From The Blessing Way - (Navaho)
Beauty behind me.
Beauty before me.
Beauty above me.
Beauty below me.
Beauty all around me.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.


Song of the Kagaba Indians of Columbia
"The Mother of Songs, the mother of our whole seed, bore us in the beginning. She is the mother of all races of men and the mother of all tribes. She is the mother of the thunder, the mother of the rivers, the mother of trees and of all kinds of things. She is the mother of songs and dances. She is the mother of the older brother stones. She is the mother of the grain and the mother of all things…. She is the mother of the Milky Way. It was the mother herself who began to baptize. She gave us the limestone coca dish. She is the mother of the rain, the only one we have. She alone is the mother of things, she alone. And the mother has left a memory in all the temples. With her sons, the saviors, she left songs and dances as a reminder. Thus the priests, the fathers, and the older brothers have reported. CREATOR-MOTHER


In the beginning was God,
Today is God
Tomorrow will be God.
Who can make an image of God?
Pygmy GREAT MYSTERY


From a Maori Creation Story (New Zealand)
Io dwelt within the breathing-space of immensity.
The Universe was in darkness with water everywhere.
There was no glimmer of dawn, no clearness, no light.
And he began by saying these words:
…"Darkness become a light possessing darkness."
And at once light appeared.
(He) then repeated those self-same words in this manner…

"Light, become a darkness-possessing light." CREATOR MALE



In the beginning of Yulbrada, the Earth, the Creator, Jindoo-the Sun, sent two Spirit men, Woddee and Gooth-tha-rra, to shape it. They were from the far end of the Milky Way. They made the hills, the valleys, the lakes and the ocean. When they had nearly completed their work, Jindoo the Creator sent seven sisters, stars of the Milky Way, to beautify the earth with flowers, with trees, with birds, animals and other creepy things.
