Continued Creation Myth of the White Pearl Woman
Today I was hiking in the Thunder Mountain area. You may remember from my previous blog on the Creation Myth of the Yavapai the story of Kamalapukwia, The Old Woman with a Pearl, or sometimes translated as Old Woman with the White Stone. Today I found an image of a woman in the red rock formations. If you look closely at the pictures you will see a profile of a smiling pregnant woman.
What I also notice next to this Stone Goddess was a white stone embedded in the same rock formation.
The spring flowers marked the trail and Indian Paintbrush made it appearance adding it's own beauty to the Living Myth that is hidden in Red Rocks of Sedona.

The Navajo Beauty Way Ceremony
- In beauty may I walk
- All day long may I walk
- Through the returning seasons may I walk
- Beautifully I will possess again
- Beautifully birds
- Beautifully joyful birds
- On the trail marked with pollen may I walk
- With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk
- With dew about my feet may I walk
- With beauty may I walk
- With beauty before me may I walk
- With beauty behind me may I walk
- With beauty above me may I walk
- With beauty all around me may I walk
- In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk
- In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk
- It is finished in beauty
- It is finished in beauty
