Very interesting is the article by Cal Garrison,
the Editor in Chief of the Spirit of Ma'at magazine,
regarding her personal experience at the Gathering.
Impressions from the Ancestor's Gathering
by Cal Garrison
As I sit here getting ready for the May issue, the Ancestors Gathering is up north, moving between the Navajo reservation and the Hopi Mesas. After two days in Sedona and three days at Dead Horse Ranch, everyone went on up to follow the Elders to a meeting with the Hopi which, none of us are sure will even come to pass. So many things came together at this council the convergence generated more power than anyone could have imagined. If we went there to focus our spiritual intent what came out of those attempts could be felt right down to the bone. I'm a veteran of a lot of ceremonies and I was so blown away I don't know how to put it into words.

Coming out of the silence, after about 20 minutes, Drunvalo called us back and Adam Yellowbird stood up and said; "That's it for this morning. We're all done until after lunch".
And then a voice came out of the crowd. It was a woman's voice which could be heard to say: "No you are not done yet, because I have not spoken". Echoing loudly, over everything else, the words belonged to Grandmother Margerite, and they called everyone in the circle to not only get real, but to get used to the fact that the Female had arrived — and she didn't need a microphone.
I can only paraphrase what came next because I was as unprepared for it as everyone else — but this is how I remember it. First of all, the Grandmother's first words riveted everyone to the spot — even the ones who had begun to wander off came right back into the circle.
She then proceeded to say;
"I am a woman and I am used to being last. And I now understand why we are always the last ones to speak; because we have to wait for the men to get out of their heads before we can talk about the heart. You talk about going into the heart and how to find the way there? If you want to go into the heart, you have to open the legs. The way to the heart is through the female vagina and the man can't think with his heart unless he gets to it through the woman."
That's only the gist of it; I can't even begin to tell you what the Grandmother said. She went on for quite some time in what amounted to an esoteric dissertation on the union of the male and the female. It was mind blowing; totally mind blowing. I think it was at that point in the gathering that Grandmother Margerite became the one who everyone wanted to hear. She's a woman, she's 104 years old and she blew everyone's socks off.
