The Stars Return

Tonight begins a three-day ceremony. At sunset, the gate to the Spirit World opens and welcomes our ancestors down from the heavens and into our homes. Loved ones return and sit with us. Take an up-close viewing of our lives. With us. A firm hand on the shoulder, offering silent support or a loving word whispered in the ear, reminds us. Reminding me, I’m not alone, they are still with me. Perhaps they never left me.

Tonight and into the night, the gates are open. I’ve prepared a special bit of medicine to be burned before I sleep. With the intention to invite my ancestors into my dreams to perhaps have a meeting or a few meetings. The intention to remember them and be reminded of the love shared between us. Perhaps a chance to say something unsaid. Perhaps express something unexpressed. Grieving, allowing those tears to finally flow. A chance to wake up feeling lighter, even if you don’t remember what was said or expressed. Waking and knowing that a visitation happened.

Everything I am ready to let go of, I am gifting that to them to take back to the heavens. Perhaps it will help them shine that much brighter.

There are times my thoughts can’t be expressed in words. There is no order in my conscious mind. A situation or circumstance shatters on the floor creating an elaborate jigsaw puzzle. A mixture of thoughts and emotions swirls together as it gets reassembled by figures of my subconscious mind. Constructs given life by my experience. My reality and understanding given breath. We start with the edges and work our way through. While others bring tea and snacks. We all sit together piecing together my words which in the end appears strained glass to be pkaced into a window for the light to dance through, filling the room with colour.

Wishing you a blessed Equinox ✨
At this time of balanced day and night, the duality between light and dark becomes heightened and tangible, and with it comes the opportunity of reflection and spiritual transformation. In the cycle of birth, life, and death, we are reminded that often things must die before they can become reborn. The flower must wither and fade before it can release its seeds, the salmon must return to freshwater, the place of her birth, and surrender her life in order to release her eggs. We must breathe in and out to survive, a balance of yin and yang, giving and receiving. Spiritual ascent requires descent first, and through this willingness to go deep within ourselves we face own inner darkness, shining the light of understanding and acceptance. This is the alchemy of transformation, turning our shadow into pure gold.

A Simple Guide

I began my journey when I was 11 years old, but when I was 8 year I realized there was more to the world then what we normally acknowledge as a people. Having this deeper connection to the earth and I found it impossible not to step forward to cultivate a relationship with the worlds around me. I do mean worlds, there is what we can see and that we don’t see and how we interact with them depends on how we choose to live. Often our choices have impact on these places, often we don’t take notice. Only when we choose to open our eyes can we understand what I mean. When I say worlds, there are those that assume I’m speaking about the Astral plain and Netherworld. It’s interesting ... but it not what I’m talking about at all. I do work with in those realms but... that is only a facet of what being a Shaman is.

When I began my journey into Dream Work, even those I was so young. I was taught to able to understand myself better. Everything there was a part of me and helped me hear my own story. Being taught about myself, from aspects of me who often took the form of people I love and respect. Some characters took a form all their own. Together I was taught to accept my demons and see their true natures.

Of course when I say demons, I mean the shadow that lives inside us and thus my journey into Shadow Work began. Shadow and Its forms being, fear, anger, regret and pain, whatever the Shadow is for you. It is born of our choices, events that we lived and often hold us back. A great part of the work is overcoming these things that limit us, to see and accept who we are. Dreams help us see these thing about ourselves, they help us better understand the how we feel and think. In dreams you can explore a realm a possibility and discover an inner truth that exists inside you.

In answering these questions and discovering these truths inside myself helped me to better understand my connection to Spirit. To gain a deeper understanding of energy and how it moves through and around the body. How that energy relates to the rest of the world? Through working with the chakra did I begin to understand how I as a human can relate to the worlds around me, and further my understanding of life and my journey
