Here is Journey number 1 (keep in mind that the results of a Journey can be metaphor versus actual...however, the underlying truths are never compromised. These Journeys were painted for you, not for me, and so everything seen is something the Helpers feel you need to know...):
"4/12/07: A Journey taken at the Request of a Client to see what Energies were at Play in some very deleterious Events in his recent past. This Client related to me that he was recovering from a suicide attempt, a sign that usually points strongly to some sort of Sprit Invasion, but of course not always. In this case, I found two separate Dark Energies at work within the Client’s life, one placed there near birth by a Being of unknown origin, and a second that was there due to an ancestor’s intervention. It is less clear what effect this latter Being had, but we see my Client in a powerful fight with it toward the end of the Journey. Before I entered the Spirit World, I performed a Mongolian 5-Coin Divination. This gives us a quick, general Overview of his current Spiritual Health. I got the following Reading: H T 2H T. Here is the Meaning: “At home things are neutral. Peace of Mind. Querent wins lawsuit. Business good. If ill, do a ritual to Father Heaven.” This told me that my Client is essentially in good Shape, as there are several positive Strains revealed here. I also checked to see, via Pendulum, if he had indeed suffered a Soul Loss during his Attempt, as he suspects. I was told. No, he did not lose part of his Soul.
As I entered the Spirit World, I found myself standing on my large Shaman Mirror from Mongolia. This is my most powerful Mirror, having ten “Dalha” Spirits associated with it, as well as the Shaman Spirit of Chinnghis Khan. Whenever I find myself on this Mirror, I know I’m in for a Time with some very powerful Spirit Energies. As I looked around, I saw that the Ten Dalha Spirits, as usual equally spaced around the Perimeter of the Mirror, were representing themselves as burning Flames. I saw a Dark Being sitting in a Depression in the Middle of the Mirror. I took my extra Shaman Mirror and held it in front of me to supplement the one around my Neck, for added Protection. As I moved closer to this Being, my Vision was being squelched, causing the Flames above to narrow. I felt high pressure around my Head and Ears. “This is as close as I can get,” I yelled up. I then saw a Scene forming within the Dark Being’s Form. It revealed to me a Baby lying in a Crib. I knew this Baby to be my Client. I saw the Baby slapped, and at first wondered if it was my Client’s Parents’ doing this. But then I sensed this was a dark, brooding Presence doing the slapping…something not human. I then saw the Baby literally flying through the Air, on its Back, with all its Surrounding flying by. This instilled a permanent Sense of impeding Falling and Instability into my Client. I then saw the Baby back in its Crib, and watched as the same Dark Being I first saw placed a black Orb of Energy into Grey through his Face. This stunned the Baby into a glassy Gaze. The Scene then shifted, and I saw my Client playing as a small Boy in his Yard. Both while he was playing on a dirt Mound, and on a Swing Set, he sensed this background Fear of Falling playing out subconsciously. As he got older this Sense of Falling began to evolve into a Sense of Dread, a Sense of Something lurking. This is strongest whenever he is alone, and has followed him through Life. He is capable of joy, but whenever alone senses Something is there.
The Scene then shifted back to the Mirror and the Dark Being at its Center. It shape-shifted into a Bat, rabid and vicious. The Scene then shifted and I was in a Yard once again, where a Cat was bitten on the Neck by this rabid Bat. The Cat then quickly went crazy and ran off into a nearby reed-filled Swamp and drowned itself. I then looked up to see the Bat flying against a bright, full Moon, and the in the next Instant a dark, new Moon, strangely hanging in the twilit Sky. When it flew against the new Moon, it was a darker black than the Moon. I saw that this Bat has been flying around my Client from Time to Time.
The Scene then shifted again. We were in the Room where my Client had been trying to recover from his Attempt. I then saw the Dark Orb that had been placed inside my Client as a Baby dancing around through his Spirit Body with his other Soul pieces. I saw it flee his Body once it thought he was dead. So THIS is why he thought he had lost a Soul Piece…he actually had lost this extra, dark Soul Piece. I then saw a young, maternal Spirit coming down toward him carrying his Upper World Soul back to him, gently upper in her Hands. I then saw Greg’s Earth Soul a few Feet away from his still Body. I saw him fighting with a dark Shape of a Man wearing a Hat. While this very energetic Struggle was going on, a Cat appeared and quickly shape-shifts in a large Lion. This caused the dark Shape to flee. I followed him, and saw that he was in a Suit, wearing a turn of the last century Hat. He came up close to me and as he did so, I noticed his face was entirely skeletal. We were then in a Cemetery, where I saw the Man sitting alone next to his own Grave. I sensed he had been there for Years, alone. Then, possibly because of my Intervention, some Luminous Beings came and took him. “Finally!” he yelled. Then he looked back to me and yelled, “Thanks!” I was suddenly then back on the Mirror. I watched as the Dalha now fired their Fire Energy down into the Dark Being, who was transmuted to rainbow Light and faded. I and the Spirits were then alone. Suddenly the Air was filled with floating Red and Green Grape Clusters. I then saw Pomegranates, and then Mediterranean/Greek foods Outlays. The Call Back then sounded."
NOTES: The BAT, according to Ted Andrews, symbolizes “new truths and perceptions” Bats are the only mammals that fly, and flight implies a rising above, the promise hidden within the chaotic energies of change. Bats imply barriers will be pierced and new truths uncovered. Bats are associated with rebirth and coming out of the darkness, new vision. Changes will be for the best even if the benefits are not yet obvious. That which was misunderstood becomes clearer. The fact Bats sleep upside-down also implies new perspective. Bats control pest insects, aid in pollination, and even find their waste has benefits for other life. This again certifies that however situations appear, they will work out to our benefit. With their great hearing and echolocation, Bats imply an increased ability to discern hidden messages and implications. Trust your instincts. In the negative, Bat implies a failure to rise above. Get new perspectives and let go of the past. Do not remain emotionally attached to what is no longer helpful. Facing our fears ultimately has great value for us. Questions: Are we avoiding facing the inevitable? Are we refusing to see the truth of a situation? Are we comfortable with the “devil we know?” Are fears ruling us? Are our imaginings overblown, or are we not seeing things as they are?
LION as Power Animal: Keynote: Strength of Will from the inner Sun. The Lion has consistently been a symbol of the sun and of gold. Its appearance reflects the need for gentle strength and patience in order to achieve the gold of our goals. The lion is unusual in the cat family in that it lives in “prides.” Therefore, in all group and community activities, this is a time for patience, gentleness and cooperation. Force will not work. This is re-emphasized in the fact that lions usually hunt as a group, and are rather clumsy hunting alone. Lions do not fight for fighting’s sake, but hunt through stealth. They avoid confrontation, but will defend themselves fiercely if need be. This demonstrates then when we are pursuing endeavors, strength of will, stealth, and cooperation will work best. Females do most of the hunting, work and caretaking in the pride. The appearance of lion therefore indicates the need to assert the inner sun, the feminine qualities within: patience, gentleness and strength of love. In some cultures the sun is considered the feminine power: it gives birth to new days, and warms and nurtures us. So, trust the feminine aspects that live within: creativity, intuition, imagination. Lion demands a balance between assertion and patience. Do not lose nerve, and yet do not surrender. Remain firm and patient. And don’t be afraid to roar if you feel threatened. There’s a nice recommendation for dietary discipline at the bottom, for grapes, natural vegetables and a lack of red meat...more lamb, I would guess, and other Mediterranean delicacies."
Here is Journey number 2: "4/14/07: A Journey taken at the Request of my Client to see what my Helpers might have to say concerning his Future in Terms of Riches and Abundance. Even as I was just entering the Spirit World, I noticed there was a Dark Being running around the outside of the House. Then, as I sank deeper into the Journey, I found a Coyote staring at me at very close Range. It was almost as if I was on my Back and pinned by it. Then, I saw a rectangular Shield of Spirit Plasma, roughly the same Size as the Coyote. The Plasma Shield was being fed in short Bursts from individual Stars. Then, surprisingly, and perhaps I injected this, a Road Runner appeared for a short time to my Right. The Coyote was then suddenly pulled up into the Plasma. Utawa, my Shaman Mirror Spirit, appeared and said we needed to follow him. We went in, and were floating freely in an Area in which many Possibilities, represented by Distinct Objects moving in random Directions, were present. The background was a white Mist, and the Possibilities were of many Colors and Shapes. The Coyote was there, and suddenly sat down at a Piano that was floating by. He actually began to play it skillfully, and then the Scene shifted. We were in some sort of ground floor, open Patio of a restaurant attached to a Hotel. There was the Coyote, dressed elegantly, playing Piano. This was the last of the useful Images I received. I finally reached the Call Back."
Since this was such a short Journey, I asked my Helpers afterwards if this was the definitive Journey concerning my Client’s Question, and they said no, so I’ll have to go back in. But I also asked if I should even send this to him, and they said yes. So there are Lessons and Hints in here at least concerning this Question.
NOTE: COYOTE: Keynotes: Wisdom and Folly. The Coyote is extremely gifted, embodying intelligence, playfulness, adaptability and loyalty. It is seen as both a Trickster and a Teacher. It reminds us of our many possibilities. The Coyote teaches that folly and wisdom go hand in hand. The most successful people are those who learn to have fun in their work. These people trust in the fact that all things happen according to some plan, even if the plan is not entirely known. They know it will work out, since they rely on their ability to handle whatever comes their way. Coyote teaches it is time to find a balance between work and play. Coyotes cooperate in tracking down prey, reminding us that such cooperative efforts are usually more effective and successful, especially at this time. Coyote’s territorial expansion teaches us to remain adaptable, and to extend endeavors in spite of opposition. While an animal of paradox, Coyote reminds us we have much more power and control over our lives and decisions than we realize. Be flexible, laugh and choose what is best for you, even if it is the most difficult choice. Coyote’s appearance suggests you are at a crossroads, and decisions now are very important. Maintain your childlike poise amidst the surrounding chaos. Keep your sense of humor, following your heart’s desires and trusting your childlike perception. Know that even if you make a wrong decision, you will see that and have the instinct to quickly correct them. Questions: Are things too simple or complicated? Are we outsmarting ourselves? Have we forgotten play is essential? Are we too inflexible? Are we complicating a simple matter? Is there too much folly and not enough wisdom? "
As you can see, I have to go back in on this second request, but will do so after I hear your reactions to these. Please don't see my lack of contacting you as me not being concerned. Shamans do not interfere in other lives, so I was simply waiting for you to ask me for more help. :) We like to let people walk their Sacred Paths uninterrupted, so I always figure if people really need me, they know how to get to me. :)
Peace and Love, Ken
My Client's amazing Response:
"I appreciate the time you took to do the Journeys and release the Dark forces. As an aside, my brother related to me how he saw my mother throw me across the bathroom where I hit my head (at the age of three) and had seizures ever since. He also related how he saw her slap me around in the crib and elsewhere because I was slower than my older brothers on picking up basics (crawling, walking, etc.). Would appreciate it if you'd care to devote more time, to hear what else you'd care to reveal.
And Yes, I would like more on the Coyote Journey. I had to smile as I read the previously-distracted Coyote was now playing the piano -- I am writing a screenplay and wonder if the Coyote image is telling me to keep up the play of "working" on the screenplay because my abundance will come out of creativity, even though I can get sidetracked by pesky roadrunners from time-to-time and have undying faith in the "Acme Company" makers of dynamite and various roadblocks that always backfire. Thanks WISE ONE! "

I just found your blog. Healing Totem work and Shamanism is of keen interest to me. I hope you will continue to post here. If you're still posting here, I'll gladly put you on my blogroll.
Hello. motherwintermoon. It is truly an honor to hear from you. I AM still actively posting to this site, although a lot of my work does not get published out of privacy concerns. I get permission from my Seekers to publish anonymous versions of their Journeys.
I would also be honored to be on your blogroll. Please contact me at fourhawks01@comcast.net so we can converse further. Thanks for your lovely comment. :)
Peace and Love, Ken/Four Hawks
