Because God knows you better even than you know yourself, and loves you more than you will ever know. Because God desires relationship with you; God wants to be known as a loving Parent and a Friend.
What is God called in the Lakota religion?
WRONG
The Lakota were not monotheist, different names exist for a multitude of gods.
The Lakota were pantheistic. Wakan Tanka is many and one. It's a pantheistic philosophy, of sorts.
CORRECT:
The Lakhóta along with the rest of the Plains Indians were and still are monothiestic. They believe in a multitude of spirits such as the spirits of the four winds or the four cardinal directions. Spirits of the mountains, rivers, lakes, sky, weather, thunder, wind, rocks, trees etcétera. But they believe in only one god, God who is over mankind, other animals ant over sll the spirit-gods.
Wakhan Thanka means big or great mystery or power. This power is unseen and ever powerful. When the Plains Indians pray they pray first to the four cardinal directions one at a time. Than their prayers are directed to Grandmother Earth, and lastly to the big almighty one in the sky (day or night) who is God Wakhan Thanka. Their belief: after going through rounds of prayer loading the prayer pipe with tobacco (prayers are said as each pinch of tobacco is put into (loaded) the pipe. (Can take an hour or more in a Sweat Lodge). A prayer is offered until the pipe is full. Then a few more rounds of prayer are offered. Each round they prayers become more intense and elaborate. Finally the Prayer Pipe is lit and passed around as yet more prayers to God Wakhan Thanka are offered until the tobacco is used up. They believe that the smoke from the burning tobacco carries their prayers to God in Heaven.
The Arapaho are extremely religious. They can spend 4 to 6 hours praying in a Sweat Lodge while sweating profusely.
Why is the laurel a symbol of Apollo?
It relates back to the story of Apollo and Daphne (which is an allegory for why dew disappears after the sun rises, but also describes the danger in insulting the immortals). In it, Apollo is struck by one of Eros' arrows (because the god had chided the cherubic son of Aphrodite for playing with a man's warlike instrument) and falls irrevocably in love with a Nymph named Daphne. Eros also shot one of his lead arrows at Daphne making her revile the next person she would see. As Apollo approaches, she tries to escape, but he pursues relentlessly. As her strength fails, she calls out to her father, the river god Peneus, who helps her by transforming her into a tree. That tree was the Laurel.
