Hello. I was searching for tobacco ingredients when I found you. My experiences with the spirit world, animals, plants and other beings would take a long time to tell.
I grew up wandering the woods in the Appalachian Mountains. (I live in the desert now.)
Recently I was having some difficulties and asked the Spirits for guidance about a stone to wear. They responded, the cowrie shell adding an admonition, "Remember Who You Are!" I am grateful. And I thank them.
The cowrie (cypraea moneta) is connected with my experiences with so called Ojibway medicine. Essiac Tea. But it begins long before I was making tea. The tea revealed its' nature to me in a most vivid way. A long story for another time. So, here is a little story about frog medicine.
One day in a christian church the minister called all the little ones to the front and asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Laughter ensued when I replied, "I want to be a frog." It was later in life I realized how logical my response had been. Based on my observations, the frog begins as a tadpole, looses its tail, grows legs. then becomes an adult.
Much truth from a child who spent more time communing with nature than with people.
