Journey 70 - The Troubled Nieces

7/23/04: Journey on behalf of my dear friend’s nieces. After Rattling, Smudging and lighting the Sacred Candle, I found myself sitting amongst numerous Treetops beneath a brilliant night Sky. The Leaves were lush and green. Grandmother Moon was well up in the Sky, full. Owl then arrived, picked me up, and off we went toward a red/orange Circle of Energy simmering on a small portion of Moon’s Face. The trip through Space was quick, and the walls of the Sky Tunnel thin and wispy strands of red/orange Energy. As we arrived at the Moon and plunged down through the small opening in her Face, I could see the surroundings clearly. When we arrived at the exit of the Tunnel, I was suddenly in a business office building, with numerous small offices on either side of a typical hallway on the second floor. I seem to recall the building having a glass front. I went into one of the offices to see my friend's sister and husband squared off across a table at one another. The husband then turned into what I assume is his main Power Animal, Deer, while the sister became a Lion (male at that). Soon, the Lion became a small figurine on the table. The scene suddenly shifted, and I was in a forest clearing. Deer and Lion were very much alive now, and squaring off to fight..but neither made more than a token attempt at really attacking. Off in the distance, watching all of this, were two baby deer..the nieces, I assume. The fight before them suddenly froze in time, with both Lion and Deer motionless in mid fighting pose. I moved over the to the young ones and inspected them. Their coats each had a fine covering of red/orange light shimmering on them..indicative of the Lower Chakras being very much energized. I melded my Spirit with theirs, to get a sense of what they were thinking. Interestingly, they had totally tuned out the stalemate contest before them, assuming the two larger Animals were no longer capable of being much help, and were instead looking to each other to help each other in life from here on out. Another way to put it: moving into their own relationship now for soothing and protection, and to survive the coming turmoil. At my request, Time then jumped ahead to when the Nieces were teens. I saw them spending considerable time at my friend’s house, where a small family business involved them as well. She had ended up watching them quite a bit up to this point, to the point of being a second mother of sorts. I sensed the husband still in the picture, but not the sister. I looked a bit further ahead and saw one niece going to San Francisco, the other to New York as adults..but got no sense as to whether these were just trips of permanent moves. Shifting scenes, I headed over to see what becomes of my friend's mother's very old house, and sensed that it would be registered as a historic home of sorts and come under the protection of some sort of preservation society. The Drums called me back at this point.
