In Lakota Culture,
When we finish this season of life, we are bound to roaming the earth for 4 days where we will revisit old places, new places and see family and friends โafterword's our human spirit will travel across the milky way galaxy to the entrance to the โRoad of Spiritsโ where an elderly grandmother spirit awaits โ she is the guardian of this gate and determines who may enter or exit!
Before we are born, we are assigned a lifeโs purpose, or a mission and if we donโt complete lifeโs mission we have to keep returning until we finish whatever we agreed to do!
After we finish this life and when we arrive at this gate, it is said that if we hold the special mark or tattoo symbolizing that we finished our lifeโs purpose, Only then will we be granted and allowed access through the gate to take our place amongst the Stars!
