Navajo Teachings: The Truth About Turquoise

Navajo Teachings: The Truth About Turquoise

The legends say… turquoise is meant to remind us of our existence in the Blue World.

The Blue World is the second in the teachings of the four worlds. It has a few different names.

The Second World, The Blue World, The Spirit World, and The World With No Surface.

Turquoise is said to offer protection.

To identify to the Holy People, the Five-Fingered beings who know where they come from.

Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, uses his necklace to teach about the symbolism of turquoise.

Wally has had his necklace for decades. It was given to him as payment for some presentations he gave long ago.

    This explains why someone put a curse on my turquoise jewelry. I think I reversed it, but they spiritually robbed me.

    There is more history in this video than any highschool history book.

    I am of African descent; what does that say about my being one of God’s descendants?????

    Beautiful examples of turquoise! My father was a rock hound for 50 years, when he passed I came into possession of his collection of raw turquoise. I have many different kinds each beautiful in its own way. Many of the turquoise I have are from mined out mines.

    in 1963 my aunt gave me a turquoise necklace, I instantly fell in love with it, and have been collecting turquoise ever since.



  10. Sabrina on July 26, 2023 at 4:48 pm

    I love turquoise but it’s really hard to find natural turquoise as there are many fakes out there and I love natural rough stones mostly. Chrysocolla is also another stone that is similar to turquoise

    All jewelry all gold all silver all turquoise and all Platinum since the beginning has caused death pain murder greed for hundreds of years and it all boils down to one t h i n g no matter what you sell to survive no matter what you own everything stays behind we become ashes and our soul goes elsewhere whether we like it or not and that one thing is knowing where your soul is going to go heaven or hell that is something you cannot purchase

    Other cultures revere these stones. The red color is Mediteranean red coral. That is supposed to ward off the evil eye. That is made in the shape of the cornuto or horn. The horn is a symbol of the moon and the sacred auroch.

    Ancient aliens taught these people every tradition. Also they were never actually aliens or from anywhere else.



  17. Steve Williams on July 26, 2023 at 4:55 pm

    The code of the Navajo code talkers was never broken.



  18. ☆Hordes Coffee☆ on July 26, 2023 at 4:56 pm

    Turquoise is my birthstone btw



  19. Nik L on July 26, 2023 at 4:59 pm

    BTW, Christians, there are MANY MANY GODS(ELOHIM) but there is ONLY ONE CREATOR. Time to grow up friends. Ignorance makes us look ridiculous! GREAT WAY TO REPRESENT YAH!



  20. Max F on July 26, 2023 at 5:00 pm

    Thank you for sharing.



  23. ☆Hordes Coffee☆ on July 26, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    I don’t even look Native American. But, I know that I have 11% Cherokee and 4% Sioux Indian. If only I knew my Biological Parents were. Maybe it’s for the best to not know. But, I have 2 Parents now that adopted me. And they are my parents as far as I’m concerned. And fate led me to your direction. I do not know anything about my heritage. I will have to learn new ways and old ways



  24. Tee Frankenstein on July 26, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    Thank you for another great video.



  25. ColoradoTrish on July 26, 2023 at 5:09 pm

    Utmost, utmost respect to this man and his culture. Thank you for posting! I need to learn more about the symbolism and background of native jewelry — I know a bit but had no idea about the meaning of turquoise necklaces, the two strands and two loops. Best and blessings from Colorado!



  26. Peter Gentile on July 26, 2023 at 5:09 pm

    Interesting….. Turquoise happens to be my birthstone.



  27. Zimtbiss1 on July 26, 2023 at 5:12 pm

    I would like to know, how does Mother Earth give something like gems freely to man? In which does it then come to man other than being digged up?
    Greetings from Gemany!



  28. Travis Coons on July 26, 2023 at 5:12 pm

    How do you spell that word he said that means spiritual value or wealth? Yoteh?



  29. Kaedon Gray on July 26, 2023 at 5:13 pm

    Christianity is a tool of white supremacy. NO THANKS! PERIOD. Thank you to Native American spirituality and empowerment.



  30. Robert Seafield on July 26, 2023 at 5:14 pm

    I always thought Turquoise was the most beautiful stone from the first time I saw it. Set in silver, nothing compares.

    Thank you Elder.



  36. One Sunny Day on July 26, 2023 at 5:28 pm

    I am a Spiritual person. I have studied the Caucasian books & their misogynistic teachings. These are not written for everyone, only certain ‘men’ to entrap, enslave & dominate others.
    Do better.
    Listen to the wise elders, embrace them, protect them & their ways. Let them have their children back to teach them their languages & wear their indigenous clothes. Stop forcing them from their sacred lands, cutting off their hair, punishing them from speaking their ancient languages.
    DO BETTER, YOU DON’T OWN THIS EARTH & EVERYTHING ON IT & IN IT.



  37. JAK on July 26, 2023 at 5:31 pm

    That was very interesting, thank you.



  38. 321_fly_angler on July 26, 2023 at 5:34 pm

    ",,,not yours, but put into your care." That’s the right way to look at so many things.



  39. LK on July 26, 2023 at 5:34 pm

    Watching him teach us about turquoise and its significance, for some reason, made me teary-eyed. There’s so much wisdom that today’s culture is lacking because we’re so far removed from Mother Earth. It was so moving to watch this and to learn. I’m glad I found this channel.



  40. Stephen Stern Goth on July 26, 2023 at 5:37 pm

    I like the philosophy of if it’s not given to you from the earth freely is not yours to take kind of like when I put a crystal point in a tree stump I don’t like when it goes missing



  41. KARMA_97_ on July 26, 2023 at 5:38 pm

    Turquoise is embedded in me , such a powerful color ( my one and only favorite color) the most beautiful and surely has an omnipotent presence ♡.
