My Son's Friend's Power Animal

8/23/05: A Journey to ascertain a friend of my Son's Power Animal. As I headed into the Spirit World, I found myself very quickly wading out from a Beach into shallow Caribbean Waters. There was an Island a short Distance from the Shore and my Lower World Guide, Crosses in Front, and I headed over to it. When we got there we found it covered in Blue Herons, all resting. As we moved up from the Waterline, we approached a golden Boulder, near which sat a Chipmunk. The Chipmunk came over to us and handed me a few Sunflower Seeds from its Mouth Pouch. We then saw the Tunnel to the Lower world in the Sand at the Base of the Boulder. We entered, and went through moist Sand. Soon we were in the Lower World, well to the right off where we usually arrive. As we settled in, a Dragonfly with yellow and gold Colors, who also had a lighting Tail like a Firefly, came and hovered a short Time in front of us. It flew off. We then moved over a short bit and came to rest upon a purple Stone whose Fragrance was of Lilacs. We then waited. Shortly, a large Elephant came over from the left, with a Tiger walking beside. They appeared to be friendly with one another. Just as suddenly, a baby Kangaroo bounced in from the right and landed right in front of us. He seemed quite content to wait there, and I began to get the impression this was Adam’s PA. The Elephant then picked up the Roo with its Trunk and held it over its Mouth as if it was going to eat the baby. A big Smile crossed both the Elephant’s and Tiger’s Faces. The Elephant then put the Kangaroo back down. The Elephant and Tiger then left. We then watched as the baby Kangaroo began bounding all over the Place. It jumped to a great Height and came back down to us with an Apple. The Dragon/Firefly then returned and landed a brief Moment on the Kangaroo’s Head. The Roo then began bouncing across the Lake before us, never once sinking into the Water. We then collected the Roo and came back up the Tunnel, crossed the Lagoon back onto the original Beach. From there, I thanked my Guide and returned to the Room.

Kangaroo is the Power Animal for the Friend. See the attached write-up for the Spirit Energies supplied by the Helper who comes as Kangaroo. The basic Medicine of Kangaroo is: Time to move forward and not back. Kangaroo Medicine asks the following questions: Are we not moving forward? Do we need to go ahead, even if it seems premature? Are we refusing to disconnect from the things of childhood? Are we heeding previous experiences? Are we trying to go in reverse when forward is the only way to go? Are we nursing what we have given birth to? Do we need to balance our creative activities? Are we staying grounded? Are we giving up too easily?

Explanation: Power Animals are really Spirit Beings who come to enhance existent or totally supply the qualities of the Animal form they pick to the human they are assigned to.

Other Notes: There were many Totem Plants/Animals in this Journey as well. Here are some key indicators they supply:

Heron speaks to aggressive self-reliance and self-determination. The fact there were so many Herons on the Island means Adam has these qualities in spades. However, they were all at rest, so Adam needs to crank these up to a higher energy level.

The gold Boulder speaks of Wealth/Security as a main goal for Adam. However, these wishes need to remain grounded in reality.

Sunflower Seeds must be important to Adam’s Diet. He should look into eating them on a regular basis. Also, Sunflower Medicine speaks to times of happiness and well-being, as well as strong healing energy.

Chipmunk Medicine speaks to valuing the treasures of the Earth, storing carefully those things you value, and of balancing work and play.

Firefly speaks to Spiritual awakening and Hope. Spiritual gifts are awakening, flickering within. Positive hope is a critical component to fulfillment and accomplishment. Firefly also warns to be sure that those around us are not mimicking what is true rather than what we hope to hear. Are we focusing on the wrong path or working with the wrong people? We may be letting others’ negative opinions crush our creativity. Dragonfly speaks of the power of light. Life is never quite as it appears, but is always filled with more light and color. Dragonfly helps you see through your illusions and allow your own light to shine forth. It brings the brightness of transformation and the wonder of colorful new vision.

Lilac speaks to the balance of Spirit and Intellect. It announces that contact with Spirit is imminent. The fact we smelled Lilac just before Roo showed up strengthen the fact Roo is the Power Animal for Adam. Adam should attach himself fondly to Lilacs in order to keep that feeling of spirit arrival fresh and alive.

The sort of contrary elements presented by Elephant and Tiger add up as follows. Adam must have a bit of a contrary relationship with royalty, ancestry and/or societal norms (part of Elephant Medicine). These forces tend to try to tie him up. Tiger speaks to Passion, Power, Devotion and Sensuality. The fact this Medicine also showed up in the contrary means Adam may be suppressing these wonderful qualities in his own Life. He should turn them loose and let them run across the steppes of his life.

Finally, Yellow speaks to Mental Activity, Intellectual Power and Awakening, qualities already brought out in parts of he above discussions. Gold peaks to strengthening and amplifying..again brought out earlier.

9/3: Adam drew me a fantastic pencil sketch of the Lower World Animal Visits, as a thank you. Here is a young Man who used his Talents to honor my Work for him. I am completely honored in return, although the Honor belongs to my Helpers. The Sketch will hang in my Shaman's Altar room from here on out.

Saving a Mother from a Fated Death

8/2/05: This is an amazing Moment. I got home very early from Work, as I had decided not to put up any “tomorrow” Mail and instead leave immediately. Within 2 minutes of my getting Home, a girl Friend of my Son's drove up. I told her my son wasn’t home, but she said she had come to talk to me, not him. I invited her in, and she told me of a remarkable Dream she had had a few Nights ago. This was a very clear and lucid Dream, and she recalled it in very great detail. She even said she woke up a few times and had gone right back into it. This reminded me very much of my own Shamanic Dream, and I knew it was indeed a very important and powerful Message. In her Dream, She had received a Call from a Woman whose name began with a “J” (I immediately thought of her Aunt, the deceased twin Sister), saying the Girl’s Mother had died in a Car Crash. The rest of this very long Dream involved the Girl racing to a Hospital and asking many People, on many Floors, where her Mother was. Some said she was “upstairs somewhere”, but no-one could or would tell her exactly where. She even checked out a Body Bag. The end of the Dream showed her in the Car hugging her Mom from behind her Seat, and then watching as her Mom and her Car went unsteadily down the road. The whole Time I was listening to the Girl, I was thinking to myself, “Man, this is real. Her Mom really is going to die.” I was very concerned, and was determined to act immediately, even though I had had no Plans to do anything Shamanically after a very rough Morning. I told the Girl to come back in about a half Hour, and since my Son had just come home, she went off with him. I went downstairs and prepared as always. I then took out my Pendulum and as always held it well above the Sacred Flame, the Singularity where all Matter and Energy meet, and all in knowable. I asked, is the Mom really going to die? Answer: Yes. I shook my Head in great Concern. I then asked, can I intervene to prevent it. It seemed like a long Time, but within 10 seconds the answer came: Yes. “All RIGHT!” I said to myself, and was very soon thereafter off into the Journey to erase this Future.

As the Journey began, My Upper World Guide, Owl, was sitting in a Tree. It was quite Dark, and it was raining..but raining Blood. Owl was dripping wet with it, and soon so was I. As we looked above us, we saw a Tunnel of Lightning forming..the Tunnel to the Upper World. We both zoomed up the Tunnel together, and as we did so, I caught a fleeting Image of the Mom lying dead on the Ground, having been ejected from her Vehicle. We then reached the Upper World. I was in a small Room, a bit like a small offshoot Area in a Museum. On the Floor was a Fork of Light, with several Prongs. The right-most one had a big Red Dot cutting it short. I knew this was a Representation of the possible Futures for the Mom, and that the one with the Red Dot was the one where she would be killed. The straight line of the Fork was her Life until now. I went to the Prong with the Red Dot and checked it out. The date was Oct 19, 2006. It was a wet Evening, with lots of wet Leaves on the road. The Mom had lost control on them and was ejected, having not been wearing her Seatbelt. I then worked to try to change this, and within Seconds a Group of Little People came from the Woods and swept the Leaves away and dried the Roadway. They then consecrated the Area with Serjiim, a combination of Salt, Sand and Rice used by Shamans to protect People. The Area was sparkling with Rainbow Specks when all was done. The Accident had been erased from Future Time. The Scene then shifted. I was in a Kitchen, I think at the Mom’s House but maybe not. We were trying to move a large and very-well finished Table. The Table had feet sticking out looking somewhat like a Fox’s(?). I then saw a Scene in perhaps an upper Room where a Man was holding a Gun very near the Mom’s Back. The Gun was firing, and grazing her Skin so slightly that it merely made a slight, temporary Indent. Owl and I then returned through the Tunnel after verifying the Prong with the Red Dot was gone. As we went down the Tunnel, the Lightning was gone..there was only Smoke now. We landed in a beautiful, sunlit Meadow, lush with Flowers. All signs of Blood were gone, save for a distant black Cloud on the Horizon, moving away, from which the Blood was falling. I thanked Owl and was back.

I then took out my Pendulum and asked if the Death had indeed been erased from Time. I got a yes. Yeehah!

I then made up a mix of Serjiim for the Girl to give to her Mother. The Mom should sprinkle some around her Car, and keep the rest safely hidden away until Oct 2006 passes. I also asked the Girl if there were Guns in her House. She said yes, so I told her that her Mom should not be anywhere near when the Guns are being cleaned. Her Dad should also check each one to make sure there in not an unexploded Shell still in the chamber.

As I was finishing up, I began thinking. Why did the deceased Sister alert my Son's Friend so far in advance? It made no sense to use her now, unless..unless.. And I thought back to a journey I did for the Girl’s Grandmother last week, in a which a Woman with Stringy dark Hair was lying in a Coffin with a Death Date of September of this Year. Omigod, I thought. Was that the Girl? Is this why the deceased Aunt alerted me through her so soon, so I would be focusing on Death and the Girl at the same Time? So I took my Pendulum and again asked. At first I asked if anyone is the Girl’s immediate Family was the one in the Coffin. I got a No. I then asked the key Question..is it the Girl? I got a Yes. Filled with Dread, I then asked if I could intervene in this Matter. Talk about Eternities. But after 10 seconds or so, I got my Answer. YES! What a Relief! If it had been No, I would have been unable to do anything or tell anyone. I would have had to live with the impending Disaster. Shamans are not allowed to violate another’s Sacred Path. Perhaps the Girl might have asked me about it in the next Month so I COULD act..but who knows. But as it was, I was now in position to work with the Spirits to save a second Life in less than an Hour! The results are in the next Journey write-up, not posted here..but I was able to erase a scene to occur in September of this year where the Girl was killed in a Lightning Strike.

This is the message I got afterwards from the Mom:

“Hi, Wow!!! My Daughter told me everything you had told her!
She told me of her dream yesterday, and it was so odd that she remembered everything, she had no laps in memory. I remember feeling so sad for some reason, when she was telling me all this, I was trying not to let her see how upsetting it was for me, but ya, know deep down, I knew this was to actually happen to me!
Then when she told me about her, in the shower during a lighting storm, how frightening, I’ve always told them to never take a shower or bath during a thunder storm!!
When you had told me the info about a person in a coffin with the dark hair, I first thought of my Daughter!! That was another feeling I had deep down inside, and I had that same terribly sad feeling it was her.
I’m so happy that she happened to come by, and she told you of all this, she didn’t tell me she was going to speak to you. Thank you for the baggy with the rice, etc. I will do as you said; I can’t say Thank You enough for your insight and all the help and guidance. I will email you again on this. God Bless You!"

A day or two later came this reply as well: "How disturbing all of this has been and how joyous the ending! My Daughter and I are forever grateful for your gift!
I have to tell you, I was so terribly sad to hear of all this, and so glad that my Daughter had brought her (dream) Journey, to your attention, with all this info we were so happy to hear how you and your helpers have saved us from these tragic events. I sprinkled the Serjiim on the 4 corners of my car, and have saved the rest as requested, no one was home when I did it and I didn’t see any neighbors out at that time.
How interesting about the gun in the house. My husband does have one, a muzzle loader gun that he wants to fire. He said you can’t just pull the trigger to fire it, apparently a muzzle loader rifle works a bit differently, I can’t say, I don’t know guns, we have many in the house, but ALL are empty and put away and with ammo in a different location, all except the Muzzle loader rifle. I will put that gun in a hiding place until he sets out to empty it, and to do that he has to fire it, so he’s been meaning to take it up to his brothers house and fire the remaining gun powder out! I’m gonna put the pressure on about that!
We were just talking about this last week!!
I will be on top of that issue for obvious safety reasons, many thanks for your impute.
After reading of your Journeys for my Daughter and I, I do feel a LOT better knowing you have done all you could. I don’t even know if there’s any way to Thank You for all you’ve done, We are forever Grateful to you and your helpers!!!
Gratefully Yours"
