December 29, 1998: Hopi Prophecies, Seven Thunders - Robert Ghost Wolf
Ghost Wolf outlines the Seven Thunders prophecies, born from a gathering of Native elders in the early 1980s, which describe escalating signs of a coming purification as Earth transitions from the fourth world to the fifth. He explains that humanity has now entered the seventh thunder, marked by volcanic activity, earthquakes, and extreme weather anomalies. According to both Hopi and Mayan traditions, the purification cannot be reversed and the shift between worlds is accelerating beyond the ability of prophets to predict events.
The conversation turns to anomalous photographs from the SOHO satellite showing unexplained objects near the sun. Ghost Wolf connects these images to Mayan prophecies about ancestors returning from beyond the stars during a specific window between December 1998 and February 1999. Art also shares a touching on-air marriage proposal from a listener couple who met while accessing his website at a college library.
