And total lunar eclipse with a
Shamanic fire ceremony
My first ceremony since Peru in 2007
And wow, it was special.
It calls in the energy and support of archetypes.
I find it fascinating that the archetypes
Are common to shamanic ceremonies
In most parts of the world.
It doesn't matter what you call them
For they rest with the four directions.
Far predating Christianity,
The four directions and the symbol of the cross
Surround the epicentre - of the seer.
The energy of the archetypes can be called upon
To act as 'allies' - that energetically support
Our intentions and prayers, by ceremony and ritual
And with the wood fire burning
Under the full moonlit night we begin:
South
To
the winds of the South
Great
Serpent
Wrap
your coils of light around us
Teach
us to shed the past the way you shed your skin
To
walk softly on the Earth
Teach
us the Beauty Way
West
To
the winds of the West
Mother
Jaguar
Protect
our medicine space
Teach
us the way of peace, to live impeccably
Show
us the way beyond death
North
To
the winds of the North
Hummingbird,
Grandmothers and Grandfathers
Ancient
Ones
Come
and warm your hands by our fires
Whisper
to us in the wind
We
honor you who have come before us
And
you who will come after us, our children’s children
East
To
the winds of the East
Great
eagle, condor
Come
to us from the place of the rising Sun
Keep
us under your wing
Show
us the mountains we only dare to dream of
Teach
us to fly wing to wing with the Great Spirit
Mother
Earth
We’ve
gathered for the healing of all of your children
The
Stone People, the Plant People
The
four-legged, the two-legged, the creepy crawlers
The
finned, the furred, and the winged ones
All
our relations
Father
Sun
Father
Sun, Grandmother Moon, to the Star Nations
Great
Spirit, you who are known by a thousand names
And
you who are the unnamable One
Thank
you for bringing us together
And
allowing us to sing the Song of Life
Close
The
four directions, Mother Earth and Father Sky
Thank
you archetypes for being with us
Serpent,
jaguar, hummingbird, and eagle
We
release your energies to return
To
the four corners of the Earth
