Here we depart from
the known and embark on forging medicine relationships with the
essential healing qualities of the plant beings directly. So much
information of loving substance and value has been lost to us,
forgotten, hidden from us, punished, co-opted or discredited and yet
many alternative restorative and healing continue to reveal themselves
as 'new' or surface in the grass roots research labs of suffering and
need, our own and that of others. Courage must be summoned to think
deeply about want and need. Talking, reading, observing the good old
ways of establishing honest relationships with every aspect of a
condition and then stepping out with new eyes, trusting, testing and
flexing the new muscle of intuition first on small conditions and then
the larger and then the largest. There is no one else to look to but
ourselves, collectively, to initiate the Spirit Talks, rebuilding and
restoring strong and vital connection and communication with all of the
other living things with which we share the planet. We are seriously out of
touch with the natural world and continuously moving more seriously out
of balance with the whole. We can and must take these steps for our
survival. Our survival means stepping put of ignorance, desensitization
and feelings of entitlement..anything and everything we can identify
that contributes to real or imagined feelings of separation with
anything. We are want and need driven, always. These wants and needs
will serve us well when order and connection is desired with the natural
world, the animals, our ancestral helpers and Spirit guides and the
plant beings in particular. The restoration of honorable communication
with the plant beings is of paramount importance and of the guidance
presented here, found elsewhere and intuited is especially successful,
perhaps the plant beings or being will come forward, reveal themselves
and talk to you. Then you're on your way. That's the way is always was.
The plant beings will then state exactly how they can be helpful and to whom and
why...they will say when and how they should be picked, stored, prepared
and spoken to..they will teach the forgotten words and songs that
should accompany picking, preparation and application. That's the way it
goes when it goes well.. This is a true restoration of balance and
harmony through a mind, heart, body and Spirit driven initiative in
concert with native beauty, the Medicine Wheel Teaching or a structure
your choice, design or vision, for our heartbeat and the heartbeat of
the Mother Earth are one.
WE MUST WALK WITH HUMILITY. WE MUST DO THIS IN ORDER TO SEE AND
HEAR ALL THINGS CLEARLY, AND PUT AN END TO THAT WHICH IS NOT REAL.
THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Now
comes the work of setting these things we shall call the Original
Instructions in place and tending them with attention and highest
consciousness.
All beings are born with a set of
original instructions. The clear physical instructions which which we
all arrive are DNA and heredity patterning. We, like all beings contain,
produce and reproduce adaptive potential to successfully meet a wide
variety of growth conditions from birth stresses, the vulnerabilities of
youth, reproductive opportunities, sickness, old age and transition
activities. Within our specific lineages are past histories charting
the major evolutionary shifts. Science and medicine are able to measure
and evaluate current and future cellular data shifts and now, even
extends it reach to enter original seed packaging and manipulate base
genetic structure in order to legally extend ownership of the developed
seed stock for profit in the field and marketplace. The former seed
stock contains and reproduces itself according to its original
instructions while Genetically Modified seed stock does not. We intend
to follow the original instructions and put an end to that which is not
real.
We are choosing to continue measuring our steps to meet and journey within the mystical outlines of the original instructions.
Personal choices and affinities of religion and culture shall remain such.
Within this text the major theme is The Original Instructions as
revealed and made manifest in the Creator's first gift to us, the
two-leggeds ..., most beautiful and enduring gift of the unknowable
cosmos within which lives and is breathed alive: Our Mother Earth; Our
Father Sky Sun; Our Grandmother the Moon; the Star Beings; the cognizent
and powerful elementals .. Water, Fire, Wind, the Green Beings, the
Directions .. Spirit Helpers ...all beings who live upon, above and
within this Mighty Gift-The Medicine Wheel of Life.... Ho,
Mitakweasin..my Relations, I ask you to overlook any omissions or
mistakes in this, the naming...there are so many..and I am still
learning how to become and live as a complete human being.
And now, I will pause to think on these things.

The Ceremony of Picking and Gathering 'IN A GOOD WAY'
THE CEREMONY OF PICKING AND GATHERING 'IN A GOOD WAY'
Picking and gathering have long been among humankind's primary tools for providing food. The basic nature of the sacred give-away and receive principle is the model for our approach to the plant people, the skebyak, and the natural world.
The plant people go a long way toward offering and providing us, the two-leggeds and others, with the physical materials we need to live life 'in a good way'. Plant fiber provides assorted fiber for the weaving of clothing, nets, mats, basketry, footwear, hammocks, housing, cordage, snares and traps. The plant people share their bodies that our own might live and medicines by which to maintain, heal, and restore health and balance.
The green beings hold all wisdom and knowledge. The Mother Earth and all beings that live upon and within her body have their own unique medicine ways and it is of these ways that we seek to learn the languages, uses and songs. Our Mother is a sentient being with an evolutionary path of her own and when sufficiently sensitized it is possible for us to feel her heartbeat through the soles of our feet and entire being.
In order for us to make orderly and honorable approaches to each living thing we must first understand ourselves for this is what we bring forward in dialogue and intent by way of introduction. The text of Spirit Talk is designed to offer and provide sensitization models, histories, identifying, arriving at and holding appropriate thought focus, charting some designs of personal ritual and time management, suggest structures of meaningful ceremony in the context of individual biology and life style, observing and creatively participating in the cyclical dynamics of the seasons, to encourage song, dance, music..these are some of the ways by which we may begin to accurately and healthily track our minds, authentically and honorably present ourselves to ourselves, actually, and then to all other beings. Seriously consider these suggestions and the practices set forward in the earlier Seasonal writings. Experiment with them for personal veracity, test them out, through your own Spirit Talk. Make requests and prayers for inspired and illuminated pathways.
The Direction of the West, the Physical, Medicine and Introspection
Color: Black or Dark Blue
The Harvest
The Animals often associated with this direction are the eagle and the deer however, many people find that personal affinities with each of the directions may reveal themselves in time. The Medicine Wheel design offered on these pages are of a universal nature. Personal colors and animals may be added alongside the universal motifs, as experience, familiarity and intuition accrues with the seasons. This is a direction of deep return and recognition. The West receives us in our mysterious entirety, our harvest, and we may also journey out to the West and visit.
The Hard Road of Life
West, the final direction in this cycle, links the physical plane-west with the mental plane-east. This is called the hard road of life and where it crosses the good red road is where the sacred Flowering Tree lives. That's us, especially when we have walked all of the Roads for we must not deny walking any of the paths. Here and now is where we can aspire to make our return to the home center and merge with the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life
All of the previous teachings, labors, and observances are approaching a return connection with the Spirit Dream origins of the year, Winter. 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, 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. Everything is coming together and we begin to make ourselves ready to meet the demands and rewards of the hard road of life walk, that another cycle can draw to an orderly close, be complete, rest, prepare and fire the new seeds with inspiration, jointly.

Autumn: Earth Ceremonies of the Gathered Plant, Seed, and Root
AUTUMN: EARTH CEREMONIES OF THE GATHERED PLANT, SEED AND ROOT
The picking and gathering activities of all seasons are remarkable and important but the autumn harvests of the just completed growing season are the final preparations for this winter and often prized and stored against drought, famine or lack, for many years to come.. Prayers, intention, labor and the growth supporting warmth and moisture have produced the fruit, nut, vegetable, green that feeds all beings. Beings such as ourselves, the four-legged, those that swim, fly, slither and crawl that eat more than water, minerals, air and light, as do the seed beings.Most of these plant beings also produce valuable medicine seeds, roots, leaves and stems. The abundantly produced,gathered and stored skebyak, the green beings, and their seeds will feed, clothe and house; they will provide materials for tools and most importantly, they will provide instructive stories which will be told during the long winter nights and in the coming years. The genetic imprint of the seed nourishes our bodies and contributes intelligence from the natural world, the elemental directions and colors, the physical cycles of other living things- composted materials of all kinds-, electric solar emanations, the life carrying vibration of the water beings, fire charges from the fire beings, manifold Spirit breaths carried by the ethers, winds and air beings and minerals released by the rock beings.
The abundance of the autumn harvest is a life metaphor which speaks of and demonstrates a mutual and respectful interaction representing the basic giving-away and receiving nature of duality of Spirit as it evolves out of our minds and the mind of the Creator, assuming and manifesting in physical form, life incarnate.
And this physical form itself, may change it's face many times and undergo a multitude of shifts. The cycles of life suggest many possibilities of being. Spirit may once again enliven a two-legged form or the intelligence may elect to merge with the water beings, sprout as a grass, shrub or tree, run with the fire, air or wind beings, join with the salts, crystals or minerals, fuse with a direction, color or animal or to dance with the Mother Earth. Spirit can and may elect to expand concurrent knowingness with many of these beings, then as now, alive in a living world.
The principle objective ceremony is that of cultivating and maintaining a mindful consciousness, healing, personal ritual, prayer, sacred movement, gratitude and high intention is to honor and celebrate right relationship with ourselves and all of these beings so that perceptions of separation with the Creator, ourselves or anything else are narrowed, closed and made whole...this is harvest made enduring, whole and ongoing. Seed is what carries the harvest of wisdom, knowledge and new life forward.

The Seed Beings Relent, Release and Scatter in the Wind – Breath of 1 IK
A Message for the Wind/IK Trecena by Minisa Crumbo Halsey, 1 Wind/IK
The autumn, medicine direction, so mysterious in it’s unfolding is driven by so many things both coming and going. All things and beings are finding themselves within an active stage of transition. This transition brings us to ride the free floating, first breaths of wind, ourselves no more nor less than the bobbing milk weed seed parachuting out of a bursting pod, the ovoid snow precursing clouds visiting from the north lands, wild rice stems feeling the beaters stick knock loose seeds falling to canoe bottoms…how many are the allusions and metaphors of the season…all of them written by previous seasons and now loosening all but the most ephemeral and essential controls of discovering core identities as we pause within the great autumn cyclical count of days.
The winds breath spirits to the spirit world. Within the ongoing Evolution of all beings, including our beautiful Mother Earth, we find ourselves once again in an active act of separation from the previous known. We remember the instructions to be breathed alive and count the harvest that the Mother provides equally, irregardless of whether we sowed and planted, gather or simply observe, surrender and be.
The Power Platforms of Seasonal Certainty and Uncertainty
Balance-imbalance ... the walk and dance of duality produces movement and time
The predictable power of planned, focused and goal activity can produce, seat and hold stable concepts and provide platforms for measured growths of every kind. The given and structured bedrock measuring tables of favored plan, are positioned to broaden and shift beyond their original parameters, becoming a format to measure unplanned and evolutionary changes, platforms stationed, if not prepared, to receive and absorb the unexpected shocks of any medicine journey. However, the transitional medicine journeys over seasonal thresholds hold particular piquancies of swirling, therefore uncertain merge and movement of medicines as now, one gives-away and now, one takes on past and future history, navigating the NOW center, well-greased axle hole window of the Medicine Wheel.

The Gratitude Time of the Early Harvests
THE GRATITUDE TIME OF THE EARLY HARVESTS
Rabbit Brush' Golden Flowers Time
By the natural calendar, autumn arrives now, in the southwest, with chokecherry picking, making chicos (horno roasted sweet corn), roasting and drying of red and green chiles, mud plastering of adobe buildings and restoring trips into the mountains. The long pinion fires which will not go out until spring, have not yet been lit. The short fire cook and smoke but are not yet needed for heat.
Staking or marking with string, the medicinal roots, barks and berries which will be gathered when the green plant tops die back with the first frosts and before the snow falls hiding where you thought the plant lived. Beginning to make the house, barn, fence, field and ditch repairs, taking care to think of us all; the songs, dances and prayers that life might go on 'in a good way'; the waters; the four-leggeds; those that swim, crawl, fly and move very slowly; the homes; the stored seeds of seven years; the Spirits of Place; the ancestors and those yet to come, and of us, the two-leggeds.
These things and more take up their place in our new songs. We recount the days.
Crepe Myrtle's Bloom in the Great Heat
Regardless of climate, August bounty and harvests begin with remember once again, that picking and gathering 'in a good way' is made up of noticing and remembering SO many things. Traditional things like picking and storing, pickling and freezing, drying and bundling abundant fragrant herbs, sweet fruits, uncountable vegetables, red and yellow fleshed melons; blue, white, yellow and red corn..some with white eagles in flight; greens and beans; bushels of tomatos...all things and beings that our ancestors and relatives brought forward...all kinds and sorts of bounty from the cultivated and wild garden coming forward to meet our song..and to participate in their/our interactive winter give-away ceremonies of meals, teas and medicines, songs and offerings..'good medicine', food and nourishment to us, the two-leggeds and all other living things.
These things and more take up their place in our new songs. We remember the ways.
From the Northern Alder Thickets
Walking the Wild Smoked Salmon of the Pacific Northwest back from the spring catch for the winter sustenance and enjoyment of us, the sacred two-leggeds from the sacred ones who swim..From harvesting the cranberry bogs and wild rice fields, from braving the thorny wild Florida sour orange, picking tiny, dry astringent wild plums; to the myriad of undocumented plant, leaf, fruit; the rock bottom stream, the 'eye of the Mother Earth' spring and her issue, the thin mossy rivulet; the moist clay floored cave; the found hair and dry grass woven nest, the nut and mushroom littered forest floors; the natural places..raucous with sound and movement..stilling at our approach until we slow and allow our Indigeneous and unique song to to tell our story and to restore confidence to the native dwellers.
These things and more take up their place in our new songs. By these things we live.

Autumn: The Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Division Takes Final Shape and Form
Autumn: The Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Division Takes Final Shape and Form
First there was Spirit.
Then Spirit organized into conceptual, linear and physical duality.
Duality found a home and expression upon and within another system.
The Medicine Wheel is an independent but evolutionarily related, secondary, four quarter, cellular division of linear duality, possessing a center and concentric circle-ringed divisions ... an eighth fold division exists. It is present in Spirit, silent, unseen and unspoken. Cellular division continues until it must fold back into the linear, initiating the differentiation of species and subsequent specific development.
These interwoven lines, circles and dots are the stuff and substance of creative material, crackling and moving in the fires, waters, airs and ethers with variable lights, sounds and electricity. They are the present and available primal building blocks of intention, generating wormholes of vibrant and positive awareness and consciousness track, demonstrating seen and now, unseen evolutionary patterns and possibilities, without cease.
EARLY AUTUMN
The first 21 days of autumn can bear the mark of instability as have the initial (initiation) 21 days of each previous season. Harvests of medicine and introspection bring happiness, a sense of accomplishment and deep reflection upon that which been wrought in the previous three seasons, recognitions of that which is certainly coming forward and revealing the fullness' of itself. The past no longer is and the new is not yet.
Early Autumn, a time to pause, reflect, to BE in rest ... before the foot turns onto acquaintance with the West-East hard road of life.
