Several weeks ago, I sat on sacred Mohawk land on the shores of Lake Ontario, meditating on words of the Great Peacemaker of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), a man born in the very vicinity of where I perched:
“Look & listen for the welfare of the whole people & have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground – the unborn of the future Nation.” (Ch. 28, Great Law of Peace).
This was part of the Great Law of Peace he brought to help unite warring nations in one of the most remarkably orchestrated cooperative covenants ever known on the planet. The Peacemaker was a particularly gifted holy man because he was considered to be a divine incarnation born of a virgin girl.

What were the circumstances of the Peacemaker’s virgin birth, and how did this relate to my research about divine conception in ancient Greece? How might such mystical womb wisdom be relevant in a world that could use more than a bit of high-level assistance these days? These were the questions swirling for Maureen Walton and me as we had journeyed to the sacred spot that July 9 afternoon. Maureen, a mural artist & spiritual teacher, had invited me to her Wyldwood Sojourn in Marysville to co-teach a workshop exploring these matters, as well as how this material dovetailed with the broader womb teachings of the Q’ero of Peru.
Our purpose was to help women resurrect knowledge of the expanded creative capacities of the womb in service to our world. Could women consciously bring another great peacemaker to the planet today, for example? What else did we need to know about how the powers of the womb could be utilized for ourselves & others?

Aligning with 7 Generations Although the above-noted words of the Peacemaker don’t state it explicitly, the number of generations whose welfare one must consider has commonly come to be thought of as seven. It’s a concept embraced by some indigenous individuals & groups, as well as various companies & organizations. Among certain indigenous peoples, this is thought of as the span from great grandparents going backward to great grandchildren going forward. (See, for example, Vine Deloria, Jr.) Among others, the concept refers to seven generations from the present. (See, for example, Oren Lyons) A generation is generally considered to be 25 years, so that’s roughtly the next 175 years.
Seated near the marshy shores of Lake Ontario in contemplation, I was inspired to look at the “Seven Generations into the future” concept. I share here the insights I received. I do not claim that these inspirations are indigenous teachings. They represent what channeled through me as a European-descended sacred woman of contemporary times. If they make sense to you & they seem wholesome, by all means try them out.
A Practice for 7 Generations:
• While you’re still in the formation stage of any given project for which you wish to have the stamp of sacred approval (including the conception of a child), create a ritual in which you pray to Creator/God-dess to align your thoughts, actions, words & desires with what will be in the highest good for people of planet earth for the next 7 generations.
• Then take time to listen deeply to guidance from the inner planes. Let it help give you the structure, plan & resources for what you wish to set forth.
• Pay attention as to whether you are being affirmed, assisted – or rerouted – and heed that by taking appropriate action.
• If you do all this conscientiously, in good faith, whatever you manifest will indeed be aligned appropriately to serve the planet 7 generations, or approximately 175 years, forward.
• We do this not just because it’s kind to future generations or the earth, but because it prevents our own creations from spawning unintended or unexpected consequences into eternity. Therefore it prevents us from creating snowballing negative karma through our own ignorance of how timelines work.
The human mind can’t comprehend the full ramifications on future probable realities of even a single thought, let alone of a complex action that is set forth in a world full of billions of other actors. The “7 generations” alignment creates a sufficiently boundaried geometrical weave, after which point all further ripples will be wholesome for the universe without further action having to be taken.
• Divine assistance is needed in this calibration because of the complexities of the geometries that are activated when we create anything – which is to say, when we activate a particular timeline. This is why ritual & prayer are important, as they provide the portal for the divine ingredient to enter that can help snap our creations into (right) place.
• This relates to womb wisdom, in particular, in that a woman’s womb is the source of all her creative outflow, be it in the form of children or other projects. (The womb is not the same as the second chakra for women; is its own chakra. But for those without wombs, that creative center is indeed the second chakra, and the same principles apply). Women’s creations are particularly potent because of the energies channeled through the womb. And, of course, only women can bring through the future in the form of children.
Women as Peacemakers Today
Melissa Maracle sharing Mohawk history
Over the course of the weekend, Maureen & I, joined by the women who attended our workshop, realized what our honored Six Nations teachers Melissa Maracle, Mandy Smart, Agnes Williams & Norma General have known for decades: The work of the Peacemaker continues, as it has for hundreds of years among the Haudenosaunee themselves. As Six Nations people continue to speak on this globally, and as others consider his messages more closely (see, for ex, this article on the Great Law of Peace as a model for leadership), the Peacemaker’s ideas become a template for nothing less than worldwide unity & cooperation.
This certainly corresponds with the transition to Unity Consciousness and 5th Dimensional Awareness that humanity is currently undergoing. Women have a special role in that process, as did the mother & grandmother of the Peacemaker, and as did the great female leader of his day, Jigonsaseh. These women brought womb wisdom & feminine strategy to the table, making the very advent of the Peacemaker & his message possible. What about you? Are you willing to align the fruit of your womb (or 2nd chakra, if you’re not female) with the greatest good of the next 7 generations? And this: Could women again create a higher-dimensional shift by birthing more awake children & more inspired & aligned creative projects than ever before?
With love,
Marguerite
