Hi
I am Jim TwoFeathers and beside me is my wife, Lorraine.
I am a member
of the Mvscogee Nation (Wolf Clan) and have been an artist and writer and have
walked the Medicine Path for many years. These
pages are about Native
Medicine, Spirit, Poetry and
Art. Through my Native Medicine teachers and visioning, I came to understand and walk my
Wolf/Coyote ways.
My writing and art is about my own understanding of Spirit and
Wolf/Coyote Medicine. My
job is to "trick" and "Move"you into another perception
|
|
Lorraine, an
Intuitive Distance or Hands-on
Healer/Reader,
has the ability "see" what's going on inside
you physically and Spiritually. She can show you
ways to connect to Self and Spirit so the body can more easily heal.
|
|
Together with Coyote Medicine and Intuitive healing we counsel with people
standing at The "Y" In The Road. The place where you know your
life is about to change. The place where you will understand the
difference between Need and Truth. A place your journey has brought you
because of; illness, life changes, relationship problems or in the pursuit of
Spirit.
We offer:
Phone
counseling sessions
and Email
Readings.

My
New Writing
Water Prayers
The old Medicine Man stops along side
the stream and takes in his surroundings. He takes in the trees and
boulders he has learned to know and respect so well, remembering
thoughtfully this place and how many times over the many years he had
stopped here to rest on his journey to the Gathering of Elders. The
stream, full as usual with the spring rains, fills the air with the
familiar sounds and smells of the Water Beings rushing over the boulders
on their way to the Great Water. He walks over and steps onto his old
friend, a large flat boulder at the edge of the stream and begins…
He takes his well worn backpack off his
shoulders, reaches in and pulls out his Medicine Bag and opens it and
pulls out his tobacco pouch and pipe bag and lays them gently on his old
stone friend now warmed by the morning sun. With a painful grunt and
creaking bones he sits cross-legged with his pipe bag and Medicine bag
spread out in front of him next to the water. . Out of his Medicine bag he
pulls a worn folded square piece of red wool cloth and places it unfolded
on the stone. With practiced hands he reaches into his Medicine bag and
pulls out his old abalone shell with it's smoke darkened inner bowl. Then
he pulls out a small bag full of white sage and cedar mix and lay them on the
cloth. He opens the bag and sticks his nose at the opening and inhales
deeply taking in the familiar fragrance of the sage and cedar. With a
prayer of thanks to the Sage and Cedar beings he crumbles them into his
abalone shell and sits it on to the cloth. He pulls his pipe bowl out of
its deer hide pouch and his pipe stem out of its pouch and lays them
respectfully onto his cloth. Out of his shirt pocket he pulls out a small
box of matches out of which he pulls a match and lights it and gives thanks to the
Fire Beings for bringing light and warmth into his life and then picks up
the shell and lights the sage and cedar mixture while blowing the breath
of life gently until it glows and a wisp of smoke rises Skyward. Out of his Medicine bag he pulls an
eagle feather. While holding the smoking shell he waves the smoke over his
head and his body He then picks up each of the other sacred objects laying there and waves
the smoke over each of them, his lips always moving in his prayers of
cleansing for all. He then pulls out his tobacco pouch and picks up his
pipe bowl and begins to fill it with small pinches of tobacco. Each pinch
with its own prayer to the Tobacco being. He takes out one final pinch and
offers it to water beings and puts it into the rushing water and watches
them race off to the Great Water. Holding his still unconnected stem and
pipe bowl he holds them to the seven sacred directions: East, West, South,
North, then touches the Earth Mother, and holds them up to the Sky Father and then to himself, each with their own
prayers. He then inserts the male symbol of the stem into the female
symbol of pipe bowl with the prayer of the union knowing the pipe was live
and ready to give birth to the smoke as prayers to the Great Spirit. With
another fire stick he lights his pipe and gives his final prayer, the
Water prayer because he was here to honor the Life-giving Water Beings.
For some years this part of the ceremony brought him sadness because he
could not do what he had been able to do in his youth during this
ceremony. Drink the Water! So this part of the ceremony had changed and
the prayer was changed to; “May this stream one day run clear cold and
pure as it once did”. As he smokes his pipe he reflects on his past
years in this sacred spot doing this ceremony again with sadness knowing
this simple ceremony was done by so few. And knew that when it had been
done by many the Water did run clear, cold and pure! In his head he hears
the voices of all the Tree, Plant, Stone, Animal, Fish….All of the
beings saying, “Remember us and all will run clear, cold and pure”.
After finishing his pipe and ceremony
the Medicine Man repacks his pack and stands and gives a small bow to all
and turns and walks on to the Gathering.
Remember!!!!!
