As you wind your way through the prophecies on this site and
those you may find elsewhere, you would do well to pay particular
attention to the accuracy of those of the Hopi People. Their prophecies
are not written in obscure, archaic language, hidden away in dusty
tomes. Hopi Elders pass these warnings to the next generations through
word of mouth and with reference to ancient rock drawings and tablets,
keeping track of those that have been fulfilled and paying close
attention to warning signs.
The following portion is from The
Book of the Hopi by Frank Waters. This tidbit of Hopi
prophecy, probably the only portion shared with whites at the
time, has been reproduced many, many times and is usually the
first glimpse of Hopi Prophecy that one encounters when researching
the subject.
"The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a Kachina
removes his mask during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children.
For a while there will be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then
Oraibi will be rejuvenated with its faith and ceremonies, marking
the start of a new cycle of Hopi life.
"World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed
the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries
(India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa). The United States will be
destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only
the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which
refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only
materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at
peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There
is no shelter for evil. Those who take no part in the making of world
division by ideology are ready to resume life in another world, be
they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brothers.
"The war will be 'a spiritual conflict with material matters.
Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain
to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator.'
"That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh
(Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He
represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make
its appearance soon. [Some Hopi spokespersons suggest that Hale-Bopp
is the Blue Star.] The time is foretold by a song sung during the
Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War I, and
again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption,
and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the
same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961
during the Wuwuchim ceremony.
"The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being
made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities.
'You can read this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous
worlds are beginning to spring up as seeds. This could start a new
study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The same
kinds of seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds
of seeds are being planted in our hearts. All these are the same,
depending how you look at them. That is what makes the Emergence
to the next, Fifth World.'
"These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis,
connected with the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous
worlds on which we lived, the present Fourth World, the three future
worlds we have yet to experience, and the world of Taiowa, the Creator,
and his nephew, Sotuknang."

Book of the Hopi by Frank Waters]

"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will
begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years
have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
"This is the First Sign: We were told of the coming of the
white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana -- men
who took the land that was not theirs and who struck their enemies
with thunder. (Guns)
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of
spinning wheels filled with voices. (Covered wagons)
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but
with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. (Longhorn
cattle)
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes
of iron. (Railroad tracks)
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by
a giant spider's web. (Power and telephone lines)
"This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with
rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun. (Concrete roads and
their mirage-producing effects.)
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning
black, and many living things dying because of it. (Oil spills)
"This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth, who wear
their hair long like our people, come and join the tribal nations,
to learn our ways and wisdom. (Hippies)
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place
in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash.
It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies
of the Hopi people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is here: The world
shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle people in other
lands -- those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will
be many columns of smoke and fire such as the white man has made
in the deserts not far from here. Those who stay and live in the
places of the Hopi shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild.
And soon, very soon afterward, Pahana will return. He shall bring
with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of
his wisdom in our hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These
shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World."
Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing should be brought back
from the Moon. If this were done, the Hopi warned, the balance of
natural and universal laws and forces would be disturbed, resulting
in earthquakes, severe changes in weather patterns, and social unrest.
All these things are happening today, though of course not necessarily
because of Moon rocks.
On August 7, 1970, a spectacular UFO sighting was witnessed by dozens
of people and photographed by Chuck Roberts of the Prescott Courier.
This occurred after a "UFO calling" by several Hopi Indians
and was interpreted by some Hopis as being a partial fulfillment
of a certain inscribed on Second Mesa, warning of the coming of Purification
Day, when the true Hopi will be flown to other planets in "ships
without wings."
The survivors of the Great Deluge thousands of years ago split up
into four groups that moved in all four directions. Only one group
completed their journey -- to the North Pole and back -- under the
guidance of a brilliant "star" in which the Great Spirit
Massau'u traveled. Upon landing, he drew a petroglyph on Second Mesa,
showing a maiden riding in a wingless, dome-shaped craft. The petroglyph
signified the coming Day of Purification when the true Hopi will
fly to other planets in "ships without wings."
The Hopi also predicted that when the heart of the Hopi land
trust is dug up, great disturbances will develop in the balance of
nature, for the Hopi holy land is the microcosmic image of the entire
planet; any violations of nature in the Four Corners region will
be reflected and amplified all over the Earth.
Martin Gasheseoma said recently that Hopi "elders told us that
when the plants blossom in the middle of winter, we would need to
go to Santa Fe to warn everyone of suffering and destruction to come
unless they change their ways. Last year, in the middle of winter
the plants began to blossom."
How much suffering and destruction will accompany the time of the
purification, and what will be its end result? Martin Gasheseoma
foretells judgment in front of a big mirror and death to those
who are evil and wicked, with only a handful of people surviving
in every nation overseas who will then come to this continent, "which
we call heaven."
"All the suffering going on in this country with the tornadoes,
floods, and earthquakes is carried on the breath of Mother Earth
because she is in pain," says Roberta Blackgoat, an elder of
the Independent Dineh (Navajo) Nation at Big Mountain. She explains
that the Four Corners area is particularly sacred because it literally
holds Mother Earth's internal organs -- coal and uranium which the
Bureau of Indian Affairs has allowed the Peabody Coal Mine to mine. "They
are trying to take her precious guts out for money," says Blackgoat. "My
grandfather told me that coal is like the liver, and uranium is both
the heart and lungs of Mother Earth." Hopi and Navajo traditionalists
are fighting the mining.
These life and death matters will be determined when Pahana returns,
and theories abound as to Pahana's identity. Since Pahana has also
been called the White Brother, and since he is to return from
the east, Hopi of past centuries wondered whether he could have been
a Spaniard or an Anglo and devised tests for determining the true
Pahana, including knowledge of the greeting of brotherhood, similarities
of religious beliefs, and possession of the missing piece of the
stone tablet. Many were tested, including Catholics, Baptists, and
Mormons, but none passed to the satisfaction of traditional Hopi.

Hopi Survival Kit by Thomas E. Mails & Chief Dan
Evehema]
"The time will come when from the earth will arise a mystic
fog which will dilute the minds and hearts of all people. Their guidelines
of wisdom and knowledge will falter, the Great Laws of our Creator
will dissolve in the minds of people. Children will be out of control
and will no longer obey the leaders, immorality and the competitive
war of greed will flourish.
"When the end is near, we will see a halo of mist around the
heavenly bodies. Four times it will appear around the sun as a warning
that we must reform, telling us that people of all color must unite
and arise for survival, and that we must uncover the causes of our
dilemmas. Unless man-made weapons are used to strike first, peace
will then come.
"So the time will come when we will experience late springs
and early frosts, this will be the sign of the returning Ice Age.
"We believe militarism is born out of injustice, poverty and
ignorance where absolute governments refuse to hear the grievances
of minorities. So the people resort to violence, demonstrations and
even terrorism when they see no other way to be heard. What can we
do when our world leaders and the people are acting like fools in
attempts to solve the problems confronting us? Once again we will
quote the prophecy of our Elders. We hope it will interest you so
that you will be more aware of it because it has been happening for
some time.
"According to prophecy, the day will come when people in high
places will be hunted. This will get out of control. The hunting
will gather strength and spread. This situation might even erupt
on our land. Finally, this will lead us to the Biblical version of
Armageddon (the Hopi version is closely related). A final decisive
battle between good and evil. This will occur under one God or Chief.
The prophets say we will speak one language and that this will happen
in Hopiland, in the village of Oraibi , where the new life plan will
be drawn, in the pattern and cycle of religion. Here also a final
decision will be made for the wicked. They will be beheaded and speak
no more. If this does not materialize there will be a total destruction
through the acts of man or nature. Then new life will begin from
a girl and a boy. This is a frightening prophecy and will not be
supported by many.
"It is in the prophecies of the Hopi that in a case like this
the Navajo may help our cause. Also the Bahannas or the Paiute Tribe
may help. We doubt that the U.S. Government will easily concede our
sovereignty.
"There are two water serpents, one at each pole with a warrior
sitting on his head and tail. These command nature to warn us by
her activities that time is getting short, and we must correct ourselves.
If we refuse to heed these warnings, the warriors will let go of
the serpents; they will rise up, and all will perish.
"We are much concerned about the climate. No one seems to be
able to predict the weather accurately from day to day. However,
we know according to our time markers that it is past due for certain
seeds to be planted at their proper time. In recent springs, we were
reluctant to plant due to the late snow and cold weather. Once more
maybe our ancient prophecy is right, that one day we will plant wearing
finger sacks (gloves) clearing away snow with our feet before planting.
The summers will become shorter for maturing the corn for harvest.
The result is anybody's guess.
"The question is, will this occur the world over? This would
depend on the geographical areas. In the regions with different climates,
things will happen in different ways. For instance, tropical land
could become a land of ice, and the Arctic region could become tropical.
This need not happen if we, the people, get our leaders to do something
about the harmful things being done to the environment.
"It is said that, if the future generations find out that we
did nothing to preserve the good ways, they might throw us from our
houses into the streets. This suffering will be of our own making.
The lack of peace in our own spiritual being could trigger the revolution.
Our True White Brother might come and find we have forsaken the sacred
instructions. Then he will whip us without mercy.
"Let us take a look into the future through the eyes of our
prophets. Hopi were instructed to tell of the Great Purification
just ahead of a time when Humankind would once again become highly
civilized, tending to become careless and leading us to self-destruction.
They said that, along the way, the industrialized world will have
certain problems. People will be uncomfortable because of the changing
times, and they will have to make adjustments to find new life styles.
"Industrialized nations will become careless in getting more
the resources out of the earth. Believing all these things will last
forever, soon natural resources will be depleted. Fuel shortages
will occur; industrial machinery will come to a standstill. The machinery
used for planting, harvesting and transport will become useless.
Supermarket shelves will become empty of farm produce. The farmers
and those who grow their own food will not sell their produce. Money
will become worthless. The white man with all his intelligence and
technology will not be able to repair the damage. We will see extraordinary
events in Nature and Earth, including humans.
"Modern man looks upon old wisdom and knowledge as dead, useless
and no longer respected. Modern man depends on the money system and
no longer on Mother Earth for food. According to prophecy when this
happens Mother Earth will hide her nourishment because of the view
that ancient food is poor man's food. When all food disappears, modern
man will try to correct his mistake, the conditions he caused upon
the earth through his inventions. He will try to achieve some kind
of method to heal the wound, but this will not be possible when we
reach the point of no return.
"The Hopi play a key role in the survival of the human race
through their vital communion with the unseen forces that hold nature
in balance. The pattern is simple: The whole world will shake and
turn red and turn against those who are hindering the Hopi.
"This prophecy is related to the Biblical version of that which
may yet come to pass. It goes on to say that common people will become
concerned and frustrated because of their hectic world. They will
be particularly against the bloodthirsty policies and the deceitfulness
of the world leaders. The common people the world over will band
together to fight for world peace. They will realize that their leaders
have failed. People in high places will be hunted down like animals,
perhaps through terrorism. In turn leaders will retaliate and begin
hunting each other. This condition will gather strength and spread
far and wide. It will get out of control the world over. Revolution
could erupt on our land.
"The liberators will come in from the west with great force.
They will drop down from the sky like rain. They will have no mercy.
We must not get on the house tops to watch. They will shake us by
our ears, like children who have been bad. This will be the final
decisive battle between good and evil. This battle will cleanse the
heart of people and restore our Mother Earth from illness, and the
wicked will be gotten rid of.
"If this fails to materialize, our Great Creator through nature
will do the task according to their [sic] plans. It could be total
destruction in any form. Only brother and sister will survive to
begin a new way of life. This prophecy is frightening and doubtful.
Perhaps it is of no value to most people.
"Eventually a gourd full of ashes would be invented, which,
if dropped from the sky, would boil the oceans and burn the land
causing nothing to grow for many years. This would be the sign for
a certain Hopi to bring out the teachings in order to warn the world
that the third and final event would happen soon and could bring
an end to all life unless people correct themselves and their leaders
in time.
"The final stage, called The Great Day of Purification, has
been described as a Mystery Egg in which the forces of the Swastika
and the Sun plus a third force symbolized by the color red culminate
either in total rebirth or total annihilation; we don't know which.
But the choice is yours; war and natural catastrophe may be involved.
The degree of violence will be determined by the degree of inequity
caused among the peoples of the world and in the balance of nature.
In this crisis rich and poor will be forced to struggle as equals
in order to survive.
"The reality that it will be very violent is now almost taken
for granted among Traditional Hopi, but man still may lessen the
violence by correcting his treatment of nature and fellow man. Ancient,
spiritually based communities, such as the Hopi, must especially
be preserved and not forced to abandon their wise way of life and
the natural resources they have vowed to protect.
"The man-made system now destroying the Hopi is deeply involved
in similar violations throughout the world. The devastating reversal
predicted in the prophecies is part of the natural order. If those
who thrive from that system, its money and its laws, can manage to
stop destroying the Hopi then many may be able to survive the Day
of Purification and enter a new age of peace. But if no one is left
to continue the Hopi way, the hope for such an age is in vain.
"Since mankind has lost peace with one another through conflict
due to the new ways, the Great Spirit, the Great Creator, has punished
the people in many ways. Through all of this there was always a small
group who survived to keep the original ways of life alive. This
small group is comprised of those who adhere to the laws of the Creator,
who keep the spiritual path open, out from the circle of evil. According
to our knowledge we are not quite out of the circle.
"Now we enter the time of testing that only the Great Creator
can confirm. The alignment of the planets, we were so kindly informed
of by the star watchers has been awaited by the Hopi. As the time
nears, the predicted behavior of the people accurately describes
the behavior of people in the 1990's. When the end is near, we will
see a halo of mist around the heavenly bodies. Four times it will
appear around the sun as a warning that we MUST reform.
"Ambitious minds will decrease, while the people of good hearts,
who live in harmony with the earth, will increase until the earth
is rid of evil. If the Hopi are right, this will be accomplished
and the earth will bloom again. The spiritual door is open. Why not
join the righteous people? The Horny Toad Woman gave Massau'u a promise
that she would help him in time of need, saying she too had a metal
helmet. After the Hopi have fulfilled their pattern of life, Massau'u
will be the leader, but not before, for He is the First and He shall
be the Last."
