In my last post we discussed the legend of White Buffalo Calf Woman. We discussed briefly the story of this Native American holy woman and how she came to earth to teach the Lakota Sioux their Seven Sacred Rituals and left them the holiest of all worship symbols – the Sacred Pipe. Before she left The People she promised to come back to earth one day and that we would know she was coming when a white buffalo calf was born.
On August 20, 1994 a white buffalo calf was born along the Rock River in Janesville, Wisconsin. She was named “Miracle” and the world took notice. In fact by the autumn time of 2000 there were 7 white buffalo calves born onto the world stage. Some, might say this lessens the significance but many think these births are quite worthy of taking note. Is it just a coincidence that there were 7 born and there are 7 sacred rituals?
Miracle lived for 10 years and gave birth to 4 more white calves. To give you some idea of how phenomenal this is let me share some statistics with you. In the days when the buffalo herds were numerous, pre 1800s, the chances of a white buffalo calf being born were 1 in 10 million. Due to them being hunted to near extinction by the 1800s the odds became too high to even calculate. So, for the world to be seeing these calves being born more often at this time in history seems like a sign to me and millions of others who embrace the teachings of the indigenous peoples of North America.
Legend Of The Pipe by Singletree3
Perhaps at a time when our world seems to be driven by greed and mankind has embraced too many unholy ways, it is time for Pte San Wi to return to us and she is giving us signs to open our minds and hearts for her return. We need to understand and embrace her teachings that the Great Spirit lives in all things, gives life to all forms, and supplies energy to all things of creation. We are reminded by these white buffalo calves and their coming that the Lakota saying of Mitakuye Oyasin has real meaning and real significance to the survival of mankind here on Mother Earth.

Ahh. Highly compelling that there was seven white calves.
We are, I think, part of a world-wide spiritual revolution of some kind. I am thankful to be born at this time in history. I do not pretend to understand everything that is happening,but I do think we are in a spiritual shift.

Very interesting story, Bev. I find it very symbolic that the white buffalo calf gave birth to four more. I agree with Joan that we are in the midst of a spiritual shift.

Oh yes, Kim the number 4 has much significance! Legends,oral histories, and prophecies from the ancestors talk about the 4 colors of man or 4 races of man and how we will all come together as one peaceful world. Very much in line with White Buffalo Woman and her lessons over 17 generations ago.
Agreed. The spiritual shifting is in the process. Indeed, a wonderful time in history. And thanks to folks like Bev for keeping the real spirit alive.

I can’t help seeing another significance in the numbers of 7 and 4. For quite a few years now, the numbers 11:11 or 1:11 have been popping up all over the place.
I thought I was crazy, so did others until I started pointing it out. It turns out I am not alone, and there is a legend about those who experience this being receivers of a special message.
Something is afoot, because my life could be a complete mess, yet I seem to be getting closer to an inner peace.

Thank you Bev, for your wonderful stories. I, too, agree that we are in a spiritual shift. But being naturegirl, I must ask… What happened to the 4 white calves that Miracle had? Are they still in Wisconsin?
