Today, Grandmother Twylah, the Repositor of Wisdom for her tribe, still teaches her students the Seneca practice of going into the Silence of solitude to regain the feeling of belonging to nature, of being at one with the Great Mystery, and of being in harmony with all of natures' creatures.

To enter the Silence, in Grandmother's words, is "to be enchanted by the Great Mystery."
