In being guided to do research after consulting spirits of the land of Marin County, CA, Theresa Dintino and I have learned that key pieces of ancient knowledge from the original Hukuíko people (Coast Miwok) who lived here correspond precisely with the information we have been receiving intuitively about portals, star and elemental beings, and other phenomena.
This tells us that energies are gathering and permission is being granted for us to offer the Gaia Grid Activation Program, which starts this Sat, Sept 14 on the land of the Hukuíko. We do so with respect and honoring of the traditional peoples and ancestors of this place. This post is intended to beckon ever more loudly, then, to those who are feeling called to join us in this restorative energetic work. For more information, visit here
Re-tending Portals to Other Realms
Here are some of the intriguing bits we have discovered. The Hukuíko (that is the phonetic pronunciation of the name the original peoples in Marin called themselves) have always held a conception of the sky as a dome-shaped canopy resting on the earth, with holes north, south, east, and west, which continually and rapidly open and close. This corresponds with what we have been receiving about “portals” – energy vortexes between the earth and other realms.
We have been “hearing” that these and other portals are needing human attention because the communication with them has been severed. We have learned of a Hukuíko belief that “one man” (or possibly several), supernatural in nature, watches over the cardinal directions, and we have intuited that the connection with him/them needs to be reestablished. We are also receiving information that there are many portals, including those on the major mountains of the area, and that they are once again wanting human tending with integrity.
The Hukuíko also see a “Northern Hole” in the sky as a gateway that is always opening and closing with great rapidity –– thus, again, a portal. They consider it to be “on the other side of the sky.” This corresponds with what I recognize from my research is the ancient Greek conception of Hyperborea (from huper, beyond, and boreas, north or north wind). This was a northernmost region –– so far north that it was really off planet, that is, in the astral plane –– whence came and went various gods and also priestesses who founded oracle sites like those at Delphi, Dodona, and Delos. According to geomancer Richard Leviton, the Hyperboreans referred to the Pleiades.
FIRST PEOPLES –– Pleiades?
So, it seems, here in blessed Marin, just as Theresa and I have been intuiting, the traditional peoples have also understood that there are earth/sky portals to other realms. And while the Pleiades do not feature largely in the extant local lore about the Hukuíko, they may well be implied here. For we do see in the Hukuíko vocabulary the term for a “cluster of eight stars,” which is maienko. The term literally means “people of the maien,” and maien was a matriarchal elder leader in a village. While anthropologists have not been able to determine which constellation maienko is referring to, this meaning would correspond with the notion of the Pleiades as being generally conceived of as seven powerful sisters, matriarchs themselves. The number of stars seen with the naked eye in the Pleiadian cluster ranges from seven to thirteen, so clearly we are in the ballpark here.
Furthermore, the Hukuíko also hold a belief that “people” were present “on top of or beyond the sky.” Certainly this corresponds with my research into worldwide beliefs that the earth was seeded or populated by Star Beings from locations such as the Pleiades. Indeed, we further learned that the Hukuíko believe in the existence of a FIRST PEOPLE who did not look like Indians of today, but were their somewhat supernatural ancestors. They were “transformed” into animals, trees, rocks, stars, and other celestial bodies and forces.
In Greece, we find several stories of great early ancestors of humanity being transformed into such things, as well. In particular, as I write in my book The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece, there is the story of the “Seven Sisters” of the Pleiades, who were considered virgin mothers of the large portion of humanity. For their role in this regard, they were “transformed” into the Pleiades star cluster. Thus, once again, the correspondences between local Northern California spiritual beliefs and worldwide concepts of humanity’s connection with the Star Nations are amazing.
Many traditional peoples from the Americas have foundational stories with the Pleiades, in particular, including the Cherokee, Lakota, Blackfeet, and many others. Even in the substratum of contemporary Western culture we see beliefs in FIRST PEOPLES known as the Atlantians and Lemurians. There are hints in the Greek and other literature that their civilizations were created by the Pleiades.
Dolphins = FIRST PEOPLES?
What is particularly interesting is that back in early 2013, well before I began learning these things about the Hukuíko, I directly received information that the Lemurians hailed from the Pleiades and had “transformed” into dolphins when their great continent disappeared… This is why dolphins are particularly sacred and intelligent beings, and why they are in a special communication with humanity. So it was a great affirmation to see this concept reflected in the traditional wisdom of the Hukuíko, on whose homeland I have dwelt since coming to live in Marin County a decade ago.
