Excerpts from 'Spirit Talk':

Excerpts from Spirit Talk:

The animals often associated with [the West direction] are the bear and the deer. However many people find that personal affinities with each of the directions may reveal themselves differently in time … Personal colors and animals may be added alongside the universal [Medicine Wheel] motifs, as contacts, experience, familiarity, and intuition accrues with the seasons … [West] is a direction of deep return and recognition. The west receives us in our mysterious entirety … links the physical plane—west, with the mental plane—east … With the arrival of autumn we reach a culmination of medicines and seasons. Our harvests, the time of gathering and picking is among the most mysterious, gathering these secretive and familial beings, the beings of seed. We can join our essences with theirs—our dualities, singularities, multiplicities, and universalities, unique and connected upon all directions of the Medicine Wheel, but especially the direction of the west in the autumn, twilight of the year.

Fall Equinox

Greetings and bozho to all sweet grass swingersand Redbud Singers,

As we each move along on our personal path ... engage in home ceremony. At this time ... We seek to forge and maintain the center path that the balance of seasons offers. SPIRIT TALK (excerpts below) may offer some support if you want to have a look and this might be a good time to consider journaling, if not already doing so ... in order to accurately track our story and to set, purify and hold positive intentions.

 

This is who we are and what we have.
I go with you, Mamogosnan.
Blessings and Bama pi,
Dawn Woman
