RAVEN/CROW PEOPLE

RAVEN/ CROW PEOPLE
THE NEGOTIATORS
THE DUCK’S FLY MOON
SEPTEMBER 23--OCTOBER 20
LIBRA
People born under the DUCKS FLY MOON are the RAVEN/ CROW PEOPLE. They entered their earth time during the first moon of EPINGISHMOGE, The Spirit Keeper of the West and The Father of the Winds. People born during the moons of The West (EPINGISHMOGE),are influenced by the Winds of the West with its animal totem the Grizzly Bear, the plant ally/ totem is Sage (Mshkodewashk), the season is Autumn (Dwaagig), the time of the day is Sunset, and the influencing colours are Blue and Black (Mkadewaa). The powers of EPINGISHMOGE are Strength and Introspection.

RAVEN/ CROW PEOPLE’S specific totems/ allies associated with their birth moon The Duck’s Fly Moon are-- plant ally/ totem is MULLEIN. Their mineral ally/ totem is RED (BLOODSTONE) JASPER.
They have an affinity to the colour BROWN. They are members of the ELEMENTAL CLAN of the BUTTERFLY (Element of Air). Raven/ Crow people are compatible with Elk/ Owl, Deer, and Sturgeon/ Salmon people. They compliment Red Hawk/ Falcon people who are opposite them on the Medicine Wheel. Like the Raven and Crow these people are group orientated and do not like their own company for long. They are very much concerned with the welfare of others. Raven/ Crow people are great communicators, who enjoy conversation for it’s own sake. They are friendly and comfortable in most situations, and can help others feel at ease. They are somewhat of a trickster, and have to ensure their antics do not backfire on themselves. They need to make important decisions in a timely and decisive manner, and not to change their minds so quickly and easily. They are constantly trying to find the correct balance in their lives and will often go to extremes to find the mid-point of balance to bring greater harmony into their lives.

My Creator, may I always remember, when I cannot find the right words to pray with. All I have to do is look to those who have gone before.
Thank you my Creator for the wisdom of the ancestors!
And may I never forget to PRAY!

My Creator, Help me today to find the true meaning of “Walking in Balance”
.THE LAW OF BALANCE.
(Finding a middle way).
“To Walk in Balance” is an old Native American saying. Balance applies to our Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit and to all levels of our being.
Anything we do, we can underdo or overdo. Our Earth walk can be likened to a pendulum. If our actions or habits swing too far to one side they will inevitably swing an equal amount to the other side. The key is to try to keep the swings either way to a minimum, to find the middle way, “To Walk in Balance”
To find the middle way, the balance point, can be a daunting task, but it must start with action. We can never find a true balance point for ourselves unless we are first willing to take a step forward. “To Walk” first requires us to take a step of faith in anything we do. We will inevitably make mistakes, but this is part of the learning and experience process. But more important in learning, we gain understanding.
A warrior learnt to fire his arrow on target by first making an attempt to hit the target. He would almost certainly be short, too long, or one side or the other of the target. His next attempt would probably be an over correction. But with practise he would learn and hit the target. Isn’t our lives much like that? With practise and experience we learn. Then we can be closer to our personal truths and really learn the meaning of “To Walk in Balance” and to “Walk our Talk”.

May we always remember that to pray together for a common cause is stronger than praying alone! Help us today to pray together for healing for those in need.
To be bound together for a common purpose, whether it is as a family, group, community, or species ensures the survival of the purpose if it is within the law. There are many examples of this. One arrow on its own can easily be broken but several bound together cannot. The United Nations working in unison is another and a classic example of "One heart, one mind, within the law".
When we act with like-minded individuals as a group to pray, manifest, or even to create degrees of control, which we define as evil or black magic, it has an effect. It has to be balanced with greater force praying for the good.
Where the efforts of an individual may equal one unit, the efforts of two praying or healing for a common goal with equal energy will affect the energy of twenty units instead of the sum total of two. With three, the resultant energy explodes further. The longer pure thought (the exclusion of any other thought) of one's desired goal is held in the mind, the more powerful the result. Holding pure thought for an increment in time is the beginning lesson of manifestation.
The controlling regimes of the past and even now use the rallying cry of "To divide is to conquer", for they know the strength of group endeavour. If we are to counteract this we could do no worse than use "The brotherhood of man", as our rallying cry. Not only must mankind fulfil love for the family, community and nation, he must think in wider terms of humanity itself, and so bring the law of Brotherhood into expression.
"Will your actions today benefit all,For brotherhood is a group quality, or will someone or the group suffer or be hurt because of your actions"
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

A wise grandmother once told me to forgive the users and takers in the world for they have taught you a lesson not to be used or taken. But she also said “Without compassion forgiveness does not work. Today may I start by forgiving myself?
---------------------------------

Forgiveness.

At this time around the time around the Winter Solstice, Christmas and the New Year there is a natural resonance that is resplendent with the song of Forgiveness. It is a quality of Spirit easily accessed, embodied, activated and experienced. Forgiveness is the key in which the song of life is sung at the Winter Solstice, just as Appreciation is at the time of the Summer Solstice.Forgiveness is, however, not something we do. It is not something we offer to another (nor our own Self). Forgiveness is a state of being, a frequency at which our Soul resonates when Forgiveness sings its song. When we are in the state of Forgiveness we may hold attention upon the presence of another (or our own Self), embracing that person in Forgiveness.When we are in the state of Forgiveness all that we place our attention upon, in a sincere attitude of acknowledgment and responsibility, dissolves in the burst of Love that comes forth from the relinquishment of our guilt, anger, pain, resentment, grudge or debt. From the release of guilt arises the possibility of apology and atonement. When we release resentment the poison it spreads through our entire interaction with the world is drained, leaving the way for understanding to grow. As we forgive the debts owed us, but never paid - be they financial, emotional or obligations - we are able to let go of betrayal and the fear that unless we are paid in full we will suffer hardship, when, in actuality, if someone has owed you (money or whatever) for over a year, and you are still alive and able to make it through another day/week/month, then really, you no longer truly require the indebted asset to survive. You have, somehow, made it. By relinquishing the grudge of debt you not only free the other party from their suffering, but your own suffering is released as well. After all, if that person could have paid you, if they were capable of it, they would have done so. If they are not capable (and I include the capability of conscience in that), they will never pay you anyway... so let it go! At that point, holding a grudge of debt only promotes you as being 'right', and with it, poisoned with mistrust, resentment, anger and pain. And this helps you how?
For Forgiveness to be active in our life does not require that we announce to the persons we hold in Forgiveness that we have done so (though, sometimes, it is appropriate that we do so). Forgiveness does not require that the other person has asked us to forgive them. It is not relevant as to whether the other person forgives us as well. The burden of judgment and resentment that is strung about the neck of us each is of our own concern and choosing. The guilt and judgment we carry we carry in our own heart. Forgiveness allows us the means of releasing this poison when we are sincere in our acknowledgment of culpability and responsibility. Forgiveness does not make 'OK' a wrong, nor is Forgiveness itself the act of atonement that may be required to reinstate balance. It does not let us 'off the hook'. Forgiveness enables us to no longer be crippled with shame and anger, so that we can embark afresh upon a new course in life, a course charted into the vast ocean of Compassion and a greater availability to the
All-That-Is that we call Life.

My Creator may help me to keep an open mind and loving heart and when I am ready

“Teach Me”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When we are young we have a tendency to think we know everything and take the view that those older than ourselves are just “old fogies”. But sometimes we never change and think when we are older we know everything and get set in our ways.

When the realisation comes that we do not know everything we become “teachable”. There is a lot of truth in the old saying, “when the student is ready the teacher appears”. The ancestors are always ready to help and to teach, but we can only hear them when we show humility, respect and are ready to listen. We are then ready for the spiritual lessons to help us grow.



"When you get older and you are ready, your ancestors will show up to guide you."
