Firstly, thanks Jebbers for confirming that, I never meant any insult at all, I hoped that was obvious :(

 

EDIT:

Jebbers: I am very pleased and honoured to see you used my Panda comment in your sig :D

Grooves, I guess that means he wasnt as mortally offended by it as you perhaps were :p

 

*scratches head more* :p

 

It seems Astro is highly quotable ATM, I appear in the sigs of Jebbers, ZBomber and Rythe :D How flattering! :D

 

Secondly, I *loved* the story :D I'd like to hear the Sky-Woman one too :D

I write stories...lots of stories. None of which are related to Star Wars in any way shape or form.

 

Most of em involve overwhelming armies of man fighting vampires in a dire attempt to end the plague of the undead. I use alot of cool lines from LoK though, especially this one:

 

"But each of us are so much more than we once were. Do you not feel with all your soul how we have become like gods? And as such, are we not indivisible? As long as a single one of us stands we are legion."

hmmm... arent you a little old to be carrying on like that..? :( Ive been playing LoK:D sure its fun, dont see what the big fuss is tho..... ah well, to each their own :D

 

I used to write a bit when I was younger, but have naught the time now. The spare daydreaming time I do have, I wish I was clever enough to figure out how to drop bush, blair and howard into the streets of Iraq so they can 'meet n greet' the people, see what type of response theyd get....

 

ah, but I digress.....

for some reason i just remembered this thread...and my gramps is doing fine...he broke his right rotary cuff a while back but hes doing great!

 

ONWARD!

 

i give you Sky Woman

 

In the beginning, the world was not as we know it now. It was a water world inhabited only by animals and creatures of the air who could survive without land.

 

Up above, the Sky World was quite different. Human-type beings lived there with infinite types of plants and animals to enjoy.

 

In the Sky World, there was a Tree of Life that was very special to the people of the Sky World. They knew that it grew at the entrance to the world below and forbade anyone to tamper with the Tree. One woman who was soon to give birth was curious about the Tree and convinced her brother to uproot the Tree.

 

Beneath the Tree was a great hole. The woman peered from the edge into the hole and suddenly fell off the edge. As she was falling she grasped at the edge and clutched in her hand some of the earth from the Sky World. As she fell, the birds of the world below were disturbed and alerted to her distress. The birds responded and gathered a great many of their kind to break her fall and cradle her to Great Turtle's back. The creatures of the water believed that she needed land to live on, so they set about to collect some for her. They dove to the great depths of the world's oceans to gather earth to make her a place to live. Many of the animals tried to gather the earth from the ocean floor, only the muskrat was successful. With only a small bit of earth brought onto turtle's back from his small paws, Turtle Island began to grow.

 

A few weeks after falling from Sky World the Sky Woman soon gave birth to a daughter on Turtle Island.

 

The daughter grew fast. There were no man-beings on Turtle Island, but a being known as the West Wind married the daughter of Sky Woman.

 

Soon the daughter of Sky Woman gave birth to Twins. One was born the natural way, and he was called the Right-Handed Twin. The other was born in a way that caused the death of the mother. He was called the Left-Handed Twin. When their mother died, their grandmother, Sky Woman, placed the fistful of earth that she grasped from the edge of the Sky World, and placed it on her daughter's grave. The earth carried special seeds from the Sky World that were nourished by the earth over her daughter. So from the body of her daughter came the Sacred Tobacco, Strawberry and Sweetgrass. We call these Kionhekwa. The Life Givers.

 

The Right and Left-Handed Twins were endowed with special creative powers. The Right-Handed Twin created gentle hills, beautiful smelling flowers, quiet brooks, butterflies and numerous creatures, plants and earth formations. His brother the Left-Handed Twin made snakes, thorns on rose bushes, thunder and lightning and other more disturbing attributes of today's world. Together, they created man and his many attributes. The Right-Handed Twin believed in diplomacy and conflict resolution. The Left-Handed Twin believed in conflict as resolution. They were very different, but all that they created is an integral part of this Earth's Creation.

 

Their Grandmother, Sky Woman, now came to the end of her life. When she died, the Twins fought over her body and pulled it apart, throwing her head into the sky. As part of the Sky World, there her head remained to shine upon the world as Grandmother Moon. The Twins could not live together without fighting. They agreed to dwell in different realms of the earth. The Right-Handed Twin continued to live in the daylight and the Left-Handed Twin became a dweller of the night. Both of them continue their special duties to their Mother the Earth.

 

 

 

this is why i respect the earth and thank her for the plants she grows for the animals to eat, so we can hunt them....i thank her for the sasafras in the summer-time we take....and then place an item of silver in the place of the sasafras...

 

 

Why Robin red-breast is a hunters friend or Traditional role of women

 

(and we respect our women...hence mother earth and our clan mothers, they are very important to us)
