I am told that my birthmother was

part Native American, but adoption records

failed to list the nation 

she and her family line belonged to.

Intuitive resonance draws me to the nations

of the Eastern Woodlands, while a

process of energetic discernment suggests

that the Chickasaw nation may be connected

somehow with my ancestral line.  Unfortunately,

not much material is available on

the customs of the Chickasaw.

I mention this only to set in context

my passion for learning the ways of the

good red road in general, and of the medicine path

in particular.  I do not mean to neglect

the rest of my heritage, which includes—

so I'm told--- ancestors from Sweden, Germany,

England and possibly Ireland.  Thus the indigenous

practices of the northern Europeans from their

tribal days are also of interest, but are not

as specifically addressed on this website.

Given here are my personal reflections and

experiential understandings of what it is

to be a spirit-becoming-medicine----meaning,

to strive to live in harmony with the

spirits of one's environment so that

their medicine flows through you

for the benefit of the greater

circle of life on the planet.
