Journey 105 - Beavers, oh my

10/7/04: A journey to visit with a dear friend’s Beavers, who are currently tearing up her new stream and dam set-up that she and her man have been working on for the past few years. She is loathe to have the Beavers removed, but is very worried about the damage the diverted water flow they are generating will cause. So I told her I would visit with the Beavers in a Journey, and here are the results. After Smudging and Rattling and lighting the Sacred Candle, I began the Drum CD and asked that whichever of my Guides was right for this trip to the Middle World, show up. Shortly I found Snake (Crosses in Front) and myself moving down her driveway toward the area in question. It was Night. We were both carrying small Torches, an indication of the Power of Fire Medicine in this area. I had read this Medicine in a Journey of a few weeks ago. We went to where the Beavers were at work, and I told them who I was and why I was there. I looked about and saw the Auras of all the Living Things there (Trees, Stones, Water, Beavers, etc.) so there was plenty of “vision” here in the darkness. I saw the Mana moving through the Air like a mist as well. I knew, therefore, that although still in the Middle World of our current Reality, I was at the very edge of that Dimension as well. One of the Beavers led us upstream a bit until we came to an area in the Woods where a Beaver Lodge made completely of pure Aural Energy was standing in the middle of a land path. This Lodge was made from the convergence of all the Auras of all the recent actions of the Beavers, and I got the impression that as they toiled and altered the Landscape, the position of this Lodge changed as well. We went inside and I got to speak only very briefly with the Beaver Spirit within. This was a very rapid Journey, and the only two messages I brought back from the Lodge were that the Beavers are acting completely within their instincts, and therefore would not be moved voluntarily. I also brought back a more fascinating tidbit. They really like the Fire Medicine of my friends, and are drawn to it. It’s almost as if they are trying to counterbalance the fire they perceive in them with the Water gifts they the Beavers bring. So this basically leaves my friend where she was before..two choices of questionable joy: either let them continue and effect her and neighboring properties, or have them removed, violating the Natural Balance. I suppose the third choice would be to continue to try to counterbalance the counterbalancing..live with it and fix the minor problems until final resolution occurs.
