Back again

2014-02-27T21:53:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that I haven't been here for almost two years! 2012 was the last time I posted here. Well, I'm back and I thinks it's time for a change. I'm calling my pack and hope they haven't wandered off too far away.

It feels so good to be back :-)

Changes

2012-04-25T23:52:00.001-07:00

Seems many things have changed the last few years, and though many can be linked to the financial crisis that swept over the globe, some feels man-made like they have been carefully orchestrated to give some governments excuses to control more and more of its citizen's lives. New, more controlling laws is passed, some governments try to turn peoples eyes to events outside their own borders, the support for those who suffered due to the bad economy has been reduced.. I could go on..

Watching the news this morning it seems that we're headed towards another war no one really wants, this time in Syria. I totally agree that the way the people are treated is not to be tolerated, but I see no reason why the western leaders, in this case France, have to be so quick to scream for WAR. Or actually I do see why. It is a way to distract people in their own countries from what's going on in their own back-yard. With the focus turned to some other area of the world, it is so much easier to impose even more regulations and rules at home.

The weather have changed a lot too. It's more extreme, more rain and storms, and in places where this is unusual. Mother Earth is taking a lot of showers these days. We are now seeing the result of our governments refusals to deal with the changes in climate, and it may not be what is expected. I'm not so sure the experts know what we can expect either anymore. What I sense is that we have very little time to decide what we want to do, do as our leaders and turn the head away and pretend nothing will happen, or follow our own instincts and walk down another direction. We have been waiting and waiting for our leaders to act and turn this around, but it is very clear they won't. So now the choice is ours, follow the leader even if it is to our destruction - or turn away from their madness and start walking back to the life that will heal both Mother Earth and the human beings.

Blue tits and magpies and other winged relations

2012-04-25T04:12:00.002-07:00

I seem to have made a few new friends around the house, and I'm not even giving them any food. The blue tits sing outside my window every morning, and the magpie check in om me from the balcony now and then. And the chaffinch gladly entertain me with joyful songs of spring and new beginnings, and black birds and starlings join the choir...

We have so much to learn from our animal, and bird, friends, and we need to start listening before it is too late. We are the ones who destroy our planet, not them. We are the true predators, who are never satisfied. When we go back to live in harmony with nature, and stop taking more than we need to live, that's when Mother Earth and human being to heal and can live in peace. Let us not wait for too long, Let us begin walking the path to healing today.

2012-04-24T23:53:00.002-07:00

There are strange feelings flying around in the wind these days, and the energies are so strong, so solid, that I can almost reach out and touch them. I sense something huge is to be brought to the surface and very soon. It could be a natural disaster, but it feels more like a man-made event occurring that will chock the world into an abrupt awakening, those who aren't already awake that is. I'm not a prophet of any kind, and I sure don't want to scare anyone, it's just what I can sense and feel.

We need have come to a cross-road in the road we're traveling on, and we have the opportunity to make a decision. I wrote about these two roads earlier, the one that our leaders want us to walk so that they can fill their own treasure chests, oand the one that can lead us back to a life in harmony with our Mother Earth, and now we have been given a chance to turn off the road we are currently walking. We can take the other road, and we won't even have to travel through the rough wilderness to reach it.

People say there is no place to go, no land to build on. The ugly truth is, that even if one own land there is no safety on that land either. If the governments see people let others in to building new communities, even on their own land, they will most likely act to stop this, by claiming it's a cult that is a danger to society, a religious suicide sect, or whatever excuse they need to fabricate to validate a violent action to stop the community from becoming self-sustainable and self-sufficient. With this in mind, and a map in front of you, anyone can see that there are huge areas, not only in the US, that are basically unpopulated and that are just as safe or dangerous as your own land in this case.

Now I normally don't speak about breaking laws, a community can't function without any basic laws and regulations, but when put between the choice I see ahead, I'd team up with others with the same vision and start walking the road to healing and a life in harmony, peace, and respect for our Mother Earth and all our relations existing upon her in an instant. Our governments, our leaders, would turn on us without even hesitating a second if they thought it woudl save themselves and their position of power. We should realize this and decide where our true loyalty is -with those leaders...or with Mother Earth.

The two roads....

2012-02-17T02:39:00.000-08:00

As I see it, we have two roads to walk on. The first is the one we already travel down today, the road that leaders and authorities have decided is the road where it is easiest to control people. The other road is the path where we take back and use our own free will and our own power, and make our own decisions on how to live on this planet. The first road has led us to where we are today; exploitation, poverty, climate changes, and with leaders who are concerned about their own comfort and ignore what is best for the people. The other road can restore the balance between all living things on Mother Earth, when we no longer use more of her resources than we need and no longer abuse her or our relations.

When people hear words like these, many feel fear as they see humanity go back to living in caves and hunt for food with bow and arrow. Nothing could be more wrong. The first road is the one that will lead, those who survive, back to living like in the stone age. The first road is the one where we let greedy leaders fool us into believing that they are helping us, the people, while all the time they put more and more into their own treasure chests.But, if we decide to turn off the first road, and make our way back to the other road, we can turn away from these so called leaders, and create self-sustainable, self-sufficeint small communites that can work together for the good of all. We can live in harmony with nature and respect Mother Earth and all living things upon her, and as time pass, we can restore her health and heal her wounds. But it can't be done as long as we follow the leaders in this world without questioning their agenda. It can't be done unless we gather courage and stop acting as brainless robots. When we have the courage to say; I won't walk this road anymore, and step away from the society these leaders have created, we can begin to build a better life for all. But it is us, the people, who have to decide which road we will walk on from today. Our leaders will continue walking on the road that brings them what they want most, money, power, obedience...but if we don't walk behind them on that road, they have neither.

Survival as Mother Earth's children.

2012-01-31T01:04:00.000-08:00

We are all one family living here on Mother Earth, and we need to start acknowledge this truth. We, the humans, are just as much dependent upon our brothers and sisters as they depend upon us. When we hurt and do damage to our environment, we hurt and damage ourselves.

The time has come to take a stand, to decide what future we desire to live in. One where all Mother Earth's children are of equal value and worth, or one where human beings continue to damage and destroy the only home we have - and by doing so lead us to our own extinction. It's our choice.

When some people I trust speak of going back to the old ways, living closer to and off nature, then I listen. They are more experienced and have greater knowledge in how to hear the messages sent to us. I trust my intuition, and when I sense the energies change, I listen to this too. And when they all tell the same, I know I have to be open and look for signs and messages. One message that have been hear for some time now, comes from many people who live close to nature, and it say we need to prepare and be ready for big chages. Some, including myself, say we need to go outside the established society and start creating communties that are self-reliant, self-sufficient, and self-sustainable, and we need to do so now. Now, if I offend someone by speaking from my heart and tell my truth, I am sorry, but I will continue to speak my mind.

More changes in the air

2011-07-11T00:53:00.000-07:00

Still can sense the changes in the energies of Mother Earth, she isn't done cleaning and clearing herself, not in along way. I pray for clarity of mind for all those who still believe we can go on living the way we have been living for way too long now. We need to return to the old ways of caring for and respecting Mother Earth and we need to accept and live by the natural laws of universe. Not, as we do today, thing that we can bend those laws to our will and wishes. We are humans, the children of Mother Earth, NOT the rulers of this universe.

Country life? Thanks but NO thanks lol

Spring, a new beginning...

2011-04-14T01:52:00.000-07:00

It's a lovely spring day outside, and Mother Earth has just begun to sprinkle coloron the grounds. I sense new beginnings, fresh starts and new opportunities in the winds, it is a good time to start anew. We need to listen to our inner wisdom more, not rationalize that it's okay to deny that inner pulling. My heart is pulling me in quite another direction than the outside world is trying to push me in, and I feel really uncomfortable not having my feelings respected. Do I trust that Great Spirit will come to my aid or do I try to solve this all alone? I feel the pull on my heart strings, my inner voice of wisdom wisper: "Follow you heart." The spring is a new beginning, the winds blow in new fresh air and with it the new opportunities to become who we are meant to be... do I dare to jump off this cliff and trust that Spirit will catch me before I hit the ground? That's really what makes the difference...isn't it?

2011-04-13T01:53:00.000-07:00

Some say it's the system, some say it's the big corporations, some say it's the governments...and some say it's all put together. Whatever the cause, the problems only grow bigger and bigger as we, the people, won't put our feet down and clearly state - Enouhg is enough! I happen to agree with the voices who say we need to break free from these systems, start building our own communities, downshift to the old ways. I look around me - and mostly find enslaved people who already has lost the will to change, and it scares me that so many so willingly "accept their faith" and give up on the chance to a slef-sustainable lifestyle. We need to raise our voices and speak up for ourselves and for our Mother Earth as she can't speak for herself. The signs are there, clear and visible to all people, but still money rule the dicision makers and is key to the decisions they make. If we, the people, don't act on behalf of our Mother Earth, who will?

2011-03-03T01:58:00.000-08:00

World problems seem to be on everyone's mind these days, and it's only natural the way things are, but shouldn't we start a little bit closer to home? Why waste energy worrying about what happen at the other sida of the planet when we can't "fix" the problems in our own backyard? No matter where we live on this planet, we've closed our eyes to what happens to our own people, our closest neighbours, famlies, for too long and we need to wake up and start asking: What can I do to help someone here?

I can understand the fear of "getting involved". I've been there too, hesitatiing, wondering, how will this effect me and my life? But somehow I've always ended up wondering: How will I feel if I don't do anything, if I don't reach out? And the answer is almost always, like a real creep.What hurt me is that the favor is hardly ever returned. Is that how we want to be, really? Just asking, demanding, but never reach out and help someone else get back up when they stumble...?

Prepare for the Changes to come

2011-02-26T21:16:00.001-08:00

More and more people post, on Facebook and other social networks, about the changes that are to come. I am one of those who sense the changes in the wind and see the signs. Changes WILL be brough upon us, so we better get prepared.

There is a time for prayers and love and light, but to secure the health of our planet and a future for the next generation, we must be prepared to fight those who are more concerned about money than the survival of the human race. One of the other things we need to do, as several others have pointed out too, is to secure a sustainable living that will not further exploite and damage Mother Earth. If our governments don't listen and start making changes, we need to build small communities beside others, outside the system. The changes will not stop and wait for people to wake up, they will come whether we are ready or not. It is the people who refuse to wake up and prepare that will suffer the most.

2011-02-19T07:18:00.000-08:00

I have been sensing change in the air for quite some time now, strong winds that blow over Mother Earth and bring strange new energy with them. This change is one that must come, one that is needed, but it will not be easy for everyone to accept. Especially those who feel they will lose their status, their power, their superiority, will suffer. But this
change is truly good, in the end it will lead to something better for all living things on Mother Earth.

What I need....

2010-11-12T01:55:00.000-08:00

Rain falls as tears from the sky this day. The angels are crying over the way Mother Earth's children no longer live in harmony. In fact it is almost impossible to live in harmony with the rhythm of nature anymore as life is spinning faster and faster and we are supposed to just keep up with things, not ask questions.

But I do have questions. And I want answers! Who say that world leaders and corporate leaders are wiser, and knows better, what will lead to balance, in economy, climate change, susrvival? I say that thay obviously don't know anything but how to make more an more money (that isn't put to work for the good of all).
Who say that it is better to produce more and more and push and push for more advanced techology all the time? I don't! Sure, I couldn't share my thoughts with you here if it weren't for this computer but I don't need a new, faster, more advanced computer in six months to continue to share, do I? And I don't need a 3D TV to be able to enjoy the programs I like to watch. I don't need a newer, more advanced fridge and freezer to keep my food longer and longer. What I do need is a house to shelter me from the cold and wet weathers, food that are free from chemicals, clothes to cover my body, clean fresh water and air, That's what I need. The rest is what I may want and wish for, but I don't need it.

First snow...

2010-11-09T02:24:00.000-08:00

There is snow in the air today, a clear sign that Mother Earth is preparing for the long winter sleep. Many see the snow only as problem nature has brought upon us, they don't see the good in this nature's way of blanketing the earth, sheltering plants and small animals to keep them from freezing. I love all seasons, the cold white winter as well as the warm sunny summer, and I try my best to live in harmony with the rhythm of nature. Some see people like myself as a threat to the "modern lifestyle", but what is so good about not listening to the rhythm of nature? We can turn night into day with hte help of electric light... We can eat summer berries and food in the midst of winter... But does it make us happier? Or healthier?

I don't say that we should go back in time and stop using modern technology. I know in my heart that the path to our survival is to combine the modern high tech with the old wisdom. I couldn't write this if it wasn't for this computer - but I still prefer the slower more thoughtful way of living my life. We need modern medicine - but the result can be very much improved by the help of ancient methods as Reiki, qigong, herbs and so on. We don't have to rule one out. The path is ot combine all of the wisdom and let it work hand-in-hand.

Therefor I let Mother Nature take the lead in this, and let winter become my resting time as well, a time for gathering energy and strength and prepare for the time when the light and warmth returnes and we as well as nature can start growing again.

What am I doing here?

2010-11-08T02:09:00.000-08:00

Who am I?
What am I?
Why have I come here?

I am Ladyhawk WhiteEagle.
I am woman. I am one of Mother Earth's and Father Sky's many children.
I have come here to live in harmony and respect with Mother Earth and all living things who share my space upon her.

The rocks, plants, trees, insects, birds, animals, they are all my brothers and sisters, and I need to treat them with the same respect that I wish to be shown. I don't own this land, or water, or air. I am just here to help protect this land, and water, and air, so that my children and grandchildren, and their children, will have a safe home here for generations after I am gone.

I am here to teach you to treat or planet, our Mother, with respect, to show you that there is a way to live in harmony with all living things around us. I came to share my vision of a world where we all can live in respect and harmony. We all have something to give to this world, we all have some talant that makes us important to this world's survival.
So let's sit down by the fire and share what knowledge we have to share, and together we will make a difference.

Being a witch

2010-05-28T07:15:00.000-07:00

What is is like to be a witch? I guess the answer to that question is different from witch to witch. As a green witch I try my best to feel and show respect for and live in harmony with Mother Earth and all our relations. Being a green witch, for me, means freedom to follow the path I feel is right and to show my repsect for Mother Earth and Spirit in ways that feels right for me. It also means that I prefer to use objects from nature as well as work with the energies and spirits of nature.

Do I celebrate the Sabbats? Not like it's spelled out in many a book on witchcraft. I try to go out in nature and say a blessing for our Mother and all living things upon her, sometimes I make it a picknick with my daughter and then we "set a table" for the fairies, alves, and other spirits of nature and share our treats with them. It may be childish in some people's eyes, but to me it is how I celebrate.

To be quite frank, I don't think it is terrorists that is the biggest threat to humanity - the biggest threat comes from ourselves. We have let technology become our God, and we have let it brainwash us into zombies who do not think for ourselves anylonger. The High Priests of today are policians and other leaders who preach that money and material things are more important than our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. They tell us that to maintain this world we have created, and anything but this world is dangerous and forbidden, we have to make sacrifieses, sometimes even human.

As a green witch I stand opposed to this belif system. Mother Earth, our planet, is our home, the only home we have, and we owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to keep her healthy and safe. So instead of trying to rule over nature, we have to work and live in harmony with her. If not, we will be the terrorists that cause the end of humanity.

The Way of the Green Witch

2010-04-20T05:26:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite books right now. I recommend everyone who still believe that witchcraft is evil to read it and to learn what green witchcraft is really about....

Fairies, elves, gnomes, and other nature spirits...

2010-04-17T02:39:00.000-07:00

Do I believe in fairies and other nature spirits? Yes I do! Just because most people no longer can see these spirits, doesn't mean that they don't exist. I believe that there are things in nature, and in this world in large, that we can't see, but they still live here, side by side with us, to help and guard nature. As more and more people start to realize the need to respect and work with nature, not against her, I beleive that more and more of us will also start to experience these nature sprits, and maybe even see them. I also believe that every living thing, tree, plant, or animal, have its own fairy to watch over it and care for it ~ just as I believe that every human being has an angel watching over her/him.
Why is it anyway that we so much easier believe that there are angels watching over us than want to believe that there are firies watching over plants and animals? To me that only shows how far apart we've come, that we, the humans, consider ourselves better, worth more than a plant or an animal...My believe is that we are all children of Mother Earth, and as such worth equally...

The Journey Begins...

2010-04-16T02:53:00.000-07:00

As I feel I'm now standing at a crossroad in my life, I've decided to start anew with this blog too. I've always felt myself closer to the Native Americans, or our Swedish Sami people who live up north, in my views of how to live on this planet - especially the need to show respect for and live in harmony with Mother Earth and all living things upon her. Living as a Green Witch is only part of this path I've now started to walk on. Deep inside I truly believe that we must chose a different path, as human beings, to turn what is happening to our planet around and save Mother Earth. So here this journey begins... and you are all welcome to follow me as I start to explore this new path in my life.
