by erratic I mean when the weather drops 60 degrees overnight as it did for some friends in Tennessee last year, and you lose a lot of your crops. Maybe I should have stated erratic weather....instead of weather "patterns". We're all hearing about unusual weather; how does this effect crops, our medicinal plants or food sources? so I mean stuff out of the ordinary.
and this is what came up as the #1 item on the list in my shamanic journey about what we (our shamanic circle) needed to learn in 2008. This surprised me. so I've asking people how they work with weather. some people say that they would never do this. and people have been doing rain dances for eons.
Went to Gregg Braden's presentation last night in Seattle. He brought up his experience with feeling prayer and a rain dance. After a long drought in New Mexico, a Native American friend of his did a "rain dance" in an area where this had been done by his people for eons. (this entailed going into a trance where he was rain, feeling rain, dancing rain, being rain) In a couple of days it started to rain. problem being that it rained so much that it flooded and cattle were stranded. When Gregg asked his friend about this, his friend responded that this is the part that his elders never got this part! (surprising answer)
I'll let you k now what I find out in my journies!
