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.
Dan
