I am currently searching for a walking stick. This is not just any stick. This stick will be the one that calls my spirit to it. It has been a while since I took one of my nature walks. The holiday season and the change in weather (winter feeling approaching) has been my excuse not to do some of the things I usually do when connecting to mama earth and her universal elements. Well my old soul is not letting me get off the hook that easily.
I had been in a sort of spiritual hibernation (yes even Spirit needs rest), and now I am waking from it. When dealing with matters of the universe and nature, I rely heavily on my old soul that has lived many spiritual past lives, the ancestors, and spirit guides. When my soul speaks, I have to listen. Sometimes I can be lazy when having to do a task that will help me to elevate spiritually in this lifetime. My spirit resounds loudly and repeatedly to me where it can be hard to focus on daily life that I have to perform spiritual rituals to fulfill my soul.
With walking sticks, they are used in ritual work/magic, symbols of authority, record keeping via carvings in the stick, etc. There are even references to staffs/sticks used in spiritual work in the bible. Ritual sticks are used by spiritual priests/priestesses in traditional religions (shaman, root work, paganism, African traditional religions, etc.).
What the stick will be for me is a representation in my spiritual journey or whatever my spirit wants it to be for me at intervals in my life. Being an electic shamanic solitary witch of color, I have many spiritual bases to pull from in my journey. I rely on all of my foundations to guide me in the direction that I need to go. I look forward to my journey to connect to nature and listen when my spirit calls me to work.
Blessed be to you all on your journeys....
