21. I tended fire at a sweat for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

I would bring the rocks in on the same side of the alter/buffalo skull situated between the fire and the lodge. I did not know if I should cross the umbilical cord (and imaginary line that connects the fire, and the sweat lodge) so I just kept to one side.
After the lodge was over the leader mentioned it and suggested that it is better to move the rocks in a clockwise direction, and a buddy of mine said "he put some heyoka medicine in the lodge" The leader agreed and we all had a little laugh.
