About the Author
I have no fancy degrees. I have not had the privilege of studying with a Medicine Person,
Guru, or Yogi. What I have had are extraordinary opportunities of Heart and Mind for
self discovery and experience of the Divine. My Teacher is the Great Being of Light that
lives in each of us.
My wisdom, knowledge, skills and gifts for the benefit of all beings comes from the
Great Mother of Light Who lives in me and flows out of me as me. She is the Source of
who I am and why. Through Her guidance, I am ever evolving into the likeness of Her,
perpetuating peace, love and compassion for the well being of all and perhaps there is
something in my experiences that will spark a thought, an action, or a way of life that will
create peace and joy in others.
On this great journey of evolving, changing Light, all things of Spirit have come to me in
Feminine form. Although I believe there is balance between the energies, those we call
the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine, heart and intellect/will, it is the Great
Mother Light that has always filled and guided my life. My mother told me my first
words were Light and Moon as she held me under the night sky.
I do not do readings, healings, or counseling. I share what I have learned about
establishing a foundation of spirituality, peace, love and balance in one’s life and what is
Sacred and how to create that Sacred Space so others can grow, evolve spiritually for
the benefit of all beings. One learns to do these things for oneself, thereby helping all
beings.
What I know is that I am blessed by the Great Mother, the Ancient Grandmother, to
bring forth Her expression in Love, Peace, and well being for all in this and all worlds.
What I know is that I, as well as all beings am Pure Consciousness, and we are ever
spiraling on our journeys of evolution and involution, each in our individual stages of
development. No one better, higher, lower, more spiritual - just at different stages of
spiritual growth. We are all One moving toward restoring balance, and becoming our
true nature of luminous being. We are remembering. We are waking, yawning and
stretching into Life.
I was born in the month of a Snow Moon, on Christmas Eve. When my mother was in
the hospital the morning I was to enter this earthen vessel, she looked out her window
and saw a Christmas Tree someone had placed on the surface of a flat roof across the
street. Crowning the top of the Tree was the Morning Star. When I was born, my name
was given to me by my Spiritual Parents, and made manifest through my physical
parents. My father gave me one name (Cheyenne) and my mother the other name
(Morning Star), neither one realizing that both names meant the same thing (the
Cheyenne were known as the Morning Star people) and this naming was marked with a
sign by the Sacred Mother.
In some Cherokee teachings, the Morning Star is a reminder of our ancestral connection
to the Great Mind of Peace. This is the Pale One's (The Peacemaker) promise to all of
us. That no matter how far away we get from the Peace Tree, we can always return and
under the branches of Her Great arms, we can all love, laugh, share, and live in peace
with ourselves and each other. In other cultures of symbolism, the Morning Star (Venus,
Evening Star) is one of Divine Love, in all its aspects of being - motherly, unconditional,
romantic, love for our friends and companions and love for the Great Light, and our
Mother the Earth, Her children, and all beings in all worlds.
A nation is not defeated until the hearts of its Women are on the ground. Cheyenne proverb
For Good Medicine Society lessons go to www.goodmedicinesociety.com All Good Medicine Society courses are based on material spoken, written, and taught by Eli Gatoga (Cherokee, 1916-1983), who dedicated his life to teaching others how to search for and apply Good Medicine to all aspects of their lives. His wife, Alloday, and others who support his efforts, continue the school he founded.
Each course consists of a series of lessons that are accompanied by a list of questions. Students are asked to spend at least one week on each lesson, to give them time to absorb the concepts presented, and observe how the lesson pertains to their personal lives. Students then send in their answers and a teacher will review and return them with comments. The eight-lesson introductory online course, (pdf files) includes teacher review.
This is a wonderful introductory course for helping you to create a positive thought life and understanding of the relatedness and oneness of all things.

In the older days, the medicine people of the village were cared for by the People. There was an exchange between the medicine person and the one or ones who were being helped. The People valued their leaders and made sure they were taken care of, the basic necessities met because the tribe needed the valuable gifts and talents of the medicine person. It was the perfect balance of exchange of energies.
There are several schools of thought on charging money for the exchange of spiritual work or information, one being that unless the human mind puts a value on something, it isn't worth anything, so a fee is attached to the services.
Another school of thought is that it should be provided free to anyone who seeks spiritual understanding and the spiritual progression of the consciousness. I agree with this thought. Spirituality cannot be bought.
And still another way is going inward, and learning on one's own, from spiritual experiences and dialogue with the Great Mother/Father. This is the way I have learned and progressed, and my preference. Ultimately, it comes down to that each is responsible for her/his own spiritual advancement.
However, what I do know and the insight of experience, I share what I have gathered as Sacred and wisdom over my 60 years, free of charge. It is up to you whether you give in return thoughts and actions of peace, love and well being for the benefit of all, and continue your spiritual journey to perfection of consciousness.
In closing, I would like to say something here about my DNA heritage. My maternal grandmother was Cherokee. Her father's name was Jaqui. During the relocation, like many from North Carolina, they left the People and settled into the mountains of Kentucky. My grandmother did not speak of her Indian heritage until I was in my adult years, so I do not know very much. When she was a little girl, she was told not to speak of her Indian heritage because at one time there was a bounty on their heads, and so she didn't. I have not had the benefit and gifts of traditional training or teaching. I am not claiming to be something I am not. However, I express myself in terms of love, peace and respect for all life, and have a great love for my Spiritual Parents, my Mother the Earth and Her children, which to me, is very Indian - actually, it is universal and all spiritual systems teach love, peace and respect. It is innate within us to want such a state of being. What matters, is spiritually evolving into maturity expressing the Light, and what I express toward all beings, and all that live in the planetary family - all beings created by the Great Mother Light and Great Father Light in their likeness. What matters is love for the Great Light, one another, living in peace and harmony for the benefit of all beings.
