A little fishing hole on Cow Creek near my home. You can catch stripers, trout, bluegill and peace of mind there. |
This is a target range set up for the West Coast Masters knife throwing competition. Thanks to Carl Geddes who helped me set it up and painted the targets. |
This is a Sacred Place. The fish I got with that spear was 2 feet long. My young cousin and I broiled it on a sharp stick and watched the smoke from our fire brush the rocks already dark with 3000 years of similar flames. Sitting in the shade of a cottonwood growing inside the earth to eat our meal was close to being a sacrement. |
Ritual of Intent Here I stand. My two feet on the Earth as it should be. For I am the Walker. I extend my thoughts into my needs. My needs become entent. My entent becomes a portal through which I see what is required. I become the essence of that which is the force and direction of the Universe. I call it/myself Woden** I manifest those things within me that are of Woden. I feel the pain of searched for knowledge in my eye. I feel the weight of the Feathered Ones on my shoulders. I feel the passion for my children who walk the Earth. My blood sings the song of the Mother. I am strong as the Earth is strong. I am the beginning of this..... I become what is. Now my mind and the will of the Earth are as one. I see with my one good eye what must be.. I give thanks to those who went before me so that I am here to make this so. By my craft. By my will. By my blood in and of the Mother Earth. This shall be. For I have said it shall be. |
