It's a pleasure and everything I s...Hey Wendy!<br /><br />It's a pleasure and everything I said is honest and from the heart:)<br /><br />No one knows much about my great great grandmother- I only found out about this a few years ago when my Dad casually dropped it into a conversation!. My Uncle had a portrait of her- I thought she was very beautiful. You'd never guess my ancestry by my appearance- like I said I'm a redhead with blue eyes and pale skin- seems like the Scottish genes won!<br /><br />As far as I know the Cherokee Indians believed in multiple dieties. They whorshipped animals like the great horned serpent, dogs, some snake, hawkes...I THINK squrriels and BUNNIES:). Every facite and object in their lives had spiritual power and meaning. I don't believe in any of this but it but I do think they held some sort of supernatural power that was not well understood. It upset me how people seemed to view them in the US. I got very protective.<br /><br />I think it's very sad that they are considered to be a dying breed. I considered doing my Masters on this topic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465269150557071057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287246711031510411.post-39977984137139782822011-01-18T20:21:05.036+02:002011-01-18T20:21:05.036+02:00Thanks Christine!

Lol!<br /><br />I was actually a little worried that diverting now and then from my main blog topic would put people off. But then a realised that focusing on my depression all the time was not good and I live in a part of the world where there are serious issues and a lot happening.<br /><br />I'm glad you like it! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465269150557071057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287246711031510411.post-16288515969212373042011-01-18T17:55:23.988+02:002011-01-18T17:55:23.988+02:00Oh Stephi, you are such a goddess ;) I am so glad ...Oh Stephi, you are such a goddess ;) I am so glad I made you happy with the award. You have such a depth of heart and so much to share. I am fascinated with your ancestry and hope you share more about it. Are you drawn to the N. American spirituality at all? I've spend quite a lot of time on some reservations here in the U.S. although never have I really known Cherokee's. I have read a lot about them though and they were a matriarchal clan. You said such kind things about me and my blog, thank YOU so much, Stephi.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078434289667660306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287246711031510411.post-72260895396521228702011-01-17T20:46:13.742+02:002011-01-17T20:46:13.742+02:00Congratulations Stephi!!!

Both YOU and Wendy deserve the awards given...That's the thing about your blog (and hers) is that even though the main reason for the blog is in regards to mental illness, you DO blog about other things in your life and that's what makes it great! Congrats again!<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />Christine :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
