Mystic Visions: Black Elk's Great Vision Clarified

Based on the compelling vision of Nicolas Black Elk as written by John G. Neihardt in Black Elk Speaks Quentin H. Young has unlocked its messages as he clarifies each detail of the vision. A vision given for all people of the world then now and for the future and explains why a vision given to a young Lakota boy in 1872 has relevance today.Black Elk Speaks: As Black Elk the bay horse the blacks whites sorrels and buckskin horses all marched; they came to a cloud shaped like a tepee with a rainbow for its door. When Black Elk looked through the rainbow door he saw six old men (Grandfathers) sitting inside. The eldest Grandfather spoke to Black Elk in a gentle manner and said; Enter and do not be afraid. As the Grandfather was speaking all the horses whinnied showing their support for Black Elk. He entered the lodge and stood in front of the Six Grandfathers. They looked older than men of the earth could be. The eldest Grandfather said; Your Grandfathers are having a gathering and have sent for you to instruct you. Black Elk said he knew these were not just old men; they were the powers of the six directions and he was frightened.
