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.
I asked my guide Charlie (big raven, very wise) to help me talk with the Great Pyramid at Giza today.
It was interesting. The Pyramid was a very old spirit. It thought of me as an infant.
The Pyramid was talking to and through the black hole Sagittarius A at the center of the Milky Way.
Apparently, there are ancient Pyramids on planets all over the galaxy that are communication and energy channels.
The Pyramid had little to say to me. I'm too young and uninteresting to it.
My guide Charlie told me that the Sphinx is an interesting character, but we didn't get to talk to it today.
I spoke with my Sicilian grandmother a bit. We were in our old kitchen from when I was a child. She told me that a time was coming where we would have to learn to grow things like the spices she used to grow outside our kitchen window.
She also said Mom was doing better, but that she'd had a really rough exit.
Nono has apparently moved on to his next incarnation.
Aunt Felicia popped in briefly, just to say hello.
I have to admit, I have a tough time focusing on the journey while I'm drumming. I feel distracted, somehow. It's easier for me to journey if someone else is doing the drumming.
Past: Mannaz inverted - Mankind, the Self, Friends, Enemies, The Social Order. (I see this as society not being on the same page I'm on, not seeing the same big picture as I do.)
Present: Sowilo - The Sun, Success, Goals Realized, Honor. (I see this as some successes I've had at work and in my personal life)
Future: Kenaz - Torch, Vision, Revelation, Creativity, Technical Ability. (I see this as both learning new skills at work, and as getting better at my chosen spiritual path - which is uniquely my own.)
Obstacle: Othala, sideways - Heirlooms, Heritage, Land of Birth. (I see this as the utter chaos the USA is being subjected to. It's like the country I grew up in is being dismantled, torched, axed, and sledgehammered. It will need rebuilding.)
