I call to All from every corner of the World to Join in Prayer on this Day of Winter Solstice!
I call to all those hidden in the Shadows to step into the Light
As we enter into the Season of Frost may we remember all the many things that have happened in our lives. May the Good, Bad and Indifferent resonate within so we may holster that energy and allow it to empower each and everyone of us to grow stronger, gentler, empathetic and filled with compassion for others.
It is time to step into our power and become the best version of self. It is time to flush out those shadowed spaces and allow positives of the future to find us.
As I stand and look to the sky, I see Possibilities. I feel Hope, I feel Faith all is not lost, that somehow we will find our true paths and allow it to empower our very Souls. Shadows and negatives will never go away, but we need to understand that we can help attain and keep a balance, but only if we work together.
May the Blessings of the Season’s Solstice find you and lift you to a place of Understanding and Love.
So it is said, so may it be so. ~ bear Medicinewalker
We are living in an unprecedented time. We are bearing witness to many ugly and hateful things. Things that many are unable to understand how it is we are to assist in bringing back balance to the world. Violence is a common day occurrence. It is one of the Worlds darkest hours. War, Hate and much more circle us all, pulling us in an a seemingly tight grasp we are All trying to break away from.
It is time for us all to listen and take pause as to how we must be instruments of balance. No easy feat for sure, but we can if we work together attain what it is we seek. We must look to our Past to find our Future. There were many Prophecies among the Tribal Councils over the years. A foretelling of the times we live. Read and take to heart the messages that we all should remember and embrace.
An Elder from the ‘Cree’ tribe, whose name was named ‘Eyes of Fire,’ who prophesied that one day, due to the White race, we would be witness to a time fish would die in the streams, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, and the trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist.
‘There would come a time when the ‘keepers of the legend, stories, culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs’ would be needed to restore us to health. The key to survival, will be the ‘THE WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW. all the peoples of all the tribes would form together a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and Creators Healing Grace. Brining in a Balance of All on the Great Mother Earth.
Warriors will have many tasks ahead of them. There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance to conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be dedicated, unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart. They will find willing hearts and minds that will follow them on this road of returning everything to balance and harmony.
The Anishinabe Nations, from the Great Lakes area, speak about the Seven Fires Prophecy. The Voice of the Ojibway, 1988.
The Seventh Prophet that came to the people long ago was said to be different from the other prophets. This prophet was described as ‘young and had a strange light in his eyes’ and spoke …
“In the time of the Seventh Fire New People will emerge. They will retrace their steps to find what was left by the trail. Their steps will take them to the Elders who they will ask to guide them on their journey. But many of the Elders will have fallen asleep. They will awaken to this new time with nothing to offer. Some of the Elders will be silent because no one will ask anything of them. The New People will have to be careful in how they approach the Elders. The task of the New People will not be easy.
“If the New People will remain strong in their quest the Water Drum of the Midewiwin Lodge will again sound its voice. There will be a rebirth of the Anishinabe Nation and a rekindling of old flames. The Sacred Fire will again be lit. It is this time that the light skinned race will be given a choice between two roads. If they choose the right road, then the Seventh Fire will light the Eighth and final Fire, an eternal fire of peace, love brotherhood and sisterhood.
A purge is occurring each moment we breathe, I ask all of those among us that are strong, that are peaceful Warriors… Warriors of Change step up and walk with Us as the Rainbow Warriors we signed on to be before time, all time.
The Spear of Destiny… The Holy Lance, the weapon that is believed to have entered the side of Jesus while He was on the cross. Even today there are those that believe it is a holy relic or it holds miraculous power that can heal and much more.
The Roman Centurion Longinus was the one that wielded the spear, and his sight was returned to normal as he had been going blind. After this occurred, he then turned his faith towards Jesus Christ. Later in life he was crucified for those same beliefs. The Spear itself was said to have been handed down to People of Power throughout history. Joseph of Arimathea is said to have then carried it too Britain.
After many hands and many stories, today there are 4 lances that are claimed to be the original Spear. The most popular is the one that is kept in Vienna. They also had this one tested, although some of it came back as being made after Jesus was said to walk on the earth. However, the odd thing was the nail that was also attached to it, was tested and said to have dated back to the correct time period.
So as I channeled this painting, what I kept hearing was, it is all a matter of Faith. So as this painting continued to change and emerge, it finally made sense. No matter what a person believes, it is all a matter of Faith to accept the positives, to ask for help from Creator God, to have healing occur. It represents what we all need as human, some sort of evidence that these miracles are real, that we all can be healed, that we are worthy of all of it.
So, as you sit during your day, allow yourselves to heal, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Remind yourselves you are worthy of good things, of love and happiness. Also know that we have to add some work to it and sometimes that work can be difficult. Sometimes life strikes so hard we get knocked down. When that happens … get UP, and begin remembering we are people, human beings that are here to experience what life is all about. But how we react will become our own destiny. It is all up to us what direction it takes us.
Talk to the Animals! If you are old like me you will remember the Movie Dr. Dolittle, Disney even made their own version with Eddie Murphy. However, I remember it in a different way as all my life I thought everyone could hear and talk with animals… all creatures for that matter. So much so my Mom started calling me Dr. Dolittle because I brought home every creature imaginable. From Bats and Frogs to Cats and Dogs, see I even rhyme the same! But seriously I always could hear and feel the emotions and thoughts they would share with me.
I often get asked, what does going on with my dog, or turtle? For me it is simple, because I see them and hear them… because all creatures matter to me. The thing is we can all learn a thing or two from the creatures of the world even the tiniest ant. So how can you hear them? Well the biggest challenge is to get out of your own way. What does that mean? It means that people in todays world are mostly wrapped up in self and don’t see the life around them. Sorta like they are missing the point, which is we need to find our compassion and empathy for all living things, not just the things that are about self.
Take the Elephants for example. Did you know that they are so intelligent and have emotions that match human feelings? Did you know they grieve and honor their members of their families? Do you ever stop and watch an anthill that ants created and wonder at how they are all working together to allow their community to thrive? So many lessons we could learn from them. There has even been instances when a animal takes in and cares for a creature of another species. It’s fascinating to say the least.
So how can you do it? How can you understand them talking or what they want? Well all you have to do is slow down long enough to understand their behavior, be willing to spend time with them and they will share with you many things. Some even have a sense of humor. What did I just say? Yes animas like to play, they also pout, grieve, love and dislike. We are all capable of it… it’s whether or not we want to take the time to.
Orcas for instance, they used to call them Killer Whales, I hated that name… they are Orcas an amazing creature that is fiercely protective of their pod, their young ones. They are the Guardians of the Oceans and Knowledge.
Their songs speak to us of healing from deep within our souls. Listen as they begin calling in positive vibrations of thought and sound. Orca’s guide us through the depths of our own emotions allowing us to explore and mend self more effortlessly by moving with the waves of life, rather than against. They help us access the Ancestor’s knowledge that is buried deep within our own DNA that is the key to all that is Sacred.
Orca shares about how we need to search your soul… looking inward is the only way that we can move forward in positive motions at this time. They teach us to understand self and give us a clear view to set our intention of what is needed in the situation for the highest good. Orca share that confronting our emotions that are out of control by making connections that are needed between our conscious and subconscious to bring about the balance we need in our Sacred Hoops.
Every Creature has purpose… has lessons that we can learn by listening and observing them as they go through their own daily lives. Another question I often get asked is, what is my totem? I am simply going to give you the response….”We don’t choose our totems. Our totems choose us!” This is one of the first basic concepts of Totems. Totems are hard to explain at times, but what we need to understand is what a totem is before we can comprehend what it means to follow their teachings. Once we understand the concept, it helps us to learn the messages they then have to offer and teach us.
Animals show up to us as a spiritual sign or entity. They come to share and teach the knowledge they hold to help and assist us with our own lives, how to relate to others and the world around us. Animals are not worshiped, we follow the teachings they offer, we incorporate the way they deal with life into our own to help us move in positive steps on our paths. We don’t control them and often it is difficult to explain our draw or affinity to them… yet there is a deep connection inside of us that responds to them when the show up in our lives. Why is this… because it simply is.
So look at your lives, open your hearts and cherish the things the Creatures great and small share with us. Look to them to assist you with your own lives, and every now and then Talk to Them because they love to interact!
I have been asked the story of the Spiritwalkers so I thought I would take some time to share with you all.
As an Artist and a Spiritual Reader when I work in any medium artistically, I allow spirit to work through me. I let the work or piece tell its own story. With wood, it leads me to pull the story from it, one that is buried deep within the grain. With clay it comes out as Spiritwalkers, spirit manifesting itself and bringing energy to each sculpture that is formed. I can try to create something I want, but that stops two seconds into the work, for Spirit says uh uh…
When I am done it whispers a name, and is very specific. Once a person finds it or is called to the individual piece, it then offers a blessings as it makes that connection with the person it is going to. No two are ever the same, they tell me what is needed to be added, perhaps a crystal or sweetgrass. some cedar or leather. I never know until it is completed. I then fire them and they are ready to share the knowledge they brought through with the ones they call to.
The energies can be felt from them are very different from each other, and for the most part they are extremely bossy with me to complete them. I know to some this may sound crazy, and there are days i wonder about it myself…But I can tell you that I have been schooled over and over again by these “Little People” of the Spirit world. And it has been given to me as one of the many things I am to share with the world. New ones are being created and others have found their homes.
* I am currently working on new ones that will be available soon!
It is not our purpose to own the material. It is however our purpose to experience Life’s every experience as we walk the Human. In that, all that matters is our potential growth into understanding and learning about the paths we walk.
Time to travel deep within our souls and allow it to reveal the very purpose of being. Don’t look to others for answers, but rather guidance. We need to live a life of compassion and empathy for others. We need to rediscover the origins of the Ancestors. Treat each other as we would care and treat ourselves. Remember that all life and matter on the planet is but a gift we are to take care of. Every life matters and inter connects with each other… everything that draws breath.
If you are asking yourself why does that matter, the answer is simple; We begin from energy. We continue to change with each moment, and when we leave our human forms, we are but energy once again. So seek calm and peace. Value that above all else. Honor your journey by understanding the difference between wants and needs. We have been given all that we need to live our life as the great Mother Earth freely offers her bounties.
Look deep within and clear all that is not needed as you walk. Look to the things we should be caring for, which is care and love of oneself and others.
Today the Energies may feel like they are surging, amping things up. Be wary aware of what you want to say or do before stepping into it. Trust your instincts not the emotion of things today. This will allow you to walk in a more balanced way. And remember we do not have to be someone else’s version of perfect, but rather our own imperfect self which is the best we are at our souls core. Yes I said IMPERFECT… because that’s what makes us all fit into the world and keeps us on our paths. We are walking trying to be in balance and also learning and growing during our life experiences. So step into it today lightly, and find some joy in your day!
Desert Wolf also known as Coyote, as trickster, comes to us this day to share its wisdom’s, teaching us that it is sometimes a good thing to laugh at oneself in order to not get caught up in the pain that sometimes comes with life choices and lessons. It is about finding the balance of learning what life teaches and has to share, and when it is time to relax, enjoy and have some fun.
Desert Wolf teaches us to be stealth and observe what we need to see, opening our senses to see the bigger picture of a situation. They speak of using distraction to change outcomes to more positive ones, by utilizing intelligence and good common sense, which often many do not take the time to stop and remember. One of the most amazing skills they offer us is the use of voice and communication to let ourselves be heard, but to also warn that at times, when people use their voices it can be for hidden agenda’s that will not be in positive tones. So pay attention, listen closely so that you may understand and decipher what it is that is actually being said and stay adaptable to what must be done in the situation.
Desert Wolf tells us above all make sure we look at our own self, walk in positives not in deceptive or manipulative ways to get what you want. Look at what truly is motivating you, be honest with self and then stand in the Sacred Hoop to balance. Remembering what you do to respect self, will mirror to the world around you.
Blessings,
