Spring has sprung as the Lion goddess of fire awakens the Divine Goddess in
each of us. This month is the time of birthing the Divine Child form of the
Divine Masculine. "  ~ Julei Lynn Taylor Folkers Busch 

        Standing at the Doorway of Spring or Vernal equinox ( Celtic- Ostara); by the Aztec calendar New Year; from the voice of Mother Earth it is time for rebirth, transformation and new beginnings.  As our "late winter" slowly fades away and the weather worms up, the hope of the green grass promises growth. The Winds of change in fall initiated much work that needed to be transmuted and held with the light of introspection throughout the winter hours. All that had been realized and brought up, need to be handled gentry, let go and heal. In this way there will be room for a new growth. 

      Our Mother Earth witnesses much change in global worming, natural habitat and environmentally. Throughout the years we have directly coast much harm that is so evident now as we are experiencing the consequences on every land and water on the planet. The time to awaken is now!

We must take responsibility for all that we do; the way we live and consume; pollution; over population and over usage of natural resources. Every one of us must stand up, in the name of our life, our family, community and Earth. We all know in order to have healthy and good future we must change the presence. The "key" is to awaken oneself and tear the veils of ignorance, to look deep within and heal so we may one by one spread light throughout the circle, good medicine and conscious leaving.

It is time to call for the voice of the "ancient one". To listen to our ancestors, Elders so we can find good wisdom. We are to learn from the teachings that are being offered within the many traditions, which are evident today and stay open on our path, for we mast find the way to better life. There is much to be learned and healed in the tradition itself, and for someone to enter the tradition there is much respect and humbles to be earned, so in these way we may come together on equal grounds, in the "good way" we may heal. But the way is not seen from one man eyes or found in one tradition teachings, the way is found in the centering fire of the community that is open to the village, the country, which unites globally with the synchronicity of the Creations Lows; found in the evolutionary universal "force of light". 

     The one who seeks the way must learn, heal and give away in ceremony and in this way we may see the honoring transitions and weave. We are to come together and celebrate among as a "bouquet of flowers" in multi- couloirs, as people we are to learn to build many drums and sing many songs. In this way we may recognize each utter, grow and become. The prayer for healing must continue so it may find us all around the same circle, were one day in the future we will find the one language that honors All in One; for all drums have one beat. 

  So, "Wildman" pray to "morning star" to seek out the way and find his Drum, the one and only one, made of his flesh and Spirit, the one with a Storytelling face. So he may go off proudly and "rise up" his Storytelling Tipi, and there by the fire he may find the blessings of "the Resurrection" and share the "answers" of his Soul.

Only when we truly heal and learn how to hold up "our lodge", every one of us, only than there will be no more doors and the fires of each Tipi will unite, bring down the walls and come to find the "awakening of spring".

     Now, I continue to Pray and be grateful that I have come so far to know that the truth I have been looking for is hire and now. In my prayers I like to walk gently and surrender the vision to the eyes of the Eagle:   "Oh, mighty bird, your wings touch the Creators breath......I pray that you watch over me and my family, my friends, all the people that I know and all the people yet to come. So we may patently find each other upon "the resurrection" of our New Life....."

The Resurrection   oil on canvas,2006 - available

Many among us are celebrating Easter Holliday and such a story stirs in each of us different emotion, comment, insight and so fort. There is much to say of Religion as a truth on one side and Jmmanuel ( Jesus') life on the other side. There is much writhen and proposed in the believe system of the Bible and on the other side many evolutionary visionaries and prophets such as Eduard Albert "Billy" Meier had revealed many insights, testimonies and spiritual teachings, that I find  fascinating and starkly reflective of messages that are being channeled at this time for the spiritual "New-Age" people. I am not here to tell the stories and suggest truth, believe, judgment, compare or in any way disrespect one chosen faith. What I can say is that Jmmanuel was a great teacher. I would like to hold and perceive his "resurrection" story from a symbolic prospective. We have been crucified and died many deaths within the hands of our family; societies; false teachings; politicks, est. We wave suffered greatly from our man made Laws, ignorant, ego centered, controlling and violent nature. The lives of many woman, children, man has been sacrificed in many ways and suffered mach crucial punishments. What I like to say we are already witnessing and experiencing deep pain within each of us; sometimes coast from our own personal dilemma and most of the time our wound is reflective from the voice of our ancestors. Inherited through our generations, tribal and blood lines, that lived before us, from times before now. What we are now trying to heal is the voice of our "Sacred Wound". Now is time to let go of the past and transform the tremendous pain with a beautiful prayer that it will initiate forgiveness and let go of much heaviness. We no longer need to carry on the Sacred Wound we have the power of choice, hand of an artist and voice of a Storyteller to let the wings of our song go fee in the light of  "the resurrection".

Seams as we had lived our life in the centre of a Whirlwind, experiencing every breath that had been echoed from our family and past. Now we can step out the Whirlwind and witness the extraordinary forces and energies that co-create and take part in the weaving of our "dream"/life. What I like to say is hold your Story sacredly and come out share among us. We need to hear every one and each of us in order to become whole. We need to heal from a collective voice and live a vision that weaves in Peace and is in harmony with all our Relations....

We have birthed many spiritual-healing-circles today. It is beautiful to see how many of us already are awakening and reaching toward the Devine. The events even become a casual gathering, weekly over cup of Tea, simply for the coast to connect and heal.....

The winter hours have been very intense with healing and weaving of my personal Story. I had Spirit supporting me within the many forms of expressive, intuitive and healing work that I weave. I am so grateful for the "communal fire" that had been always radiating some loving heat. 

I would like to say thank you and sand blessings of light to the many drum circles, dance and ceremonial gatherings in Toronto that I had been involved with in the last hours. I remember grandmother sad once: "you can only heal within the community (circle)".

Here, I like to thank you Mark Jenkins, so happy to say your name. You had gathered us and opened the doors of you home so lovingly, for the sacred and honorable work that is to be celebrated in "raising up" of the communal Storytelling Tipi. The initiation and the stages of the work, down from pealing out the bark off the poles, to the prayers of raising and finally standing of the Tipi, has been so synchronous and helping in the weaving and enfoldment of my path. I say HO! for such a wisdom and courage that follows the heart and speaks the community! We are ready to hear from you for our upcoming "by the fire" storytelling. For the one who is interested to met with you before hand I would like to share your link at www.riverteeth.com . there are some beautiful photos taken from the actual ceremony, free to share for the one who seeks. Yes,  it's real!!

Now at the end of the "telling" of this very lengthy Newsletter I would like to acknowledge March 22 as our WORLD WATER DAY.

The Creator has blessed us with Water.Water is very sacred to us and Mother Earth. Today our Water needs our help. We are Water. This is how we are all related. Care for Water.Treat Water with respect. Offer tobacco, blessings and listen to Water, she carries many answers for us.Water is Life. Appreciate Water. Heal with Water. Say THANKS to Water. Love Water.

Aqua Vitae

My Beloved is a river in the ocean of Love.
A deep current inside my heart.
Open up and move, he whispers,
move closer to me.

My Beloved is the the watercourse way
moving towards depth
searching for the lowest ground
to wash me free of inertia and fear.

Move, he whispers, move closer to me.
Alone, but not lonely,
he is the Presence
an overflowing presence
nourishing me beyond need.

I am a Light unto myself
so full of Spirit
I fill the whole Universe with song.
Move, he whispers, move closer to me.

ARTIST OF THE SOUL ~ painting session
Session cost ~ $ 55.00 per hour

In the evening between sleep and awakening,
I met one traveling. He was the light of
consciousness. His body was soul, his pure
wisdom apparent in his beautiful face.

Soul Portrait

Hi you!

Have you ever wished to have your beautiful portrait get done...yes!

...then this is for you, and do not expect to be some boring pretty face, hung on a wall to be admired. Instead I will closely look into woven fibers of Life Force, manifesting itself beyond the ordinary eyes; in space as vision and insight channeled through your conscious and unconscious wisdom to appear as it comes; take this, for it is your unfolding beauty.

The Soul Portrait that I weave is unique as yourself.

All this initiated in your space, could be rewarding in all the ways that you could think of. As a meditation tool; as fun and therapeutic; of the dream time, visionary; storytelling and sometimes scary!

OK fung shui, may be on your way!

Receive this uniqueness the way it may come, for it is your gift of Spirit and your calling of the Ages!

It would be great if you are present for the start up gestures and if not I will need your name, date and place of birth and if you wish your secret, photo!!

The cost is on a sliding scale that varies with the size of the canvas ( and how complicated you are, ha, ha!)

minimum size 20x20 for $345.00...Cheers!

Sacred Face ~ Mask Making

HO!…to the Sisterhood of the Shields for the wisdom, in Spirit; to Lynn Andrews and her give away…HO! to the many teachers that have brought light upon my path and the many “hands” received from above…I remember the creation of my own “Mask of Power” this beautiful Vision of all times…just to find it’s face rising from the ashes…as the “firebird” keeper of the inner flame!

I have carefully dreamed this journey for us, in honor for the Sacred path of Mask Making. I would like to offer you guidance, along the sacred line of the Medicine Wheel. Upon each direction there is a gift for you, creating along the way …you will hold Four Masks of many, that will represent the depths of your most inner places, awaken through meditation, symbolism and the wisdom that allies in all the sides that we turn for a direction…you will understand the energy patterns that hold these “faces” and how we find these in our day to day movement. In understanding these energies you will learn how to choreograph and transform; balance our feminine and masculine; and use these gifts for our healing and community.

Towards the end of the journey we will unite the Four Masks into One Mask, as a centering place within, as Mask of Power and our most Sacred Face.

We will honor and initiate the awakening of the Masks in a ceremony, we will give away and empower your Song!

This work is very Sacred. It is often personal and sometimes difficult…I would like to make room for each of you and offer my time on a “one to one” basis, in presence. The workshop lasts 7 sessions, the hour could vary form 3 to 5 hours…and to your call I will set the day!

$ 400.00 ~ the materials required for the mask building are inclusive….except your sacred objects that you will decorate your personal mask with…..HO!

For the individuals who are interested in creating a single Mask in 2 sessions ~ $ 125.00

Turkish Coffee Grain Reading

This ancient foretelling has Egyptian roots; the tradition has been kept by the Arabians, Persians, Jews and always celebrated with the Turks.

It was introduced to me when I was 4 years old, and has been revealing its secrets
up to this day.

Connecting with this sacred grain and welcoming its rich aroma, followed by respectful and full minded exchange we receive a "gift" from the magnificent "map" that is imprinted upon the walls of the round cup.

The grains are as an art sand painting that has been stirred by our inner Winds Storytelling in its Nature.

Enjoy!!!

Whirling Wisdom Oracle - reading

I have realized how unique and magical we are all, individuals united. Born of our hour and of our day; time; upon a star constellation above; in reflection below, energetically ... by phases of the Moon ... stirring glazes.

Forever, traditionally Native we relate to our animals, allies walking around timeless "Medicine Wheel" ... yes, into the plants and what the Celts will say the Wisdom of the Trees ... it Whirls with the Chinese's yearly calendar ... western relations ... and how about colors and crystals and vibration patterns ... all this and some numerology.

As soon as we look at that door there is more!

Through variety colors of "tools" combined with my personal Whirling Wisdom Oracle and your "key" as keeper, I would like to go deeper!!!

You may bring all that you are, for we may "seek" this Whirling Oracle, spoken!

Gypsy Dream!!!
