Their prayer began: Darkness is coming along, his feet become my feet, his legs become my legs, his body becomes my body, his mind becomes my mind, his voice becomes my voice, his speech becomes my speech, his headplume becomes my headplume. It has become blessed again. It has become blessed again. Following him Dawn comes along, his feet become my feet.4 So it was said for each of the Twelve Persons. Then Changing Woman was told not to sleep. She had to stay awake so that there would be Birth and Vegetation. This was the first no-sleep ceremonial. After much time passed, Changing Woman had a second Kinaalda. Now Talking God took over from First Man as they had agreed when they had found the baby. The ceremony was like the first one in many ways. But Talking God added the songs that are the blessing part of Blessing Way. He also added the songs for blessing the hogan: At the back of my house, whiteshell prayer offerings are placed; they are beautifully decorated; With my sacred power, I am traveling, At the center of my house, turquoise prayer offerings are placed; they are beautifully decorated; With my sacred power, I am traveling, In my house by the fireside, abalone prayer offerings are placed; they are beautifully decorated; With my sacred power, I am traveling, In my house, in the corners by the door, black jewel prayer offerings are placed; With my sacred power, I am traveling, In the doorway of my house, rock crystal prayer offerings are placed; they are beautifully decorated; With my sacred power, I am traveling.5 Then Changing Woman returned to Huerfano Mountain, where the Holy People were protecting her from the Monsters. |
