Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a Steven Farmer workshop. For those of you who don't know who he is, he works with Power Animals and is the husband of Doreen Virture.
I attended the Celebrate Your Life conference in Scottsdale, AZ in November and took the day long workshop on Friday with Dr. Farmer. I also had a 2 hour workshop with him on Saturday about shapeshifting. For those of you who are interested in your power animal or shamanism Dr. Steven Farmer is the man to go see. He is going to start a shamanism course in 2007. He has been trained by Michael Harner, among others.
I was introduced to my current power animal which is a white owl. This took me totally by surprise. Lately my husband has been seeing a crane in our area. I call it his crane as it seems he is the only one of us that sees it on a regular basis. It flies right in front of him. We do not live near water and this crane eats and drinks from the harvested corn fields.
Lately hawks have been in my face along with woodpeckers. What a combination for sure.
Is there anyone else out there who has been having power animal encounters?
Yes! Usually when I'm worried or just upset about something Hawk comes to me and almost every time things seen to be better or become a non-issue. Just the sight of Hawk lifts my spirit, I feel an affinity to birds anyway but as long as I can remember Hawk has been with me, for me this is my animal helper/totem how ever I feel I have many others that come and go depending on whats happening with life ;)
