Eight of Air ~ Crow Mother (Reversed)
Hopi Goddess of Initiation
Take responsibility to break through restriction.
The Hopi Crow Mother (Angwusnasomtaka) is revered as the mother of all Kachinas, the spirits that make up the natural world—spirits of living beings as well as the ancestors who have become part of nature. Kachinas have powers of rainfall, protection, and healing that the people desire, while they enjoy prayer feathers, corn pollen, and respect. Hopi rituals are mutual gift-giving ceremonies which preserve harmony in the world.
Crow Mother appears on the mesas at the first full moon of spring, initiating the yearly Powamu ceremony of purification and renewal. She comes from the San Francisco Mountains carrying a basket full of bean sprouts to the village, symbolizing new life for the community. When she comes, she sings the song of the Kachinas and their coming to this land.
Crow Mother teaches the proper way to live in community. She presides over the initiation rites of Hopi children at the age of nine or ten, instructing them in the ways of the people. She reveals the secret that the mysterious and powerful Kachinas who appear among them are their elders, masked and costumed. Shown behind Crow Mother are her whips made from the blades of the yucca plant. They stand between her and the child’s return home. The children do not yet know that home will not be the same, because they will have changed. The initiate will be whipped, four strokes, the only time in their lives the children are ever beaten. They must face their fear, they must face surprising pain, they must accept knowledge and the shattering of their childhood illusions. When they do, they are rewarded with a prayer feather and a meal. Then the new young adults are reunited with their community and welcome to join the sacred kiva societies.
When Crow Mother appears:
You are not strengthened by remaining isolated.
To step out of a stuck situation, you need to step up. Face what has been holding you back. Recognize the truth when you hear it. Self-centered and childish fancies impede your participation in a larger world.
Learn the lessons offered by the situation. It will take some discipline, but your future need not be colored by old disappointment or current disillusionment.
Create a prayer stick. Find a stick on a walk. Wrap it with colored yarn, using from one to four colors, repeating your intention with each winding. Tie on stones, shells, and feathers. Give the prayer stick to the earth and sky by leaving it outside in a special place. Leave it, walk away, and do not look back. Trust your prayer will be heard.
