This was a vision I had several years ago and still holds as a great reminder now...

Many things went on in this vision but what stood out most for me was a moment about climbing a wall..
I was in this large brick building .. really huge... seemed vey open
Some guy came along and was showing off what he could do.. he jumped onto the wall and was scaling the wall with bare hands and feet ..  I said to him ... I can do that .. and began scaling the wall as well..
I thought to myself ... of course he can go higher than me .. he's much stronger than me...
I continued to climb for the sake of climbing .... as he just bounced all over the place showing off
Suddenly I realized I could as well climb just as high... but I didn't ... I kept that to myself and just let him show off
It was enough for me to know I could. I smiled to myself.
Once I came to the realization that I could do it .. I climbed down and landed my feet firmly on the ground... dusted off my hands and went about my business. With a smile of knowing inside me.
You see sometimes that's all it takes... realizing that we can do something that we once thought we couldn't.
Once you know you can.. you choose to do or not to do .. you don't just not do it because you "think" it can't be done...
The power of knowing is a great thing and can change your world completely.

Many Blessings,

This vision was from one year ago ... January 23, 2016

Last night just before bed, I decided to take a long, hot shower and guess who showed up... the Grandmothers! For those of you who may not know who the Grandmothers are, they are 3 native elder women who come to me in spirit and perform healing ceremonies with me as they see needed. They are my spirit guides but not in a general way... they bring me healing.
Most often they show up when showering because that is always done before ceremony... a cleanse before the healing begins.
They poured a mixture of milk, honey and clover flower over me and as I was washing it off the head elder steps in front of me and takes a needle and thread to my heart and started stitching me up. I began to cry instantly at the pain I felt. The pain wasn't coming from the needle and thread but more from the act itself. I know that must sound odd, it was the awareness of what has been done to my heart that created the pain. When she started stitching me up, it made me take a good look at the damage and I was so aware of everything my heart had been through up to this point. The tears flowed for a while. I found myself pressed against the shower all... just trying to keep myself standing. I then pulled myself together and finished in the shower.
I grabbed some palo santo smudge and smudged my entire body with billows of smoke and lit a green prayer candle and made my way to the bedroom to lay down and allow the grandmothers to finish their work.
Now that I am laying down the head elder starts sprinkling me with blessed water and then begins to rub my body down with an herbal salve. I asked her what this was for and she responded with; this will draw out all that is no longer needed. There is so much not good that has attached itself to you in many ways. These little demons get in every nook and cranny and we forget they are there and are sometimes blind to them. They know how to hide, but they can not hide from this medicine.... it will pull them all out.
I could feel my skin tightening. She only spread this salve over the top of my body, she left the sides and back alone. I asked why she did it that way and she said that she was drawing them out, so it was only needed on top, if covered from all sides there would be no movement the salve would be drawing from all sides and the demons would then just be brought to my center. I said, oh okay.. then lets not do that.. get them out! She chuckled at me and continued with the other two elders... praying over me. I noticed that she left a circle around my heart open and no salve was placed there.
When I noticed the opening around my heart I saw a bright light forming right in the center of my heart. I was completely captured by this light and watched as it continued to grow. It was very with in the center surrounded by a creamy off white light. The light grew and grew and then sent off a tractor beam straight up into the universe. I asked the grandmothers what was happening and they said; healing my child, relax. I lay there then and observed. This beam of light was so strong and I could feel this pull within me... the salve over me was starting to dissolve and as it was the beam started to retract. As this light was coming back into me I felt it filling me up on the inside. It was like ocean waves how it moved inside me as my body was filling up. Imagine water coming into your house and spreading from room to room. It spread to the ends of my body, my toes and my and and down my arms to my fingers and filled me. As I was filling up it created a seal, and finally in that place just over my heart the last bits of light filled my body and my entire being felt like it had been sealed in a skin tight capsule.
I asked why no ointment was over my heart and the head elder said; the heart has no demons, nothing impure can ever live in the heart so it needed no salve. I then asked about why my heart needed stitches and she replied; sometimes the heart takes on so much that it cracks... the more love we fill our hearts with and the more love we give, our hearts expand to the point of cracking. I could see that there were two specific cracks she stitched up. One crack quite large and the other much smaller. She said; so I stitched you up so that the heart can mend better and continue taking on and giving as much love as your soul wishes. Tears filled my eyes once again. She placed her hand on my forehead and said; I know child.. I know. It will be okay. Now rest, you will remain in this seal for 7 days and then we will return for another ceremony to prepare you for the journey ahead. I looked at her with a little bit of fear and uncertainty and she assured me that it was going to be a journey that I would enjoy and with a funny little smirk and a twinkle in her eye she gave me a wink and walked away.

Funny how just a comment can set a whole series of events in motion. I must tell the whole story because … well I am RavenTALKER of course and so staying true to my name I’m going to tell it all! hahahahahahaha

It all started when I saw a friend post the statement “Negativity Be Gone!” .. I responded that she needed to smudge. She then replied back wanting to know what smudge was and how to use it. I private messaged her all the details and since the conversation came up .. I grabbed a bit of smudge from my desk and smudged myself … a little smudging never hurt anyone  .
I went on about my evening chores and as it was nearly time for bed, I went downstairs to take my night time shower… Instead of the regular shower I took a more ceremonial shower that I call a “cleansing bath”. I’ll explain these things at the end of my post.
Out of the shower I was all ready for bed… I was urged to drink a considerable amount of water by Spirit and so I grabbed a 16 oz bottle of water and chugged nearly the whole thing down and got into bed. Spirit still had more for me to do… so I got up once again and picked up a small bottle of lavender essential oil that sits on my bedside table…  I dabbed a bit of the oil on my forehead, on the top of my head and then on each wrist, the arch of each foot and then in the palm of each hand. Why did I do all of this? I have no idea other than I was guided to do so.
Ok so am I ready for bed now? NOPE! I have on my bedside table several crystals. I first picked up 2 crystal necklaces I have laying there, one amethyst and one rose quartz… I wrapped them around my wrists like bracelets but thought.. that will drive me nuts… so I took them off and slid them inside my pillow. I then arranged some of the crystals on my table in a way that I was guided to arrange them. I have no real idea why the position of each just kept moving them around until I felt satisfied that they were where they needed to be.
OKAY… now am I ready for bed??? YES! Whew..
Right away as I lay my head onto the pillow, visions began rolling in.
I am in a ceremony of some sort and I will now describe to you what happened:
There is a large circle with many people sitting around it’s edge. Inside the circle is a fire and a man dancing in a very spastic like inside. There are 2 guys with long poles also inside the circle with the dancing medicine man. Each man stands at the center point of the fire on each side as the medicine man dances between them. He seems to be in a rhythmic trance as we dances very wildly between the two guys with the long poles…. Now as he dances near one guy .. the man will slam the pole to the ground making a very loud thunderous noise and the medicine man will dance to the other and the same thing happens as the medicine man nears the guy with the pole.. he slams it down creating a loud thunderous noise. It is as if the pole symbolize lightning and as the medicine man draws near each guy they slam the pole to the ground to symbolize the lightning strike…. this goes on for quite some time until finally the medicine mans rhythms seem to be less wild and more balanced in the center of the two holding the poles… which make him centered in front of me. I am sitting at the 11 o’clock position of the north point of the circle. I am dressed in a natural linen fabric and have white dots painted down the center of my body from my head .. past my belly button.  The medicine man now starts dancing toward me and back toward the fire.. back and fourth.. back and fourth … again for some time. The medicine man now turns to face the fire and swished his arms from behind him up and toward the fire and into the air. He does this for a while and at the end of the dance he walks over to me and places his hand on the top of my head… the odd thing was that his hand seemed to glow as if he carried fire in his hand… but there was no physical fire there. The ceremony was now complete but everyone continued sitting in the circle in meditation for sometime through the night.
I was told that this was an alignment ceremony getting me ready for the next phase of alignment.
I love how spirit works and how you just never know when wonderful gifts like this will come along.
Many think I am weird and even more so because I speak freely about the visions that I see. I am not worried about what others think of me and my experiences. I feel these experiences.. these visions are a gift and gifts are for sharing. I may be a bit odd and weird but I enjoy every minute of it!
Many Blessings,

I love it when I go into meditation and a ceremony takes place that I get to experience.  This morning as I began my meditation I felt the presence of my grandmother right away. Quickly I was thrust into a ceremony with a group of elder women. I’ll share with you my experience now:
I found myself in my traditional natural fiber ceremonial clothing, a lightweight linen in natural color. I will refer to the elder women from here on out as “grandmothers”. One grandmother was brushing my hair, while another two were rubbing down my arms, hands, legs and feet with an ointment or oil. A fourth grandmother was speaking, telling me what was going on and doing energy work as the other 3 grandmothers continued their physical work on me. They were preparing me for the ceremony. One does not just go into ceremony without first being cleansed and prepared.
I was full of questions and they told me to be quiet. They told me I must quiet my mind and body as they continue their work. So I did my best to let them do what they needed to do, however curious my mind was and no matter how badly I wanted to question everything that was happening.
One grandmother was working on my feet and it reminded me of Peter Pan, when Wendy was trying to sew his shadow to the bottom of his feet. The grandmother that was working on my feet must have known my thoughts, for she spoke and told me that she was preparing me for a new journey. It looked and felt as if she was spiritually sewing new soles onto the bottom of my feet. It seemed like this took her forever to do.
Once they were done rubbing my legs and arms with the oil, I was layed down on a solid surface. One grandmother worked on my hands while the other continued working on my feet. The grandmother that had been brushing my hair is now working on my head and has layed a couple of coin looking medallions over my eyes. They were cold like coins but not made of metal. I’m not sure what they were made of, but they were hand carved and made for the sole purpose of giving one new vision. The fourth grandmother continued to talk to me as she did energy work over my entire body.
Suddenly I am transported to many places. It looks like the world keeps shifting around me as I visit various places. The first was the base of a mountain, then to a waterfall. I wanted to get up and explore but they knocked me back down. The grandmother at my feet said to the others, you are right this one is very impatient. Relax child, this journey is not like the many you have had before. You must lay still to experience this one. Oh, how hard it was to lay there with all of this going on around me. I found it so hard to focus as everything continued to change. Just as I would see clearly the world around me, it would change into something else.  From the waterfall, I was transported to the seaside. It was cloudy and cold as if I were somewhere in Europe, very rocky and the waves were crashing into the beach and onto the rocks. I was then sent to a hillside where I could see over the ocean and the grandmothers continued their work.
Then I was shown the standing stones. I felt the energy from each. All similar but different. I was shown one place that was grand. Very tall stone structure that symbolized a city. It was a  very large, massive scaled version of a city or meeting place. I then saw as the structure fell and the stones scattered. I saw people taking stones away and placing them all over the Earth. I questioned about the stones not being ridged, since they had fallen it seemed like they should have had sharp edges, but they all seemed far too smooth to have just fallen. I was then shown that they were once underwater after they had fallen. They were under that water for a long time before they were then moved. The water flowing over  them for so many years was what gave them their new shapes. I was shown the stone people.. they were the guardians of the city and they wrapped around it in protection. I was shown people over the years gathering at the different stone areas of the world. Only a few really felt the true energy of the stones. Many gathered, but most were unaware of their true purpose or energy. These were seekers that were not ready for that kind of understanding. Those that are ready will soak up the energy like a sponge but say nothing or at least very little of their experiences for  the experience alone were too intricate to describe with words. The experience for those were also so very personal, many not fully understanding it themselves. Left not knowing how to begin to tell their own stories.
This is how my meditation, my experience this morning ended. I am full of questions, but also an understanding and a knowing of something new to me. I feel there will be more to this journey… but for now I must be patient and wait until it is time for the next chapter to be revealed.
Many Blessings,

5/4/2014 Tonight as the hours tic by and bedtime approaches I feel Spirit guiding me. I decide to go  have a bath and meditate for a while. As tub begins to fill I feel myself in a very calm, relaxed state. I was meditated until I started to wrinkle and just before I got out of the bath I heard a whisper say ” you know better, dip your head under the water as well… you know this is how a cleansing goes before each journey”. I thought for a moment .. but I didn’t want to get my hair wet .. and Spirit whispers .. ” well do as you like but if you don’t dip your head, it is then your choice not to journey”. And so I dipped my head like I was told.
As soon as I slid under the water, a Grandmother spirit appeared overhead and said “Go la nv Ga wo ni ha , you and I will journey tonight. We will walk together in the clouds for a while, there are things I need to show you.”  Her face I will never forget, aged but not too aged, graceful and full of knowledge and kindness. Her eyes twinkled and her smile, sincere. She had long flowing, gray hair that seemed to float in the breeze. I cannot wait to journey with her tonight. So, off o my office I got to smudge before bed and then let the night fill my eyes to see what there is to see.
As I lay my head to pillow the journey begins:
Great Grandmother spirit comes to me and begins to bless me with healing waters. First she casts the waters down the center of my body from head to toe and then across my body from side to side tells me that this to keep me centered and aligned.  She then begins to rub an herbal ointment on my feet for safe journeys. Next up is the painting of my body, she begins with blue flowers that quickly turn into paint and rubs this all over my neck for a strong and clear voice, my face and entire head is painted white for the crown chakra, except for a purple smudge right in the center of my forehead for clear vision… tiny lines are then painted from the purple dot in my forehead that move from above my eyebrows and circle around to the corners of my eyes, again for a clearer vision. The rest of my body is painted in greens and browns to keep me grounded. My feet and hands are painted white. The palm of my hands have a small, bright fuschia red spot in the center, the white represents energy being formed and the red spot it’s focus. My feet are painted white so that I can easily walk between the worlds.
Now that I am all painted and have been blessed and told all the meanings of the processes that have been done to me, I am given some information to help with the days to come. I’ll keep those things to myself, for they are personal and not to be shared at this time.
Many Blessings,
​Waya

Last night I went to bed and heard a little nudge from Spirit telling me to get back up and smudge, and so I did. I made sure and smudged really well with sage and palo santo wood and then made my way back to bed. I knew instantly I would be gifted with a ceremonial vision.
The vision that came to me: I was painted all white with some sort of powder, from head to toe and laid out on a slab of pine. There was a bowl of smudge burning just beneath my head and the smoke billowed down my entire body. Grandmother Spirit was the one doing everything is this particular ceremony. As I lay there covered in this white powder, she prayed and used a large bunch of leaves to move the smudge smoke over my body. She would use a sweeping motion from head to toe as she chanted her prayers. She then took a large pail of ceremonial water (this is water that has been brewing with herbs for a certain amount of time) and started pouring it over me, starting at my head and going down my body. The water washed away the white powder which she called “the ghost of my past”. She washed away all of the powder and then rubbed me down with an herbal salve that she told me was for protection. Another Grandmother Spirit worked on my feet as the other continued with the herbal salve. The Grandmother working on my feet, looks up and tells me that what she is doing is for a good journey ahead, preparing me for what’s to come. Once the two of them are done they started working on a special breast plate for me. They told me that I needed a little extra protection for my heart. It had been weakened too much in the past year and needed guarding more than usual. So they crafted this special breast plate and slipped it over me and continued with their chants and prayers. I looked down and watched as the breast plate faded away and asked what happened. They smiled at me and said it is still there, not to worry. The two of them then continued on with the sweeping motion, brushing the smudge smoke over my body until I fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up feeling fresh and renewed, looking forward to the journey ahead.
I am thankful for such an honored vision and the gift of ceremony preparing me for my new journey.
Thank you always to the Grandmothers who watch over me.
Many Blessings for safe journeys ahead,

This was a vision/ceremony from January of 2016

I grabbed some palo santo smudge and smudged my entire body with billows of smoke and lit a green prayer candle and made my way to the bedroom to lay down and allow the grandmothers to finish their work.
Now that I am laying down the head elder starts sprinkling me with blessed water and then begins to rub my body down with an herbal salve. I asked her what this was for and she responded with; this will draw out all that is no longer needed. There is so much not good that has attached itself to you in many ways.

Imagine water coming into your house and spreading from room to room. It spread to the ends of my body, my toes and my and and down my arms to my fingers and filled me. As I was filling up it created a seal, and finally in that place just over my heart the last bits of light filled my body and my entire being felt like it had been sealed in a skin tight capsule.

She said; so I stitched you up so that the heart can mend better and continue taking on and giving as much love as your soul wishes. Tears filled my eyes once again. She placed her hand on my forehead and said; I know child.. I know. It will be okay. Now rest, you will remain in this seal for 7 days and then we will return for another ceremony to prepare you for the journey ahead. I looked at her with a little bit of fear and uncertainty and she assured me that it was going to be a journey that I would enjoy and with a funny little smirk and a twinkle in her eye she gave me a wink and walked away.
