The Ranger Prayer is the most powerful way that I co-create with the forces of Spirit and Nature. I was taught this by the Apache Medicine Chief Snowleopard, director of Search & Rescue International and Commander of the Alaska Airborne Rangers. This is a simple, powerful, beautiful, ancient ritual that calls in and gives thanks to the four directions, beings and forces of Nature and Great Spirit. Then you state your intention, breathe it into the blue corn meal or tobacco from your medicine pouch. Finally you place it upon the ground and say, “It is a good day to die.” and watch what happens. Be careful what you ask for. Nearly every time I do this, my life changes dramatically. Any questions or comments, contact David Lakota 907.540.0453 or email: BigIslandSchool@gmail.com

  • PimpyMcHoSmack says:

    @Unityspirit50 The Apache were also renowned warriors. I would imagine every day was a good day to die if it meant dying honorably in battle.

  • PimpyMcHoSmack says:

    @DavidLakota I thank you immensely. Where would I be able to learn it or would I be able to write it down from here? Again, thank you for your help.

  • DavidLakota says:

    Above is what I just wrote to someone else today that asked a similar question. Some of it may be useful, some of it may not apply to you.

    For you I suggest you learn the Ranger Prayer. It comes from the ancient lost tribe of the Mequon, an elite band of Apache.

    First and foremost and always… go straight to the Source, Nature or Great Spirit with all of your questions and concerns. LISTEN to their response and begin to DO whatever it is that the still small voice within says to do.

  • DavidLakota says:

    Yes, there is plenty that I’m willing to share.

    Most important is to cultivate an ever-growing, ever improving communication n connection with the Divine- inside and all around.

    Attain enlightenment, Oneness, etc. so that you may begin from there to fulfill ur Soul’s Destiny, your purpose and mission. Don’t delay. Do it today.

    And keep in touch via the New Earth Army, run by “America’s First Corporate Shaman” as they called him.

    May the force be with you.

    A beautiful and moving video, brother! I am a northern New Mexican curandero, and I walk with Bat Medicine – this is a wonderful blessing and prayer; thank you very much for posting it! I am constantly trying to find other followers of shamanic traditions with whom to discuss and share – do you have any advice to someone who is still relatively new to the Path?

  • PimpyMcHoSmack says:

    This makes my urge to learn about the Apache side of my family even stronger. I want to fully embrace the native part of my culture as my way of life but I don’t know where to even begin. Would you be able to help me with any advice?

  • HelpTheHemp says:

    @DavidLakota Thanks for your time. For the most part i have been living by those guidelines and i plan to continue.

  • DavidLakota says:

    The best advice I can give you right now is to go directly to the Source. Engage the following four-step process:

    1- give thanks
    2- state your intentions, ask for what you wish, leave no stone unturned
    3- let it go. trust that the highest good will come to pass
    4- follow intuition, give special attention to auspicious and serendipitous or mysterious signs.

    Tha language of spirit and nature is more subtle and more clever than conventional language. Look for your answers and guidance in nature.

  • HelpTheHemp says:

    @captincheckerbelt I too am in search of the same thing you are and have white skin. Good luck my friend.

  • HelpTheHemp says:

    I’m fascinated by Native American shamanism and spirituality (I’m also part Native American). I’ve been reading Carlos Castaneda’s books about don Juan and they have heightened my interests to new levels. I truly crave knowledge of my ancestry and of this mystical world in which we live. I’m fifteen years old and I want begin a journey to become a man of knowledge. Any advice?

  • captincheckerbelt says:

    I too am looking to become a shaman. i have been heavily influenced by it for awhile now but i too have white skin, and am young. i feel im ready to learn the ways, and truly become a shaman, but in order to travel the long road, i am in need of a benefactor or teacher. contact me at adarksun@hotmail.com

  • Otehnuzoi says:

  • horsefly1000 says:

    good video, i like the end when you notice the raven then disappear, good effect

  • memaoanna says:

    I’ve been looking for exactly the four directions. thank you

  • Howage1 says:

    Great video, thank you for sharing this prayer.

    I thank our Creator daily. I have studied the ways of the Mohawk now for a couple of years and hope to eventually meet our Mohawk spiritual leader.

    It is so important that we are thankful for all that is, was and will be. Spirituality is scarce now and creates many problems in our modern lives.

    I will send you a Mohawk prayer shortly.

  • DavidLakota says:

    First n foremost, go to Great Spirit. Give thanks. State intentions. Let it go. Give special attention to subtle signs wherever you go. My Apache teacher, Snowleopard, said to “Always seek the best instructor, and let him come to you.” Having Coyote Medicine is a blessing. Be proud of it and wear and share it wisely. Always be willing and able to laugh at yourself. That is one of the many gifts of Coyote. If you are unable to find an instructor, let me know. I’ll help you on the Path.

  • CoyoteKitsune says:

    A very moving video. Do you have any recommendations for people looking to learn more about shamanism and its rituals? It’s a path I’m looking to walk, though I fear I may have trouble finding information on it, having white skin and having coyotes as my spirit guides.

  • shamanizing says:

    Heyoka 😉

  • longtail4711 says:

    Beautifully said. I have white skin, I am not “A White.” I do not claim kinship or align myself with people who abuse, oppress, and tyrannize others for greed and loony religious reasons. We NEED EVERYONE who’s spirit is moved by this to and understands this prayer to step up and say “Hey…these people got it RIGHT and we need their civilization more than ever. Listen to their wisdom before we kill our Earth and everyone on it.” David, ?ig?icid – Thank you in Tulalip Lushootseed.

  • TheFifthH0rseman says:

    Oh yes, and shooting people who wear blue or red are such a superior culture…
