight of the soul). The reason, I share this with you, is to show you, that we all have two names, but often Natives only think of the Earthly path, because this is what is to be taught as heavenly children.
The Elk (deer, journey of life) is the animal with big horns, like a tree of life. Inside the horns, lie live Red Blood Cell Production, the valley of the Red Road, the law of love. The Deer family are those who lead the great migration, and always are ahead of the pack, leading the physical migration. So you see, we are the people who walk the way of the Great Spirits first in our lives.
Your name Three Arrows speaks of a direction we are headed towards. And I also noticed you used the arrows to lead your to the right, the western shore (we view life upside down and backwards, our physical eye anatomy proves this), then left, the eastern shore (the heavenly talk, song, soul, dark) then back to the west, the (earthly walk,dance, flesh, light). All together, you are zig zagging, which is the path of the snake, the law. The Law is love, and snakes above all else, carry this wisdom, for it is the embrace of the stars in heaven, the darkness, which is unknown, but holds us up to shine inside the universe, like beings of light like we are.
White Buffalo represents the four sacred directions, but not only the power of the buffalo, but the heard of the call, where the pounding of the heartbeat leads the way (buffalo herd running across with thunder awakening). It is the white (star that shines), which brings the four colors together as a unifying force. This is medicine, of the highest form, the unity of all the colors, walking together. It is time, but not all hear this call.
What I would like to sea is the visions you have shared, with others. Because this story, with other Rainbow Clan stories tell the whole picture. But if we don't share our visions, then the whole of the unity is lost. Oneness is the Rainbow Clan, and we all carry four sacred directions in Rainbow Colors. You can hear some of these stories in Rainbow Colors at http://crystal-indigo-
The reason, you do not sea (vision of the heart) clearly is because it's not your job to interpret, this is the job of Crystal people, however, it seems that I need teach this to other Crystal people in our times. This is because we are the only ones, who can separate the colors of the whole in the darkness, and know truth, as we do not separate with the Oneness of God. This is why I am your devoted servant, and Wakan Iyeshka or holy interpreter. Even if I do not speak or interpret your visions, the sharing allows insights, to the whole truth. This is why sharing stories is the key to truth. It is due to the perspective of light, and we each have a separate perspective. We are related.
Sounds perfectly wonderful, that you received White Buffalo Medicine in your hunting, and the Blanket which means the weaving of the whole together. The white buffalo effigy and chanupa. I can see why the chanupa and buffalo effigy parted paths after they arrived, the two roads, blue the spiritual path of the soul, dark, and the red road, the physical laws of the flesh, light, because few can walk the united paths. This is the unification we seek all of us, to be the red and blue crossing and rise up and born again a new, the Morning Star in a time of the "Dawning", the third phase of evolution.
A different type of effigy is used in some religious rituals to represent an undesired person or spirit. The effigy is burned as a sign of the participants' shared intent to banish the represented element from their lives. (In Native Americans it is understood as a cleansing of the spirit, as well as a desired person or spirit, to give it honor.)
An "Effigy Mound" American Indian culture developed over 1,000 years ago placing thousands of earthen mounds across the landscape of what (today) includes parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. Over 200 mounds are preserved intact within the Monument; 31 are effigies in the shape of bears and birds - commemorating the passing of loved ones and the sacred beliefs of these ancient peoples.
Chanupa "Pipe Ceremony" (from the internet) Wohpea - White Buffalo Calf Woman brought the Sacred Pipe to the People and expounded on the 7 Ceremonies. The key here is that the Sacred Pipe was brought to the people Not the Medicine Folks, nor the leaders but the People.
The stone used by the Lakota and many other Peoples of The Plains is Pipe Stone, found only in one place for all the world it is the blood of all the ancestors that perished in the great flood.
Many folks when first exposed to this way of life get impatient to have a pipe of their own but caution would be best here. To understand the weight of this instrument, and is nothing to be taken lightly. It's said that the pipe can bless 7 generations or condemn 7 generations. To carry or keep a sacred pipe, takes commitment, takes one to be and walk brutally honesty. The spirits say we like to help, they also say don't make fools of us. Be careful of what you ask with this instrument, be careful on how you ask and your intent.
Maybe, you can tell us, the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, what the effigy looks like and the size of it. It would be a wonderful sharing for all. Yes my love, your White Buffalo Calf Woman is alive, and this is what makes you come home to my heart, as it has awakened you. Many are coming home now from all over the world, because it's simply time, as evolution calls upon those who will listen.
The spiritual relatives, who are contained in the effigy, have brought you here, like a messenger. And as an honored guest, by a Sundancer and pipe carrier, brings the heart to fruition, the expansion of the true blossom of love, within, to shine without. The mud and dirt is our holy ground, where we can run over rolling hills, and when we dance and sing, we carry honor. Please my love, the dance is sacred, and must be as such. Don't dance for money, dance for the Great Spirits instead. And if you receive goods, then treasure it, but the dance is for God, for all of us. The world depends on it, the Rainbow Clan. Be blessed when you dance and walk talk (wakan tankan), be unified in the soul and flesh, for we are children of the Great Spirits, the honor is for them, to be their treasures, when we follow the laws of love, the Red Road.
Preparing for vision quest this spring is great to hear, as you are on the path of the seeker. Yes, there is much for you to learn before you start carrying the Sacred Pipe, and when you have questions, please feel free to ask. On my page http://white-buffalo-calf-woman.blogspot.com on the right, there is a small pipe song, and the nine sacred directions, for all of us to observe

To the East and the West. To the north and the south. To the up and the down, to the sacred all around. To the heartbeat and Breath, I gift all my sacredness. I receive all my life for thee. I shall be forever in the breeze. 
Your Heart Songand I found another blog http://sacredpipesongs.blogspot.com/ which contains part of an extended pipe song, I sang, and if you want the other parts, I can go searching for it, but you will have to let me know. It's not that we have changed, it's just that we are entering realization of space and time. I am very pleased you have come to ask questions, and there is much to learn on the many sites, we offer. I can't keep up myself. When you have a question, please give me the url, to make sure I can update the page(s). At http://whitebuffalocalfwoman.ning.com, is also information, that I have yet to transfer over, and you can look there too. We have left there and moved to http://groups.google.com/group/whitebuffalocalfwoman
Wado (Cherokee influence), is a term I often see with Pueblo Natives. And as such are the ones, who shall lead the walk of the talk. The ordained are the Taos, New Mexico People, called the Blue Lake People. http://bluelakepeople.'Laughter - that is something very sacred especially for us Indians.'

You are the Violet person, high priest, voice and strength (army) of God, or doorkeeper into the light, from the darkness. This is the time, we need all be aware of as we collide with heaven (darkness) and earth (lightness), as we move from the second phase of evolution into the third phase. You really need to join us, to learn about the movement of the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy. Three arrows is the medicine of the people, because you are to teach joy, instead of sorrow, both carry tears. Tears or water, is the spirit of the soul, and need be practiced daily, and if you don't, you shall have pain and suffering instead of flowing inward joy, to be expressed outwardly.
Just talked with Lakota Grandmother Johanna Dives From the Sky, our Two Foot Club and she brings in the Lakota Woman perspective in, to bring the medicine for all the people of the four directions, as she has started a "War" against the break down of Lakota Spirituality. War is waged to unite two broken hearts, and the fight is the unification, not opposition. Sow my Brother it is vital, that we stand our ground on the song, the embrace of two hearts, first. And if this does not occur, then we cannot help those, who think they seek. Only those, who are willing to receive blessings, are willing to bow like the Rainbow, and this humility will lead the way. My Brother we kiss the earth, for she is our homeworld, the magic of the sacred Rainbow.
Thank you for sharing my Brother Jim Three Arrows, with the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, who have come home, for they too will hear your message, as they pray for your hunt, the sacred journey of a seeker. Ask your questions, I'll be here, and I will try to answer you, when the journey, allots the time. Don't forget url's, because I write hundreds of pages all the time, and I get lost, so if you could help me, I would be so happy, to respond. On the top of our blogs, there is a search box for the page, and a search within all the blogs. I hope this helps you, in your hunt.

A song for you, to long to shoo, meaning you have got to get some clues (hunt), the horse (soul) knows why, he has to spy (to look), on the flies, who hang around (and around, the evolution's call). For the smallest does know (wisest), the ever grow, the wisdom where Saints rely. It's amazing the words, that come out of you, is the reason, I sing to you.
What knowledge we do hold, the song, that is so bold, and the technology, cannot even surmise, for the soul does know, the everliving show, where wisdom accounts for miles high. Let's understand, the art of man, who comes to be the greatest show, the land of paradise, needs warriors who matter most, who we can always rely.
Sow let the Elk lead you, to hunt for a new breed, where the sun doesn't always shine, but knows when the light goes down in it's plight, then we dance, for the sun to rise again. And there we will be, the heaven's breeze, where the smoke and the pipe will claim the fame, of the most of the host, who can boast "I know the most", because I listened to the spirit in the skies.
I will put away shame, and bring joy to the game, where the heaven's will open up their eyes, for it's the heart of the coast, the everliving which gives the most, for it's the distant shore that calls my name....and shouts, "come home". It's the time of the gross (weight, not free), the magnetic stream, where we dream, and put arrows and knifes in our hopes. There we slice through the knots, and bring wisdom who shall lead us on, to a world, where ignorance dies again (freedom). We can claim once again, that we are the living sin (stand up for what is right, with unite, not separation because of plight, by saying I did wrong, but I will try to be strong, and next time, I shall do it right), but we are going to bee (impossible flight, to dream) better more than once (vision quests). And we dance and we sing, to bring it all back again, the sacred harmony, that keeps us alive.
Come and be the heart of me, where my longings are to believe, that I can be with you in a new way, it's God's life (I am). Dream away, shout hooray, and let peace overcome my heart. I will beg to see the sun, but it's got to be from me, inside the dark, where my light does grow and part. I shall bee (impossible flight), the living tree, where the star dreams and seas, and I shall gift my true wisdom and let it out (share visions and song, our heart).
Sung by White Buffalo Calf Woman, your Twin Deer Mother, for Jim Three Arrows, who cuts like a knife (bringing down ignorance) teaches us, how to overcome.
THE PIPE
Smoking was an important ritual as well as something done for pleasure. A man's pipe was one of his most favored and treasured possessions. The pipe would usually be made of Ash wood, a straight piece as long as a man's forearm. This was split in half, hollowed out and bound back together again. The mouthpiece would be wrapped in rawhide which was allowed to dry and shrink until it became as hard as wood. The bowl would be made from red pipe-stone, shaped and polished and given a final rubbing with buffalo tallow to seal the porous stone. The pipe would be decorated with the owners personal symbols, feathers or furs from the owners personal spirit helper, strips of buffalo hide and horse hair.
Particularly ceremonial pipes would always be adorned with four strips of buffalo hide dyed red, black, white and yellow, the colors of the four directions. Near the mouthpiece would be four braided strands of horsehair, again in the four sacred colors. Sometimes a strip of red paint ran from the bowl to the mouthpiece, symbolizing the good red road of spiritual understanding that was sought by all who smoked the pipe. Around the stem of the pipe was a small circle of black to represent the world of worldly cares. Where the black crossed the red was a spot of green representing the tree of life.
Where men met together a pipe would always be smoked formally before any talk took place. The smoking of the pipe was a ritual which bound all who partook of the pipe to telling the truth and keeping his word on anything said. The pipe would be offered by the host to the four directions, the earth and the sky. He would then pass it to the man on his left who smoked and passed it on to the man on his left and so on. It always went to the left as this was the direction the sun took or its journey around the world. The pipe would be filled with a mixture of dried willow bark, tobacco, grasses and herbs. If the mixture was finished before the pipe had gone full circle the pipe would be tapped and cleaned, the ashes emptied into the fire. Upon refilling the pipe, it would again be offered as before, then it would continue it's way around the circle as before. The smoke from the pipe was believed to carry the words of man upwards to the Great Spirit and all men who smoked the pipe were united spiritually.
After the formal smoking of the pipe the talk would begin and each man would then light his own pipe and smoke through the conversation. Pipes were usually long but if a man had suffered some fall from grace or shame then he was expected to smoke a short stemmed pipe. One way to greatly insult a man was to clean out your pipe and empty the ashes over his moccasins.
