Connect The Hoop
The indigenous tribes in the US have always used circles or “hoops” as part of their sacred traditions.
“You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.
In the old days all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation; and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our religion.
Everything the power of the world does is done in a circle.The sky is round, and I have heard that the Earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were.
The life of a man is a circle from childhood-to-childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our tipis were round like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation’s hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children.

Native american hoop dancing have long used hoops both on the ground and around the body to symbolise the sacred cycle of life, the infinite eternal cycle of life.
Even the native medicine wheel is circular with rays emanating from the centre to represent the four stages of life and the unity and interconnectedness between all of us.
It all points to the legend of the Eagle and Condor and how they will fly together.
Eagle Flies Over Peru
Here’s a very short version of the legend.
For so long, after the breakup of Atlantis, the Condor people have ruled Central and South America and protected their secrets through intuition, the heart and feminine energies. The northern tribes went to North America and were represented by the Eagle, the path of the mind, industrial and masculine energies.
Hopi, Incan, Mayan and Amazonian prophecies all speak of the new age when the Eagle and Condor will fly together, when both hemispheres will be united and begin a new age of consciousness. The prophecy only speaks of the potential, but it’s up to each individual to make sure that they do their part to participate by elevating their own consciousness
In many native traditions, the end times or the beginning of the new times is when the “Hoop is Connected”. It becomes like an ourobus, like the snake swallowing it’s tail as the inifinite, never-ending cycle of life and death.

When this is done, all people will be uniting as the frequency reaches a level where everyone has to move forward. That balance of energies from the North will meet the energies of the South to create the sacred wisdom and understanding for
