Each and every one on our Earth has a responsibility to be a priest ! Each and every person has the responsibility for his or her own spirituality! We can not make you this or that , we can only teach and hope to build this up in you!We have been given tobacco . We have been given the pipe. Use them! We will teach those of you who want to do a morning ceremony how to do it in hopes that it will bring you closer to Creator and creation!May the Creator be with us.

I usually burn some sage to cleans myself beforehand. I stand and face North. Pinch of tababcco in my hand I hold it up to the sky, I thank the Creator for what he has given me this day.  Then throw the tobacco toward the north and then turn toward the north tobacco in hand and honor the north in the same way.   >>>>>>>>>>	To the North power I honor you for the things you bring into my life intensity and clearity of mind and I honor you with tobacco.( throw a pinch of tobacco towards the north)  >>>>>>>	I turn and face the East .Holding tobacco in my outstreched hand I Honor the east in the same manner. \/ \/ \/ \/
