Happy New Year~~~ 2019 spirit friends! I am back with a whole new batch of interesting and fun topics so hope you stay informed! This is also my 1st anniversary with this blog (technically it was last week) so hard to believe an entire year has flown by…. This post is also on my sister site at: http://www.mywarriorwritings.com

Feel free to check that out if you want to read other stories about the Ultimate Warrior in spirit and “signs” I get but really, you can sub his name out for anyone! Let’s move on with today’s topic… This story does concern him but also other traits that bring my connectedness in sync with the Universe. When Warrior first starting performing in wrestling, I really did think he was Native American or at least a little. He never wore anything Native besides face paint and his promos sounded insane at times but I still wondered…. He talked about the Gods, belief, warriors, and all that kept sticking with me. One would assume being a warrior, he’d have a sword or armor but no. Armor would be hard to take off before a match!!

Tatanka is a real Native American who as a pro wrestler incorporated much traditional gear into his character so Warrior didn’t do any of that but the thought remained. Who knows exactly? Warrior’s from Indiana, I’m from Ohio and most Native tribes came down from the Great Lakes settling in the surrounding areas now states that border the lakes. Many people forget this and assume they were all originally from the West. Nope, not true. The Eastern settlers forced the Natives out west to inhabit land that had yet to be developed.

The Warrior Family embraced both cultures of New Mexico and Arizona with Native plus Hispanic traditions. I have seen several photos and videos of statues, feathers, and other artifacts adorning Casa de Warrior over the years. People do base their beliefs on areas they dwell and Warrior felt that connection years before his beliefs became his family’s values.

A few months ago at the most recent Harmonic Journeys Holistic Fair I had two people mention the “soul connection” between Warrior and myself. Neither one had glanced at my book Spirit and Belief or even knew that much about me at all. They sensed it and it makes me feel so ULTIMATE when others acknowledge his impact. I have also had others mention much to me about nature and they just know from looking in my direction how it “fits” for my life.

Not too long ago, I purchased a few other Oracle Card Decks to add to my angel one. The Mystical Shaman Oracle Card Deck totally intrigued me after watching a video made by the three authors. I will include some links at the end for anyone interested. It relates to more deeper meanings with animals, nature, and the Ancient Ones who have come before us. There is an accompanying guide book with descriptions just like other decks. A Shaman is similar to a medium but they work more closely with ancient rituals, customs, and nature. They believe in using natural remedies to cure illness and practice in many places around the world. It might sound extreme to some but it fascinated me as I began learning more.

Nature has always been an active part of my present life so perhaps Shamanism was in a past life of mine? Some have mentioned that to me as well so I always remain open-minded. Many may not believe in past lives or new views but I have become more receptive as my development increases. My feather collection always gets people’s attention at an event and even one man was stunned when seeing my larger ones. He incorporates some aspects of Shamanism with his practice so he brought this more into my awareness.

I will share a few quotes from two cards in this deck that really WOWED me and did connect to Warrior. They also represent my experiences also. Part of “The Journey” card reads:

“The Journey is an invitation to step outside the boundaries of your life as you know it…Fearlessly draw your own navigational charts as you discover the route… Remember that the point of the journey is not the destination; it’s who you will  become as you are transformed along the way.” ~~~Warrior talked much about a journey and not a destination…

The Luminous Warrior describes that:

“The Luminous Warrior has no enemies in this world or the next. .. He focuses on his light rather than what hides in the dark. His power comes not from the sword but from speaking his truth at all costs… Find the truth hiding in your heart that will affirm your instinct for peace rather than for war.” ~~~ Remember, this relates to Warrior now I believe in spirit but how perfect a life lesson.

I KNOW this is extremely deep for some of you but really wanted to explore another topic of interest that connects my life to Warrior since after all— he is the subject of my book! Native? I don’t really know but with his beliefs and lifestyle, it always got me thinking. Long before Warrior in my life Native American culture fascinated me as I remember getting books in the school library and reading all I could. Pioneer stories also impacted me so perhaps these cultures of people influenced my warrior state of mind as a survivor fighting for life and beliefs. I also loved the show Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman but that’s a whole other story!

My wish in this brand NEW year is for all of you to KNOW more and keep digging to find out what interests you. It might just connect to who you really are and there is a reason as to why you are pulled in that direction. Keep going on your journey and let your OWN luminous warrior guide you towards destiny!
