Here is about the 13
Remember the story of fallen star and how the Burke and current didn’t reach earth in the story represented as the braided turnip
-link doesn’t matter. Pun on matter lol
Quoting: Fancy 73085161 The mountain gone was the answer to the shortened birkland current as to why the hybrid fell from star world where he was conceived. Environmental changes means earth moves at different velocity. Here is a Lakota story. I think it might pertain because of the up down.
There are several Fallen Star stories and this is one.
"Long, long ago, two young Lakota women were out one night looking at the stars. One young woman said "See that big beautiful star. I wish I could marry it." The other woman said the same about another star. Suddenly, they are transported into the star world, and there these two stars become their husbands. The wives become pregnant. They are told this star world is theirs, but also warned not to dig any wild turnips.
Eventually one of them does, and as she pulls out the turnip, a hole opens in the star world. She is able to look down and see the earth, and even her own village. She becomes homesick and decides to return to earth. She braids more and more turnips to make a rope and lets herself down through the hole. But the braid doesn't reach the earth and she falls. The crash kills her, but her baby is born. The baby is raised by a meadowlark. Since meadowlarks speak Lakota, the baby, now named "Fallen Star", grows up speaking it, too.
Fallen Star matures rapidly-in days rather than years. He is taller than normal and a light emanates from him. The meadowlark grows old and takes him to a Lakota band where he settles for awhile.
Fallen Star, the protector, the bringer of light and higher consciousness, travels from one Lakota band to another, and everywhere he is recognized, expected, and reverenced.
At one point, a band is camped near Harney Peak in the Black Hills. Every day a "red eagle" swoops down and steals a girl-child, carries her to the mountain top and kills her. The men try to shoot the "red eagle", but fail. They pray for Fallen Star and after seven days (and after seven girls have been killed), he arrives. He shoots the eagle, and places the spirits of the seven girls in teh sky as a constellation-pleiades--in Lakota, wicincala sakowin--"seven little girls"."
