It is interesting how you find answers to questions in the
most unlikely places. This past weekend
I was a vendor at the Toronto Pagan Pride Day.
Many people visited my table and asked questions about Paganism and the
workshops I offer. Then someone asked me
a very interesting question. “Why did you study Shamanism if you are a Pagan at
heart?” I paused for a minute, and then
a reply just poured from my lips. I
studied Shamanism because I needed to heal.
So, why did I need to heal?
As I spoke to this person I realized that I have always manifested
successfully throughout my life. Except what I manifested was not always for my greater good. There were times when I got what I wanted and
the victory felt hollow. When this happened
I would simply go on to the next thing and not really think about it, but
something was missing.
When I started practicing Paganism I found that my
manifesting got even stronger. I would
put in my intent and work at manifesting the dream. However there were times that the quote; “be
careful what you wish for” was apt.
Often I would be perplexed by what I received, it was what I intended
but not exactly how I had envisioned it, I always felt a slight disappointment
wanting more.
Then one night I had a prophetic dream and I was called to
Shamanism. At the time I didn’t give it
a second thought just asked around and found a teacher. That was it, I made the commitment to study
and become a Shamanic Practitioner.
Still there was no correlation between Shamanism and Paganism. I never
questioned why.
And then this person asked me why and it became crystal
clear. Healing helped me clean up my
thoughts. I realized that the reason I
wasn’t clearly manifesting what I intended before was because my thoughts weren’t
clear, and when your thoughts aren’t clear your intending certainly can’t be.
So there I was at a Pagan Pride Day and suddenly it all came
together and made perfect sense. The
Goddess sent me to follow a healing path so that I could heal and change the
way I thought, felt and saw the world.
She then called me back when I was ready. Now the world is open to me, I have a better
understanding of the unknown. I have
done ceremonies that have shifted my perception of who I am and how I move
through this world. Because my dreaming
has strengthened my manifesting is more on point. I am so grateful for all the Magic that moves
through my life and through me and for all the healing. I know the rest of my life is going to be the
best of my life as I manifest all that resonates with my Path and my Soul.
It makes perfect sense to me to weave Paganism and Shamanism together in such a way that they support each other. To teach Magic that supports the Souls Journey and Healing that supports clear thoughts, dreaming and strong intending. Wow that is a potent path of Manifesting the life we deserve.
Life is a spiral not a straight line. We continually come back
to the things we thought we understood so that we can get a deeper
understanding…
In Beauty
