Through My Eyes

Sunday January 25

( We read of more of the spirits in the Buryat tradition!)

"The initial group of spirits that call you to be a shaman will be joined by additional spirit beings as you continue your shamanic practicing. This is a natural process, and a shaman with a long career may have quite a large collection of ongons of various spirits that have joined her. It is not unusual for a shaman to have a variety of helper spirits whose origins are from several regions and ethnic groups. Usually the spirits will contact you when you travel to a specific place for shamanic work. They are often drawn by the presence of a shaman and will want to join the shaman's spirit family. Because persecution of shamanism around the world in the last few centuries has resulted in a lot of unbonded udha spirits residing in nature, it is not surprising that they are drawn to shamans. Some of the spirits you may attract are the suld souls of shamans or beings that want to do good for living things. If you feel like doing so welcome them and learn from their knowledge of the old shamanic traditions.

Some spirit entities, whether suld souls or burhan, may be quite strong and are difficult to overcome in the process of a healing or other ritual. Although some are hostile and cannot be changed, at times they can be "mastered" and redirected to become a shamanic helper spirit. In such cases the healing and restoration to balance affects the spirits as well as the person on whose behalf the ritual was done. Burhan, for example, are powerful and can be worth mastering and enlisting as helper spirits. Spirits associated with a particular place or useful for certain types of work because of their personality or history may be worth mastering as well. You will be able to decide for yourself whether a spirit is worth mastering. On the other hand, do not fool yourself into thinking that you have mastered a hostile spirit when you have not and associate with it without it being healed of it's malevolence. If you do, the malevolent spirit will have conflict with your udha spirit and cause you mental disturbance until you either master it or drive it away."

(In the Buryat world the shaman may work many beings in the spirit realm!) I promise to add more tomorrow...

( Tahshi Deleh, gentle beautiful one! Kehrahng kusu debo yinpeh? I began the day working in our studio on the boards for your loom and a bit on our a land of Tibet. I'm sawing some of the longer peices so I have to be more careful with it! With us working two as one it's going well though! Two as one we've fixed a few more mistakes as usual on the pages. Be not concerned about these beautiful one even if it takes awhile for me to find them! Please just keep track of them as you see them. I continue to survey internet forums adding entries in those that seem worthwhile. It's tough because level of participation and quality of response varies a lot and there is a lot of obscenity and nonsense that seems to get into these things. A lot of reading too; my eyes get a bit tired after awhile! I'll bring us the sites when I've made some progress. Then I went up to the Grove to check on our trees and native plants.You can see the strain of the the last few winters on the trees in the picture. It's been difficult for them as it has in the Grove. I'm hoping the Grove comes through the winter without too much difficulty. The trees are showing signs of freezing stress even though it hasn't been as harsh as last winter. I'm going to add our wildflowers; I'll put this up for now so we can rest.

And so, as always we'll continue two as one on to tomorrow

my one gentle beautiful patient dream bright

long dark mane in sunlight

so for now I bid goodnight...Simjah Nahngo! )

( please see my spinning for you!) .
