Spirit Work: Black Hawk

These are bible verses and psalms which are traditionally recited in association with Black Hawk the Watchman:
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.  (Isaiah 62:6-9 KJV)

Actually, all of Isaiah 62 can be read when doing Spirit Work with Black Hawk.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. (Psalm 91 KJV)

Prayer to Black Hawk

Oh Great Spirit, hear my voice, I believe in your power and your ability to defend me.
In the name of all that is good, I ask for your help with this battle, my battle, with those who intend to harm me.
Oh Powerful Indian Spirit, you are the Great Chief and you know my problems.
Help me with your Warrior medicine and guide me to safety with your Divine protection.
Faithful Indian Spirit I humbly ask for your protection.
With your warrior shield, shield me from the attacks of my enemies.
With your bow and arrow, protect me from the evil thoughts and actions hurled towards me.
With your hatchet, cut the chains and ropes that bind me.
With your feathers, brush away the negative energy surrounding me.
With your eyes, see that no jealousy and envy penetrates me.
With your peace pipe, create harmony where there is discord.
Black Hawk, have my back and be a watchman on the wall.
See that no evil befalls me.
Fight the battle to destroy those who will harm me.
Take revenge on my behalf and destroy the insurrection of the wicked.
Protect me from all evil, danger, slander and threat.
In peace and protection walk before me.
In strength and wisdom walk beside me.
In honor and courage walk behind me.
In power and resolve fly above me.
In truth and beauty walk below me.
This prayer I ask not just for myself but for all of my relations past and present, and for those yet to come, Amen.
