- This is the first in my all new, all different PA Dutch Pow-wow videos. This represents the changes in my personal Pow-wow practice which reflect a more traditional approach at the subject.

My family lived in the Coal Region of PA. A little old lady who gave pow wows to sick and injured lived close by smoking her corn cob pipe on her porch. She grew herbs and treated sick and used only herbs and children holding hands in a circle around the sick saying prayers to cure. In 1930s Grandmom sent her infant covered in boils after doctors couldn't help. The boils disappeared after her powwow.
My family originally hailed from Germany, and then immigrated to Kentucky. Even though I am not Pennsylvania Dutch (that I know of.) I see no reason, why I can't learn and use this. Thank you for posting, and continue to make videos!
Beautiful work as always, Rob Chapman. You are giving it life and warmth like I have rarely seen. Thank you.
just recieved and finishedreading your book today. love it.i wassorry it was finished
I just ordered 4 books. I hope to see more of your work and videos.Thank you
I love this stuff. The larger part of my roots are New York German and Dutch and Pennsylvania Dutch. Society is way too fragmented and unconnected today, and this helps tie me to my roots.
My great grandfather, Ed Day was a pow wow. I never met him, as he passed before I was born. He was from Green Springs. I have heard stories from my dad about the pow wowing he did. Also, while for working for a customer during the 90's, I was asked about my last name. The customer remembered, as a boy, being brought to see my great grandfather with his ailment. I have also run into one other person that had apparently been taken to see Ed as a child. I think he would been a practicing pow wow during the 1920's up until his death in 1963.
Hi Rob, I've just seen this video (2016). The healing hand gestures you use remind me very, very much of both Reiki and chi gong healing, which are based in Asian medical ideas of moving stagnant chi (or energy). My grandmother, by the way, was PA Dutch, but I never learned anything about pow wow from her.
I've recently discovered about Powwowing....I am of German-Irish descent. However not part of this particular tradition.
I actually was impressed at what I've seen about the Christian Book, Long lost friend. I have an Islamic background and I was immediately recalling the Islamic practice " Dua' as well as' Ruqyah'...and Taweez' ....protective prayers and charms....which only work when sincere and must be in the name of Allah...that is to say....the God of Abraham.
I am no longer Islamic or Christian. ..I've developed in to Sanatana Dharma, which still has similar practice....but I wanna say this particular practice/ tradition yu are showing is absolutely Beautiful.
My mother told me that her grandmother was a pow wow. Said that many town folk would come to her house to be healed. I am a nurse and work in long term care. One of my patients, who lived in my home town, told me that she was brought to see my great grandmother when she was ill and she healed her. My mother said that she would lay hands on them and quote scriptures from the Bible. I found your information very useful and educating. Thank you.
I am watching a documentary on Prime, that is how I found this channel. Pow Wow medicine is new to me. I do like, unlike western medicine, it includes spiritual health. I look forward to learning more.
Kind regards
This is excellent! Powwow was present and was retained culturally wherever German and German-Swiss settled in America. It did retain a high concentration of influence in the PA Dutch region. Rob has created another thoughtful, well-presnted presntation of and about our sacred art. You can feel safe listening to Rob's videos in that he is a sincere and authortative person of faith.
One of my great grandfathers was a Pow-wow, I'm still researching more into it myself.
I'm curious though how tied this particular practice is to the pre-Christian Germanic Urglaawe roots and their magic-related practices.
there is no such thing as pre-Christian Urglaawe roots or practices, that tradition is entirely modern. There is no connection between Powwow and anything pre-Christian, Nordic, Scandinavian, etc.
@@ThePowwwowFam In fact this is not true. Some anthropologists consider brauche as a time capsule for pre-christian germanic religion
I just found out that I'm a descendant of Pow-wow. My mom just told me she was suppose to learn from her father but he never continued it. I only found out about my families history a couple months ago. I'm so excited to learn more.
yes I am! I recommend his work to anyone who wants to know more about powwowing.
Excellent, excellent!
I'm Pennsylvania Dutch as well. My grandmother grew up Dunkard Brethren and was taken to a PA Dutch Powwow doctor when she was a little girl after getting sick. I never really knew much about powwow doctors, but this is some GREAT insight! Thanks Rob! Totally thumbing this up to show some PA Dutch love!
Wonderful Vid, I work with Powwow (Hexcraft) as a form of Christian Witchery and Healing Art ( I understand many would disagree), I started by study with a person who was trained by Silver Ravenwolf, but felt Powwow truly could not be understood unless it is within the christian context, So i am learning the More Traditional Practice. its always nice to meet other who wish to help keep powwow alive and well, many blessings
You cannot be any type of witch (Hex) and a powwower both. You cannot serve 2 masters!! It doesnt work that way.
But I would like to add that out of the small group of practitioners of Powwow that are known to each other, each one of us has our own take on the system, but we are all from various parts of the country so the different influences are understandable. :)
Hai I am from Fryslân the Netherlands, lived about 25 kilometers from Wytmarsum where Menno Symonds preached.
What Powwow is looks like what we call a striker, not a streaker but it sounds the same.
It is a healer and wenn he dies its passed on to another guy in the community within a few days.
I know someone to this happened, he was on his way to work, passed out and awoke at work.
Was working as a busdriver with his uniform on to work, lost his hat and found it wen biking home in the evening.
The things I took lightly were cemented on that embrodry I am so far removed and know. Isn't it best thing in the world to be adopted unknowingly to have lived a Schneider life with a Penn. Dutch family and to top it all off a eastern star Mother, Margaret Emma. And in the twilight ah I am a free spirit of our Father thru Jesus Christ I remain forever. Thanks for the love you all I move towards what our Father wants from me more. God Bless all that read as you know the way.
I've always been interested in folk magic and healing, stemming from the curanderos my mother would tell me about but I became particularly interested in Pow-wow after reading Brian Keene. Thank you very much for posting, your video is very informative.
Hey Rob, I am totally fascinated by this Rich practice. I'd like to know can a person heal themself using Powwow if they are unable to find a 'Healer" to conduct it for them?
My grandma was cured of diphtheria when she was a child. There was nothing left for the doctor to do and he told her parents to call in the local pow wow doctor. He stayed with her through the night and in the morning her fever broke and a worm was pulled from her mouth above her top front gum. I was wondering if you could help my friend with m.s.?
GGrandmother Sipe (Custer) tried curing my eczema when I was very young with the PW. I remember black ribbon lots of prayer and lots of people standing around us. Didn't work still got it. That was in the early 60s. This was in Somerset County, PS.
My family was Mennonite/Amish, and has been in the York/Lancaster area since the 1700's. It's hard to find information on pow-wow if you don't live in PA anymore!
Very interesting video, but please tone down the background music.
I was always told my great-great grandpa could stop bleeding and remove warts by saying verses from the bible. My family is from west Pennsylvania. My dad said he was a warlock but I knew he couldn't be if he were saying bible verses. This must be what he was doing.
If you want to buy hex signs, look up Jacob Zook on google, you'll find Zook's hex signs are really the best and most authentic. :)
My mother's side immigrated to PA from Germany. They were Mennonite. I love learning about the cultural history of that area.
I'm going to be his Best Man at his wedding.
Hi, Rob! Would you be interested in coming on our podcast to discuss pow-wow?
I hope this message finds you well! I live in a nearby area of Lancaster County and would like to speak with someone regarding protection as it seems curses have been heaped upon my family and I. Any advice would be very much appreciated! God Bless

Only those who don't know the history and culture of the Pennsylvania Germans would disagree... and you are correct, Powwow (in it's most historically and culturally accurate sense) cannot be understood outside of Christianity.
The diphtheria was in the worm. I never forgot the story my grandma told me and my friend desperately needs help because her health is quickly deteriorating.
I recently got a book on our powwow.... I've been learning a lot about the history so far, I love it. Its called The Red Church by: C.R. Bilardi. I notice you use Hex symbols , where can i find some ?
They are early christain painted prayers.
Here is my history of my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather. He built this home and it is still in use today. Does this mean that my line is PA Dutch? I had never heard of the term until today. We have our first family reunion to the "Fritchey Mansion" next September. This information on if we ARE part of the PA Dutch line would be great to find out.

Hello, it's possible he may have been considered a part of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but one of the unifying features of that culture was their shared language, which is often considered to be a bastardized version of German. Many of the Pennsylvania Germans (or Pennsylvania Dietsch/Dutch) weren't actually from Germany. Some, like my own ancestors, were from Austria. Others, like the majority of Amish and Mennonite, were from Switzerland. But they spoke German and came during a major wave of immigration to Pennsylvania and settled in Berks County then later moved to Schuylkill. Location of early immigrants also helps to determine if they were German or Pennsylvania German. it can be confusing. The woman your ancestor married may have been a part of the PA German (PA Dutch) culture, considering she was from Lebanon. I'm sorry I can't give you a direct answer. Only a family tree would be able to give you more specifics. And if you had those Pennsylvania German traditions in your family (the food, some of the holiday customs, the colorful language habits, etc) these would be indicators. Incidentally, I was at Derby Day a few months ago at Mount Hill. It's a beautiful place.
Are you familiar with the work of Dr. David Kriebel?
Where did the powwow verbiage come from?? It's European hexcraft!@
My area of study and interest is Powwow as it pertains to the history and culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch here in Pennsylvania. In that regard, the system is entirely Christian both historically and culturally. Outside of PA, where the practices have melded with other cultural influences and modern neopaganism, certainly there are all sorts of other ideas. But those are beyond my area of interest. In the early days I included some neopagan thought, but not anymore.
some of these practices came from even further back from judaism kabbalah and even further into the pagens
show me.
There are things around you you don't understand they are there and the stuff will bring them around you and you won't be able to get rid of them you don't make your life a hell
Great info but it should be mentioned that many of this culture and its symbolism comes from Germanic and Dutch pre christian Paganism and their symbols. Just because christians colonized somewhere does not mean they own the authenticity of ancient witchcraft.
show me. I no longer take claims like this seriously. Show me.
@@ThePowwwowFam this post was from 6 months ago looser- get on with your life. lol just because the entire world wants to argue doesn't mean everyone does.
@@ThePowwwowFam the eye is from the Hebrew Ayin. It kinda looks like a Y. When you look up sorcery in strong’s concordance for Greek it means pharmakia, where we get the word pharmacy from
maybe you can find me if you search with my email? robchapman73@gmail.com I think that's the best way to do it, I'm not sure...?
im a powwow and im not christian
Storm Zara:.You've been misinformed about powwows. Do not judge something unless you have been to them and know what is said bc we give thanks to our Holy Spirit and Mother Earth. Everyone has religion and we Native Americans were here in America long before the Pennsylvania Dutch were doing powwows. We do not do witch crafting as you call it bc of ignorance on your part. Just bc were Natives doesn't mean we don't believe in God and don't have manners. Next time please stop and think about what you say before you blast another's Race.
This has nothing to do with Native American beliefs. It is you who is misinformed.
***** I apologize, your comment was to someone else. But this video is not about Native American practice or belief. Storm Zara also has it wrong, it is not about witchcraft either.
