Our Elders and ancestors offer so much from which we can glean wisdom. In this section each month we will describe the teachings from the Seneca wisdom as taught to Jamie Sams by her Grandmother and Aunt. If you have a story to share about what your Grandparents taught you, please post that in the comment section. This is a way to allow your Grandmother or Grandfather to teach others as they did you.

The 13 Original Clan Mothers is the title of the book by Jamie Sams, and each full moon a grandmother offers a new teaching about Truth. Truth is something we all must understand if we are to truly BE authentic and not just 'cookie cutter' images of what we are taught.

Over the years, people have asked if these women were 'real' and our response is....as in any storytelling, there is always a message...seek that rather then engaging your 'head' in trying to figure out if they are 'real' and we are confident you will find the teachings powerful! There are many who can attest to specific ways these teachings have changed their lives. Also keep in mind that while these teachers are presented in the feminine form, their teachings can profoundly affect both genders (male and female). For the Truth is what gives our heart wings and allows us to re-connect to the divine....to the Creator....to God.

If you want your life to become more authentic, try reading about these amazing teachers and we are certain you will see ways of living your life fully .... Not fretting about the past, or worrying about the future .... rather finding the joy in this moment.
