“The ‘Medicine Feathers’ to place on My ‘Spirit Talking Stick’ arrived several Months later. ‘GREAT SPIRIT’ One Morning ‘Asked’ Me to drive to a local market town about Thirty miles away. I needed to go to the Bank anyway, so decided to incorporate the Two journeys into the same visit if possible. About Three-Quarters of an Hour later I arrived in the town and waited for further ‘INSTRUCTIONS from CREATOR’. Nothing! Odd I remember ‘Thinking’ to Myself having got there and ‘Asked’ why I had been ‘Requested’ to travel There that particular Morning? Again, came nothing back, so still puzzled, I set off to the Bank and completed My business There. I returned to the car park, and still having been ‘Told’ nothing set off for home.
About Six miles down the road, I normally take a right turning at a junction, but as I indicated to turn right, ‘GREAT SPIRIT’ came through, ‘SPOKE’ to Me and ‘COMMANDED’ Me not to turn off here but to continue straight on down the road I was currently on. This I did as ‘INSTRUCTED’. I had never been on this particular stretch of road before and hadn’t really a clue about where I was going, let alone why? But ‘GREAT SPIRIT Knew’ so I left ‘HIM’ to navigate! After all, ‘HE Knew’ where We were going!
A few miles further on, I rounded a bend and ‘Saw’ the reason for this rescue mission. I ‘Saw’ something fall down in front of Me. There lying at the side of the road was a very ‘Beautiful Lady Goshawk’, which upon examination had not a mark on ‘Her’. Goshawks are very rare in Britain and You never see Them, let alone on the Ground of all places, other than swooping down as They do so very gracefully to catch Their Prey with Their strong Talons. ‘This magnificent Soul’ was lying Head down on a Grassy Bank with ‘Her huge Wings’ tightly closed. This made no sense to Me at all, for if ‘She’ had been hit by a car or shot there would have been injuries to ‘Her Body’ and there wasn’t a mark on ‘Her’. This young looking ‘Goshawk’ had literally fallen ‘Head’ First out of the Tree where ‘She’ had been sitting on the Branch above My Head. It had literally just happened; ‘Her dead limp Body’ still warm to the touch. I said ‘Healing Prayers’ there and then for ‘Her’ very distressed Husband calling to ‘Her’ and for ‘Her’ Two Children, watching attentively, flying and circling above My Head and then very carefully placed ‘Her’ in My car. I ‘Knew’ at that moment what I had been waiting for to occur while sitting in the nearby town car park. ‘She Knew’ that ‘She’ was very ill and that if ‘She’ died, ‘She’ didn’t want ‘Her Sacred Body’ (being ‘Bird-Tribe’), to be eaten by a hungry Fox, or worse still, being scavenged by black Crows. This ‘Special Wingéd-Lady’ had sent ‘Her Prayers in Her Own Language to the GREAT SPIRIT for Help’ and ‘HE had Heard Them and Responded’, and came to ‘Her’ rescue. I was it, albeit to Me it seemed at the ‘Time’ a bit too late in the coming!
Anyway, I got ‘Her Safely’ home, ‘Singing Spirit Healing Songs’ all the way and placed ‘Her Body’ before My ‘Healing Altar’. ‘She’ was so shocked by what had happened, that ‘Her Spirit’ was still attached to ‘Her’ Physical Body, so the First thing to do was to release ‘Her’ and set ‘Her Spirit Free’ to ‘Fly back to the GREAT SPIRIT’ which ‘She Loved so much’, (as all the ‘Bird-Tribe People of Her Nation Respectfully’ do). ‘Sacred Prayers’ were said over ‘Her’ and further ‘Healing Songs Sung’. As a ‘Spiritual Healer’, I took ‘Her’ shock away from ‘Her Spirit’, and then ‘Watched Her’, with mutual ‘Gratitude’ as ‘She’ regained ‘Her Strength’, soar up into the vast ‘Blueness of SKY WORLD’. ‘She’ then turned back to ‘Look’ at Me and as a “Thank You” presented Me with the use of ‘Her Sacred Feathers’. ‘She Knew Instinctively’ that I would not abuse ‘Her Being’ through My having ‘Them’. It was ‘Her Parting Gift’ to Me for ‘Answering Her Prayer for Help’.
A few Years previously, I had led a ‘Purification-Lodge’ on My Friend ‘Medicine Eagle’s’ Land where She ‘Protects Them’ from hunters and Egg collectors. I had said ‘Special Prayers’ during that ‘Lodge to Protect the Goshawk Bird-Tribe People Spiritually’ that Day. Unknown to Me at that ‘Time’ following that ‘Sacred Ceremony’, the Goshawk Nation made Me a ‘Guardian of Their Kind’ and agreed to ‘Share’ some of Their ‘Sacred Spirit Teachings’ with Me out of ‘Respect for Their People’. I ‘Felt so Honored’ to have been ‘Received by Them’ in such a lovely ‘Way of Peace’. As a result, I was the One that ‘GREAT SPIRIT Chose to Serve HIM and Her’ that Day in ‘Service to LOVE’.
When ‘She’ had arrived ‘Safely’ back in ‘SKY WORLD’ and was ‘Rested’ later on that Afternoon, I ‘Received a SPIRIT Message’ to ‘Say’ that “She was at Peace” and was ‘Given’ a lovely “Thank You” for My intervention and ‘Help’. Medicine People ‘Heal’ not only Humans, but are ‘Healers of ALL UNIVERSAL LIFE’. When ‘Called’, We ‘Answer’, whether They be Feathered, Furred, Hoofed or Clawed, or to other ‘HOLY KINGDOMS’ for that matter. To Us there is no difference. ‘ALL LIFE needs HEALING’, as ‘Lady Goshawk’ needed Mine that Day.
Two Days later I was ‘Thinking’ about this event and ‘Asked Mrs Goshawk’s Spirit’ what ‘Her Name’ had been on Earth. ‘She Replied’ that ‘Her Name’ when ‘Spoken’ was ‘Given to Her in a Sacred Language of GOD’ and that only Goshawk People were allowed to ‘Speak It*’. I ‘Asked Her’ if ‘She’ could translate ‘It’ into My ‘Earth Language of English’ and ‘She Replied “Yes”’. ‘It’ meant “Mother of Love”.
[* If You have a very, very ‘Old Agéd Soul’ as Your ‘Spirit Guide’ or ‘Teacher’, do not be surprised if when You ‘See Them Standing’ in front of You very clearly ‘Clairvoyantly’, and You ‘Ask Them’ politely ‘Their Name’, ‘They’ do not ‘Reply’ to You. ‘They’ are not being discourteous to You or downright rude. It is just that ‘Their Medicine Names in Their Own Native Languages of the SPIRIT’ are often ‘too PRECIOUS and too REVERED to be Spoken out loud’.
When I went to Clearlake in Northern California to do a ‘Peace Ceremony’ There by the clear ‘Reflective Waters’, a very old, Two Thousand Year old ‘Pomo Indian Watched’ Me very ‘Intently’ as a ‘Spirit Protector of His People’s Native Lands’. I ‘Asked Him’ Who ‘He’ was, but ‘He Said’ nothing. From the terrific ‘LIGHT-LOVE-ENERGY Radiating’ out from ‘Him’ though, I ‘Knew’ that ‘He’ was a very ‘Powerful and Beautiful Medicine Man’ that once ‘Served His People’ well. ‘He’ was still doing it. ‘He’ has remained in touch with Me ever since, as My ‘Teaching-Healing Ways are in HARMONY with those of Himself and His Ancient People’. I ‘Know’ I am very highly ‘Honored’ to have been ‘Respected in this Way’ by this ‘Beautiful Gentle Soul’, but to this very Day I do not ‘Know His Name’. It is ‘too Sacred to Speak’ of, just like that of ‘Mrs Goshawk’. It is just ‘Their Way’ of maintaining the ‘Peace of PEACE’. ‘PEACE’ is worth ‘PROTECTING’. Despite the lack of that piece of information, ‘He’ made Me most welcome and invited Me back to do ‘Ceremony’ on Pomo Indian Land whenever I could return, and no doubt, ‘He’ will join with Me to do ‘Them Bless Him’.
NEVER DO ‘CEREMONY’ UPON ANY LAND UNLESS YOU DO HAVE ‘PERMISSION’ FROM THE ‘ANCIENT SPIRITUAL GUARDIANS’ THAT ‘PROTECT IT’ FIRST!
This applies to Wales and around the British Isles, just as much as it does in and around the Americas, and other parts of the World.
Secondly ~ Some Countries have Earthly laws in place that cover the owning of certain Birds’ Feathers, especially Birds of Prey, e.g. North America, even if You have just picked Them up naturally in the wild while out Walking. This is done to Protect the Birds from illegal smuggling by unscrupulous criminals in the ‘Bird Trade’ to collectors around the World. £20,000.00 fines per Feather are not unheard of, unless a special License has been obtained from the appropriate Licensing Authority to hold Them. Be warned if You ‘Live’ in such a Country! No matter how ‘Good Your Intention’, You must stay within the laws of the Country. See www.ukcites.gov.uk and www.fws.gov for further information.]
As ‘She’ was still tired from ‘Her’ trial, I didn’t want to question ‘Her’ for too long, so I ‘Asked Her Spirit Guide’ and ‘NATURE MASTER’ that ‘Cared for Her Standing next to Her’ what had happened to ‘Her’?
‘He Replied, “She was Two Years Three Months when betrayed by the Earth ~ Poisoned!*”’
It seemed that a Man had put down Rat poison on His Land and by not ‘Thinking’ ahead and ‘Thinking’ through the ‘Consequences of His Actions Karmically’ to both Himself and to Others by the doing of that reckless ‘Act’, had committed murder in the ‘EYES of GOD’. All He needed to do ecologically was to employ the services of a Neighbor’s Cat or a local Fox. They would have been more than ‘Happy’ to oblige.
[* Although this Goshawk’s death was reported to DEFRA (the UK Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), it was Three Days before They contacted Me about ‘Her’, by which ‘Time’ it was too late for Them to do tests to establish which poison had been used to kill ‘Her’.]
‘Mrs Goshawk’ then ‘Said’ that ‘She’ would stay with Me where ever I went to ‘Watch over Me Spiritually from Her HOME on HIGH’ and to ‘Help Me Teach’ through the ‘Gift of Her Feathers ~ Her Nation’s Way of Peace’, so that this ‘Act’ of reckless murder would never take place again. (This ‘Promise She’ has kept and returned to Me from the ‘SPIRIT WORLD’ during the ‘Heart of the Rose Sundance Ceremony’ in Wyoming in July, 2004.)
As a result, some of ‘Her Sacred Goshawk Feathers’ have been sewn onto My ‘Spirit Talking Stick One by One’ that Those with ‘Ears to Hear’ may ‘Hear Her Sacred Language Speak’ to Their Hearts of a “Mother’s Love”.”
