Here in this thread, those that wish could post their interactions with power in the waking world. It is but another dreamworld!
This past Saturday, I set out to climb a small mountain in the central rockies. Not one in a park or covered with trails, a true wilderness climb! As I began, I called out to the large Raven cruising above (in his language). On the lower slopes, I couldn't decide on a path to take, as all seemed to encounter cliffs! So, I sat down on a rock and holding my Crow Power Piece high, I called to them. My INTENT was to find a power spot high on the summit and perform a special ceremony.
After calling, I began to climb again. I crested a ridge and there before me were 5 big Crows! I approached to arms length and slowly sat on a rock. They stayed, talking and hopping incessantly! We talked for several minutes; me asking about the best place for my ritual, them cackling about who knows what! I stood. They all departed in the same direction. I went that way. THREE more times on my way up, I was at an impass on the mountain. Each time, I called and a single Raven came immediately.... lighting a short distance from me. Each time, I went in that direction! I reached the top. I built a circle alter (as described here somewhere else) and performed my ritual.
On my way down, 5 Crows were sailing and cawing... chasing a big Hawk away. This Hawk was the object of my ceremony. I INTENDED to establish him as an ally. He is a true hunter of power and has exceptional "sight". The Crows had a different idea, though... and I trust them. I will connect with the Hawk when I am ready.
Such is the work of power in this world.
