Cobra…

I had been having pain in my left leg for some time and the doctors couldn’t seem to figure out what was causing it.

Last night, Cobra came to me.

I was dreaming about my childhood home with lush grass in the front yard.  In the grass was a cobra.  I walked too close to the cobra and it struck me on my left thigh.  My leg started to feel pain and then numbness.  I was taken to a “magician’s” hospital, where many stage magicians were being treated.

When I woke from the dream, the pain was receding until all the pain was gone.

Yes, last night I was visited by the spirit of Cobra.

Small Steps…

“Small steps may appear unimpressive, but don’t be deceived. They are the means by which perspectives are subtly altered, mountains are gradually scaled, and lives are drastically changed.”

Agnostic…

I am Agnostic. It is not some wishy-washy, simply shrugging one’s shoulders and saying, “I don’t know.” It is a long, hard look at whether there is a God or not and honestly saying, “I just don’t have all of the information necessary to truly know.”

I have been criticized for not taking a stand, as a shaman. Most believe if I am to be a shaman I must know. But that is not the truth. I am a shaman who has travelled beyond the simple yes or no, black or white.

The true shaman must traverse the mystical. I am who I am, limited knowledge and I must be at peace with that, knowing that each day, each moment changes and I may “know” something completely different tomorrow.
