In the Indigenous tradition I have practised over the years—celebrating unity with the forces and spirits of nature, places, and the elements—the cyclical rituals of the equinoxes and solstices are performed on the nearest New Moon or Full Moon. In this way, the celestial body closest to Earth also helps to support and amplify our prayers.
This year, the full moon falls on Monday. To make it easier for the community to participate, we will perform our rites this weekend. You will, therefore, receive my weekly article this Friday.
When we give, we receive a hundredfold. This is, in fact, the very principle underlying our ceremonies. This is why there was such abundance in the Americas when the Europeans arrived. Our elders knew how to maintain the ceremonial cycle that ensured harmony with the elements and nature. We had the right timing for harvests and favourable conditions for gathering and hunting. People lived healthy, very long lives. This was one of the first things the Europeans who arrived in the Americas noticed. The early colonists were amazed to see people without any technology living past the age of one hundred, while their own life expectancy rarely exceeded sixty. The wisdom of knowing how to give—to others and to nature—aligns with a fundamental law of the universe. To breathe in, one must first breathe out. To receive, one must give. Cultivating generosity ensures abundance.
Everything in the universe possesses consciousness. There is conscious life in animals, in plants, in stones, in the wind, in water, in fire, in the stars, and even in space. The ceremonies and rituals of First Nations peoples, on every continent, were designed to establish a relationship, a communion, and a communication with all these conscious beings. This relationship, communion, and communication made it possible to express gratitude and appreciation through offerings, rituals, prayers, and dances. Thus, the entire environment, nourished by these energies, worked in harmony with the people who inhabited it. This is why there was such abundance and such good health among our peoples.
It is time to bring back this eternal wisdom, embedded in the cycles of the entire universe.
Here is testimony that sharing allows us to reap. We have reached and exceeded the goals of our crowdfunding campaign! My articles demonstrate that our philosophy and intentions at Invocation are truly rooted in spirituality and the desire to help. Thus, a donation will yield a hundredfold return, since donations to spiritual individuals and organizations are the most meaningful a person can make. There are still a few days left to help us. We are still accepting donations and reward-offers until Monday, June 29, at 11:59 p.m. Montreal time—5:59 p.m. Paris time. We will be able to ensure the continuation and sustainability of all the work accomplished over the past forty years [1]. So, a huge thank you for all your generous and kind contributions! I am filled with gratitude! For Invocation resellers and customers who have been receiving recent newsletters, this is the last one on my blog.

Happy Solstice to everyone!!!

[1] My therapeutic music was created according to Indigenous music therapy principles, my books on First Nations wisdom and spirituality, my video-recorded teachings on the shamanic path, and the wonderful shamanically encoded vibrational fragrances, Liquid Smudge, and Sacred Essences. I can still create so much more… under the conditions that will be established by our reorganization. Thank you!!
