| White Buffalo Calfwoman with sacred pipe |
The birth of the White Buffalo, according to Sioux tradition, is the sign of the return of harmony, unity and peace to the Earth. It signals the fulfillment of the prophecy of White Buffalo Calfwoman that the appearance of White Buffalo means all nations shall be redeemed and learn to honor what is sacred on our Earth. The 2000 year-old prophecy is unfolding as we are seeing the birth of White Buffalo on native land. But what is equally fascinating is the appearance of

According to Chief Arvol Looking Horse, traditional leader of the
Lakota clan of the Sioux nation and 19th generation Keeper of the White
Buffalo Calf Bundle, the appearance of these white animals heralds a
time of great urgency for the Earth and humanity as a whole. It is said
that the appearance of such unusually coloured animals is a sign; an
omen calling for us to unite as a People and walk as One; to see past
the colour of our neighbour’s skin or the ancestry of their people and
to come together and embrace them as brothers, sisters and all-related
children of the Earth Mother.
Despite the fact that animals exhibiting albinism or leucism are far
more vulnerable than their naturally coloured kin, we are seeing an
increase in these creatures developing into healthy adults … with many
going unnoticed by man until fully mature and quite certain of unaided
survival in the wild. It is said that the lesson behind the emergence of
these rare white animals is one that must be acknowledged by every man,
woman and child if we are to bring healing to the Earth Mother and
humanity. We are being reminded to be ever mindful of our actions and
reactions, to be more accepting of others, their beliefs, orientations
and customs and to be more respectful of the animals and the Earth
Mother her self.
Chief Arvol Looking Horse believes that we are now deep in a time of
prophecy, when animals are choosing to be born as head-turning
anomalies; white ambassadors of their species with messages that double
as both blessings and warnings. He endorses the idea that the animals
are being born white to attract our attention, as embodiments of a
universal need for humanity to unite in the name of Peace so that our
children and their children will be ensured a future on Mother Earth. He
says 'all nations, all faiths’ must unite ‘in one prayer' no matter how
we believe in the Creator Spirit, if we are to acknowledge and honour
the birth of these sacred animals and heed their message.
Albino animals have been revered in most cultures for centuries;
venerated as omens of good fortune, fertility, plentiful rain and
bountiful harvest. Some even describe them as being imbued with
supernatural or magical powers, usually charged with extraordinary
strength, speed, shape and size. In medieval Europe, for example, it was
believed that white Mice personified the souls of departed children,
while the appearance of a white Elephant was said to have proclaimed the
birth of Gautama Buddha. As a result, the white Elephant has become a
sacred symbol of appreciation in Hindu tradition. The white Elephant
(and Ganesha) are both said to offer deliverance from the obstacles
created by the mundane aspects of life, aspects such as embarrassment
and limiting circumstance. In Thailand, the people believe that white
Elephants may very well contain the souls of people who have crossed
over to the Spirit World.
White animals appear regularly in Welsh and Celtic mythology, too, as
creatures of the Otherworld, often sporting red ears, eyes and snouts.
In these stories, they were more often than not pursued by brave
warriors and noblemen when they ventured into the ordinary world.
*For an creature to be considered white and not albino means that there is not recessive gene. An albino will have the recessive gene that creates the anomaly.

I was driving through the country twenty years ago when the inner voice bade me to slow the car hard on a blind bend (common in Wiltshire, uk.) . As I came to a stop a massive White king stag emerged from the hedgerow onmyleft slightly ahead. He raised his head and looked directly at me , Then bowed his head towards me and set off across the road to leap the hedge on the other side of the road. From childhood Ihavebeen taught that these creatures are of great importance and sacred, they presage both disaster and triumph depending on where you live. I felt awe and blessing that earth mother remembered me in this way.

I am in the throes of major decisions having just sold my lovely home. I sat on the front steps & asked God for some kind of peaceful sign & direction for my next move. I pulled up the phone # of a lady that owns a lovely home i have viewed 3 times. I wanted to speak to her again about either leasing or buying the home. As her # popped up on the screen this beautiful albino hummingbird fluttered within 14-16" in front of me. It's eyes were a beautiful pinkish/red. It turned it's head & looked straight at me for what seemed an eternity. It moved about 10-12" beside a lavender hosta blossom then came right back in front of me turning it's head to look at me again with a divine stare. I asked it if it had something it wanted to share with me. It lingered a moment then flew to the east side of my home then flew away south. I looked down & still on my phone was the home owner's number. I felt a warmth of peace flow over my body. Still have't made a decision, but am so grateful for this precious visit from this heavenly visitor. Bringing me a sign of oeace. My first thought was that it looked like a miniature dove.
