Yellow
Overtone Seed
This song is for the Women
Who are left bereft
When Children - Brothers - Husbands - Parents
die –
Women of the war-torn World –
Some are killed and maimed –
Burned – stoned – raped - be-headed or shot through –
Let us weep for those
Who live with torn Hearts
Riven into jagged wounds –
Wet with sacred Water –
Wet with tears of Grief
Weep also for those
Harpies of the Patriarchy
Whose Passion becomes Madness
When Logic gives way
And Violence holds sway
These Women are Women no more –
Lost in the Wasteland of a Land
undone –
A country like an aberrant
Adolescent thrown between Extremes
Losing all Balance –
These women Shriek –
Unnerved by Insanity
Shouting from twisted Mouths –
Hurling Insults and Epithets –
Women destroyed
Unstrung – women who kill
Their young with prejudicial Poison –
Cry for these Hearts
Shattered - battered beyond Repair
Hearts dead inside a living Body –
Unconnected - broken - closed to Compassion
These are women betrayed
Who petrify men –
These Vaginae
Dentatae* –
The Graeae* *of one Eye only.
*Vagina Dentata (Latin for toothed vagina) describes a folk tale in which a woman's vagina is said to contain teeth, with the associated implication that sexual intercouse might result in injury, emasculation, or castration for the man involved.
**Graeai in Greek mythology in Graeae also called the Grey Sisters, and the Phorcides ("daughters of Phorcys) were three sisters who shared one eye and one tooth among them.

The Oneida nation had a tribal council chosen by the Oneida clan mothers.
Tyonajanegen ("Two Kettles Together") was an Oneida woman who fought in the August 6, 1777 Battle of Oriskany during the American Revolutionary War. Armed with two pistols, she rode into battle and fought alongside her husband, Han Yerry, and her son, Cornelius. Tyonajanegen helped her husband reload his gun after a musket ball struck him in the wrist. After the battle she rode on horseback to bring news of the outcome to local rebels and Indians.
An article in the September 3, 1777 Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser described the incident.
" ... a friendly Indian, with his wife and son, who distinguished themselves remarkably on the occasion. The Indian killed nine of the enemy, when having received a ball through his wrist that disabled him from using his gun, he then fought with his tomahawk. His son killed two, and his wife on horseback, fought by his side, with pistols during the whole action, which lasted six hours."
Han Yerry was a head warrior throughout the Saratoga campaign and was assisted by Tyonajanegen who transported messages for the rebels. General Horatio Gates ordered Colonel Peter Gansevoort to "deliver to her Three Gallons of Rum, for a Winter's supply for her Family" as a reward for her services.
In the 1750's, Tyonajanegen married Han Yerry Tewahangarahken ("He Who Takes Up the Snow Shoe"), a chief warrior of the Wolf Clan. The couple settled and helped found Oriska, an Oneida village near the mouth of the Oriskany Creek. The couple had three sons and a daughter and prospered on an expansive farm; Han Yerry having become one of the wealthiest Oneida. By 1777, the family had a frame house, a barn, wagon and sleigh. They grew a variety of crops and raised livestock and other animals including 15 horses, 100 chickens, 60 hogs, six turkeys, six cattle and two sheep. Tyonajanegen cooked meals in kettles made of brass and copper and served guests on pewter plates. The family catered to people from the nearby Fort Stanwix as well as travelers.
After the Battle of Oriskany, a pro-British Iroquois war party attacked Oriska, destroying the village and the family's house and belongings.
Han Yerry died sometime prior to November 1794. One account relates that Tyonajanegen went blind before she died circa 1822.
Much of what is known of Tyonajanegan is taken from the manuscripts of Lyman Draper, a 19th-century historian.
"Hon Yerry's wife was Sarah Martin – taken prisoner with her sister Katy from the Shawanoes, & remained with the Mohawks."*

Kin 44: Yellow Overtone Seed
I empower in order to target
Commanding awareness
I seal the input of flowering
With the overtone tone of radiance
I am guided by the power of free will.
Cosmic Ascension refers to mastery of higher powers of telepathic perception and projection: This means that we can perceive ourselves anywhere in the universe and project to those places as necessary.*
