The Holy Man - Hehaka Sapa
“…to the winged Power of the place where the sun goes down, from which the purifying waters come; this Power is invoked and is asked to help in the rite…to the Powers of the north, whence come the purifying winds; to the east, the place where the sun comes up, and from whence comes wisdom; to the south which is the source and end of all life; above to the heavens and finally to Mother Earth.”
