<p style="text-align: left;">ASAH, SPENCER (ca. 1905-1954)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Born near Carnegie, Oklahoma, circa 1905, Spencer Asah (Lallo, Little Boy) was a grandson of a buffalo medicine man. He grew up in the western Oklahoma environment filled with Kiowa ritual and traditional history. He was married to a Comanche, Ida, and had three children, Ola Mae, Ida L., and Kay, a son killed in 1953. One of the famous early twentieth century Indian painters from Oklahoma, he used themes and images to present the culture of Kiowa dancers and images of Kiowa life. According to Oscar Jacobson, his mentor, his role as a descendant of distinguished medicine people was as custodian to important ceremonial items, including a Kiowa calendar. Asah attended St. Patrick's Indian Mission School near Anadarko, Oklahoma, where he showed talent as an artist and a love of traditional Kiowa dancing. With four other artists, he later attended painting classes at the University of Oklahoma under the direction of Edith Mayer and Oscar Jacobson. In addition to images of single figures of brilliantly colored dancers, Asah participated in painting murals in 1929 in the Memorial Chapel for Father Isidore Ricklin at St. Patrick's Mission.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Asah's flat, two-dimensional work many times presents a profile view of a full figure. His line drawings and paintings were meticulous and exact replications of the feather work and regalia appropriate for the occasion. His dancers are animated and show movement and are accentuated with black and white areas that enhance the forms and colors of the dancers. Murals by Asah are found at the Oklahoma Supreme Court Building (formerly the Oklahoma Historical Society building) in Oklahoma City, at the Federal Building at Anadarko, Oklahoma, and at Fort Sill Indian School. Asah and the four other Kiowa artists were among the first Indians in Oklahoma to receive international accolades for their artistic productions. His work is represented in the Gilcrease Museum, the Philbrook Museum of Art, the Museum of the American Indian in New York, and other venues. Asah died in Norman, Oklahoma, in 1954.</p>

practitioners. The Code is followed in magickal workings and in everyday life.<br />
There are times when we can’t follow the Codes to the exact word, but to<br />
completely ignore them would be foolish. Dragons will not work with a<br />
practitioner that ignores them. But one who follows the Codes to the best of<br />
their ability earns the respect of the Dragons and will have no problem working<br />
with them.</span></p>

<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In all that you do consider its benefit or harm to yourself, your family, and your Clan.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Your duty is always to yourself, your family, and your Clan.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Be honest with yourself and others and let them know you will not accept anything but honesty in
return. You should always strive to be above reproach or criticism in the<br />
eyes of the world.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">You should always strive to be kind to others; or, should kindness prove impossible, strive always to
be just.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Give your bond only after great consideration as to how it may affect your duties to yourself, your
family, and your Clan. And when you do give your bond it should carry the<br />
weight of a signed blood oath.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Pledge friendship and your assistance only to those who are worthy and honorable. Work to strengthen
those of your family, friends, and your Clan, and they will strengthen<br />
you.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Do not pass on anything you have not personally witnessed or verified. Never give unproven hearsay the
weight of truth.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">What you have, hold. Let no one take from you, your family, or your Clan that which is rightfully and
legally yours.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The laws of the land should be obeyed whenever possible and within reason for the protection of
yourself, your family, and your Clan, for in the main they have been<br />
chosen with wisdom.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Never reveal the secrets entrusted to you by your family, your Clan, or your friends without
permission. Possession of a wagging tongue marks you as a fool. Exceptions<br />
to this are when keeping the secret would endanger an innocent, bring<br />
unjustified dishonor to another, bring shame or dishonor to your family,<br />
your Clan, or friends, allow a criminal to go unpunished, or seriously<br />
violate the laws of the land. In this matter let common sense prevail.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Never neglect your family, your Clan, or your friends. Have the fierceness of a Dragon in their defense
and always be certain they are provided for before starting any endeavor.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Offer forgiveness only to those who are truly repentant of wrongs committed against you, your
family, your Clan or your friends. And when you offer forgiveness, do so<br />
with honesty, for to do so grudgingly is not forgiveness but deceit.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Always remember that the fury and excitement of the moment can play havoc with the truth. To keep
one’s head in any situation is a virtue.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Have respect and honor for all Dragons and the Dragons of the Land. For they will assist you in your
endeavors if you do.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Dignity, a gracious manner and a good humor are to be admired and cultivated. They will aid you to
bring honor to your family, and your Clan.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Try always to be prepared for whatever the future may bring. Life with all of its joys, sorrows, and
secrets is to be embraced and experienced to the fullest, for this is how<br />
one gains wisdom.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Respect yourself as a child of the Dragons. Have pride, but not arrogance, in yourself, your
appearance, and your position in the Clan. Do your best in all things. Be<br />
gracious with self-praise, without bragging, and self-forgiveness when<br />
warranted.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When you gain authority, use it carefully and with wisdom. Remember that authority will grow with
experience, and as a Priest/Priestess of a Clan you should exercise it<br />
with care and dignity.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Power does not come with authority, but can be given. Be wary of how you use any power given to you,
for power over something does not always give you the authority to control<br />
it.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When your time in this life is done, return to the Dragons, and stand before them with pride, not
arrogance. For a life lived with dignity, respect, and honor is one to be<br />
prideful of.</span></li>

<div>A Smile is Magic! And it changes Someone else's day!</div>
<div>A kind word to a Woman saying she looks Pretty or telling a man he looks Good Does Wonders!</div>
<div>Helping our Elders with a Quick chore and Showing them respect makes their path a little easier.</div>
<div>Letting someone Know they Shine like a Star in your Life lifts their Spirit ... and Yours as Well...</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>So help me think of things we may not have thought of as "Magic" before... but it really Might be! </div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Make Someone Happy!</div>
