teachings of the CHEROKEE CALENDAR


[06] The Twins, Flint Knife and Reed, shifting into bird form. Together, they form a rough equivalent of the Taoist tai-chi (yin and yang sign), showing how two apparent opposites form a whole.

They also shift into snake forms in one of the stories, and accidentally kill the Daughter of the Sun. Their mission is then to bring her back from the Underworld.

On Twins days, we remember that we are never truly alone, seek out partnerships of many kinds, and reflect on our obligations to our immediate and extended families, including the Earth itself. -Brian Wilkes
