Summer Ceremonies: The Doctorings

Summer Ceremonies: The Doctorings
From “Spirit Talk – a Book of Days” by Minisa Crumbo Halsey

And since many, or most, of us do not live in close proximity to adepts and holy people that can and do facilitate community ceremonies, that appropriate action is, in the end, essentially personal. So what matters is bringing the fullness of our minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits forward to say yes once more to life. Herein and from this point on, we are offered the opportunity for which we were born, that of recognizing ourselves as our own holy people. Aho!

Take up the staff of authority and don the mantle of leadership, and if you will, emerge and embark upon finding, forging, and designing a Way that is unique to your personal attributes and needs. These are the new Ways coming forward for the new days . . . and we are the ones. Since each of us initially think principally upon ourselves, as it should be, let us now think even more and deeply upon ourselves and the personal links to what we can identify as the proven and worthy gifts of life, the Sacred and all of its auspices. This is a deeply personal and sacred moment to be held close, in silence and privately, for some time to mature and seat in the deepest, innermost recesses of your sacredness. Take time for the building of this precious personal medicine, our personal medicine treasure—that of which we know and that of which we are—together and in a spirit of oneness with the mind of the Creator, in concert with these first, most beautiful and enduring gifts to and for us from the Creator: our Mother the Earth, our Father the Sky-Sun, our Grandmother the Moon, our relations: the Star People, the Directions, the Elementals, the Spirit Helpers, the colors, the Wind Beings, the Fire Beings, the Green Beings, the Water Beings, the Stone People, and all of the other named and unnamed sacred related beings that live upon and within this beautiful Creation.

The old people say, “That which you recognize, you own.” They also say, “It’s not so much, will you do it, but whether you will remember to do it.”

A Medicine Teaching on Personal Ceremony

A Medicine Teaching on Personal Ceremony
by Minisa Crumbo Halsey

SUGGESTED FOUR DAY PERSONAL FASTING AND CEREMONY…

Optional: partial fast suggestion for four days of A Good Red Road Ceremony of offering our minds, hearts, and bodies upon the Staff of the Good Red Road of the summer-winter axis. Consider placing the spine upon the Mother Earth, floor or bed and surrendering our spinal beingness to the Creator for initiating Unity movements WHILE INTENTIONALLY RECALLING THE ABOVE OBSERVATIONS. This activity, when activated in a sacred manner opens the potential of reunification and the re-membering of ancient, lost and disparate aspects of the self, the causes of which are not our fault.


As we move deeper into the being of summer, we anchor with the North, Spirit, white direction and open to the sacred directives of life within and upon the Medicine Wheel. The chrysalis self is moving profoundly into love, wholeness, balance and harmony in accord with the Good Medicine of the Season. The wings of the butterfly will develop in time and flight will come but for now, the intentional, most sacred making work is taking place within the innermost the center core of our being. The center nourishes and powers the directives of duality activities and flight.

THINGS TO DO
Eat lightly during these four days and take a lot of water. A suggested drink would be a fresh mint tea sweetened with raw honey, cold or hot. This will feed the sweetness of life while supporting other dedicated and mindful actions. Juice raw vegetables and fruits..organic or farmer’s market, if possible. Eat live food: seeds and nuts. Go lightly on salt.

Recipe: Large handfuls of fresh, mindfully gathered, (or the best you can do) mint into simmering water for 5 minutes. Lower the mint into the hot water as you would yourself into a hot bath and with gratitude for the life of the water and mint beings, asking for wholeness and love. Turn off the heat then, add the mint cover and remove from heat…remove the mint and return these green beings with gratitude to the Mother. Sweeten your drink with raw honey. (Continue Reading)

The Birds and Bees of Summer

The Birds and Bees of Summer 
by Minisa Crumbo Halsey

Let us place some time and attention apart in order to move into and more deeply with the divine and eternal concepts of balance and harmony. Love and the red gifts of the heart are flowering, even fruiting and seeding with those of us who reside in the northern hemi-shell of our beautiful Mother Earth which is in turn, shone down upon and energized by our beloved Father Sky Sun.

Would we re-member that the Spirit Wisdom direction of the North resides upon the Unity Path of this Good Red Road. This sacred path, spirit trail or staff is where we are now…somewhere along it. A time and place most sought after, prayed for and fondly remembered while all so recently drawn close to the warm fires of winter ... dreaming of …

Weaving The Memory Garments Of Summer Beauty
We have ‘made it’ once again…Recognition and Gratitude of the season is the colorful warp and woof of our looms as the fabrics of life are spun and woven. Today, I select the colorful red bird and it’s song, stringing in the falling rains, weaving in the humming resonances of heat, expanding apparently limitlessly into the longest days, noting the reappearance of the Venus Evening Star, marking the boundaries of sunrise, sunset, mid-day and mid-night……making personal the fabric….a personal history made visible..all the while..selecting and sitting at the loom with the industry of the honey bee…winter’s sweets being made of today.

Be flowering, fruiting and seeding…
