It's been busy on the Inner.

It is time for a breather, especially as I take up the mantle of Flame Keeper tomorrow at sunset.

I did use the intense heaviness and tiredness today, though, and got secondary confirmation of the clan totem.  If I dream of it again tonight, that will be fine, but I don't think that I will actively quest for it.

This is a rest pause.

I learned today that wolves and ravens share a symbiotic relationship in the wild.  It is good.

This year will be the year that I will seriously explore what it means to be a Celtic shaman.  From the beginning researches I did into the symbolism of my three Otherworld helpers that I am to work with, I really don't see that I have much of a choice.  Not such a bad state of affairs in any case.  And so, I will begin with a traditioanl journeyman's prayer.

I stand at the doorway with staff & pack, May Dana protect me there & back.

On the threshold day of Imbolc, I was given the Otherworldly companions that I am to journey with this quarter.  They are~   crane, willow, dolphin.
