Over the years myself and a number of my grandchildren, wife, daughter-in-law's and son's have had experiences with crossed-over pets returning. Sometimes it's been relatively shortly after they...

I'm going to ask you to think about something, What do you think a Spirit Guide Is?

All the recent books will tell you that you have one but the reality is that not everyone does. The reason I...

Don't know if there still are but there used to be "Practitioners" of it years ago. It had a well defined theology and structure at the time. All laid out according to the information derived from...

Personally my grandkids and wife hated it. But then they've also seen the original. Changed to much stuff from the original that was important to the main story line and to the follow up movie as...

Just sitting here wishing this pain and pulsing in my back and spine would stop. Had surgery on my spine a few days ago and they had to chip away a small piece of the bone to get to the area to be...

That's one of the things I'm talking about. A few generations ago it was proper to call the 1st peoples and later "Native American's" and that went up to modern times. Now the argument I'm seeing...

Not trying to be an arse or anything here but in all seriousness what exactly are you going to be celebrating? Asking you BMH or anyone else who cares to answer.

Celebrating Indigenous Peoples of...

It's been a tough two weeks now.

A little over a week and a half ago we woke up to find that one of our dogs , Scrapper, had died in the night. We figured he had a stroke / seizure based upon how...

But he was being acknowledged for being the first to sail to the "New World" no other's recognized for that. Sure Lief the Lucky had gone but he didn't actually set up anything and stay there. ...

Personally I think the problem is Columbus Day is not about honoring his time as governor but about being the explorer, navigator and just what it took to lead an expedition into the unknown. ...

To me to be honest the average person has no more knowledge about the history and atrocities committed by the Indigenous peoples against each other than they do about those committed by Christobal...

Realistically many would say that is not a totem but a Clan, Crest or Herald. It indicates a family group or lineage not a specific association to a particular "Medicine" or "occultic" association. ...

That's the big thing, that it works for you.

As to him being a scammer or such, well you'll have to make that determination to be honest. That's the bad part about many practitioners. ...

Many Shamanic rituals / ceremonies are preceded by cleansing rituals that are technically similar to what was shown here. The issue I suppose is that there is no clear point I suppose that states...

Mathieu couldn't post links so thank you for posting his link, though you might find the admins say something. But then again may not.

Anyway though i'd touch on a few points I noticed in the...

Yeah that definitely is not a seance

The screams, strange noises, cries, etc sounds like what he would go through to both get in contact with his guides / allies and journey to the spirit world. ...

I must admit now you have my curiosity up.

Drumming and singing have become pretty much common place and are found in many new age things as well as many plastic shamanic practices. So the...

That was an interesting read. Still going through it as there is a lot of material contained within it.

A few thoughts though.

If your searching a lot of times subjects such as Hoodoo, Voodoo,...

I'd agree that people probably have forgotten. I just find it funny. The media, celebs, the general public all screaming "Impeach" yet it doesn't mean it will be a conviction or removal from...

Even being impeached doesn't mean he'll be removed from office. People seem to forget that has already happened as well. Clinton was impeached and remained in office. it also doesn't mean he...

Honestly I think it originated due to it holding all elements within or upon it. It represented Air as a natural usage, it represented earth from its creation element, it represented fire from it's...

Man that is a Catch-22 situation for sure. I'd call your insurance back and see if they can set you up with someone else or at least appraise them of the situation and see what they suggest. Maybe...

Truthfully there is nothing in my practice that I can't do without in my workings. I've found that when the need is there and the desire is there everything I've needed has been found in the...

Yeah Spirit becomes a catch-all term many times. It's like for many Native American nation's "Spirit" or Great Spirit sort of means "The Great Unknowable" because it is something that is beyond...
