As readers of this blog know, last year I authored the true, epic saga of a walking pilgrimage across North America. The story is called “Odyssey of the 8th Fire,†and it is available in full at http://www.8thfire.net
In recent weeks I have had the honor of becoming acquainted with Cindy Pickard of Texas. She has produced an absolutely wonderful 1-hour film on a theme similar to the saga. Her film is entitled “The 8th Fire – One Earth – One Whole Circle – Again.â€
The teachings of the 8th fire are among the many ancient prophecies that refer to the year 2012 and the years directly preceding it…

To the Mayans it is the end of time as we know it,

The calendars of both the Mayans and the Cherokee end in 2012.
