Precession

From their stars reflected on sacred mountain tops,
the Kachinas hear the call
and come to visit the human tribes.
Invisible messenger spirits on the Road of Life,
they are the beings of Before and After.
They bring us glimpses of the larger cycles:
Altair-Aquila, Kachina of the Tokpela West.
El Tanin-Draco, Kachina of the Tokpa South.
Almach-Andromeda, Kachina of the Kuskurza East.
Merope-Pleiades, Kachina of the Tuwaqochi North.
Four worlds have passed,
four schools of learning.
The Great Cycle Wheel spins its spiraling gifts.
During the vision quest, you stand at Hub.
Now, you are the Precession,
pregnant with the fifth world.
