HI Matea,
I don't know about others, but I go alone. If I am just hiking, I may take my dog. He is a great companion! But, if I am on a mission, I go alone. I woud not suggest more than
two days and one night on a mountain. I take a hunting knife, but have never needed it. However, your security depends on your relationship with the natural world. Serpents are great guides, but they must sense an ally in you. When you enter the forest, does it get really quiet? Or do the birds sing and the small animals scurry around? If it gets real quiet, you are not in harmony with the enviroment. If life goes on as normal, you are accepted. You know the answer to this and it should make your decision to go alone easier.
Walk like you are stalking the mountain. Step very lightly and be very aware. Put your heel down last. Go slow. Look in every direction all the time. Listen for the abnormal sounds of nature, as they will talk to you. If you have an animal ally, call on it to guide and direct you.
To know how to suggest the best way to do a power ceremony, its necessary to know your goal.
For the Standing Mother,
DG
