When we met Grandfather Wallace Black Elk at an Inipi Lodge we were already part of a team of light workers working inside the temple of Stonehenge. Every full moon, Equinox and Solstice for four years as a team under the guidance of Marcus Mason and Caroline Wyndham we brought in the powers of the cosmos into the temple structure that had influence through the Ley lines into all the sacred sites throughout the whole of the Northern Hemisphere. Marcus invited us to compose an opening song for these celebrations in Stonehenge. Renata composed this song which is now sung all over the world daily to this day.
lyrics
Spirit of the East you help the new dawn in us rising
Spirit of the South you bring us healing and laughter
Spirit of the West you bring us cleansing and insight
Spirit of the North you bring us wisdom and purity
Grandmother Earth you give us food and shelter
Grandfather Sky you breathe the breath of life into me
Spirit of Within you are my appreciation
Wakan Tanka, Great Spirit, Great Mystery take the veil of ignorance away from me
Wakan Tanka, Great Spirit, Great mystery take the veil away so I may see
