The Healing Arts
I attended a Shamanic Journey for several rites, mine represented The Healer. I attended with a friend Becky Roskop as she is very connected to the earth, people and many things unexplained. When we walked in I immediately noticed a woman in the far right corner who was surrounded by a dark matter. As I continued to look at her, she did not display human facial features. What I mean by that is she displayed no human likeness no resemblance of a human woman; she looked like a thing from a nightmare, yet it was a glance that made her look this way because when I gazed upon her again she looked normal.
We were greeted by the woman leading this journey with smiles and confusion, I thought. She gave us the information we needed to join the closed knit circle with open smiles and gentle hands. Barbara was introduced to us to make those arrangements as we collected ourselves to the floor before it all began. Barbara looked as though she use to be a primary school teacher with loving eyes, jolly nature and warmth. Once I shook her hand I envisioned her as a deer running frantically through a burning forest. It was hot yest cool at the same time, she was a young deer with wide eyes looking for her people. Once I let go of her hand, she was the nice school teacher again all full of smiles. We sat on the floor waiting for the ceremony to begin and when it did there was no turning back from what I saw.
We called the corners of the earth for guidance and wisdom; East, South, West and the North. There was a carpet on the floor with offerings and the like. I noticed the carpet because there was a vase of red mini roses in a glass or crystal casing. Once we called to the corners, they began to bloom at rapid speeds. Not just grow but float from the vase, it seemed. Energy is a funny thing to try to understand because it's not a definable thing no is it something we can comprehend as humans; the energy was palpable and visible to my eyes this night. People swayed back and forth as the East Goddesses and Gods we asked to guide us into our safe journey, some chanted some made indiscernible noises. Once we turned towards the South many things happened to the room. As we called for guidance the wall became a flamed, the roof opened up revealing more fire and with a gust of wind there was the universe right before my eyes. The backs of strangers swaying in rhythm, chanting all the while the universe was opening itself to me. Stars, billions of them swirling and moving living breathing beings talking to me; still don't know what they were saying to me but words were being exchanged between my subconsciousness. A red circle with green, purple and blue rings encased multiple groupings of stars, dancing I guess to music I almost heard until we moved to the West. Just like that....the universe, the lights, the music, the dancing were all gone.
Once given the Healer's rites I was told to go over to the candles to receive it's heat, it's energy but all I could do was make the flame dance. I concentrated on it's heat, place my hands around the container it sat in and moved it flame closer and further away from my hands while it danced around. This thing i did in public is something that I wold do at home with my family without no once noticing i was actually doing something. I would just concentrate in a focal point and make the rest dance and move; I haven't done that in over 20 years. There are things that i use to do on a daily and don't. there were things I use to know like the back of my hand but are now lost to me. Mu only wish id to be connected to that part of me again because those were the times I felt whole.
