Crow and Bee Path - Today's Healing for a Mother

 

  Today a friend contacted me urgently as her Mother had just been rushed to a hospital. Not much was known yet as to what was going on. My friend is a client that I am working with to help heal an injury that has affected her energetically. I am at work, but saw the incoming text. I immediately bundled up to go out and do a walking prayer and then some blessings for her and her Mother.

   As I began my walk, I shifted into what I fondly call 'My bad ass urban shaman' mode. On this trail there are a lot of sketchy people. I have to call on my guides to protect me as I travel deeper into a trance. Hey! watch my back. Right?  I now begin my walking trance journey by chanting my mantra and by working with my Celtic hand mudras that I channeled back in March of this year. I only had to do one set of chants when the prayers and blessing bubbled out of me. I was walking along the lake and little streams of melting snow were everywhere. I thought of Cynthia's trance journey for me last week and how she saw so much water. Water and Brigid's Well.

  Today I was to work with water to help my friend's Mother. I am going to call her May, just because it’s the month, and I like that name. For May, I am working with healing waters. I called on the Goddesses Danu and Brigid. Healing waters, waters of magic, waters of the world. As I chanted my mantra, I felt my body stretch and sink into the water. Sank down and touched the earthstar where the hissing steam erupted upwards through my body as Brigid's healing flame of life. The energy extended and burst like a cobalt beam into the stars where the energy swirled and fell back down upon me like a silver meteor shower. As I continued to walk between worlds I became the Kildare Oak. A massive Tree of Life. Roots in Brigid's Well. Branches in the Stars.

   In my branches I welcomed the Hive. A massive Bee of Life swarm. My Bees, My Queen, My swarm. My Hive. Thrum Thrum Thrum. The rhythmic sound took me even deeper. I am completely unaware of my walking feet on the path. In my branches is Crow, Raven and Magpie. They are here to watch. At first they are watching me to see what I am up to, curious as always. I call on Crow to observe May's experience. Keep a sharp eye on that medical staff. Make sure they give May their utmost attention. My sweet Bees - send May your sweetness. With your thrumming call on the Ancestors with their healing knowledge. Healing through the Collective Hive. Calm as one organism. Maintained and healthy. Guided by our queen - Brigid.

  The waters at my roots are where Salmon swims. I call on Salmon to swim through May's waters, blood, spit and tears. Salmon and I work to remove any extraneous inflammation or non-essential stagnant energy that could possibly hide an important diagnosis or treatment plan. As I am doing this, I come a bit out of my trance and find myself standing before the raging Poudre river. I visualize my friend, her Mom and Myself, holding hands around the trunk of the Oak.

 Maiden Mother Crone. I chant the prayer from the Calliach. I weave the magic up and down the trunk of the Great Oak. Up into the Flame and Branches. Down the roots and into the Well.

 Maiden Mother Crone. We are three, we are one.  We send calm sweet energy to May.

The Crow watches. The Bees thrum. The Well runs deep. The Flame burns blue. The ancestors nod their heads and whisper.

  I blow three final healing breaths into my hands and release the prayer with Salmon into the river. Salmon who swims between the worlds. He takes the healing prayer and blessings to May. She breathes a sigh and receives these blessings. Her daughter prays and can hold onto Brigid's hand.

   I take a moment to stir out of my trance a bit more. I breathe in the spring rush of the Rivers surging energy. I drink up some of this to replenish myself. I pull down some of the silver star energy to bless this work and my gifts. I bless all opportunities for my growth and life.

 
Blessed Bee,
Aspen
