Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....

And on today’s Dark enigma we’re going to be exploring something that was sent in as a listener request, and honestly when I first got it, I didn’t really think it was something I would normally cover. But when I responded, Shelly – our listener – was very passionate that I really needed to read it… and you know what… Shelly, I owe you an apology. You are right, I think it’s exactly what the listeners want, so today’s show is dedicated to Shelly. As always, we will be playing our drinking game but once again, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. Now I’m leaving the choice of libation up to you, so choose wisely… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Hopi that will be a single shot and every time I say tribe, that’s a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the Hopi Prophecy of the end of the world… Someone insert REM’s End of the World – ok, now that you have that earworm in your head… you’re welcome… alright let’s jump into it heathens…

More than any other tribe the Hopi Indians have developed their core beliefs and structured their community based on a legacy of prophecy. The predictions of the life to come do not merely pertain to the Hopi alone, but deal with impending events on a global scale. These prophecies began to be made public shortly before the mid-20th century. The Hopi nation is an aggregation of clans that came together at the “center-point” ( Tuuwanasavi) in northern Arizona during the course of migrations. Because they are not a monolithic tribe, the sources of their prophecies are incomplete and diverse. Part of the lack of clarity also has to do with the secretive nature of the Hopi nation. These isolated, sedentary farmers living in unpretentious pueblos on the high desert of the American Southwest have looked into the future from their kivas or subterranean, communal prayer-chambers, and have seen some rather disturbing scenarios. Many times they simply do not wish to share these visions with the outside world.
