About Me:

Hello, everyone. I'm Sue.

I am a lover of nature and am most at home with water, trees, wind, or other natural elements around me. I have donkey, Canada goose, and crow totems and an especially close bond with dogs. My red-tailed hawk totem recently left me, probably because I found the shamanic path he was telling me to watch for.

I am learning to walk between the worlds in shamanic journeying. Still a student, I have learned that I am a bridge of sorts between light and dark, warm and cold, perhaps life and death. I am still learning.

I am learning to be a deathwalker or psychopomp. I would love to hear from other deathwalkers. Here is my story:

My father spent two weeks in critical care. He had a breathing tube and so couldn't talk. Due to his injury, he was lying flat in the bed and it didn't take long for his eyes to swell shut. One day during our visit, tears fell from his shut eyes.

That afternoon, I was working in our hotel room while my mom was out picking up supper. I was tackling a thorny problem when suddenly everything fell into place and my problem was solved. Then it was as though a curtain of blackness descended and I fell on the bed into an immediate deep sleep. I was awakened by the phone ringing. It was the hospital saying my father had died.

I remember nothing of that deep sleep but I believe that I was accompanying my father as he left this world.

My one regret in life happened not long after: My mother and I had just returned to our hotel room after identifying my father's body. There was a knock at our door. On the other side stood a young man in white billowy clothing. He said to my mother, "Your husband sent me." She panicked and tried to push the door shut. The young man stuck his foot in the doorway and repeated, "Your husband sent me! Your husband sent me!" as my mother cried, "He's dead!"

Unfortunately, my mother was stronger and managed to close the door. When I opened it again, he was gone.

I've always wondered what he had to say. I would like to answer that riddle some day.

You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

Favorite Books: Too many to list them all. A start:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig
Practical Solitary Magic by Nancy Watson

Other Beliefs/Practices: I believe that we are all one, each pieces of some universal whole. What people call God is that whole. We each have God within us.

From Making Friends with Death by Judith L. Lief:

When we are in the greatest pain, we have the hardest time stretching beyond our own concerns. There is a famous story in which the Buddha encounters a grieving woman, carrying the body of her only child. This woman was completely stricken by grief. She had lost everything-- her parents, her husband, all her family, and now she had lost her only son. She would not let her fellow villagers take him or bury him; she…

Owl Pellet

I was given the gift of an owl pellet on New Year's Eve. That's not a picture of mine, but it looks just like it-- gray mouse fur with bits of bone. Owl pellets are the undigestable stuff that owls "eject" after a meal.

I'd just scooped the poop in the dog yard, dumped my bucket on the compost…

Scrying

Posted on March 4, 2010 at 1:14pm 1 Comment 1 Like

I am learning to journey. My guide presented me with a tool for scrying and told me to learn how to scry.

I'm just beginning my learning. This Short Course in Scrying nicely covers areas such as creating your magickal space and has an interesting "Magical Mystery Tour" of that space as an introduction to scrying. It also discusses using a magick mirror for scrying.

This simple… Continue
