working with the weather

2008-05-03T05:05:08Z

We have a monthly shamanic group here in Seattle, and at our last circle I did a journey and the question I asked was "what is it would be beneficial for us in our shamanic circle to learn in 2008?" I went immediately up to the upper world where I was placed in front of an advisory committee.
They shot off a list.
Number 1 on the list was about the Weather. The message i got was there is going to be erratic weather patterns in 2008. As earth stewards you are going to learn to work with the weather to protect your food sources, your plants and animals.
I've worked with intentionally with weather with perelandra methods and by feeling/being sunshine and sending that out into the universe. and that's about it. I would love to hear about your experiences, and I'll keep you all posted.

so, my question is, "how do we as Earth Stewards work with irratic weather patterns.

Building relationships with fairies

2008-05-01T00:22:15Z

In recent years, many people have learned how to tune into angels, fairies and other spiritual beings to ask for guidance. Spiritual beings do have much to offer us, and we can benefit greatly from their input. The current environmental and earth changes have created a vital need for us to reciprocate, to give back to spiritual beings, to help them as they also deal with these changes. This is especially true of the Fairy realm, those who are closely connected to the physical planet and its well being.

There are many things that we can do for the fairies, both energetically and physically. One of the most powerful and simple things we can do is to give them offerings. The traditional offering gift is one of food, such as bread or cake, or fermented beverage, such as wine or beer. The idea is to give them something from nature that has been transformed by human energy, so that we are giving them something of ourselves. A gift of wine can be poured directly into the ground, one of food may be left out for the fairies to partake of its essence. Since the fairies do not consume the physical part, you should return later to remove the remains.
If you are leaving an offering in a wild area and aren’t able to return later, it is good to leave healthy, organic food that won’t be harmful to birds or other small creatures.

Some people make special cakes just for the fairies. You can also give them a portion of something you make for yourself, like a slice off of a loaf of bread, or one cookie out of a batch. Traditionally you are supposed to give to the fairies before you partake of it yourself, I have found the fairies where I live aren’t too picky about that - if I’m hungry and happen to eat one first before I go out to offer one, they still appreciate it! Factory-made foods don’t have as much vital energy, and generally don’t make very good offerings.

Different cultures do have different traditions regarding offerings. In the Native American tradition, tobacco and cornmeal are often used. In my experience, these are appropriate if you have a personal connection with that culture, or if the spirits in question specifically ask for them.
Listen to your own intuition for what feels right.

Fairies also enjoy spontaneous natural art as an offering, like creating a small sculpture out of twigs, lichen, small rocks, pine cones, any natural material that may be found on site. Remember that fairies like color, so incorporate rocks or leaves of different colors to make it beautiful. In general, cut flowers are NOT an appropriate offering, as they are nature’s creation and not ours to offer. Dried flowers can be appreciated however, especially in winter when there isn’t much other color around. A favorite offering of the fairies where I live is a circle of dried flowers on snow, with a stick of incense in the middle. I use a mixture of lavender, rose petals, and calendula or marigold for a nice color palette. Another idea, if you have a yard or live in a natural area, is to light a candle in the window at night, offering the light to the fairies.

You can also go into nature and offer a song especially for the fairies.
They like flute and melodic instruments, as well as voices singing in harmony. Crystal bowls, chimes, harp, bells . . . use your imagination. But it should be live music and not electronic. Playing heavy metal on a boom box isn’t appropriate!

Offerings can also be energetic rather than physical. A very basic one is to find a place in nature, take time to notice and observe the beauty around you using all of your senses, then focus on sending out waves of gratitude and appreciation. Speak to the fairies (you can do it silently if there are other people around!), and let the energy flow from your heart. One of my favorite offerings is to go sledding in winter, and as I am sliding down the hill I send out all my energy of fun, joy and happiness to the fairies. They love that one!

An important element when giving offerings and building relationships with fairies is to be consistent. Making repeated offerings through time, especially at the same place, works very strongly to build potency in your relationship. Just like with human friends - if you meet someone once, they are an acquaintance, it takes time and repeated meetings to become friends. Frequent, small offerings are more important than large, fancy
occasional offerings. These offerings support and nourish the fairies,
strengthening their presence and making it easier for them to withstand and transmute some of the negative environmental impacts they have to deal with. In this way we are re-establishing the alliance that once existed between humans and fairies.

Improper "Big Pharma" Influence in Medicine is VERIFIED!

Improper "Big Pharma" Influence in Medicine is VERIFIED!

This is a BIG step in the right direction for health care in the USA! It has been no secret, but no one was talking about it since the monetary benefits that many doctors are receiving from these companies made this unlikely. I mean - if you were the type to only care about money (which is why many become doctors in the first place), wouldn't you want a free trip to Cancun by putting other people on basically unproven and even harmful chemical substances?

Catherine D. De Angelis, MD, MPH and Phil B. Fontanarosa, MD, MBA have submitted this timely (and likely unwelcome) article into the April 16, 2008 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), entitled "Impugning the Integrity of Medical Science - the Adverse Effects of Industry Influence."

What is even more awesome is that this was broadcast on the same day on the morning edition of Talk Radio's "Paul Harvey" show, so this information has come to the attention of many Americans today!

I am happy to see that some doctors do in fact have some integrity. This may also be an opening for safer alternative methods to be approved by the AMA for doctors to use and not feel like they will have their medical licensing taken away if they recommend a proven herbal remedy (as an example) instead of the new designer drugs of the day. I hope this allows them the courage to step forward now that the door has been opened!

We can help by showing this to our medical providers (if you have those) this article, and telling them about this, they can maybe take additional steps as doctors to become more able to practice alternative and natural techniques without risking their careers. Also, tell your friends in any way you can, so that they can demand alternative therapies be implemented or they will go elsewhere now that this article ought to free up other practitioners to use these methods. This also provides some validation for Alternative practitioners who have known about these dangers all along. Health care freedom (and responsibility) is up to all of us - please spread the message!

What happens to the nature spirits when land is cleared or developed?

2008-03-14T00:09:18Z

Where Do the Fairies Go?
By: Camilla Blossom Bishop

What happens to the nature spirits when land is cleared or developed?
Where do the devas, fairies, nature spirits, elementals go? Can we make
this process easier for them? How can we build our homes and develop
properties with greater reverence and harmony towards Nature and the
spirits that infuse the land?

It doesn’t matter what you call them the shining ones, fairies, devas,
nature spirits, elementals, gnomes, elves, Tinkerbell, or sprites.
Their energies flow through nature and the landscape, places, flowers,
plants, trees, land, soil, and elements. They give life to everything!
Without these beings, there would be no nature, no earth. They are
responsible for the growth and patterning of nature. Fairies are the
true developers of the land. When we act blindly, we disregard the
harmony within nature, ourselves, and the earth we inhabit.

I drive by land that is being cleared for buildings and feel a sense of
loss. Not so much because some one is creating a new home or building,
but because it feels like there is little regard for the other forms of
life that have lived in harmony in this place for many, many years.
Often the lot is completely cleared of everything to create a clean
slate. What has actually happened is a complete community of nature
beings has been displaced. Some of these nature spirits pull in
discordant emotional energies from negative human interactions and
become discordant themselves creating uneasy vortexes of energy in the
landscape. This can disrupt human activities and create distressing
vibes or feelings of uneasiness in a place.

There is a stream bank that I drive by in Hood River that was cleared
for construction. My gut felt uneasy every time I drove by. I could
sense the nature beings and land were screaming out NO! We do not
want you to build here! They went ahead and built office buildings
right next to the stream bank. Within a few weeks of opening the
building, a water main broke and flooded the building. The building had
to be closed, and emptied, and the offices re-located for six months
because of a serious mold problem. More recently, the building was
temporarily closed due to sprinkler system issues.

How can we avoid this? My friend Tomhas Twintrees, a builder of homes
aligned with sacred geometry and author of House As Teacher: Building
the Future, Now told me he tells home builders to sleep on the land for
a week or so before proceeding with any building plans. It helps to
slow down, l. Listen to the land, the beings, feel the flow. Dream . Be
very flexible in every moment of the building process. Shift and change
as needed. Find where your home wants to be, not where you want your
home to be.

Astrologer and essence maker Mark McNutt made an essence of the land,
flowers, plants, and energies exactly where his new house was to be
situated. As he told me this, I could sense the power of this beautiful
act of reverence. He had captured the beauty of place and honored the
work of the devas. He had communicated his intention to create a home
in this place, but preserved the specific energies through making an
essence. This simple act of love helped him create a very special home.

It helps to consciously communicate with the nature spirits and release
your guilt about human activities. I arrived at a friend’s house as
they were cutting a few Cottonwood trees to create a better mountain
view. Pregnant and feeling very unsettled, Nancy asked me what we could
do? She loved the fairies and nature spirits but felt helpless in this
situation. Before her husband cut the trees, we created a circle and
said a few prayers of thanks to the fairies and devas for their
outstanding work. We also communicated what we were doing, that we were
cutting several trees. We offered that they could find new homes, new
jobs, or be released to their next assignment. And we sent loving
intentions for peace and happiness. The shift of energy was palatable.
We could feel the strong divine presence of fairies and nature beings
in a state of gratitude and peace. The trees were cut. We then
collected the Ccottonwood buds and I made an infused oil for Nancy’s
growing belly. The tree gave its final medicine with gratitude, and we
received it with gratitude.

Without attention to the nature spirits and intention to create
harmony, the cleared land and nature spirits can become disrupted. Many
of the fairies that get displaced wander around in a lost state not
knowing how to move out of it. In The Dalles, we were working to
harmonize some of the riverfront lands when the nature deva of the area
appeared in a state of confusion. She looked like she was wrapped in
gauze. In communication I found her in a very weakened state. She asked
for permission and assistance to move! We were guided that this was
appropriate so I offered her this opportunity thinking she just needed
help crossing to another section of the property. She entered my
special stone and then I placed the stone in my basket. We asked her
where she wanted to go. She said to your home. So I brought her to my
home. In certain cases, assisting with re-location is the best
solution.

In 2005, a group of us re-located a large group of fairies and nature
beings with R. J. Stewart at Skalitude Retreat Center in the Northern
Cascades. Their home on the East Coast was being developed so they
needed a new home. They were carried across the country in a flute. As
the flute music played, we witnessed a beautiful outpouring of joyful
energy into the landscape. One fairy even jumped into my flute!

Human action to protect nature is very important! It is acknowledged
deeply by nature spirits. There is a huge beautiful beech tree in Hood
River that was almost cut down by builders, but citizen protest kept it
alive. It now stands proudly on the corner of Cascade and 7th near a
row of townhouse adding valuable shade, beauty, and wisdom to this
place. I was driving by one day and could hear and feel incredible
waves of love and gratitude from this tree. I pulled over and sat with
the tree. The next morning, during my meditation I was guided back to
the tree in my mind's eye.

The tree spoke:
Thank you humans for saving me. You have touched me deeply. I will
grace this corner for a long time. And remember, your neighbors include
more than just people.

Another way to learn how to work more cooperatively with nature spirits
is to attend the Fairy and Human Relations Congress (June 23-25, 2006)
in Twisp, Northern Washington Cascades). Fairies and humans gather to
commune and establish deeper connections with one another. Many
messages and energetic transmissions come through from other realms for
the humans attending including photographs of orbs and magical
merriment. There are many opportunities to learn how to re-connect with
the fairy realms and work more cooperatively with them.

Last year in Scotland, humans protected a fairy colony by calling the
developers of a new housing estate and getting the attention of the
planning department. They would come to the site and shout Don’t move
that rock. You’ll kill the fairies. Developers were forced to scrap
plans and re-design their whole estate considering the fairy housing
areas. In Iceland, President Vigdis and the Chief of Police regard the
belief and protection of fairy habitat very important for the harmony
of their country. A majority of the citizens in Iceland believe in
fairies and nature beings.

When you have an opportunity to take an action on behalf of the
shining ones don’t hesitate. They will be eternally gratefully and
grace us with their blessings. Your life and land will be enriched as
you create safe, wild places in nature. Even a small wild area on a
property adds magical, harmony and balance for everyone. Better yet,
reclaim land or places and ask the fairies and nature spirits to
return! Use your imagination to create homes and habitats for them.
Open your heart to connecting with them and be present for some magical
changes all around you.

Color Experiments with Leprechauns

2008-03-14T00:06:08Z

I saw a leprechaun in the most pure green, magical place. Green was everywhere and it feel good. The leprechaun led me on a path. We walked by amazing sea/plant looking creatures of all different pastel hues—pinks, cream, coral colors. I felt like I was floating instead of walking though. “You’re trying too hard,” said the leprechaun. “OK,” I tried harder to not try so hard. “Take it easy, relax.” I did and landed on the ground. We walked further to meet the other leprechauns. They were happy to have a human to conduct some experiments with color and the emotional body’s response to the different colors. So they showed me lots of beautiful, colorful things. These weren’t ordinary colors, these were colors from other realms and dimensions and seemed very exaggerated for our world. The colors were quite beautiful and used in strange and interesting ways. They observed my emotional body in my aura to find out how the different colors were affecting me emotionally. I could sense and feel some of the shifts in my energy system as my body danced with color.

Enthnosphere & Lanuages being Old-Growth Forest of the Mind

2007-12-22T04:46:21Z

Ethnosphere online video by Wade Davis, a National Geopgraphic Explorer.: http://www.ted.com/talks

This video is excellant and and worth listening to. Wade is also coming to Seattle to give a talk this February. If you want more details post me a question on my blog module on my tribe page.

Wade talks about the ethnosphere as being the sum of all the "thoughts and dreams, ideas and myths, institutuions and aspirations, brought about by the human imagination."

He is speaks passionately about preserving the ethnosphere especially through the indigenous languages. He sais "every language is an old-growth forest of the mind....an entire ecosystem of spiritual possiblities"

It is worth the time to listen to this free online video that runs about 15 minutes or so.
