Yes, I know that is in the American Constitution too.  Have you ever seen those shirts and posters that say “Fighting Terrorism since 1492” and then there is a picture of Sitting Bull in his war paint?  It’s a statement from a people who hold negative feelings.  It was not that long ago that African Americans and Indians had to use the back door not the front, that we could not walk as equals in America because our skin was not pink.  Our people, the old ones and some middle aged ones, still remember this.  They hold hatred for the White people they feel took our way of life and our land.

I say it is time to let that hatred go.  We are a conquered people and we should own that.  As conquered people we should be like the Japanese. They are also a conquered people, but they are doing it with style.   Did you know that Japan owns much of the United States?  Ever hear of Sony, Honda, Toyota, etc, those Japanese companies invested in real estate here in the United States?  They may not have won the war but they are certainly kicking American financial butts.  So yes, we Native Americans are a conquered people, so let's use that casino money and reinvest in our people and real estate here in our ancestral lands.  Let's buy our heritage back!

Stop drinking and drugging, and abusing.  It is time to use our liberty, and hold our heads up because we are the Native Peoples of this land.  Our spiritual way is a great way of life; embrace it once more.  You do not have to have Red skin to embrace this way.  It was foretold that the children’s children of our conquerors would embrace our spiritual ways while the parents looked on in wonder.  That is happening right now.  Let go of our negative feelings about those who conquered our people.  That is a past generation's burden, not ours. Okay, so they gave us firewater. We gave them tobacco; I think that makes us even. 

We hold ourselves back; let's stop doing that and move forward into a future that embraces all the peoples and share our spirituality with those who want to learn.  Let's send a message to those who would steal our sweat lodge for money that they are not welcome in our lodges.  Only those who would follow the good Red road are embraced into our spirituality.  Lets own our Freedom to choose how to live, Lets stand up for our Liberty to become educated, own property and have a voice.  Lets find the justice our people deserve by standing up and being proud of who we are.

Our peoples are from great nations, such as the Sioux, the Black Foot, Crow, Caddo and many more. The Code Talkers in World War II stood next to the White people and served our new nation.  I know it was not popular to be a Native American until Kevin Costner made "Dances With Wolves", then everyone had some Indian in them because at long last it was cool to be Native.  That movie began to heal our nations, and the prejudice that we had felt for decades started to ease. It helped but wasn’t a magic cure. You know what? It's still cool to be free, Native, and have the liberty, and freedom to walk in the front door. Take pride in yourself, your nation and follow our good, wide Red road in style.

I saw a bright moss green and it was beautiful.  My vision shifted back a bit and I could see it was a woman’s leg she had on a moss green bib overall, green sneakers and T-shirt.  She held a baby.  Her hair was pale blonde and long to her elbows.  Reminded me of Alice in Wonderland with her straight cut bangs in front and her blue eyes.  She smiled at me.  I could not see the baby's face.  It was a boy about  6 months old and he looked well cared for, happy.  She picked him up off her chest and turned him so I could see his face.  He had my eyes and a wonderful baby smile.  My vision faded and my room once again was around me. I felt healed.

Saturday I had a call from a Client in Seattle and she told me she was so unhappy.  I asked her why she had given up.  She had put blocks up to her healing and I said why are you doing that.  Don't give up don't put blocks in your own way, move forward and believe in your vision... Yes I noticed too, its my vision I need to hang on to, its me giving up, its me putting blocks in my path.  The universe talks to me and sometimes even I can understand that her problems were really mine.

The next message I got was later that night.  Be pure, be thankful for my blessings, and know I am worthy of the love the universe has for me.  

This has been a growth period for me, all my metaphysical gifts are empowered and seem bigger or more powerful than ever before.  

Moving forward and I am out of my cave.  

once more myself

Walks With Thunder

Some say a new year is a new beginning.  I know that on my spiritual path there are many beginnings and endings that have nothing to do with the calendar.  A couple years ago in January (my personal power month), I began seeing Fairies.  Last January, I began seeing Angels and Michael himself gave me messages.  This year… who knows what January will bring!  As with each of you, I am a work in progress.  I love that!  My path always has something new… and that means I am still learning all the time. 

From that first meeting with the Fairies, my life changed.   Wonderful people came into my life- the “once in a lifetime” kind and each of them touched my soul.  They came quickly and together we made great memories.  And while most of these folks left just as quickly as they came, by January 2008 only one was still there… and the Angels came along too.

Somehow in all of this, my relationship with the Angels began with a 20-foot tall Angel with a sword.  While I later learned this was Michael, my first impression was of knowing his thoughts without speech- I know your going through a bad time, its going to be alright.   Specifically, he wanted me to know “Have faith, I am with you.”  Simple.  Later, he and other Angels visited and repeated the message with the swish of wings- “Have faith, I am behind you.”  Or a feeling of warmth- “Have faith, we are all around you.”  And the all time Angel favorite- “Choose love.”  That’s new to this Warrior Spirit I am and they’ve had to repeat it a lot.  I do have faith that it’s all going to be all right, yet there are times I have forgotten to choose love when someone I care about is hurting... 

And while that one friend I mentioned is still there, it’s not so much as before. For months now I have chosen to be grumpy about this- not to love.  Grumpy hasn’t served me in too many ways other than the weather.  Here in Seattle, the weather sometimes mirrors my moods.  In fact, we had a few extra thunderstorms this last summer…  As a part of the Thunder Nation, I love the lightning- but I had no idea it came in so many colors like the fairies!  In fact, I sat in the back yard once and just watched the show.  Sometimes during these storms, Thunder Nation would have a message for me to ponder.  Other times, a Fairy would be about- making mischief.  I even met a grumpy Fairy- it’s orange and likes to sit on my lap and be grumpy with me…  And here’s my point: I attracted that grumpy fairy.  And the storms.  What are you attracting? 

I now choose Love.  I called my friend to share this news- hadn’t even realized it myself, but those Angels are a persistent bunch.  These days you find me traveling away from my beloved Seattle (and thunderstorms).  You can find me in LA, San Francisco, Sedona, and soon many more places.  Spirit (and quite possibly that extra large Angel with a sword) has ways of making you feel small when you don’t follow simple suggestions.  It has a way of molding a person to be who they need to be and it’s been my experience they don’t ask permission- but I choose what to bring along...  Yes, the Angels changed who I am.  I don’t react to situations the same way I used to- I most often choose Love.  And I’m working on that so I can choose Love all the time... 

Am I telling you to choose Love even when your life seems the darkest and your friends all seem far away? Yes, choose Love.  Invite Love along for those rides when Spirit has a way of taking you along without your consent, you still get to do the packing…   Choose Love- even if it’s just a favorite smell, a quiet moment, a cute picture of your dog, or a quick phone call to a friend.  Don’t live in your memories, move forward with your life and trust that it’s all going to be alright anyways.  I’ve learned that being grumpy doesn’t serve you or anyone else- it’s a waste of Spirit to stay there so just pass through instead of setting up camp!  A good friend of mine says that you should be like a feather in the wind, let it take you to happiness.  So for me: I’m just going to settle into Brother Wind and let him take me.  I’ll smile more often and laugh all year long…  I choose Love.

May the wind in your life be gentle and strong so it can take you where you should be.  May your friends and your love be true.  May you know how happy you are now so you fully enjoy those rare, blessed moments.

May the creator bless us with a love that comes at the right time, that fulfills our needs and exceeds our dreams.  May it come in a good but powerful way.

Some Medicine men and women call Fairy folk, the little people.  No matter what we call them, Natures Angles are real and in our world.  Why not embrace the magic of the Fey?  This morning I saw a Blue Fairy light under my bed, glowing softly in the morning light.  This evening I found an light Orange one on my knee.  LOL Just so you know I have never taken any hallucinogenic drugs or herbs etc.  I am so pure I could have been a Mormon.  Why then would a former Network Engineer see these magical beings?  Well it could be that I am also a shaman and have the gift of sight.  It could be that Fairies love me because I love deeply.  Perhaps I am a happy, fun person most of the time.

Fairies love to be near people who are in Love.  They enjoy music, and love sweets, if you put out sweets you have to make sure they are tiny bits of sweets.  I think I have a fairy cake directions , hmm where did I put that?    Our little pals also enjoy sparkles and shiny decorations.  Some folks I know make Fairy Houses in the garden or deck areas.  Sweet liquors are also a favorite, placed in a doll’s cup or glass and set out side.  Make sure you have flowers that Humming Birds love as the Fey love those too. 

I have a friend who likes to decorate her home with holiday lights.  She turns them off and goes to work only to come home and find the on.  I love that.

Are you sure you want to see fairies?  They have a strange idea about what is funny, not like ours at all.  They some times hide your keys or your wallet.  Not funny.  As you go about the home looking for your lost item only to find it on the counter or table you already checked.  Innocently, almost mockingly laying there for you to find.  Not funny.

Ok then if you are sure.  I call grandfather and grandmother spirits of the Fairy Nation, I call all the spirits that love us.  I ask them to give you the sight to see Fairies in a good way, I ask that you be given the ability to communicate in a clear, happy way with the Fairy.  May that all happen for you in a good and gentle way, however a immediate right now kind of way too.  I thank the nations gathered.

I am not responsible for any lost items at your house or work place... remember your the one who wanted to have this blessing or you wouldn't have read it lol.
