Story & Experience
Went to Blaze Hill in Hopkinton, NH to the site where a young Abenaki woman named Lalula met a Mohawk warrior, Mognomis, and they both fell in love knowing that they had discovered their soulmate. After several meetings Mognomis promised to return from his homeland and take Lalula back to his village to be his wife. On the appointed day her father arrived with twenty-four warriors, all armed with bows and arrows. Both Lalula and her beloved Mognomis were pierced through their hearts with arrows.
The site is located on the top of a hill with a beautiful view of the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont. A very short distance away is a very large and very tall cell tower, constantly humming and visible for miles around. To honor the love of Lalula and Mognomis along with the love of the mountains and beauty of this spot I conducted a solo tribute. I started with blessing the cell tower with water and prayer. I then went to a clearing and burned incense while meditating on how this area must have looked so long ago. I read a story out loud, wrote a poem, sang Walk In Beauty by Brooke Medicine Eagle with percussion, made a RadBird and danced! Sat in the woods for a while and sang a song about Lalula and Mognomis.
