The following was sent to me by my
brother-in-law, Joe Marszalek, and I thought it would be appropriate for
this page. At this point I don't know where it came from but there are
some credits at the bottom.
Hopi Prophecy
The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will
come when a "Kachina" removes his mask during a dance in the
plaza before uninitiated children [the general public]. 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. 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 [as described in SW-II, Effects and Coming Events # 1]. 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."
The Hopi and others who were saved from
the Great Flood made a sacred covenant with the Great Spirit never to
turn away from him. He made a set of sacred stone tablets, called Tiponi,
into which he breathed his teachings, prophecies, and warnings. Before
the Great Spirit hid himself again, he placed before the leaders of the
four different racial groups four different colors and sizes of corn;
each was to choose which would be their food in this world. The Hopi
waited until last and picked the smallest ear of corn. At this, the
Great Spirit said:
"It is well done. You have obtained
the real corn, for all the others are imitations in which are hidden
seeds of different plants. You have shown me your intelligence; for this
reason I will place in your hands these sacred stone tablets, Tiponi,
symbol of power and authority over all land and life to guard, protect,
and hold in trust for me until I shall return to you in a later day, for
I am the First and I am the Last."
The Great Chieftain of the Bow Clan led
the faithful ones to this new land, but he fell into evil ways. His two
sons scolded him for his mistake, and after he died they assumed the
responsibilities of leadership. Each brother was given a set of Tiponi,
and both were instructed to carry them to a place to which the Great
Spirit directed them. The elder brother [of the shining light] was told
to go immediately to the east, toward the rising sun, and upon reaching
his destination to start back immediately to look for his younger
brother, who remained on Turtle Island [the Continental United States of
America]. His mission was to help his younger brother to bring about the
Purification Day, at which time all evildoers would be punished or
destroyed, after which real peace, brotherhood, and everlasting life
would be established. The elder brother would restore all land to his
younger brother, from whom the Evil one among the white men had taken
it. The elder brother [of the shining light] also would come to look for
the Tiponi tablets and fulfill the mission given him by the Great
Spirit.
The younger brother was instructed to
travel throughout the land and mark his footsteps as he went about. Both
brothers were told that a great white star would appear in the sky; when
that happened, all people would know that the elder brother had reached
his destination. Thereupon all people were to settle wherever they
happened to be at that time, there to remain until the elder brother
returned.
The Hopi settled in the area now known as
Four Corners, where the state lines of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and
Colorado meet. They lived in humble simplicity and the land produced
abundant crops. This area is the "heart" of Turtle Island [the
U.S.] and of Mother Earth, and it is the microcosmic image of the
macrocosm of the entire planet. Each Hopi clan perpetuates a unique
ceremony, and the ceremonies together maintain the balance of natural
forces of sunlight, rain and winds, and reaffirm the Hopi respect for
all life and trust in the Great Spirit.
The Hopi were told that after a time White
Men would come and take their land and try to lead the Hopi into evil
ways. But in spite of all the pressures against them, the Hopi were told
they must hold to their ancient religion and their land, though always
without violence. If they succeeded, they were promised that their
people and their land would be a center from which the True Spirit would
be reawakened.
It is said that after many years the elder
brother might change the color of his skin, but his hair will remain
black. He will have the ability to write, and he will be the only person
able to read the Tiponi. When he returns to find his younger brother,
the Tiponi will be placed side by side to show all the world that they
are true brothers. Then great judgment will take place, for the elder
will help the younger brother to obtain real justice for all Indian
brothers who have been cruelly mistreated by the white man since he came
to Turtle Island.
The transformed elder brother, the True
White Brother, will wear a red cloak or a red cap, similar to the
pattern on the back of a horned toad. He will bring no religion but his
own, and will bring with him the Tiponi tablets. He will be
all-powerful; none will be able to stand against him. He will come
swiftly, and in one day gain control of this entire continent. It is
said, "If he comes from the East, the destruction will not be so
bad. But if he comes from the West, do not get up on your housetops to
see because he will have no mercy."
The True White Brother will bring with him
two great, intelligent and powerful helpers, one of whom will have a
sign of a swastika (a masculine symbol of purity), and the sign of the
sun. The second great helper will have the sign of a celtic cross with
red lines (representing female life blood) between the arms of the
cross.
When the Great Purification is near, these
helpers will shake the earth first for a short time in preparation.
After they shake the earth two times more, they will be joined by the
True White Brother, who will become one with them and bring the
Purification Day to the world. All three will help the "younger
brother" (the Hopi and other pure-hearted people) to make a better
world. In the prophecies, the two helpers are designated by the Hopi
word for "population," as if they were large groups of people.
The Hopi were warned that if these three
great beings failed, terrible evil would befall the world and great
numbers of people would be killed. However, it was said that they would
succeed if enough Hopi remained true to the ancient spirit of their
people. The True White Brother and his helpers will show the people of
earth a great new life plan that will lead to everlasting life. The
earth will become new and beautiful again, with an abundance of life and
food. Those who are saved will share everything equally. All races will
intermarry and speak one tongue and be a family.
Hopi prophecy states that World War III
will be started by the people who first received the Light -- China,
Palestine, India and Africa. When the war comes, the United States will
be destroyed by "gourds of ashes" which will fall to the
ground, boiling the rivers and burning the earth, where no grass will
grow for many years, and causing a disease that no medicine can cure.
This can only mean nuclear or atomic bombs; no other weapon causes such
effects. Bomb shelters will be useless, for "Those who are at peace
in their hearts already are in the Great Shelter of Life. There is no
shelter for evil. When the Saquahuh (blue Star) Kachina dances in the
plaza and removes his mask, the time of the great trial will be
here." The Hopi believe that only they will be saved.
The Hopi also have prophesied that
"Turtle Island could turn over two or three times and the oceans
could join hands and meet the sky." This seems to be a prophecy of
a "pole shift" -- a flipping, of the planet on its axis. The
Hopi call this imminent condition -- and that of society today -- "Koyaanisqatsi",
which means "world out of balance...a state of life that calls for
another way. "
The following extraordinary Hopi prophecy
was first published in a mimeographed manuscript that circulated among
several Methodist and Presbyterian churches in 1959. Some of the
prophecies were published in 1963 by Frank Waters in The Book of the
Hopi. The account begins by describing how, while driving along a desert
highway one hot day in the summer of 1958, a minister named David Young
stopped to offer a ride to an Indian elder, who accepted with a nod.
After riding in silence for several minutes, the Indian said:
"I am White Feather, a Hopi of the
ancient Bear Clan. In my long life I have traveled through this land,
seeking out my brothers, and learning from them many things full of
wisdom. I have followed the sacred paths of my people, who inhabit the
forests and many lakes in the east, the land of ice and long nights in
the north, and the places of holy altars of stone built many years ago
by my brothers' fathers in the south. From all these I have heard the
stories of the past, and the prophecies of the future. Today, many of
the prophecies have turned to stories, and few are left -- the past
grows longer, and the future grows shorter.
"And now White Feather is dying. His
sons have all joined his ancestors, and soon he too shall be with them.
But there is no one left, no one to recite and pass on the ancient
wisdom. My people have tired of the old ways -- the great ceremonies
that tell of our origins, of our emergence into the Fourth World, are
almost all abandoned, forgotten, yet even this has been foretold. The
time grows short.
"My people await Pahana, the lost
White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our brothers in the land. He
will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. we
were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.
"He will bring with him the symbols,
and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders,
given to him when he left, that shall identify him as our True White
Brother.
"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
are 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 men
who struck their enemies with thunder.
"This is the Second Sign: Our
lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his
youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white
men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."
"This is the Third Sign: A
strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the
land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the
coming of the white men's cattle."
"This is the Fourth Sign: The
land will be crossed by snakes of iron."
"This is the Fifth Sign: The
land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."
"This is the Sixth sign: The
land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in
the sun."
"This is the Seventh Sign: You
will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because
of it."
"This is the Eight Sign: You
will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and
join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
"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 my people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great
destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man
will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who
possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke
and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the
deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and
a great dying. Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be
safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people also 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 their hearts.
Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the
Emergence into the Fifth World.
"But White Feather shall not see it.
I am old and dying. You -- perhaps will see it. In time, in
time..."
The old Indian fell silent. They had
arrived at his destination, and Reverend David Young stopped to let him
out of the car. They never met again. Reverend Young died in 1976, so he
did not live to see the further fulfillment of this remarkable prophecy.
The signs are interpreted as follows: The
First Sign is of guns. The Second Sign is of the pioneers' covered
wagons. The Third Sign is of longhorn cattle. The Fourth Sign describes
the railroad tracks. The Fifth Sign is a clear image of our electric
power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign describes concrete highways
and their mirage-producing effects. The Seventh Sign foretells of oil
spills in the ocean. The Eighth Sign clearly indicates the "Hippy
Movement" of the 1960s. The Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station
Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. According to Australian
eye-witnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.
Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing
should be brought back from the Moon -- obviously anticipating the
Apollo 11 mission that returned with samples of lunar basalt. It this
was 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.
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.
In 1959, a six-man delegation of
traditional Hopi leaders led by the late spiritual leader, Dan
Katchongva, traveled to the United Nations Building in New York to
fulfill a sacred mission in accordance with ancient Hopi instructions.
Because of their prophetic knowledge, the Hopi leaders felt it was time
to go east to the edge of their motherland, where "a house of
mica" [The United Nations building] would stand at this time, where
Great Leaders from many lands would be gathered to help any people who
are in trouble."
They were to go when the motherland of the
Hopi and other Indian brothers were about to be taken away from them and
their way of life was in danger of being completely destroyed by evil
ones among the White Men and by some other Indian brothers who were
influenced by the White Race. This is a clear and present danger: the
betrayal of Indian-U.S.A. treaties, land sales, and coal and uranium
mining are destroying the Hopi land and its people -- and all other
peoples and lands, in eventual effect...
According to prophecy, at least one, two
or three leaders or nations would hear and understand the Hopi warnings,
as "It is told that they too should know these ancient
instructions". Upon hearing the message of the Hopi, they would act
immediately to correct many wrongs being done to the chosen race -- the
Red Man who was granted permission to hold in trust all land and life
for the Great Spirit. This prophecy would seem to have failed. Hopi
prophecy also declares that the doors of the "Glass House"
would be closed to them. This was the case at first, though they have
delivered their message to the United Nations Assembly since then:
"When the Great Leaders in the Glass
House refuse to open the door to you when you stand before it that day,
[Repeated, again in 1993] do not be discouraged or turn about on the
path you walk, but take courage, determination, and be of great
rejoicing in your hearts, for on that day the White Race who are on your
land with you have cut themselves from you and thereon lead themselves
to the Greatest Punishment at the Day of Purification. Many shall be
destroyed for their sins and evil ways. The Great Spirit has decreed it
and no one can stop it, change it, or add anything to it. It shall be
fulfilled!"
On August 7, 1970, a spectacular UFO
sighting was witnessed by dozens of people and photographed by Chuck
Roberts of the Prescott (Arizona)"Courier". This sighting
occurred after a "UFO calling" by Paul Solem and several Hopi
Indians. This sighting was interpreted by some Hopis as being a partial
fulfillment of a certain Hopi prophecy given by the Great Spirit Maasau
and 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."
Hopi prophecy also tells us that there
will be a mass migration of Indians northward from Mexico and Central
and South America. The migration will be led by a 130-year old Indian
named Etchata Etchana. The movement will come after the huge fire and
explosion that will herald the advent of the True White Brother.
According to Hopi belief, the survivors of
the Great Deluge thousands of years ago split up into four groups that
moved north, south, east and west. Only one group completed their
journey -- to the North Pole and back -- under the guidance of a
brilliant "star" in which the Great Spirit Maasau traveled.
When he landed, he drew a petroglyph on Second Mesa, showing a maiden
(with the traditional "butterfly" hair arrangement) 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 prophecy also warns that there will be
three divisions among the Hopi The first division was in 1906 between
the Traditionalists and the Modernists. The Traditionalists were forced
to leave Oraibi and move to Hotevilla. The second division took place in
the wake of the spectacular appearance of UFOs in August, 1970.
PROPHECY ROCK
Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a
petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symbolizes many Hopi prophecies.
Its interpretation is:
The large human figure on the left is the
Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to
the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of
the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at
which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.
The "life path" established by
the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life
in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific
achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming
of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the
cross represents the continuous Path of Life.
The four small human figures on the upper
road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on
another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel
the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour.
The two circles on the lower Path of Life
are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two).
The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers
of Pahana, the True White Brother.
The short line that returns to the
straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to
nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates. The small
circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great
Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the
Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...
The Hopi shield in the lower right corner
symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been
reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in
which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit.
The dots represent the four colors of Hopi
corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.
