bring the family back together? What do you think he meant by this? When I originally saw this i thought that maybe Jack and Locke would turn out to be related. Guess not now that we have come this far. I'm betting this scene will make alot of sense once it all ends. kinda like six sense where watching it the second time everything makes sense!
I attended a sweat lodge with a Blackfeet/Lakota medicine man in Valley Head, AL. We were in for about 2 hrs, with temperatures close to 180 degrees. I felt like my face was cooking from the steam off the grandfathers(South Dakota granite stones)...but to my surprise, I was fine when I came out. It was a very unique experience...visions and all. Don't knock it if you have never had the honor of attending one.
In a true sweat lodge, a fire is built outside the lodge a few hours prior to entering the lodge. Once the fire and embers are hot enough, several small logs of wood are stragetically place to support the weight of the grandfathers. The grandfathers are stacked on the logs and allowed to heat up in the fire. Eventually, the logs burn enough to collapse, and the grandfathers rest in the hot embers until they, themselves are glowing. They are then transplanted to the pit in the sweat lodge.
The water is poured on the glowing grandfathers themselves. That is why the "fire" is not put out. There is no actual fire inside the lodge, only the glowing grandfathers. Water is used, along with sage and flat cedar(for ritual cleansing purposes). Warning: Do not try this if you don't know what you are doing. Typical granite will explode when heated like this. You have to have a certain type of granite for the grandfathers.
Cool scene, I remember seeing a scene like this in Walker Texas Ranger where they showed the fire inside the lodge. I sure hope nobody is stupid enough to do it that way after watching it on TV, cuz they will die.
if you have questions ... a wizard did it

there is no smoke hole in a sweat lodge, if you burned wood it would be filled with choking smoke
