When I asked for concrete signs regarding my animal spirit guides …
February 1, 2023

A couple months back during a solo Pipe ceremony, I asked the universe to show me a concrete sign of what the spirit animals that move through the world with me are. ** Note I said "spirit animals" and not the one that is my fylgia, which is the power animal or totem that is always with you, all your life. More on that one in a bit! ** I've reached a point in my life where I want to be sure of things and make sure I get this walk right. ...

Time with one's spirit animal
October 10, 2023

Last week, I spent time along the Atlantic coastline in Florida with my daughters and eldest's young man. From day one while there, the Osprey showed up and seemed to literally be around every turn ... sometimes waiting for me and other times seeking me out. I'd find them in trees, bridges, skies overhead. And if I didn't find them, they would find me. ~ The Pathfinder

From the land of the ancestors
May 29, 2024

The Scottish lowlands around Perth is the ancient homeland of some of my ancestors … especially the Ruthven clan. Although I haven’t managed to visit this land yet, I still feel my connections to it. The stone shown is Smokey quartz that comes from a hill overlooking a loch in Perth. It was sent to me some time back. Now, I believe everything has a spirit and an energy. Each night, I place my wedding band and the oath rings wit...

Go BOLDLY!!!
August 19, 2024

Over the past few months, I see goldfinches EVERYWHERE. Walks ... drives ... even from our balcony. It's too a point that I cannot ignore the fact that this small, colorful birds are trying to get my attention and convey a spiritual message. And it falls to me to be open and listen. It's song speaks of a good road ahead ...   "... as a symbol of unbridled joy, inspiration, motivation, and positivity. ... and&nbsp...

Coyote, teaching to step past trickster ways
August 19, 2024

Coyote ... known by many as the trickster. Painting an image of one primarily out for his own self interests. Those of European origin / descent do not have the best track record when it comes to the Americas, the First Peoples of the Americas or the Natural World. Now, I've been trying to figure out why would the trickster be so closely tied to this sacred Pipe I carry as one of its guardian spirits? Coyote …. Could it be that ...

Everything I thought I knew ...
October 24, 2025

Everything I thought I knew has changed and evolved a great deal since last I posted. And it's because of those changes and the uncertainty I felt that I decided for so long to remain silent instead of posting. This doesn't mean I've changed my path or altered course. ... It simply means I've found more charity and have watched as my path has become more certain and clearer. In the coming weeks, I'll begin speaking of my walk o...

Path to the Sunstone Pipe
October 28, 2025

During the few years I've spent working with the Malstrom Pipe, I have felt an increasing call for two things. I needed at some point to get a personal Pipe as the Malstrom is ceremonial and represents the People and the larger world. A Pipe is needed that deviates from those of America's First People's tribal nations. What I mean is ... If I am to have a Pipe, it needs to be of my culture, that of my ancestors and more importantly...

Choosing a Bear's Path
October 29, 2025

For most of my adult life, I've followed the path of a photographer and photojournalist. So much so that it seeped into my being and became a part of my identity. NEVER did I see myself EVER setting down the camera to walk into another field of work ... let alone one I set aside three decades ago. But I did just that. Walking with a sacred Pipe ... prayer or ceremonial ... changes you. For me, the Malstrom Pipe has help...
