The Hopi Prophecy for 2012
by Frank Joseph
FATE | Mar-Apr 2009

Although the Mayan calendar’s termination due to occur on the morning of December 21, 2012, is receiving increasing attention as the world approaches this controversial Winter Solstice, less well known is a Native American tradition regarding that same date.

The Hopi Indians of the American Southwest tell of four worlds, or ages, all ending in natural disasters instigated by the unbalanced behavior of mankind. They predict a Day of Purification, when Saquasohuh Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. In other words, modern civilization will be shattered as the Blue Star appears in the sky. In the Hopi language, qatsina, or literally “life bringer,” refers to anything in the natural world or cosmos, including natural phenomena, whether good or evil. As Hopi Nation elder Dan Evehema stated, “We are in the final stages now, so our prophecy says.”

Saquasohuh Kachina cannot be positively identified with any particular blue star, although Sirius, the Dog Star, is sometimes suggested for its blue-white color shift. If so, its relationship to the controversial winter solstice seems unclear. At 8.6 light years from Earth, we should not anticipate the appearance of Sirius in our skies by 2012 or at any other time. The Hopi’s blue star is more likely a large meteor or asteroid that could approach the orbit of our planet.

Great Destruction Coming

In any case, their Saquasohuh Kachina prophecy was supposedly an ancient oral tradition shared with Presbyterian minister David Young by a terminally ill elder of the Bear Clan, White Feather, during the summer of 1958, and published five years later by the historical writer Frank Waters in The Book of the Hopi.

Dr. Allen C. Ross, a Santee Dakota educator and Lakota language scholar, relates that the same prophecy was uttered during the most important Hopi ceremony, the Wuwuchim, at least as long ago as early 1914. It may, in fact, predate this early 20th-century instance by many years, perhaps generations.

It forecast, in part, “You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the Earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease. These are the signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it. Turtle Island could turn over two or three times, and the oceans could join hands and meet the sky.”.......
