In the context of our prayers, wearing turquoise and silver signifies our connection to our origins and future. The spirits recognize us as their children, who understand where we come from and where we are going, prompting them to respond to our requests.
The concept of the Four Worlds is an integral part of our beliefs, with everything revolving around the sacred number four. The First World has several names, including “now in now,” “aha,” “now Hut,” and “then ah honey.” This First World is considered the birthplace of all life.
The Second World is often referred to as the Blue or Turquoise World. The third world, known as the yellow world, represents our three-dimensional reality. Each of these worlds embodies the essence of the sacred number four, guiding us through the fourth world ahead.
Our jewelry, especially turquoise and silver, symbolizes our journey through these worlds and hints at what is to come. There are four metals: black, blue, yellow, and white, with white representing the fourth world that we have yet to experience.
Wearing turquoise signals to the gods that we acknowledge our origins in the second world before entering this realm. When we pray in clothing adorned with these materials, the spirits will recognize our understanding and tend to fulfill our wishes.
Our traditional teachings emphasize the importance of the number four, even extending it to four types of rituals. These include walking, sitting, standing, and kneeling before holy people. While most people are familiar with the first three rituals, the fourth ritual has been lost, illustrating that our teachings are deeply rooted in the number four. Thus, we wear turquoise as a reminder of our origins and silver as a symbol of the next world, the fourth world, which encompasses every aspect of our existence.
