02 Jun Odemin Giizis
Mno Kizhep. I hope that you all have recovered from the ice storm of last month. As heartbreaking as this was and seeing all the devastation, we are reminded that with every ending there is a new beginning. The Creator always has a plan. Full Faith will get us through. That being said we are reminded that this month’s moon/ Odemin Giizis shares with us why we are able to maintain that full faith. “Ode”, our heart is what keeps us going and “Odemin”, that strawberry moon reminds us of the teachings that we were given to help us maintain both physically and Spiritually.
Odemin/O day min (heart berry) is connected to a vast system of leaves, roots and runners just as our heart is connected to all the other organs and parts of the human body. The heart is the center of a human. Veins and arteries are our roots and runners. The heart berry also reminds us of reconciliation and teaches us how to maintain heartfelt relationships in our families and communities.
