The Hopi Indians, which means good, peaceful, or wise, come from a group of Southwestern people called Pueblo, but their language is different. Worse yet is the fact that they are surrounded on all sides by the Navajos, who have been their enemies. So, we have the Hopi blues! They do have something in common with the Israeli’s. But that’s not where I want to go with this commentary.
Maybe it was that constant danger, that need to rely upon the spiritual that led them to such mystical lifestyles that they have led. However, the Hopi traditions have been rich in prophecies and there’s something about their past that seems to be sounding awfully familiar to some Mayan prophecies. Can you say 2012?
Soemthing in our souls tells us that change is happening on a global consciousness level. Too many people that I know are saying and sensing it. There is a coming exponential rebirth of consciousness much like the axial age or the Copernican revolution- Axial Age II maybe? An interesting side note is the Hopi affinity to the color BLUE.
Blue links to higher/future frequencies of consciousness. Blue as in Indigo children, Blue as in Isis, the Pleiades, Sirius, blue galaxies, blue chakra, blue ray and revolutionary constructs that will simply jump out at us….. ‘out of the blue’.
Hopi tradition says that we are living in the Fourth World and soon to move into the FIFTH! According to legend, this fourth world will end and America will be destroyed in a spiritual conflict. Could they have forseen the Islamic-Christian conflict? Were they fore-telling of the war on terror , and if not, what spiritual conflict could they be speaking? The ancient elders go on to say that the spiritual conflict will be fought with material means and the destruction will be caused by radiation.
Just what we need- another doomsday scenario!
The good news of this Hopi prophecy though is that those who survive this conflict will institute a new united world without racial or ideological division and under the one power of the Creator! Now that sounds like something worth surviving for, doesn’t it. I just don’t like what the prophecy says we’ll have to go through, but then no one likes any kind of pain do they?

The Hopi maintain a complex religious and mythological tradition stretching back over centuries. However, it is difficult to definitively state what all Hopis as a group believe. Like the oral traditions of many other societies, Hopi mythology is not always told consistently and each Hopi mesa, or even each village, may have its own version of a particular story. But, “in essence the variants of the Hopi myth bear marked similarity to one another.” It is also not clear that those stories which are told to non-Hopis, such as anthropologists and ethnographers, represent genuine Hopi beliefs or are merely stories told to the curious while keeping safe the Hopi’s more sacred doctrines. As folklorist Harold Courlander states, “there is a Hopi reticence about discussing matters that could be considered ritual secrets or religion-oriented traditions.” David Roberts continues that “the secrecy that lies at the heart of Puebloan [including Hopi] life…long predates European contact, forming an intrinsic feature of the culture.” In addition, the Hopis have always been willing to assimilate foreign religious ideas into their cosmology if they are proven effective for such practical necessities as bringing rain. As such, it is important to note that the Hopi had at least some contact with Europeans beginning the 16th century, and some believe that European Christian traditions may have entered into Hopi cosmology at some point. Indeed, Spanish missions were built in several Hopi <b>…</b>

hopi kachina dolls, will it be returned to the Hopis because for them it is sacred, or be kept by the museum?
Imagine that a museum has just acquired a Hopi Kachina doll. The Hopi people want it back because it is sacred to them. Is the doll more important as a piece of art, or as a religious symbol for the Hopi?
