Halo! Gute Nacht ihr Menschen!
OK: click button “Google Translate” into ...... Russian?? ... no - - English!
Yes, that is better!
Hupferlesia Löffelei here!
Mi-Chi is asleep and so I thought I would sneak my oooooold bones out of the glass cabinet in the bedroom, where I now live and write down the story of my life.
It will be a looooong story, since I am 62 years old, a year older than Mi-Chi.
Mi-Chi- that's her “sweet- name” from her Ada, Fjodor, who had many fake names, too many to remember....
So:
In the Beginning....
I was made in a factory – but it was not the one from Margarete Steiff but the joint was called “Schuco”
and a few month later I was displayed in the window of a small toy store in the large harbour city of Hamburg. That is, where Mi-Chi's parents bought me. Ada had seen me in that window and told Mäuzi to get me for her for her very first Saide' = Spring Equinox celebration.
Mi-Chi was only 3 months old and barely could keep her head up, but when Mäuzi carried her into the livingroom on Saide' morning, she saw me and grabbed me by my left!!! ear and since then we we are together!
(See – Left is important!
Left comes from Spirit, while right comes from the mind – or ego, how you call it in your language...)
Oh, I forgot, to tell you, WHY Ada had picked out me, a Rabbit, for Mi-Chi's first Saide' – I think, you call it Ostara, right?
See, For Ada's people, the Uryanchai in Siberia, Saide' or Ostara is a very important feast day:
It marks the return of Kaltje, one of the 8 daughters of Bayan Ayyi’st , the revered Milk Lake Mother, who lives in the Upper World and releases Aami Souls of the clan to be reborn into little babies.
On Saide' Kaltje comes down to the Middle World,where we live and walks the land in the company of her Rabbit Miahanit = Guide/ familliar - and Spring and warmer weather comes in her foot steps. Seeeee! THAT”S, where I come in!
And NO!!!!!
I am NOT the Easter Bunny, but the idea of the Easter Bunny came from Kaltje's Miahanit. In western Europe Kaltje is called Ostara. And in other cultures Kaltje and her Rabbit have other names..... Nanabojou for example here with the Ojibwa People, but that is a male, while Kaltje's Rabbit is female.....
Well, back to my story:
Mi-Chi's mother Mäzi called me Hupfi. Mi-Chi could not fot the life of her say “Kaltje”, she was still too small and so I became Hupfi.'
When Mi- Chi was a little older, Ada explained all about Kaltje and how important her Rabbit is and so Mi-Chi decided, that I should be the Queen of her Animal empire!
I became Hupferlesia Loffelei = Egg Spoon. I got a golden crown, that was VERY big and heavy and I also got very nice cloths. When Mi-Chi got dolls as gifts from Mäuzi's Gypsy relatives, she always took the dresses off of these dolls, put the dolls into some dark corner and put them on me!
Mi-Chi was NOT very popular with Mäuzi's relatives for that. They said, that she had “the Dark Magic”.
That of Animals and Spirits and Devils, that howled in the night!
That is true, she does, she is of the Wolf Clan of Ada's family and she got the “gift- curse” of Ulali Kham, her Shaman great Grandmother and of granny Aniani, Ada's mom.
I could tell you endless interesting stories about how I reigned on / in Schleiflerland and how Mi-Chi learned more and more of her heritage and in her school, how bad she struggled with math – and I will – tell more, but now it is 5.00 am and I have to get back into my glass cabinet, because Peter will get up soon and would be shocked out of his socks seeing me here typing on Mi-Shell's poooooter.
Talk to you soon!
