Duwit chonah mowna jawneek. That phrase comes up numerous times in “Puye Prophecy,” and it references a “carrier of spirits,” not to the dismay of Katherine Jackson. “There’s no Indian princess spirit in me.” She never wanted to be a part of any of this Indian voodoo and yet she fell into a dream that […]

Back to normal at work did not feel normal at all, especially when Kat felt compelled to bring her boss up to speed; after all, she started the whole dialogue with Cassie before she left on her prophecy journey with a description of a couple of dreams that weren’t story-worthy at that point. Her story […]
Kat awakened alone, still feeling, or was it sensing, the presence of Dew on Flowers’s spirit. The night before, when they first met, the experience was mystical, with an underlying fear that hung over this spirit who had occupied Kat’s mind since the Sand Creek dream. She never knew Dew on Flowers, even during the […]
Kat never expected Dew on Flowers to drop in from the ether but was not necessarily surprised. She figured it had to happen sooner than later, anticipating a fight over parental rights and privileges of the unborn child.

Not only was Benny a tequila Jedi, but he also had family connections to the Puye Ruins and knew of the existence of an ancient prophecy. Maybe it was the excess tequila, but he was pretty pumped to meet a spirit carrier in the flesh. I suppose you could say another dot had connected for […]
Who knew big sister Maddie had a covert relationship with a special guy? It was easy when all the focus was on Kat potentially being impregnated by an Indian spirit. Had she “done it” with a spirit? How could that be? She knew her body, but…how different would it be if it truly was a […]
How would you react to the knowledge of having a spiritual presence within you? Kat had her hands and her heart full. Had she been too compliant to follow Big Crow with Little Feet’s every direction? But then, how could she not when her heart won over her head. It became easier to believe when […]
Puye Prophecy Kat did not look forward to telling her sister what had happened on her journey. Coming across as a crazy person was not her style. She knew there was no avoiding it and knew it would sound convoluted because she wasn’t sure it actually happened. But parts did happen, and the proof was […]
