More Doves

Now, I know that pigeons and doves are closely related. I also know what they each look like.
I feel the need to say that because while my life has been pretty magical lately, even I sometimes am astounded.
Today I was pulling into a parking lot taking my girls to swim lessons and two cars [...]

Womb Whisperer

While thinking about the term “Womb Whisperer,” I came across this last night:
From the book Shakti Woman: Feeling Our Fire, Healing the World, The New Female Shamanism.
“A woman shaman, like a spider spinning, must learn to lead from the womb. To move our attention from the head to the belly, from the mind to [...]

Grandmother Wisdom

I’m feeling the need to give my other grandmother some credit today.  My father’s mother is the grandmother I spoke of in an earlier post, the one who spoke to animals.  She had many other mystical qualities too, but mostly she was an Earth mother.  She was very much connected to the Earth and its [...]

This Is My Gift

I have suddenly developed a gift for super intuition.  I have been practicing remote healings (really they are energy readings) on friends and people I don’t even know.  Every time I  do this I  know things about them all that I would have had no other way of knowing, other than intuition.
Every time I am [...]

A Shaman’s Feathers

The first time I saw my teacher take out her feather fan, I gasped.  My heart sang and danced.  Just seeing them had an instantaneous and profound affect on me.  They were beautiful.
She wouldn’t let us touch them.
This weekend I found out that they were given to her when the Native People initiated her as [...]

Exercise Your Way Toward Bliss

The next time you’re out walking around try to see everything as if it were YOU. Look at everything as if you are looking in a mirror. Do it for more than a minute. Try it for as long as you can. If judgmental thoughts creep in, let them move on [...]

I Found Him!

 
This picture was taken around 1865.
I  have also ordered this book:
Circle of Fire: The Indian War of 1865
 By John Dishon McDermott
 
It looks like there are several pages in which Black Bear is mentioned.
 
Funny, Black Bear looks like my Uncle Danny & he has a nose like my grandma.

At Camp With Black Bear

I am on a quest to learn more about this once-fierce, warrior, Shaman, Apache (Arapaho) who is now guiding me on my spiritual journey.
I emailed the woman who created the website through which I found out about his authenticity. She has no more information about him other than what she wrote.
Last night before sleep, [...]

Backpack, But No Kid

While I was riding to the place where my oak stands, guess what I came across?
The strung-out-looking-kid-from-the-other-day’s backpack off in the grass on the side of the road near where we had met the other night.
I know it was his. I thought about stopping and looking inside but I didn’t.
