The Seven Fires Prophesy is a series of prophesies from the Anishinaabe peoples of what is now North America. All six of the prophesies have been said to be fulfilled, and we are now in the time of the Seventh Fire.

The following prophesy text is taken from The Mishomis Book, a book on the Anishinaabe people, published in 1979.

“The Seventh Prophet that came to the people long ago was said to be different from the other prophets. He was young and had a strange light in his eyes.

He said -

“In the time of the Seventh Fire New People will emerge.

They will retrace their steps to find what was left by the trail.

Their steps will take them to the Elders who they will ask to guide them on their journey.

But many of the Elders will have fallen asleep.

They will awaken to this new time with nothing to offer.

Some of the Elders will be silent because no one will ask anything of them.

The New People will have to be careful in how they approach the Elders.

The task of the New People will not be easy.

If the New People will remain strong in their quest the Water Drum of the Midewiwin Lodge will again sound its voice. There will be a rebirth of the Anishinaabe Nation and a rekindling of old flames.

The Sacred Fire will again be lit.

It is this time that the light skinned race will be given a choice between two roads.

If they choose the right road, then the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth and final Fire, an eternal fire of peace, love brotherhood and sisterhood. If the light skinned race makes the wrong choice of the roads, then the destruction which they brought with them in coming to this country will come back at them and cause much suffering and death to all the Earth's people."

- Edward Benton-Banai, The Mishomis Book

This is the Seventh Fire Prophesy, from the Anishinaabe People. We live in a highly prophesied time.

The “two roads” that the light skinned are now facing have been interpreted by the Indigenous Elders of the Anishinaabe people as being the road of technology, and the road of spirit.

Which path will you walk, if given the choice?

There is no time like the present to make conscious the soul path that you are on.
