For many years I have heard of the Hopi people and their mysterious ways. They are known as the peaceful tribe and have never waged war on their fellow natives.
One day I knew I would meet them and start a journey that would last a life-time.
My first trip to Hopi land was in 1995. I went to Sedona and met Sakina Blue Star, an amazing women who had a close relationship with the Hopis. I asked her if she could take me there and she agreed.
We traveled the barren road to the 3 sacred mesas where the Hopi live. I was beginning to learn the Red Road and knew this trip was going to be a blessing.
Sakina took me to her friend Rowina Jackson, a Hopi women who created Shakina Dolls. We had an amazing talk about the ways of their people and I learned many secrets in this trip. I ended up buying one of her Shakina Dolls that I still have on my alter today. But most important I was gifted a small Eagle chest Feather. It was an honor and sacred gift I would cherish and understand much later in life.
On my return back to Miami I started doing research about the Hopi and knew in my heart they had a gift for Prophecy and one day their warnings to the world would come true.
Then in 1996 I went to Washington, DC for the One Prayer Gathering (www.oneprayer.org ) This was a gathering of Elders and a sacred fire that lasted 3 days. The event was powerful and seeing teepees surrounding the Huge Obalisk on the Mall was a vision to keep. To my surprise a Hopi Elder named Thomas Banyacya was one of the key note speakers. He was a quiet humble man…few words spoken but when he spoke you could feel the ancestors with him.
I took many photos of him as you can see on this web. He spoke of the Prophecies and was one of the three main Hopi Elders who had gone to the UN in 1992 to give a message of peace. What was also incredible was he had the Hopi Sacred Map. It was old and had the some petroglyths from the Sacred Hopi Rock near the Mesas. We had a private meeting with him at a friend of mine house named Barbara Carpenter. He explained the map and how one day the world could go into war and confusion or start a new world of peace and harmony. It all depended on us!
As I looked at this map, my mind went back to the Sacred Rock where one year earlier I was standing there in awe looking at the mystery of Prophecy.
Thomas was also staying at Barbara’s house and he seemed tired, as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders. Barbara knew I was a healer and asked, “Why don’t you do a healing on him.” I said it would be an honor. To my surprise when I started to do the healing on Thomas, his animal spirit guides appeared. What a shock to see the wolf, eagle and bear…watching me.
As I did the healing I found myself in a trance. I started to chant in an Indian voice and could not control what I was singing. It was a very powerful and emotional experience and something I would never forget.
I will never forget my dear brother Thomas who passed to the spirit world in 1999.
He had a powerful message to share, a warning for the people.
He gave his life to his people…blessed are those who had a chance to meet him.
We also have a message to share. In time all will be revealed. Join us on this magical adventure. I promise your life will never be the same.

Hello
I am writing from France.
Excuse me, I do not speak very good English!
I am writing for your help because I organize a trip in April 2011 in the Sedona area and I would like to spend two days (and night) with a Hopi tribe and two days (and night) with a Navajo tribe .
This is not a tourist travel but as I organize a journey of initiation, based on spirituality. With my group we have worked with the Lacandon and Hunbatz Men in Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, England with the Druids and the Crop Circles. And I work for 10 years with the Crystal Skulls (I pressed this on this trip with my crystal skull which is called: Sirius – it is life-size)
I do not want to make a “tour” as I could find on the Internet for tourism. But getting a real job with the energies Hopi & Navajo. Make a ceremony with them and the Sacred Fire (and my crystal skull) share their lives and their teaching during these two days.
I hope you can help me by sending me details of good people to continue the spiritual work that we begin: the universe is all for the better!
Thank you in advance and waiting for you to read,
Light in your heart

grateful to find this site.
and to re-connect with Thomas Banyacya -in spirit- in whose presence I had the honor to be in and to hear speak and present the Hopi Prophecy, in a small gathering in Denver, about 1974. It touched my life then, and now again.
Tlazokamatli for sharing, yet somehow I feel everyday I reflect on the time Thomas Banyacya and Grandfather David appeared together in Chicago to share for the first and only time their people’s prophecy. The details they provided I’ve never seen discussed on any internet video, nor even explained in books or article that I have read concerning the Hopi and our planet, its creatures and especially the humans.
This was way back in 1972, I believe when Hopi elders opened their voices/hearts to explain the symbols in-depth. The example I can clearly recall is the “zig-zag” line at the top of the “prophecy rock” it was stated that was the “whites’ stock market” they presented in both a calm and serious manner as well with humor and had a rattle and song about the “zig-zag path” they showed us blue corn flakes and offered us a chance to learn more about our people’s food. The posting from the French person wanting to do her/his skull ceremony without seeming like a tourist, still seems kinda “over the line”, I know there’s MUCH more than meets the normal eye in our plane of life that’s why I accept your telling of the spirits and song. I do not want to “judge” the French person, yet I did. Maybe because its Sedona? Anyway, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and we are inside it now, thanks again for your light along the path.
