Did the Hopi Predict the End of the World? 

1/9/2013

13 Comments

 
Many alternative writers claim that the Hopi have “ancient” prophecies that foretold the Euro-American settlement of the continental United States as well as its ultimate destruction by nuclear weapons. Such prophecies are often said to have come from a spirit being from Sirius known as the Blue Star Kachina, whom ancient astronaut writers claim is an extraterrestrial being, one of the creatures Robert Temple imagined served as the prototype for the Babylonian myth of Oannes.

I have not been able to trace the phrase “Blue Star Kachina” back before 1963, when the novelist and New Age mystic Frank Waters used the term in his The Book of the Hopi. I have not been able to find any reference to the “Blue Star Kachina” predating this book, or any scholarly report confirming that this name for Sirius predated the New Age movement. (I will return to this point momentarily.)

Where it does appear, however, is in two “ancient” Hopi prophecies that have made the rounds across hundreds of alternative books and thousands of websites. The more detailed of these prophecies is attributed to a Hopi named White Feather:

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."

"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."

"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."

"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."

"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."

"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.

"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.

"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.”

So, the prophecies foretell nine things, eight of which have happened: (1) European colonization, (2) pioneers in wagons, (3) cattle ranching, (4) train tracks, (5) telephone lines, (6) highways, (7) oil spills, and (8) hippies. The ninth seems to refer to a space station, and the coda at the end makes clear reference to nuclear war. The space station reference, however, may not be what was intended. The prophecy is so vague it could refer to a jet aircraft, or, more likely, to an event that happened in the past. In Fingerprints of the Gods (1995), Graham Hancock visited the Hopi elder Paul Sifki, who told him that he remembered a supernova in the early 1900s, “a star that exploded,” which his grandfather had told him foretold the destruction of the earth. I wonder if the prophecies’ author, White Feather, wasn’t referring to this or a similar event. I can’t find a nova from the early 1900s, but one was observed in 1885 in the vicinity of the Andromeda galaxy; however, any number of rare astronomical events could produce similar light shows, not necessarily an actual supernova. Heck, for all I know, Sifki could have witnessed the disintegrating comet that caused the Tunguska event of 1908, when that comet (or asteroid) exploded over Siberia.

My reference to the Tunguska event, I think, clues you in that the prophecies aren’t exactly what they seem. If these were truly “ancient” Hopi prophecies, this would be astonishing—and indeed many alternative writers claim them as such. (Even the 2005 encyclopedia Gods, Goddesses, and Mythology claims they are ancient—and accurate.) However, these “prophecies” were concocted ex post facto in 1958, when at least eight of the nine prophecies had already happened, nuclear war was a pervasive fear, and science fiction had made space stations a probable future occurrence. The prophecies were supposedly uttered to the Methodist pastor David Young after Young picked up White Feather as a hitchhiker. The strong Christian apocalyptic themes in the prophecy make plain that Young was likely far more than the mere transmitter of the prophecies; the text was allegedly first circulated in Christian churches in 1959 in privately-printed handbills but is only known (to me at least) from the published sources, including Something in This Book Is True by Bob Frisell. I cannot find references to the prophecy earlier than 1980, when it appeared in Rolling Thunder: The Coming Earth Changes by Joey R. Jochmans. If this is in fact the case, the blue star referenced would therefore likely be dependent upon the blue star we are about to meet in the next prophecy. 

A second Hopi prophecy, today often paired with the first, also predicts a third World War, the destruction of the United States by nuclear weapons, and the rise of a single world government. Needless to say, this prophecy dates from 1963, as recorded by Frank Waters in The Book of the Hopi, and is similarly not ancient. Interestingly, though, this prophecy makes explicit that the end of the world will come when Saquasohuh Kachina dances. The name “Saquasohuh” means “Blue Star,” the same “blue star” referred to by White Feather. As I mentioned at the top of the piece, I am unable to find a clear reference to the “blue star” in any document published prior to the 1980 and 1963 texts, and it seems likely that if the White Feather prophecies are really from the 1980s they therefore are merely expanding upon and reworking the prophecy from The Book of the Hopi. Jochmans' attribution of words to White Feather surrounding the prophecies seems clearly influenced by Book of the Hopi and its discussion of Hopi tablets and other myths, as is the nuclear apocalypse given after the common text of the prophecies ends, especially where both prophecies claim that the Hopi, by virtue of their wisdom, are exempt from destruction.

The prophecies came to a head in the summer of 1987 at the Harmonic Convergence, an event New Agers thought signaled a change in history. Many gathered at Prophecy Rock on the Hopi mesas, but the event there had no Hopi participants and was decried by Hopi elders, especially after New Age attendees invoked aliens. At the event, the alleged Hopi prophecies from the 1950s and 1960s were appropriated by (white) New Agers as “ancient” mysteries and associated with all manner of alternative beliefs, including Robert Temple’s Sirius Mystery, UFOs, and other unconventional ideas. As a result, the “prophecies” entered the alternative mainstream (if that’s what you’d call it) in association with space beings, Sirius, and other extraterrestrial mysteries.

The association of the Blue Star Kachina from Waters’ book with the star Sirius then bled back into Native American beliefs from the New Age. The Native American activist Oh Shinnah, who is not Hopi (she is Apache and Mohawk), told Grandmother Twylah Nitsch, a Seneca, that she felt the Blue Kachina had “something to do with Sirius.” Oh Shinnah and Twylah Nitsch together concluded that the Hopi prophecies therefore meant that Sirius was associated with the apocalypse and a new universal consciousness emerging when our three-dimensional world becomes “four dimensional,” and this would happen in December 2012, when the Mayans prophesied the end of the world. Since that prophecy is well-known to be a Euro-American imposition on Native belief, the “Hopi” prophecies similarly seem to be Native peoples reflecting back the West’s own apocalyptic traditions!

The authors of these alleged prophecies were drawing on a traditional Hopi cosmology in which the current world, the Fourth World, would eventually give way to the Fifth World, in a recurrence of the periodic destruction that gave birth to new world ages. This myth, which posits the return of Pahana, the White Brother, from the East, is almost certainly related to the Mesoamerican feathered serpent legend of Quetzalcoatl and the Mesoamerican idea of successive worlds. As in the Aztec case, it is possible that the whiteness of the being was ascribed to him after the contact period to help place the arrival of white men from the east into a mythic context; there are no ancient Hopi texts, only oral accounts, so we simply can’t know what was believed before the first records were made. The traditional cosmology was continuously reinterpreted, however, in light of modern conditions.

Armin Geertz studied Hopi prophecy (most notably in 1994’s The Invention of Prophecy) and determined that no Hopi prophecy could be traced back before the event which it describes; in fact the Hopi have continuously recreated their prophecies to justify current conditions. For example, when the Hopi split around 1900, they created a “prophecy” to support the split, and new prophecies were added to reflect new technologies. The “spider web” analogy for telephone wires came about only after the wires went up. The most famous ex post facto “prophecy” is the “gourd full of ashes” that supposedly represented the destructive power of the atomic bomb. The “gourd” prophecy wasn’t invented until 1956 (though some oral traditions claim 1948), long after the bomb it supposedly predicted.

Thus, in short, the Hopi prophecies tell us much about the concerns of the people who uttered them, but very little about the future. Oh, and they also tell us that alternative writers will repeat anything they hear.

“The Blue Star”
March 22nd, 2013

The following visions were given to me during the rosary at the Marian Movement of Priests cenacle (March 22nd) , and the message was given to me after receiving the Eucharist April 14th):

I was shown over several consecutive weekly MMP cenacle’s, a pair of scales….evenly balanced at first..then one side suddenly went down very quickly…..and next I saw a huge hammer slam down on the scale that was weighted down…which was symbolic of the sins weighing down the scale of course …..the hammer symbolic of God’s justice….I was told..that our infrastructure will go down soon.

Then it was as if I was “flying” (for lack of better description) behind a comet…only this comet had blue tinges around the edges..and was actually blue….and it had a blue tail…..and I heard…”the blue star will be upon you soon….” I have been shown this comet many years ago….but tonight is the first time Jesus has called it “blue star”…. I have never been given a name for this comet….so I was quite taken aback.

In the blackness of space this ball of (seemingly like) fire, the comet, the heavenly body passing very, very close to earth……but this time it was as if I was in a field, and I was actually hoeing weeds, then I look over to my left and I see this heavenly body pass on the horizon, not falling to earth, but “passing by”……then there were scenes of intense devastation, having come from earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, magma, tsunamis, wind….very high winds….it was if the trees were almost bent in two……

Then I “felt” more than heard the thunder that will accompany the passing of this comet; this thunder will be a sign of the approaching moment when we will be oblivious of any person around us as we experience the illumination of our consciences; a moment in time that will stop as each person experiences it at the very same time; it will be like our “particular” judgment, that judgment every soul goes through at death. We will be shown everything as a movie. I am sure you have heard and read many “after death” experiences of people coming back and sharing that their life “passed before them”….that is what we will experience. ”

Another statement by “Sadie Jaramillo”

Message to John Leary

October 8, 1999

Jesus said: “My people, you will see a major celestial event when a part of a comet will effect the earth, but not the final chastisement. Many will be frightened by this event, but it will coincide with My Warning experience. As you all see your sins and how I would judge you, some may be frightened also to see their judgment in how you offended Me. Everyone will be given a knowledge of My love and a new sense of right and wrong according to My ways. You will be given a second chance to reform your lives and make your souls right with Me in Confession. Those, that do not heed this Warning and follow the Antichrist, will be led down the broad road to hell. Focus your love on Me in My Real Presence of the Host, and you will have the strength to endure the coming tribulation.”

Messages from this year 2013

Jesus said: “My people, awhile ago I gave you a message about the coming Ison comet as a sign of the Warning. Today, I am telling you that this comet is not only a sign, but it is an omen of bad things coming such as the evil of the Antichrist in the tribulation. You are seeing signs of war, signs of financial instability, and signs of riots in various countries. My faithful need to have all of their preparations ready for when you will have to leave for My refuges. My refuge builders also need to put the finishing touches on their preparations for food, water, and bedding that will be shared with My pilgrims. My faithful should think of themselves as pilgrims because they are coming to a place of holy ground where there will be perpetual Adoration at every refuge. They will have My angels protecting them, and they will be healed of all of their health problems when they look upon My luminous cross in the sky.”

May 7 2013..Jesus said: “My people, some of you are aware of the Ison Comet that will come close to the earth around November and December. I showed you this in an earlier message, but I did not mention the significance of this comet. Your astronomers are telling you that this comet will appear as brighter than a full moon. I told you that the meteor over Russia was a sign of a war coming. Now you are seeing how Israel is protecting itself by a second bombing of potential missiles in Syria that were headed to Hamas. I also gave you a sign of the coming financial problems after Pope Francis was elected. Now, I am telling you that this comet is a sign of the coming Warning. I wil

I know of these prophesies, and they are intriguing indeed. They are difficult to date, since they had no written Language as we know it. However they did make petroglyphs, and some are quite astonishing. Google "Holy Ghost Rock", it's in Utah as I recall. Back in January when you posted your article, I generally would have agreed with your assessment. The prophesies are interesting and thought provoking, but without a solid date and source they can't be considered completely credible. However, in May I had a wake-up call. And the wake-up calls have been pouring in ever since. I suggest you reopen the case, so to say. I have Learned much about the Hopi since June. The first thing I Learned is I still have a LOT to Learn. Book of the Hopi is a good introduction. It's one of the oldest and most well-documented books on the subject, respected around the world, and well-received by the Hopi themselves. The Hopi state, as recorded in this book, that the Blue Kachina (Saquasohuh) is a far away unseen star, not a space station or an asteroid impact (pg. 334). Until this unknown blue star appears in the sky, the 9th prophesy is not fulfilled. Breathing easier now? Don't. It has appeared. Apparently it's been visible under the proper conditions since 2010. I'm sure you're naturally skeptical of this sort of thing, as am I. But I've consumed just about all there is available on the subject, there is something there, and indications are that it's getting closer, and is basically on our doorstep. If so, it will be visible to the whole world very soon. It's not ISON, although there may be a tie-in. This is something else, something eerie & bizarre. It's the kind of thing you hope & pray is just a Lense flare, or refraction. But it tracks the sun precisely, and seems to defy all known characteristics of an optical anomaly. Worse, the same object has been recorded by at Least two cameras, different models entirely. And yes, it's blue. I'm not sure if I can post the Links here, but I'll post the title of the video, and you just have search it on YouTube. Without further adieu, meet what very possibly could be the Blue Star Kachina of Hopi Prophesy, and final warning before Judgment Day...

These are time Lapse videos of a volcano in Costa Rica. The camera is positioned on top of a mountain, facing West, towards the volcano. You can see the volcanic steam rising, and the glow of the Lava at night. Fast forward until you see the setting sun. Note the bright blue object. Please Let it be a Lense flare! Unfortunately it's there even when the sky is nearly overcast, and the camera is in the shadow! You will see it blink out briefly once, in one of the videos. I thought, aha, it is a Lense flare. Wrong. It's an eclipse. It has a moon. OMG!!!

What if the comet Halley was the Blue Kachina?
What if the the 9th sign of the Hopi was the falling of the Twin Towers?
What if Comet ISON is the Red Kachina?

I was sleeping on the couch and Paulette smothered me with kisses...So then, I just boned her...
I drove away from Old Oraibi and slept under mountain at Flagstaff... and BOOM! Next morning, 9/11 twin towers...
The War twins, the Hero twins... Man Eagle...Maasaw in the fire... They all said hello that day.
Really, I had no idea what was going on at the time...

Her brother was obviously pissed.. showed me the greasewood and the reed, called me a warrior. It was slightly threatening, but it was more of an expression of love.

My first visit was in 1996-97... The Hale Bopp Comet shown bright from one end of the night sky to the next...right over the Grand Canyon...It was like the stars perfectly reflected the entire canyon below...Magical!

Don't worry about stuff blowing up... this Purification is almost over...nice soft gentle for the most part...

The fire from heaven is the Holy Spirit... the Fire of Love...So just open yourself up and let it burn inside you and live FREE! and in eternal Joy!

Some speculate that our sun is a binary system with the star Sirius (aka ISIS). This star appears red as we move away from it due to red-shifting, and then appears blue as it moves back towards us and this is the opposite known as blue-shifting.

As our solar system gets back closer to this star - and this happens during the 24,000 year great year which is the time it takes our solar system to rotate around the galaxy centre - the extra energy coming from the star being closer, will affect our solar system and planet, if this were the case.

James, Thanks for your reply. Yes, our Sun has a companion star. The gravitational effects are clearly established. Astronomers first noticed in the Late 1800s that the orbits of our outer planets were warped by some unknown force. The gravitational effects on space probes and comets is irrefutable. Apparently the interactions between our Sun and it's binary companion are what has caused periodic extinctions on Earth. And we appear to be heading for an encounter, perhaps in the next few years. The effects have already begun. Volcano and earthquake activity are breaking all records. Incoming asteroids and space debris have increased dramatically. Our governments are Lying to us. And anyone who speaks out has an "accident" or commits "suicide" before they can go public. Forget saving the world. Prepare for yourself, your family and your Loved ones. Those who are unprepared won't survive a month once the panic sets in. Don't wait. Look at Iceland, Earth is ripping open. Before this is over, the world we once knew will be unrecognizable. That's if any of us manage to survive. Fare thee well.

Snakes if iron

When did the Hopi even realize what iron was? Seriously....they had no metallurgy and used wood/stone tools while also intentionally segregating themselves.

Surely the ancient Hopi would have no word for it and if they had encountered any forged metals via travels or trade it likely would have taken on an entirely different word(s) other than "iron" considering the Iron Age ended 1300 years ago.

Not grey snakes, snakes of steel, snakes made of swords, loud wood, shiny wood, stone that can be melted, etc....but iron?

So it's quarantine. The world sees fear and disbelief. The year is 2020. Governments enjoying absolute power. Men are evil and stupid. Earth is in need of rescue.
ISON disintegrated around the sun but around that time in Pretoria a staged funeral was held for Nelson Mandela. Speakers praised the one who brings light in front of millions of spectators. So whatever came to Earth then was not katchina.
One of the "visions" in comments here gave me creeps. The blue comet entry from 2013. Because in April - May a bright blue comet C/2019 Y4 ATLAS will miss Earth by a whiff. At least I hope so. And then there's more headed our way.
The government just completed storing global seed vault in Norway. Armies are coming back home. World is under phoney martial law prepped many years back. The lie is greater then ever. I think this is it.

About this article. Very decent, very honest, I would call it truly historic given how quickly men of this world realise the need to appreciate the idea of world's end.
It helped me a lot to piece some important facts together. And it shone fresh light on some old sceletons: how New Age with one move in 1980's swept a huge chunk of show business and news business for themselves and became part of a global propaganda problem. In the same time becoming second only after science - church or sect - helping people to distrust Christianity. And through it helped me find the other works by Frank Waters describing the people and their uncorrupted values as key to peaceful life of true fulfillment. Which in turn made me realise how true Christianity speaks of same identical things as the native Indians making me feel a better human being.
Very good writing. Thank you.

Bright blue comet C/2019 Y4 ATLAS could be the Blue Star Kachina (Blue Star of Bethlehem?).

Perhaps it is the planet Sirius, or perhaps it was the recent UFO crash in Mage (South America).

There was a crash over Los Angeles (Tesla claimed it), and maybe it was. Maybe that was the symbol, or maybe it was not a Tesla satellite.
