Who, Or What, Are The Thunder Beings?
 
 
 
The Thunder Beings speak of the Divine Union, the marriage or relationship between the male and female in each and everyone of us. This marriage creates usable energy and enhances our natural growth potential.

The Thunder Beings make up the love call of the Sky Nation. The lightening bolts or fire sticks, are a rare gift from Father Sky to his lover, Mother Earth. The Thunderers who accompany a storm carry the mating call that announces the Divine Union of Earth and Sky. The Thunder Beings are the host of lovers who give energy to the Earth Mother.

The Thunder Chief proclaims the beauty of the love between Father Sky and Mother Earth. The Fire Sticks create a bridge between the two lovers and are a physical expression for their love for one another. Through this intricate mating dance, the Earth Mother is re-energized so that life may continue through the nurturing rains who feed her body.

Since the Earth is magnetic, she needs the electric energy supplied by the Thunder Beings. The Rain People recycle the moisture of Sky World and give back to the Earth Mother so that her body may feed all the things green and growing. It is the cloak of Father Sky that covers the Earth Mother in a mantle of blue each day, and the Cloud People manifest his love for her every day when they form and the thoughts of their combined ideas take shape. It is the Hail-lo-way-ain, or the Language of Love in Seneca that Father Sky speaks to the Earth Mother.

When Mother Earth needs the love and warmth of GrandFather Sun to support the needs of her children, we see thunderstorms, lightening, rain, as their bodies dance the Sacred Dance of the Divine Union.  The Thunder Chief calls out in the Hail-lo-way-ain, the ancient language of love, for the Earth Mother to prepare herself for her bridegroom....the Fire Medicine, the passion, that comes between them, is the Fire Sticks, the lightning that returns needed energy to the Earth Mother. This act of love between Father and Mother can be gentle and tender, or torrid and passionate. This lovemaking is experienced as climatic shifts and weather changes by the Children of the Earth.

Floods and fires, hailstorms and tornadoes, hurricanes and typhoons are the freedom of nature. In every case it is the fulfillment of our Earth Mother's needs and must be looked at from the viewpoint of the greatest good for all living creatures. Great Mystery has a hand in all acts of the Universe and this world and each act supports the need for growth and change.

 

Calling Upon The Thunder Beings

 

The Thunder Beings are mighty teachers of change and renewal. They are powerful medicine and should not be called upon lightly.

The Thunder Beings bring us the raw energy we need to renew and change, reshape our lives. We humans are Catalyzers, electromagnetic bodies, receiving and giving energy. We are the bridge that connects Earth and Sky when we are in harmony.

Like Mother Earth and Father Sky, we are both male and female in nature. The command of usable energy comes when male and female are in balance within us. By asking the Thunder Beings to assist us in tapping into this raw energy and utilizing it creatively, we learn how to reshape and renew, creatively grow and change.

When one comes to the Thunder Beings to seek assistance, one must come in humbleness and humility, with the intent of being an empty vessel or channel through which the energy may flow through us to be used as we need, but also to return to the Earth Mother once it is no longer needed, as we receive, we must give back as well.

It is in using the language of love, the Hail-lo-way-ain, that we learn to walk in balance and to love ourselves, as well...the male and female of us each. It is only in loving ourselves, bringing the male and female side of each of us, into harmony that we can begin to walk in Beauty on the Earth Mother. The Thunder Beings can show us the way, but we must remember that what we take, we must give back threefold as well, and that what we do now on this plane will affect 7 generations of our children and our children's children.

To take without gratitude or acknowledgment is imbalance. To give too much to others without replenishing the self is imbalance. To wait for energy to come to us without actively seeking what we need is imbalance.

The Thunder Beings teach us this balance, there is neither hoarding, misuse, neglect, leaking or denying the energy from Father Sky to Mother Earth. When her need is fulfilled, the storm is ended. When she requires more rain and energy, then Father Sky sends the Fire Sticks with the Thunder Beings to replenish his bride. This then is the circle of the Creative Life-force that naturally flows between us the Original Source, Great Mystery. Use it properly or lose it.

First, energy is neither good nor evil..it just is...its all in how we use it....such also is the power and energy of the Thunder Beings, also called Wakinyan. Wakinyan brings storms that cut like a knife through the building heat of day. Wakinyan sends the lightning, the Fire Sticks, that flash and sear. The booming voice of Wakinyan can either give courage or instill deep dread.

Great Mystery created Wakinyan to oversee the caretakers of the Earth...to assist them in their role....Wakinyan is electric energy and courses through all things. Wakinyan cleanses and destroys. His great wings bring sudden and terrible winds. The raw energy of Wakinyan's eye changes the vision of a human. Wakinyan is also the force of truth: he strikes down anyone who does not speak the truth when holding the Sacred Pipe. His spirit eye opens with the flash of lightning and sound of thunder. Careless use of Wakinyan's gift of energy means imbalance.
