Journey 13 - Owl in Woods is Eagle Claw!

I decided to take a quick second Journey to see what the Owl in the woods represented. I used my own drumming this time, and asked Gray Wolf, a long-time Guardian but one I have never used before, to go with me into the dark woods outside my house to visit the Owl. The intense darkness quickly gave way to a moonlit type forest floor, so I knew I had crossed into a new section of time and space. We got to a clearing and I could see blue Spirit shapes dancing in a clearing ahead. I joined in with them, after looking up at Owl in the Standing Person and seeing (or sensing) that Owl was Eagle Claw! As I joined in the Dance, a great Sparkler Tower ignited in the middle of the Dance area. I suddenly found myself either shape-shifting to a great height or floating up. As I sank down into this Sparkler Tower, I suddenly saw all the Spirits dancing around clearly as people, and in broad daylight. When I came back out, all was as it was before, with the Blue Shapes only. Suddenly, Owl took me across the Tree Tops. We raced into Space and over to Eagle Claw’s ledge! There, Eagle Claw sat, remaining in the Owl Shape. While I was there, Eagle Claw gave me a new phrase for my benefit. This phrase is a power phrase, to be used to strengthen my spirit awareness and happiness. The phrase is Ashi Manapana Wesu. We then returned to the clearing, and the Spirits and Tower faded to darkness, with only the Owl calling in the Tree left. I then came back to the room and grounded myself. My deepest thanks to all my Spirit Helpers for guiding me safely on these two Journeys.
