Wow this is confirmation. I am a dumb white boy with very little knowledge of indigenous wisdom. Last year Santa Muerte started appearing to me and began guiding me on a path of transformation. I knew nothing about her either. I spent most of my spiritual life as a devotee of Mother Kali and am initiated in Sri Vidya Tantra lineage. However, recently terrible things happened to me and I am undergoing a huge shift in my awareness of things. Been doing cleansing ceremonies and drawn to learn indigenous wisdom. I have a black cat who has been super lovey lately when I have been asking about connecting to my animal totem. I used to call him my panther. Have been trying to learn how to journey to the Lower world to heal my subconscious false beliefs, connect with my ancestors, and to retrieve parts of my soul caught in negative cycles. I love my blessed Santisima and am so grateful for the miracles she is showing me every day. Thank you for your beautiful teaching sir. It has come at the perfect time in my life
We have all the directions and the archetypes inside us and it would be wise to shed all the programming that is covering them up in order to become aware and to embody the Gods that we already are!
The explanation on the first direction of the medicine wheel amazed me. Quite a while ago a mentor in a training sent to us that We need to stop focusing on our private issues so much and what people sometimes in criticism calls, staring at our belly button. it is very important in the modern world or the current world to have whatever impact we can upon the directionality, to put in the positive energy, not only if we know it will work, but just in case it will work. To give what we can because that’s the best we can do. In this video he’s talking about giving beauty I believe. But then other important teachers of mine have said, if you only do one thing in life, if you only disentangle the knots, that your ancestors left in the karma and which came down to you, you are doing an important service to the world you’re eliminating bad energy, which cannot be illuminated any other way than working through the knots of karma, and that makes sense too. This discussion about the snake shedding the whole skin at once rather than one scale at a time is very thought-provoking and enlightening I’m going to sit with this thank you.
Thank you this was a beautiful gift..I live in the North, today I am gathering in circle with others to drum,sing through ceremony to welcome the Fall Equinox, letting go..we will be releasing and wading in the river
This is quite wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom. I have been a Shamanic Practitioner now for the last couple of years and I must say I am intrigued by the medicine of the snake. I experience the feeling of continuing working on myself and shedding individual scales. I have never been one of slow transition always fast so this journey has taught me quite a bit about stillness and slow integration but completely shedding the layer sounds in alignment with me. Very interested in this and eventually becoming a wisdom keeper in my lifetime. The art of the shamanic healing I live daily it became me and I am grateful for it.
Thank you. 🙏 I enjoyed your view of the medicine wheel directions and symbols. The quote that you attributed to the great Nelson Mandela is actually a quote from the inspired Marianne Williamson.
So good to hear and integrate your beautiful wisdom. Always grateful. Side note: the saying you attributed to Mandela was actually spoken by Marianne Williamson. And it's not a good idea to hold Mandela up as an example of anything good, wholesome or enriching. He was None of those.
