Wakan Tanka and White Buffalo Woman



Wankan Tanka was a Lakota Creator god who was the quintessential embodiment of Pleiadian Shamanic and Natural World Animism. A Native American GreenMan, he was more conceptually than concretely characterized by the Lakota Shamans who invoked him to intercede on their behalf. His name, Wakan Tanka, gradually also became associated with the Spirit and its interconnectedness with the Animistic and Shamanistic aspects of the Natural World and the Sacred Hoop.

As Tate, he was the Plains Tribes, cloud appearing god and the Sioux wind god responsible for maintaining the cycles of the changing seasons. Tate also acted as a Shamanic Psychopomp, guiding the spirits of the deceased through the Otherworld. He was also invoked by the Sioux shamans during intercessory rituals and ceremonies. "The Benefactor", "The Shaman", "Spirit of Nature Guardian", "Cyclical Seasonal Wheel Turner", and "Natural World Ways Teacher", he taught them the meaning of "All Are Relatives."

The Wankan Tanka of shamanic journeying and power animals, Tate was blessed with psychopomp skills and a deeply profound understanding of Nature and the retrieval of soul essence. A Pleiadian Lemurian Shaman he has been sojourning with his kinfolk in the Pleiades waiting until the planetary energies were elevated auspiciously enough for him to continue his mentorship of the Plains Tribes. Now that the Earth has safely crossed the threshold of the Age of Aquarius, he has once again returned as a benefactor to the Lakota and the Sioux with his soulmate wife Whope Ptesanwi.

The Sacred Site focal point of Hierarch Wankan Tanka, his soulmate wife Whope Ptesanwi; and, a group of Restoration Omniangels, the America Great Plains Restoration Omniangels is Wind Cave National Park by Hot Springs, South Dakota, U.S.A.  More than 300 million years old, boxwork honeycombed Calcite projects from the ceiling and walls of the Wind Cave. Wind Cave is part of the Wind Cave National Park, a rolling 28,295 acre, mixed-grass prairie where native wildlife including bison, coyotes, elk, pronghorn, mule deer, prairie dogs, and turkeys roam freely.

Goddess Whope Ptesanwi, White Buffalo Woman (Ptesan-Wi, Ptehehincalasanwin, Ptehincala Ska Win) was the beautiful young woman know to the Plains Tribes and Sioux as Whope and to the Lakota, Lila Wakan as Ptesanwi. As Whope, she was the Plains Tribes, falling star goddess and the Sioux goddess of peace, a daughter of the Sun and Moon, who gave them a symbolic peace pipe when she visited the Earth.

As Ptesanwi, she was the Lakota White Buffalo Calf Woman, Ptehincala Ska Win, who gave them the Sacred Pipe and Seven Sacred Rituals. "The Maiden", "The Woman", "Sun of Reality Teacher, Shining Sacred Hoop Instructor, and "Mystical Heart Song Herald", she brought them the message of the steadfast love of Wankan Tanka. The White Buffalo Woman of sacred designs and threshold transitions, Ptesanwi was blessed with prophetic gifts and an almost transcendent knowledge of stones and the radiant tools of divination.
