Healing Song: Mother
Visceral, multi-sensorial overwhelming on the everylittletinymolecularcelllevel I feel this weight. This strength. I am one with this tower of mothers.
Indigenous
How are we to know what is best for a place except by listening to those who live alongside and with the land? Biodiversity and the well-being of ALL KIN in that area needs to be considered.
There is really nothing in the Finnish forest or waters that is dangerous. We bring that with us
Yesterday a walk through forest to river. This forest lies between our place and the river. I was looking for a remoter place by the water for ceremony work. I know Ahlström Family/Ltd had been around in the area thinning, yet, well, how do four-leggeds get through this? If we have ”every ones rights” toContinue reading “There is really nothing in the Finnish forest or waters that is dangerous. We bring that with us”
Birthing a shamanic healing drum
many different hands. In my understanding of shamanhood if you hold and use a drum it is for shamanic healing. One has a sacred contract with the spirits which you are showing to the world by your use of the drum.
VANHA KIPU, KOUVONI
Viis’ karhun kynnet Lähtee raapimaan Iho veristän Ketä ei voi auttaa Kun iho aukea Jätä miun yksin Kuinka selviä? Kova on sen kieli Metsään lähtee mieli Sota aina on Suosilmä imee Mistä voin karkuu?

There is no separation
Use it, Value it… those words remind me of many words which have been spoken… and the reason for the genocide, ecocide, reservations, etc. Also there is a difference between being made in the image of something and being a part of it. Mother Earth, the land, the trees, all beings swimming flying digging running…Continue reading “There is no separation”
Virgin – Impi
Olen Impi. Olen Ilmatar. Olen hän. Olen tähti. Olen hän mikä on itseni. En ole nainen ja en ole mies. Minulle on kohtu. Valta halua käyttää sen. Valta halua että olen heidän palkinto, rosvojen ja sodan aare. Jos saat minua, voit raiskaa. Voit kontrolloida. Valta halua käyttää minun voima, minun yhteys Äiti Maahan. Olen Impi,Continue reading “Virgin – Impi”
Three Words.dox
Cleaning out the computer. I am looking for those small writings or longer ones that have gone on that misbehaving adult called FB and which I could post here also. Rather, I would like to have a more timely place to write, share, sing, digress, get to the point, ponder, wonder, buzz like a beeContinue reading “Three Words.dox”
Shamanic activism and self-
The shamanic path is about connection, being a conduit, responsibility and service through the help of spirit helpers (or teachers, “power animals”, guides) for others: be it community, family, Mother Earth and all that dwells above and below her. The side effect, if one walks this path, is understanding and development of self. My teachersContinue reading “Shamanic activism and self-“
