- 3:45over Yonder, wherever you'll notice something a little bit
- 3:49different, and we're going to just talk a bit about around it.
- 3:54It here just a minute to see if you notice anything slightly
- 3:56different about what you see on your screen.
- 3:59And I know for you podcasters that are just listening to this.
- 4:03If you're driving down the road, heading to work, coming back
- 4:06home from work, going to pick up a pizza.
- 4:09If you going to pick up a bottle of booze or some water or you
- 4:12know, go feed your animals or, you know, taking kids to school
- 4:16or pick up Grandma from Bingo night or whatever.
- 4:19It is that you do when you're listening to the random Heathen
- 4:22ramblings podcast, and you're not able to See what it is that
- 4:25I'm describing. Then that's just an unfortunate
- 4:29thing for you right now. But for everybody that is
- 4:32watching, you're going to notice something just a tad bit
- 4:36different. There.
- 4:37There's an item here in the, in the frame of this video.
- 4:42That is normally not here. However, it has been something
- 4:47that in the early days of midgard musings.
- 4:49If you guys have been following me on YouTube for any length of
- 4:52time than the item that you see in frame, now will be
- 4:56reminiscent. Of an old custom that we had
- 5:02here with every new video. When I first started doing this,
- 5:07you know, here on YouTube, there was a lot it was a different
- 5:11sort of approach something, which I haven't entirely
- 5:14retired, you know, but this weekly thing is is the most
- 5:20consistent form of content that I'm able to release right now,
- 5:24but Basically, what I'm referring to is this item right
- 5:29down here and it's sort of in frame, but it's sort of out of
- 5:33frame as well. But this is an incense holder
- 5:38and incense burner. It's also got a tea light
- 5:41candles on here. And as you can probably tell by
- 5:45the wear and tear, it gets, it gets, it gets a lot of usage,
- 5:50but basically this, This used to be a custom on midgard musings
- 5:57to, you know, learn a little bit of incense.
- 6:05So I thought, why not reintroduce that?
- 6:10That custom And do that. Again, smells nice creates the
- 6:17nice, you know wafting wafting. I said, wafting is if there's an
- 6:22H in it putting an H where it doesn't belong Stewie.
- 6:27What do you mean? It's who you eaten?
- 6:29It's wafting in the in the air, but now it's a Which one is this
- 6:34one? I think it's clove.
- 6:36Leave it closed. Yeah, clove.
- 6:47So clove is the aroma of the evening. and, Going forward on
- 6:55the random Heathen ramblings podcast, I think.
- 7:00This will be. An ongoing custom for as long as
- 7:04I have this, you know, set up like this and I would love to
- 7:08hear from you guys. I've got a bunch of different
- 7:10ones. So clove is one of my favorites,
- 7:14but I have I have quite the variety.
- 7:22I am a scented, man. I have coffee.
- 7:25I have mirr. I have frankincense.
- 7:31I have Balsam. I have mugwort.
- 7:39So, coffee, frankincense. Myrrh, Balsam and mugwort.
- 7:44And, of course, the clove. So comment down below or there's
- 7:52going to be a, there's going to be a vote, a poll on Spotify.
- 7:56So for all you Spotify listeners, check out the voting
- 8:01option at the end of this or I forget, I guess it kind of
- 8:06disappears throughout the whole thing on Spotify, but it's going
- 8:08to be a vote. A poll, I want you to vote for
- 8:11which incense I should burn on the next episode.
- 8:15So there's some things for you that you can do to kind of, you
- 8:20know, become a part of an Engaged in the reign of heathen,
- 8:23Rambles podcast. Tell me the next in sense that I
- 8:27should burn and I will tally the votes and burn.
- 8:31That one, the next time out of the optio options that we have.
- 8:33So check out that that voting poll or that voting option.
- 8:37Alright, so looks like Going to be another, you know, amazing
- 8:43solo Journey here on tonight's today's podcast.
- 8:49I had a very busy weekend but not in the way that, you know,
- 8:55you would say it's like, you know, I was out doing a bunch of
- 8:57things. It was a very in-depth and
- 9:00ritual filled weekend. And as a lot of, you know, this
- 9:07past weekend on the 15th was was the and I'm probably mixing up
- 9:14the name of it, but it was a super blood flower Moon,
- 9:18something like that. There's a supermoon Blood Moon
- 9:21Flower Moon. There was a lunar eclipse, a
- 9:23total lunar eclipse. That was visible in many parts
- 9:27of North America. Unfortunately, in my part of the
- 9:30country, there was a tremendous amount of cloud cover.
- 9:33And I was not able to see totality, you know, I couldn't
- 9:37witness the lunar eclipse, but a lot of People that I do know and
- 9:42friends were, you know, granted a reprieve to the cloud, You
- 9:48Know, cover and got a chance to see it right at, like the
- 9:51perfect time, right? When there was, you know,
- 9:54totality. So it was a very, I guess, you
- 9:59know, for a lot of folks of magically powerful event, you
- 10:04know, cosmically speaking. And took full advantage of it
- 10:08and in a lot of ways, leading up to and including the night of
- 10:12the full moon, you know, so I want to talk a bit about that
- 10:17and just kind of share with you all what my weekend was like and
- 10:21you know, here to, you know, hear what you have to say.
- 10:24So if you're again, listening watching head over to the
- 10:28YouTube channel for those that aren't there now, head down into
- 10:31the description and share with us all what your full moon lunar
- 10:36eclipse. Clips weekend was like because
- 10:38you know, listen leading up to and including the day of the
- 10:41eclipse. There's there's a lot of that,
- 10:43you know, strong lunar, change energy, things that are going
- 10:49on. So I'd be interested to hear
- 10:51what your weekends were. Like, I've heard a lot of, you
- 10:53know, asking different people, you know, they a lot of folks,
- 10:57do a lot of things. A lot of pagans do a lot of
- 10:58things, but mine was a bit different, in the sense that I
- 11:02didn't have like a ritual or whatever planned for the night
- 11:06of a full moon, as I do in the past, or as I have four other
- 11:10significant lunar events mainly like, holy Tides, you know, so
- 11:15like when we reach the time of the year for, you know, see
- 11:18gonna blow up there when we reach the time of the year for
- 11:21veteran, ocular the the winter nights, when we should time of
- 11:23you, those holy tides that are marked by the lunar cycles, when
- 11:28we reach those full moons, those Very significant.
- 11:31And there's always, you know, ritual work being planned in and
- 11:36around that and this particular night, though, even though it
- 11:39wasn't like a Scheduled, holy tide, as it were the
- 11:45significance of the event. I felt should be should be
- 11:50celebrated. So essentially I had initial
- 11:53plans to spend the night or two out of the house with one of our
- 12:01tribesmen. So Patrick who's been on this
- 12:03podcast once? Yeah, definitely.
- 12:06Once before is our tribes lost speaker.
- 12:11And dingo who hasn't been on the podcast for last couple weeks
- 12:16because he's he's going through some stuff himself.
- 12:19And he's like I said, I was really hoping he'd show up for
- 12:23this one, but he's okay. He's all right, like no, no, no
- 12:28need to be alarmed. But you know, checking in with
- 12:30them and making sure he's okay, you know, he was not going to be
- 12:35around or at least not. I guess opening up company to
- 12:42come over. I usually if I spend the night
- 12:44away from the house. I'm usually spending it at thing
- 12:46goes. So anyway, he you know, that was
- 12:49off the table and I you know, so Patrick was going to be the host
- 12:53and we were gonna chill out over there and do some things over
- 12:57there starting Friday night and probably maybe even into
- 13:01Saturday or whatever. We're really didn't have like a
- 13:04lot of solid plans set. You know, we were Just saying,
- 13:09hey, you know, let's play it by ear.
- 13:10Let's go. Grab something to eat.
- 13:11It was the day after his birthday.
- 13:16You know, so we were going to do that.
- 13:19Kind of have like a late birthday celebration just hang
- 13:22out. Something that him and I don't
- 13:24do on a one-on-one basis, very often.
- 13:28And so we had plans of that for the whole week last week.
- 13:33And then last Thursday, basically a week ago from today
- 13:38when this podcast is airing, the things changed.
- 13:43The plans changed on my end to where I had to Pivot and focus
- 13:48my attention on some other things. and those other things,
- 13:53I'm not going to go into great detail out of respect and
- 13:58privacy of the person who is involved, but suffice it to say,
- 14:05a member of my wife's family and therefore by, you know, by
- 14:10marriage, a member of my family was having a really, really hard
- 14:14time emotionally, you know mentally even I would say
- 14:21spiritually just having a really, really hard time.
- 14:24And this is unlike this individual too.
- 14:30Reach out in the way that they did to ask for help to, you
- 14:37know, say basically I need to talk.
- 14:39I need I need I'm not in a good place.
- 14:41Right? And I think it's probably, I
- 14:46think it's perfectly, you know, good timing of things to be, be
- 14:52able to be there for someone when I've been talking about
- 14:55this sort of thing for probably. The biggest part of this year,
- 15:01you know, taking care of ourselves, mental health, you
- 15:04know, resilience so many things that mental health surrounds and
- 15:11and to be given the opportunity to be there for somebody who was
- 15:15really suffering and needing Aid, you know, in that way, was
- 15:21it was a tremendous privilege. But anyway, I mean, it's, you
- 15:26know, nothing to make light of and thus, in this individual.
- 15:29Was and still is now going through some very, very trying
- 15:34things in their life. And so Thursday, Thursday night,
- 15:41this family member came over and spent hours about 3 to 4 hours
- 15:49laying it all out on the line. Basically, just pouring out
- 15:52their soul, pouring out their heart, to my wife and I, and
- 15:56kind of giving us, you know, Skinny on on things and telling
- 16:01us what was going on with them. And, you know, seeing somebody,
- 16:09I guess, bare it all out in front of you and become so
- 16:13vulnerable to you says a lot. I mean, it's again, it's a huge
- 16:19responsibility and a tremendous privilege.
- 16:23I feel to be trusted that much with with somebody that they
- 16:28were. Willing to just bare it all in
- 16:30front of you and then to lay it all out on the line and it's
- 16:35admirable of them and it's Brave of them to do it, you know, in a
- 16:39time when they feel so weak and defeated rather than resorting
- 16:43to destruction or destructive habits or self-harm or anything
- 16:49like that. They were able to find the
- 16:54courage and know where their family is and know where their
- 16:58tribe is as We're even though this person doesn't subscribe to
- 17:00the same beliefs that I do and is, in buying by far anything,
- 17:04what I would consider Pagan or Heathen, you know, knowing just
- 17:07that, you know, family is there for you and that, you know, the
- 17:10family that is there for them. Have made us made ourselves.
- 17:15So accessible regardless of religion, regardless of Faith,
- 17:18regardless of the world views of things, you know, it's a pretty
- 17:23diverse crowd with the family as it were, you know, it's
- 17:28definitely only, you know, probably a heavier mix of
- 17:34Christian folks, but then you got people like myself and my
- 17:39wife a little bit, that is definitely not a non-traditional
- 17:44religious view on things. So, after all those hours of
- 17:50time were spent on Thursday, it was very obvious that the next
- 17:55step to ensure that this family member was.
- 18:01Tended to was to spend time with them.
- 18:04So I shifted again. I pivoted my weekend events from
- 18:08being spent away from the house with a friend and a brother, and
- 18:12a tribesmen at his place and spending that kind of time.
- 18:15Instead. I let him know that.
- 18:19Hey, I need to Need to cancel for tonight.
- 18:23However, we're I'm doing something as a group.
- 18:26I'm having a get-together here on the next day on Saturday and
- 18:29you're and you're invited which I'm going to be getting to in a
- 18:31moment. So he understood.
- 18:34He said, yeah, I get it. No big deal and I'll plan on
- 18:37being there Saturday. So Friday night instead of me
- 18:40going to Nashville and spending the night, you know, or whatever
- 18:43a night or two with Patrick. I stay here and had over, you
- 18:50know, Miss This. family member and I'm going to get pretty
- 18:57specific when it comes to just, you know, when I when I have my
- 19:02guys and I do when I have friends over when I have family
- 19:05over, when it's, you know, an assembly as it were, you know,
- 19:08there's there's usually drinking and consumption of other
- 19:14substances that Just help me know.
- 19:17We're going to be smoking. We're gonna be drinking, you
- 19:19know, pipe Vape, whatever and and and resin, right and sense
- 19:24that sort of thing. And it's a very just Community
- 19:28tribal event to me. And, you know, whether it's one
- 19:31People to People five people. That's how I unwind.
- 19:34That's how I let loose. Its you have a couple of drinks,
- 19:37you know, burn some resin smoke, a little tobacco, have some, you
- 19:41know, whatever it is. And just Calm down a bit.
- 19:46Well, the substances that were consumed, you know, this.
- 19:51This family member is not a, by any means, a regular connoisseur
- 19:58of stimulants. And, you know, There was no
- 20:03pressure to like, hey, man, you want to get messed up here, have
- 20:06a drink have of this have of that.
- 20:07Like let's do a bunch of stuff like no it was just hey, you
- 20:10know, can I get you something? You know, I'm here.
- 20:12I'm this is what I'm doing and he had, you know, he very
- 20:16willingly, you know, just of his own accord partook of things and
- 20:21particular a little bit too much and it took a turn of, you know,
- 20:29Overwhelming feelings of fear, even sadness despair, you know,
- 20:39very strong and weighty emotions.
- 20:41And you know, when when you're going through hard times when
- 20:46you're going through hardships, you know, when you consume
- 20:49things that are a stimulant of anyway, they're going to you
- 20:53know, there's no there's almost no way of knowing how it's going
- 20:57to react or how you're going to react.
- 20:59Those substances and obviously, in this case.
- 21:02The reaction was to kind of, you know, Insight some paranoia and
- 21:08some feelings of fear even. And so, I had to quickly adjust
- 21:16my Approach because here I am, you know, just enjoying a
- 21:18relaxing. We're hanging out.
- 21:19We're talking, you know, I thought you know, we're doing
- 21:24all right here. We're just you know, Vibe and
- 21:26over as it were as the kids say. Nowadays, you know, catching
- 21:29that. Vibe whatever.
- 21:31And, you know, quickly had to be like, wow, he needs help.
- 21:37You know, he he needs, he needs somebody, that is with it now
- 21:42and he needs somebody that it can kind of help guide him back
- 21:46to the reality of your, okay. You're feeling something you're
- 21:52getting caught in your feels right now, dude, right?
- 21:55And if you don't, if you don't get a hold of things, then you
- 22:00know, man, you're going to, you're going to get lost in
- 22:02those fields and you're going to get consumed by it.
- 22:05So I had to be the Shaman in the, in the in that sense.
- 22:08I had to adopt the role and put on the mantle of the medicine,
- 22:14man. The the shaman, right?
- 22:16And be like, wow, this is more than just, you know, having a
- 22:19couple of drinks and it wasn't even a lot like what I say when
- 22:23I said that. He's not a connoisseur of, you
- 22:25know, stimulants and stuff like this guy never drinks.
- 22:27He hasn't gotten high in over a decade, you know what I mean?
- 22:32And for many thing, you know, so the Bit of anything is going to
- 22:38really hit them hard and then the did.
- 22:41So I had to instead of just being there to Vibe with him,
- 22:46you know, and then be there to kind of just enjoy the journey
- 22:49as it were or you know relax. I had to be the one to kind of
- 22:57just take them and assure him that what you're feeling right
- 23:04now. It's going to pass, you know,
- 23:07this is just a temporary. Let's work through this
- 23:09together, you know, are you drinking plenty of water?
- 23:11When was the last time? This is this is the funniest
- 23:13part. My is part was because he's
- 23:16sitting there and he's like, he looks, he never forget it.
- 23:19Like I was sitting there he goes.
- 23:22Jesse. I know.
- 23:23Yeah, he goes, I'm scared and I would go.
- 23:28All right, dude. I said, I'm here.
- 23:31You know, I'm here with you and there's nothing here that you
- 23:34need to be scared of. I'm going to make sure of that,
- 23:39you know some let's get you some water.
- 23:42Let's get you. Some things to kind of offset
- 23:44the the effects of what you're feeling right now is to drink,
- 23:47plenty of water. And I said, you know, how you
- 23:49feeling. He's like and he starts
- 23:50overthinking it, right. He starts like pulling out his
- 23:52phone. He's pulling up an app on his
- 23:54phone, don't you know, what's my heart rate?
- 23:56He's like, if I need you, you have to take him to the
- 23:58hospital. And like, okay, let you know,
- 24:01slow down a bit there Hoss. Like let's pump the brakes and I
- 24:04get where you're coming from because you're you feel your?
- 24:08a State of Shock, you know, your body is not used to consuming
- 24:12things like this and you know, You're having a reaction to
- 24:16stuff and I said, okay, you know if you need me to I can but lets
- 24:21you know, I don't think you're going to need that and I'm going
- 24:24to be here to help you through it.
- 24:25And when I say, what was the funny part is that I looked at
- 24:29him and I said, when's the last time you took a piss?
- 24:32He goes, I don't know, man. I said well then go do it.
- 24:34Get up and go pass. I'll walk with you, right?
- 24:36Not, not, not trying to be weird over here.
- 24:38I said, I want to walk you to the bathroom.
- 24:40Make sure you don't like fall and crack your head on the sink.
- 24:42Make sure that you're actually, you know, relieving yourself in
- 24:45the toilet bowl, that sort of stuff.
- 24:47It's like, but go ahead and and void your body of some things
- 24:51and then continue to drink, you know, stay hydrated and he did
- 24:55that and he came out. I got outside.
- 24:57He feels like I feel kind of good now, feel better.
- 24:59I was like, Thinking myself, who would have thought that telling
- 25:04someone to go take a leak would be considered medical advice.
- 25:09But again, you know, you just, you never know in the moment
- 25:12just what may happen and I'm glad I had the presence of mind
- 25:16to think of that and to help him do such a, just a basic bodily
- 25:21function that at the time, he was to over overwhelmed the
- 25:23consumed, with his feelings and getting caught in his own head.
- 25:27That something as simple and basic, as that was was
- 25:31neglected. And then, you know, I caught him
- 25:36off at that point. I'm like great, you know,
- 25:37everything you've had right now, you need to stop and eat and
- 25:41drink fluids like water, and food and stuff.
- 25:44And, and let the effects of what has taken hold of you.
- 25:48Run. Its course tone don't feed any
- 25:50more into it because this is temporary, you're going to get
- 25:52past this and he did, and it took them a little while, but it
- 25:56came in waves, you know, he was like, he was riding this
- 25:59rollercoaster of he would have his ups and you have his downs
- 26:01and we were laughing. Laughing.
- 26:02And then he was scared again and it was a really intense
- 26:05experience, especially, you know, for me because I'm sitting
- 26:10here thinking. Wow, we're just going to have a
- 26:12good time and turned out. I mean, it was a good time,
- 26:17maybe not so much for him for the most part because of the,
- 26:19again, those moments of fear and paranoia, but he kept
- 26:23apologizing. I'm sorry.
- 26:24I'm sorry. I'm a buzz, kill him and some of
- 26:26them. Like dude.
- 26:28You don't have to apologize. This is this is everything that
- 26:31is About what I'm about I said, you know, I'm this is, I'm
- 26:34comfortable here. This is not bothering me.
- 26:36This is not disturbing me. I'm in my wheelhouse, man.
- 26:41I'm about it. So we let some incense some rep,
- 26:44some resin actually. I had some dragon's blood resin,
- 26:47which is as a lot of, you know, anti-inflammatory anti-diarrheal
- 26:51anti lodges. Good healing properties, and
- 26:57it's actually something that has come to find out like a natural
- 27:01bug repellent. Element to very common, very
- 27:04soft aroma. So we burn some of that resin,
- 27:07you know, and I guided the smoke and let him kind of breathe in.
- 27:09And so this may help calm you down.
- 27:10Is it helping? He's breathing it in.
- 27:12He's like, yeah, to help send, it's okay.
- 27:14You let me know if any of this gets to be uncomfortable or too
- 27:17much if I eat, you know, if this is too much of a sensory
- 27:20overload, but I'm going to do I'm going to rely on you to kind
- 27:25of just let me know I said, but you know, I kept an eye on him
- 27:29keep watching. I'm checking his You know body
- 27:34language, you know, all the kinds of things that when you're
- 27:37not I guess and I don't like to use the word trained in this
- 27:41because I feel like some of this has to become, it has to be
- 27:45inherently. Any like you have to be the one
- 27:48to want to guide the 12 want to care.
- 27:49Take the one to want to. Be the healer, you know, not
- 27:55everybody's about that. Not everybody's meant to be
- 27:57that. But I got to achieve that, you
- 28:03know, achievement unlocked, whatever.
- 28:06But I got to experience that in and with somebody whose family
- 28:11and who was going through something so.
- 28:13So weighty and so, you know, has such an impact on their life and
- 28:19I was there for them to get past the difficult moment of the
- 28:25healing process. Partially the healing process.
- 28:28It's not like that's Not the thing that healed.
- 28:30And but it was part of it. It was, it was a healing.
- 28:32Ceremony, was a ritual. So that was a long night and
- 28:37then Saturday, like I said, I told Patrick say I'm going to
- 28:41have him back over. You're welcome to come and then
- 28:44I extended the invitation to the rest of the tribe, you know, and
- 28:48everybody had a reason that they gave me saying that they
- 28:52probably weren't going to be there again, dingo with him,
- 28:55what he's going through is. I appreciate the invite, but I'm
- 28:57still dealing with my own stuff and I'm like, it's cool, man.
- 29:00I just didn't want to, you know, exclude you do your thing, and
- 29:05we'll be You get back, you know, whatever it is that you're
- 29:07doing. Respect you, you're he's fully
- 29:10capable. He's the Goethe, right?
- 29:12So if he needs to go down those dark path and he needs to do his
- 29:15go, these stuff then then you know, gold is going to go thee.
- 29:20So he's going to do the go thing.
- 29:23He's going, he's going to do the thing.
- 29:25He's go thing. He's go thing.
- 29:28Yeah. He's go thing.
- 29:32And then Jean, I invited him. He's he was working.
- 29:35He says I'll be working up here on my dad's property all day.
- 29:39Probably not going to make it and then Richard, he's he was
- 29:43recording an album or an EP in the studio all day Saturday.
- 29:46He's like, I don't know if I come or not.
- 29:47I might may not may not whatever.
- 29:50I said, it's cool man, you know, I'm going to be grilling if you
- 29:53want bring anything to grill. That's fine.
- 29:55Otherwise, there's going to be stuff too.
- 29:56There's this chicken. I had I know, getting chicken
- 29:59and chicken gizzards and turkey. Is it tuna steaks?
- 30:03Patrick came over? He brought some like stir-fry
- 30:05vegetables. We had some red skin potatoes.
- 30:07It was it was a mini feast and that's how we do it.
- 30:10And I think that's how when I do these.
- 30:11Like guys nice or what I invite people over.
- 30:13I'm like, you know, you want me to throw something on the grill,
- 30:16it's fine. I see what we're going to eat.
- 30:17We're going to eat good. So Patrick showed up and it was
- 30:23just me and him for a while. Me and him basically did like a
- 30:26cooking aspect of things and had a couple of drinks.
- 30:30And then Justin showed up my wife's cousin a family member,
- 30:34right? He showed up and I told him.
- 30:37I said, I did none of more no more.
- 30:39This, you know, no more stimulants.
- 30:42He's like, no man, I don't need anymore.
- 30:44He said that last night was enough for me.
- 30:45I'm like good because we're not having to repeat it that, you
- 30:47know, you had your moment and said, you know, don't think you
- 30:51need that anymore. So so we're not going to Offer
- 30:54any to you, right? Patrick and I though we were we
- 31:00were doing our thing. And then surprisingly, everybody
- 31:04else that I invited with the exception of dingo ended up
- 31:06showing up Richard Kane. Jean came and the cool thing
- 31:11about that whole thing. Is that Richard and Jean haven't
- 31:13seen each other. Since before you were old, and I
- 31:17want to get Richard back on this podcast because he's been here
- 31:20before talking about like an Okie and beliefs and stuff.
- 31:22And I actually want to get him back on this podcast for to
- 31:26update on some things because Richard has an incredible story.
- 31:30He basically nearly died and ends in some form of way.
- 31:35Last year. His appendix ruptured was a Huge
- 31:39thing. It happened right around the
- 31:41time that I was on my shamanic journey in November.
- 31:44It actually happened. I think that week.
- 31:48Or the week thereafter. It was right around the same
- 31:50time. And so He's going to have some
- 31:55really neat things, I think to talk about.
- 31:56So I'm looking forward to getting him back on here, but he
- 31:58showed up and Gene and him hadn't seen each other since
- 32:02Before then, you know, because they neither well, Richard came
- 32:06to You'll, but jean didn't make it.
- 32:07So they they had chance to reunite and I've posted on a
- 32:16couple of my well on all of my socials, you know, Instagram,
- 32:19Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. I've I posted pictures of this
- 32:25ritual staff. It's a problem.
- 32:29Gondor is what we're calling it. It's the red, red, blue, more or
- 32:33red tree. Spirit.
- 32:35Redbud is, is the actual name of the tree.
- 32:37It's a redbud eastern. Redbud.
- 32:41They're they're pretty prolific here in this region of the
- 32:44country. They have a lot of medicinal,
- 32:51Kpop properties, but the tree that this staff is made from
- 32:57came from my in-laws property. They were trimming and pruning
- 33:02and whatnot, there their land and I helped with a lot of that
- 33:08work. And so, the staff is a ritual.
- 33:11That's going to be used again in the Rouse blowing under is the
- 33:15name of the staff. It's red, red Bloom, red flower
- 33:20spirit. So get the spirit of the Redbud
- 33:24basically. And every Tribal member is going
- 33:30to have a piece that they impart into this staff because going to
- 33:35be used for ritual, ritual purposes for with our tribe.
- 33:42And when Gene came over and he looked at the staff, he's he
- 33:46took his knife out and he and it would next thing, you know, man,
- 33:48like worm-like, full-blown, ritual mode.
- 33:52He starts carving into this into this staff and he carves a
- 33:56symbol onto the staff. And it's you know, it's very
- 34:00it's crude right now. We did burn, we did would burn
- 34:02into it. But then there were some other
- 34:04modifications that were drawn into it.
- 34:06So, you know, guys, you know, stay tuned for a better view of
- 34:09it when I finish actually put it into the tree into the into the
- 34:14limits of burning it into it, but the the stencil as it were
- 34:18is kind of there, but It was so ritualistic in its delivery, the
- 34:29wasn't planned either. Like, you know, I just I brought
- 34:32it out. I wanted to show them like hey,
- 34:33this is what's going to become our another Relic, another
- 34:36tribal Relic, you know, over here the stuff that you see like
- 34:41the drum the rattle some of the things that are out of out of
- 34:46sight behind me that were crafted and made by JM.
- 34:52Listen, our tribal relics and this staff is going to be a
- 34:57tribal Relic that we all have a piece and a parting.
- 35:00We all going to impart. Something onto in Saturday
- 35:03night, was when Gene and parted his part, you know, when he
- 35:09delivered his party carve something into the staff, a
- 35:11symbol and it was something like, I don't know what this is.
- 35:14It's just something that's just coming to my mind.
- 35:16I'm like, do it don't even think about it.
- 35:18At that point, don't even try to process what it is if it's
- 35:21coming to you. In that sort of way and it's in
- 35:23and it's inspiring the you know, the inspiration is flowing in
- 35:28that way those those those creative juices are flowing than
- 35:30do it. Don't even think about it.
- 35:32Let's just do it and that's what we did.
- 35:34We he carved it into the stick, the staff, I burned it with the,
- 35:39you know, the burning tool and I guess I just everything about it
- 35:48was so ritualistic and then thereafter later on that night.
- 35:55There was there was divination. Between like Patrick and him and
- 36:02Richard and him and everybody else left.
- 36:08He stayed till about 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.
- 36:15And, you know, you know, it's a good ritual night, man when the
- 36:21emotions are running so high where that, you know, I remember
- 36:28having moments where, you know, look and I'll just get real like
- 36:31we, yes, we were drinking, you know, we had whiskey and there
- 36:35was wrung from Patrick and stuff.
- 36:38Like there was there was several there was plenty of Libations
- 36:40going around. But I wouldn't say that any of
- 36:45us were obliterated and so far out of our minds, due to the
- 36:49alcohol that we were not within our own like that.
- 36:53We weren't conscious incentive of things that were going on.
- 36:55If anything, it just kind of enhance the mood and and helped
- 37:00carry the ritual essence of the night to where it went.
- 37:08But the feelings, the emotional feelings, you know, connecting
- 37:11with your tribe. At a time when everyone's State
- 37:21of Consciousness was altered. Very, very special again on the
- 37:25eve of a full moon, which so also happens to be the the full
- 37:32moon. That's a lunar eclipse.
- 37:34So, all of those energies were existing in the air and then and
- 37:36around us and we were tapping into that that Primal energy
- 37:40that that old energy and and altered our states of
- 37:43Consciousness to the point that we were aware that we were
- 37:46cognizant and and but still impacted in such a way that we
- 37:50were vulnerable to each other and With each other in ways that
- 37:55were not. I think if I, you know, I would
- 37:59just, I would venture to say that they were not normal.
- 38:03Ways of connecting, you know, it's, you know, you can connect
- 38:06on that on those levels without the use of external AIDS or
- 38:10other substances to stimulate. Those those those senses in that
- 38:16way, but needless to say is we had and we were connected in
- 38:21that way and it made for such a powerful evening of ritual.
- 38:27When you, when you face a brother of yours or tribesmen
- 38:31room, you face, someone like that, who is kin to you and you
- 38:35feel their emotions by looking at them in their eyes and
- 38:44Projecting. Your motion to them and they
- 38:48respond in that way and then you were it's a reciprocal thing.
- 38:52It's like unspoken communication sometimes like to lap telepathy.
- 38:59You know, Expressions thoughts feelings.
- 39:04It's so raw and it's you know after it was all said and done
- 39:09like the following day, you know, talking like Patrick
- 39:12afterwards. He's like, I'm glad we got to be
- 39:14ourselves. It was a great night.
- 39:16And I'm glad we got to be ourselves.
- 39:18I was like, absolutely. I mean, that's probably the most
- 39:22simplest, yet detailed way of putting it.
- 39:25We got to be ourselves. We got to disconnect from the
- 39:30hinges, a little bit, you know, unhinged from the physical forms
- 39:35of the restricted forms of ourselves and really let
- 39:37ourselves just be Just be ourselves, man.
- 39:44And The interesting thing too is you know, Richard wasn't
- 39:50partaking of any of these substances to any great extent.
- 39:54I think he had a shot just between Imaging like he had a
- 39:58shot of alcohol whiskey or Rum or whatever.
- 40:01It was. I don't remember which so out of
- 40:04all of us, you know, he was the most I guess, you know, sober
- 40:09one the most thing, you know, uh, Nanny Brie hated the most.
- 40:15If anybody's State of Mind was was unaltered.
- 40:20It was his. But he felt it.
- 40:29He felt the connection between all of us, the magic that was
- 40:33alive in that moment and throughout that night.
- 40:40And so, obviously, we, you know, when I, when I, when I reflect,
- 40:45and I look back and I go and, you know, when I went to bed,
- 40:51literally Sunday morning, because, again, Saturday night
- 40:53went into Sunday morning, Angie, never left until about 3:00 2:00
- 40:56or 3:00 Sunday, when I laid down and I slept, you know, and I
- 41:01didn't wake up till later, on, in that day.
- 41:04I had physical work, I needed to do, like, I had to go mow a
- 41:09lady's yard, and Community who I've never met a day of my life,
- 41:12but on Saturday, she came by was like, oh, by the way, can you
- 41:15think you could do this for me? And my grandson is fixing our
- 41:18mower? I just need somebody to mow the
- 41:19artist because I guess sure why not, you know, you know, I had
- 41:24to come back from from all of that stuff until I go.
- 41:27Now, it's time to do, you know, physical, labor and exert your
- 41:31energy? And physically where I, you
- 41:34know, for two days. Pretty much two days straight.
- 41:36I've been exerting myself. You know, emotionally
- 41:41spiritually I was wore out, you know, I mean, I was wore out
- 41:47more. So I think from just the the
- 41:49energy tap that I just kind of Let wide open.
- 41:57And so I get, you know, I was getting a lot of different
- 42:00people asking me we doing for tonight since tonight's the full
- 42:03moon, meaning Sunday and asking, you know, what you going to do
- 42:06for the full moon and I'm like honestly, nothing.
- 42:11I'm not doing anything. I'm relaxing, if anything I'm
- 42:15going to do some wood burning on a rune set which is the last
- 42:20part of this story. So, the room set, you know, was
- 42:27a redbud room set, very similar to one that I recently sold
- 42:33journey journey with Ivor very present here on the channel.
- 42:39And so, you know, if you're here watching and tuning in that room
- 42:43set that I made that ended up going to you.
- 42:47We had another one and I still have I still have enough
- 42:51material to make at least so I have enough material to make
- 42:56probably one more full Elder, futhark room set out of that
- 43:01redbud tree, but the second ruin set that I just completed this
- 43:03weekend on the night of the full moon was going or is going to
- 43:10Argo these cousin and a very interesting story on the way
- 43:15that came about is because He approached me and he said, hey,
- 43:19you know, she's looking into getting into studying the runes
- 43:23and I'm either going to give her my room set or thought, you
- 43:25know, maybe if you would be willing to make one for her.
- 43:29I can compensate you for that. And just tell me how much and
- 43:34Mike, what do you want, you know, do you want?
- 43:36I didn't do Birch, we can do Driftwood.
- 43:38I got a couple of see show rooms left and it said, I also have
- 43:41got material to make the Redbud ruins the same.
- 43:44So what do you want? He said the red button.
- 43:46Red. Bud runes.
- 43:47Sound good and again how much and I was dodging around the
- 43:52whole thing because this is tried, you know.
- 43:54Even though it's a cousin of his and even though his cousin's not
- 43:58a member of the tribe. It's you know Association and
- 44:02I'm like, I'm not going to charge you for this.
- 44:04He's like you're going to tell me how much that is, or I'm just
- 44:07going to send you to a money. I'm just going to send you the
- 44:09amount and I'm like, okay, let's do this.
- 44:14I need resin, you know, I burn a lot of resin and I said, you
- 44:17know, I need a steady supply of it and I said, so I'm thinking
- 44:20of getting some new stuff for some more stuff and so let's do
- 44:23a gift exchange. Let's cancel.
- 44:25Let's count this as a gift, you know, so you I get you the runes
- 44:29and uyghur, we give them to, you know, to your cousin, as a gift.
- 44:33And then in exchange, I will accept some resins and that's
- 44:38the way we did it and that's the way we did it.
- 44:41We exchange the gift. So I've got some more resins
- 44:44now. Someone's that I've never burned
- 44:45before some some of which were enjoyed the other night with the
- 44:49tribe as they were here - Tango, of course, so So, but again,
- 44:56those runes were were, were made last week and I finish them,
- 45:02burning them, and giving them their, their, their runic.
- 45:08Identity on the night of the super blood flower moon, lunar
- 45:15eclipse. So I think I've only made one
- 45:19other set by my side by my hands of.
- 45:22I've made one other set that probably equals in power to the
- 45:28lining up of things. I made a goemon other during
- 45:33Seeger bloat. One year, a birch room set that
- 45:37is in jeans possession. Actually those rooms are were
- 45:42gift to him. and, Or he are. He obtained those rooms.
- 45:48I forget if it was a straight gift or if he if he bought them
- 45:51or her how it was? It was several.
- 45:54It was a couple years ago now. So I forget some of the
- 45:56logistics of it. But anyway, they made it to him
- 46:00and they were made again on the night of a singer bloat, full
- 46:05moon in the goal of monitor month.
- 46:08So the goal of moon Sigrid bloat.
- 46:14That is probably this the most. Next, most significant.
- 46:20Rune set that I made during like a lunar event, you know, this
- 46:25one being that they were runes carved from the tree that I
- 46:30harvested and that I hand cut the pieces and I did I did
- 46:34everything to him. These are probably the most You
- 46:39know, if you just if you wanted to put a label on it, the most
- 46:42powerful rooms that I've ever made. and I'm very proud to have
- 46:46been given the opportunity and it's an honor and a privilege to
- 46:50have been given the opportunity to make them into finish them,
- 46:53and complete them on such a Monumental occasion, on a cosmic
- 46:58event as it as it is, and as it was, you know, so A very, very
- 47:06magical filled very significantly.
- 47:13Spiritual weekend, it has been or was this past weekend, you
- 47:19know, and I was really hoping to get thing going here to talk
- 47:22about it because I'm, you know, kind of anxious to hear what's
- 47:24going on with him, but maybe we'll hear from him soon.
- 47:29I can't make any promises because again, hit that he's on
- 47:32his own path, right now. He's doing his thing, but I can
- 47:36almost assuredly say that when it is time to get back on here,
- 47:39and he does come that. We're going to hear some pretty
- 47:42wild stories. You know, because it's never a
- 47:46dull moment with dingo. It's never a dull moment with
- 47:49that man. He's been my guide in this, you
- 47:57know, in the spirituality and of this path for years now, and
- 48:03he's partook in me. He has partook with me in many
- 48:08different rituals. Most significant ritual of my
- 48:11life was with him and Patrick and Yeah, nothing.
- 48:17Nothing that he needs to do is is of concern like a, you know,
- 48:23the fact that he's just kind of been at my not am not really am
- 48:25IA like we still connect, but how to the level at which he's
- 48:31gone to kind of Disconnect from the outside and to go inward, I
- 48:37think for a lot of people it would be cause for concern.
- 48:41But I know the man and I know that he's doing what needs to be
- 48:45done. And when he comes back.
- 48:46Back from it all and he's back from it.
- 48:48I hope that there's and I believe that there will be a
- 48:53refreshed and renewed Bingo to behold and see.
- 48:59So all good things that are worth waiting for, you know, you
- 49:03know when he comes back and when he's back here on the podcast,
- 49:07it'll be it'll be well worth the wait or the time that he wasn't
- 49:11here. So perhaps next week or in the
- 49:16coming weeks. We'll be talking with him to
- 49:18kind of get a sense of like, yeah.
- 49:21What happened, man? Where'd you go?
- 49:23What you do? How'd it go?
- 49:26You missed some stuff over here with us, but that, and, you
- 49:30know, that's the other neat thing too.
- 49:32Is like, even though he wasn't here, physically, like he, he
- 49:35had made a statement saying that I'll make my, I'll make a make a
- 49:39stop or I'll make my presence known.
- 49:42Early or whatever. Like, even though I'm not there,
- 49:43physically, I'll be. I'll make a, I'll make an
- 49:46appearance and He did. I have no doubt that a couple of
- 49:55things that stand out in my mind that I'm not going to like
- 49:58really going to to deeply right now because, you know, the level
- 50:03at which I share these things, you know, a lot would argue like
- 50:07wow, that's that's pretty private stuff, you know, the
- 50:09fact that you're sharing that level of things but I want
- 50:15people to know, I want people to realize that you know, you know,
- 50:19yes, this is this was closed off to us, but the Ants so I can sit
- 50:23here showing you video of it all and you know, whatever.
- 50:25Like I'm just telling you a story.
- 50:28I'm telling you a tale and I'm and I'm weaving.
- 50:32The words into your mind and into your ears to know that this
- 50:35exists in these things happen, and they happen, and in ways
- 50:38that are organic and that are real and genuine and true.
- 50:48And so when I say that Dingo what he said was that he would
- 50:50make an appearance when I say that up that his that he that we
- 50:53did feel his presence and then he did make an appearance that
- 50:55we his presence was felt. Trust me in that, I am not
- 51:01bullshitting you. Drop the one.
- 51:07When dingoes here, it's usually, you know a little bit more of a
- 51:11mature audience type type show. But yeah, there's my one.
- 51:16One for the team as it were. So, yeah, that's that's kind of
- 51:22where things were at and very, very impactful, very powerful
