 Time: the heart has its own time zones, its own special seasons and they often don't mesh with our own. Death and destruction are part of that which seldom fits into our lives in any sort of planned way. The upheaval in the world today, both far and close, is sending shock waves through all of us. In my life, my father died recently, a friend committed suicide, 4 young teenagers I had ties with were just killed in a terrible accident. Other... Continue reading...

~~Lightening Thrower~~
In the practice that I follow with Lynn Andrews and the Sisterhood of the Shields, we often talk about Heyoka energy. Sometimes people wonder exactly what that is, so I thought I would write a little bit about that energy and my understanding of it.
Heyoka energy is an attribute of the Thunder Beings and heyoka beings are also known as the tricksters or the sacred clowns. The sacred clown is a part of just about every tradition that I can think o... Continue reading...

Heyoka Wisdom; the Backwards Warrior
May 17, 2009
I said to my friend Ishtar,”My bones are happy. They know I am doing just as I should”. And today I realized there was a visceral sense of power that came to me from the colors and materials that I wore, that followed the scented trail of my rose and vediver oils, and that the colors were those of my Spiritmate, wishing to walk with me thru the day in my defense and keeping me company.
Gratitude for all that is, is a magic that changes lives. I learned slowly, always thinking I wa... Continue reading...

Labyrinth
Softly,
Quietly
I enter a moving, twisting path
that has shapes much like my life,
Now close,
Now far
from the answers to my questions.
But as I move,
see colors
shift directions,
I can somehow
Shift my Seeing and
Understanding
or find Acceptance Fills
my glass.
The path is clearer now,
more peaceful,
more sure to me,
and I give thanks to those who helped me here,
and I walk away
full of grace and gratitude
for twisting paths that led to clarity.

Beautiful Ones
Very soon the light of Solstice morning will stream in a magical way, slowly thru the window box of New Grange, Bruna Boinne in Ireland, till it ends, centered on the altar basin at the end of the pitch black passage. Just as this magical signal of light returns to our world on a once a year basis, we hold our breath, waiting, waiting to see if it will really reach its mark, the center of our hearts and the center of the holy place that holds the energy of the Goddess, G...

Shaman Artist Teacher
I am passionate about being an artist, teacher and healer; I work shamanically, often being guided very specifically to use certain colors and shapes, images or techniques in my art, adding words that are given to me as well. I am compelled to do this work and see it as a tool for the assistance of others in their own journeys. It is the work of my life, My Heart’s Path. I enjoy doing it more than anything else there is.
While I use the term healer, I am really more like a guide who can bring others to portals, to mirrors that allow them to create their own healing processes and changes. No one person really heals another without that person’s input. It has been the most amazing journey of my life to come to an awareness and knowing of these gifts and how I am able to use them.
Thus my intent for all of my art is to offer beautiful food to our souls and create aids for new ways to heal and solve our problems. Many of the most ancient processes and ways of leaning about our lives and selves are also among the newest ways. The finger labyrinths I have created are a wonderful example of this. Using readings based on the Power Deck and Soul Cards as teachings rather than fore-tellings is another method of helping us to SEE ourselves and areas of our lives and behaviors we may wish to change.
Everyday is another chapter of learning for me. I am so grateful for this journey I am on and must credit my teachers and mentors over the years, especially Lynn Andrews and her School of Sacred Arts and Training. Truly my life is alive with mystery and magic in a very special sense of those words and I feel blessed to be able to SEE in so many new ways.
