Intuitive Author, Speaker and Near-Death Survivor

Welcome to my Ancient Spirit Wisdom blog where native lore joins science and psychology. I’m an author, speaker, therapist, minister, survivor and messenger who walks in two worlds, the material world we all live in and the world of spirit.

My spirit name is Spider Spirit Woman and the spider is my logo, check out the spider markings resource page for some interesting information. I will be sharing my prophetic “medicine dreams,” observations and spirit guidance.

I was told once by my Native American friend’s spirit guide that I was a “horse thief” because I wasn’t sharing the information that I have been given and I was depriving others of what they need to know. Well O.K, now I’m sharing in this blog and in my first book, The Answers, Who You are and Why You’re Here.

What Is The Red Road Of Spirituality?

The Red Road ia a long winding road that began in the stars,
spilled onto the mountain tops, was carried in the snow to the streams,
 to the rivers, to the ocean. It covers Canada, Alaska, America, Mexico
to Guatemala, and keeps winding around the Indigenous.

The Red Road is a circle of people standing hand in hand,
people in this world, people between people in the Spirit world,
star people, animal people, stone people, river people, tree people.

The Sacred Hoop

My comments on the first paragraph  of this poem:
The Sacred Hoop is the circle of life that connects everyone  and everything.
It is not just for the indigenous people anymore but for all of us.
We are all interconnected to each other and All That Exists.

I Need Your Help About Heaven.

As we are in the Holiday season and Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus, otherwise known as “the bringer of light,” (the son/sun) so our personal awareness of life and death are enhanced. I am getting ready to write a book about heaven. I plan to share more about my own near-death experiences and do a cross-cultural exploration of what others think. I need your help in composing the questions to be answered.

Please share your experiences and questions with me. Thank you and have a great holiday.

2012 is coming and I have been given some insights. There is no need to fear, the world will not blow up, shift it’s axis drastically or any of the other dire predictions. The Mayan calendar ends, but a new one begins. Good things are coming. Please help me. Thanks.

More Proof that Animals Have Souls

Have you ever had a deceased animal you loved come to you in a dream? I don’t mean just dream about them, but actually feel them come to you and you know they are dead and on the other side. There is a difference.

For the first time in my life, I had it happen last night. My husband’s beloved little siamese visited me. Six months ago she died of renal failure at the age of 15 and broke my heart. (Isn’t it sad that most of our pets do not live nearly as long as we do and we experience the heartbreak of grief for each loss.) It was great to see her and she was excited to see me but I knew I could not touch her because she was on the other side of the veil. She was curled up on the bed and jumped up excitedly and came forward when she saw me walk into the room. However, the reason I knew I could not touch her was because there was a divider (sheet on the floor) between us that neither of us could cross. We could see and feel each other but that was all. These words do not adequately translate the feelings both Mooshie and I experienced in the dream. But I know it was her and she came to say “Hi, I’m doing good and miss you too.” This reafirms for me what I already knew, but it’s always great to get another afirmation.

Reaction to the word “Pagan”

I have recieved some negative feedback, from a christian perspective, to the word “pagan.” The Oxford American Dictionary defines pagan as: A person not subscribing to any of the main religions of the world; irreligious; identifying divinity or spirituality in nature; pantheistic. Lets look closer at the last parts of that definition.

If we go back to the very ancient times, before the advent of “main religions,” we find people primarily living an agricultural lifestyle. Survival for them depended on planting and harvesting crops. As a result, everyone was very aware and connected to nature, seasons, weather and the elements, as are farmers today. The ancients did not worship these things but considered them allies and something with which to live in balance and harmony. This relationship often became misinterpreted as “pantheistic,” (the belief that God is identifiable with the forces of nature and with natural substances) but ancient writings tell us otherwise. There is a difference between honoring and worshiping nature. For instance, I honor the 10 Commandments but I don’t worship them. I honor the flag but I don’t worship it. See what I mean?

Pagan Serenity Prayer

Recently I found the Pagan Serenity Prayer and I love it. It appears to have been adapted from the tradition AA Serenity Prayer. This little piece of poetry shows us how the Natural World can help us if we connect to the All-That-Is. Anyway, I thought I would share it with you, so here it is:

PAGAN SERENITY PRAYER
. . . grant me:
The power of Fire, for the energy and courage to change the things I can.
The power of Water, to accept with ease and grace what I cannot change.
The power of Air, for the ability to know the difference.
And the power of Earth, for the strength to continue my path.

I don’t know who wrote this but I thank them. Enjoy and share. In love and light.

How to Make Sure Your Prayers Are Heard

Learn how to speak to the Creator. Prayer is speaking whatever is in your heart directly to God, and in that manner it is heard. Prayer is very strong. You can talk to the Creator just like you would to a dear friend rather than uttering rote words.
Through the centuries, the ability to connect to Spirit has been misused. some people have worshiped false idos or used other people to connect their prayers to the Creator. Prayer is meant to be direct, a personal connection. Receiving and answer to prayer is also a direct and personal experiencne. Do not go through intermediaries, whose purpose is to distance your from the Creator.
Prayer is necessary every day of your life. When you pray and ask for help, you are acknowledging the Spirit/Creator and the Universe. You are thanking the Creator every time you pray. Through your prayer you acknowledge that there is help within this world, that there is a higher power: the Creator. If you ask for help, open your own hands and be ready to receive the requested help.
Prayer is a form of meditation, and the individual consciousness will evolve to the higher vibration as a result. If prayer is not included in daily life, then the evolution of the soul to a higher consciousness will not continue. Pray daily. Make it a personal ritual to pray in the morning and the evening. Thank the sun, moon and stars for rising and then setting as they bring light to earth. Do this as you pray for the highest good of the earth, for all people and your family/friends. Prayer is much stronger than people realize. One prayer can send a strong vibration of energy thoughout the Universe. When you pray from your heart, the Sacred Circle becomes stronger and helps all humanity.

How to Prepare for the 2012 Shift of Consciousness

“I had a recent dream with insights on how to live so that more light can be brought into the world as we prepare for the Shift of Consciousness. My dreams are ways that my guides often send me messages. Here is the dream.
The dream included five birds: the eagle, the crow, the raven, the owl and the hawk. They were flying side by side and equidistand as though in formation. They flew past me and landed on the ground, still is formation.
I asked the Star Council of Light for clarity on what the dream meant and here is what they said. The five birds represent the five energetic pathways. These pathways go in two directions, from the human world to the spirit dimension and back again. The dream came to you because you are working on the book, Ancient Spirit Wisdom, which will create a bridge between the physical world and the spirit dimension.
The Eagle represents a vision of peace and hope.
The Crow stands for spiritual law.
The Raven is the magical pathway of faith.
The Owl represents the transition from one world to another.
The Hawk represents observing the details and paying attention to what steps you need to take to correct your own actions and help others using the spiritual laws as a guide.

A summary of the dream’s meaning:
Humanity needs to hold a vision of hope and peace in the world. They need to learn the spirual laws, practice them, then teach the laws to others in our life, as part of our personal spiritual growth and life purpose. Have faith in the desired outcome. This will help the world and humanity to have a successful Shift of Consciousness to a higher level. We must pay attention to what is going on and take the necessary steps to correct our actions as we walk the spiritual path.”

The Real 2012 Mayan Prophecy Brings no Danger

There is so much fear being generated by the 2112 Prophecies . On  the History channel on TV keeps showing the world being destroyed in horrible ways. Hollywood gives us more horror and fear ending where we are all destroyed in scary ways. But that is just Hollywood.  The Dec. 21, 2012 will be no different than the year 2000 fear promotion brought us. It is simply the ending of the cycle of the calendar. It ends every 5126 years. A new cycle and calendar will start.

Yes thing are in a state of chaos on the planet at this time. That is a natural occurence when there is a change of cycles. There are things we need to do but there is no need for fear. The shift began in 1992 (many say it was the Harmonic Convergence of 1987.) The Mayans say that there is a 40 year period during which things fall apart and then rebuild into something new.  We are in that change period.

Feline Friend from a Former Life

Every now and then we get an experience that shows us a glipse from a former life. I had a vision that I talk about more in depth in my book, The Answers, but I will give a quick synopsis here.

I got a vision one day of being on another planet and seeing beasts about the size of a male lion, coming towards me. It  fascinated and terrified. I felt a deep loss when they passed without noticing me. It  turns out that I had worked with the leader of this group in a situation similar to where we are today on earth.  The planet was in a state of selfdestruction based on the behavior of it’s residents. Our raging storms, fires, floods , earthquakes and political quagmires are indications that the prophecies of the ancients are coming to pass.

What is the Red Road of Spirituality? Part 6

To Walk the Red Road, you have less fear of being wrong, because you know that life is a journey, a continous circle, a sacred hoop. Mistakes will be made, and mistakes can be corrected-if you will be humble, for if you cannot be humble, you will never know when you have made a mistake.

If you walk the Red Road, you know that every sorrow leads to a better understanding, every horror cannot be explained, but can offer growth.

To Walk the Red Road is to look for beauty in all things.

To Walk the Red Road is to know you will one day cross to the Spirit World, and you will not be afraid.

My comments on this final section of the poem.

What is The Red Road of Spirituality? part 3

To walk the Red Road is to know you stand on equal ground

with all living things. It is to know that because you were born human,

it gives you superiority over nothing. It is to know that every creation

carries a Spirit, and the river knows more than you do,

the mountains know more than you do,

the stone people know more than you do,

the trees know more than you do, the wind is wiser than you are,

and animal people carry wisdom. You can learn from every one

of them, because they have something you don’t.

They are void of evil thoughts. They wish vengence on no one,

they seek justice.

My reaction to this third verse of the poem:

Humans tend to assume that we are superior to all other life forms.
