Thunder B

Thunder B carries the charged, electrical energy associated with Plains sacred sites connected to the thunder beings, where the landscape's exposure to dramatic weather creates an atmosphere of raw elemental power. Visitors often describe a quality of anticipation and alertness at such sites, as if the air itself carries the potential for sudden revelation. The energy is activating and challenging, associated in Plains tradition with the transformative power of the thunderstorm, which destroys and renews simultaneously. Those who spend time at the site during approaching weather report extraordinary experiences of heightened perception and communion with forces far greater than the individual self.

Thunder B refers to a sacred site in Wyoming associated with Plains Indian traditions, likely connected to the widespread significance of thunder and lightning in the spiritual life of Plains tribes. Thunder beings (Wakinyan in Lakota tradition) were among the most powerful supernatural entities in Plains cosmology, associated with storms, warfare, and visionary experience. Sacred sites connected to thunder were often elevated locations where storms were most dramatically experienced, and they served as vision quest sites where seekers could encounter the thunder spirits directly. Wyoming's dramatic landscape of mountains, plains, and weather systems created an ideal environment for such sites.
