This is my personal journal on my journey into the way of Shamanism. I am a beginner, and my teachers are magazine articles, books, and spirit guides. I have much to learn. I have also learned quite a bit. Life is like that; a constant cycle of change hopefully guided by the wisdom of the past, yet embracing the needs of the present and mysteries of the future. The moment is always now.

Swift...
I found this little guy in the Autumn display aisle at WinCo. Last one there.
Caught my *eye,* and inspired me too.
I'm going to find small totems like this for each of the four Seasons to keep in my traveling altar.
I'll look for Winter when her time is here, and Spring followed by Summer in their times.
Right now is Autumn's time, and I'm letting her totem animal Swift spend some time with me.

09-25-2022 Drum Ceremony
Flew with Charlie Messenger above hurricane Ian. Charlie is a Raven for me, his spirit job is similar to Mercury/Hermes in the Greco-Roman pantheon. He becomes a Thunderbird to fly at these heights and above storms like this.
I thanked Ian for doing what it must, and no more than it must. I had a sense of agreement, not in words, but in feeling.
I spoke with Gramma Enid, but that is private.
I was asking the Spirits (my guides) about my tribe. (AQ62) The answer that came back was to the effect of "You don't tell stars which way to cross the sky, do you?" My answer was simply to as Spirit to be with them in flight.
Lastly, I had a question about the future of my career. Odin rested a hand on my shoulder and told me I already knew. For emphasis, a White Buffalo appeared and in no uncertain terms told me to fight for the Earth, to stand with Turtle Island.
Finally I was working with Thrum to get better at drumming, and called back as Charlie and I were finishing our conversation.
I pulked three runes of the Elder Futhark at the end.
Past: Berkano, not inverted.
Present: Sowilo.
Future: Thurizas, not inverted.
Thank you to the ancestors, spirits, and Deities who chose to bless this ceremony, give wisdom, and participate.

The Guardians of Atlantis
During my journey this evening, bI went into the depths of Mother Ocean.
There I met the Eye of Leviathan, a great Blue Whale so large that I couldn't see all of him.
I was told to remember to the world what dolphins are, to honor them.
Dolphins are the ancient Guardians of Atlantis. They are our brothers and sisters in the Sea.
All of the old maritime cultures from Phonecia to Norse, Greek to Egyptian knew this in their hearts.
Harming whales and dolphins is an assault on an ancient bond.
Let their playfulness and compassion remind you. Pray that if you are ever in trouble upon the Sea they find you.
