		<description>&quot;Love is not a thing to understand. 
Love is not a thing to feel. 
Love is not a thing to give and receive. 
Love is a thing only to become 
And eternally be. .&quot;</description>

		<description>As far as I am aware, astral projection is similar to shamanic journeying (especially middle world journeys) but comes from a different belief system (e.g. belief in an &#039;astral plane&#039;, as taught by the Theosophists and Rosicrucians among others). I have read that the construction of vortices (e.g. tunnels), which shamans use to travel between worlds is a safer way to travel in &#039;non-ordinary reality&#039; as it avoids the messy lower levels of the &#039;astral plane&#039;. My experiences tend to corrspond with that.

As for changing spirit guides, that is a normal part of shamanic experience. Some shamans have multiple guides and some are more transitory than others. Your wolf would help you with different issues to the eagle (just as you may call a builder friend to fix your house but an IT friend to fix your computer). I have worked with an owl and a tiger and I think a wolf is coming into the picture now.</description>

		<description>I have done these type of things but I always thought is was astral-projection. I dont use drums but the beat of my heart or of someone close by to center my consentration. 

I am originally from SE Texas. My spirit guide changes between a pure white wolf (kotoacha) and a a golden eagle (serifrea). Why would a spirit guide change? 

Any thing that could help explain wold be great.</description>

		<description>Hello Neil,

Actually yes after the experience I had no idea what that word was, so I googled it. Turns out that the correct spelling is Anoki, and is a name that originates from Native American culture. The meaning of the name is Actor. I figure that he must be an old Indian spirit that manifests himself as a wolf, At least in my mind, and takes on the role of a psychopomp or spirit guide. Also, I live in the Midwest of America in a part that once thrived with the Native American culture, which added to the surreal feeling. I guess he was just being polite in a very short way.</description>

		<description>Hi Anthony
Thanks for that. Do you have any idea what &#039;onoki&#039; might mean? There is a place in Japan called Onoki and there is also a tree called &#039;enoki&#039;, a type of elm (Hackberry in English). That&#039;s all I could find out for now. I have also recently come across the work of John Luke-Edwards whose shamanic name is wolf-who-walks-in-the-dark (see http://www.wolfindark.com/about.html).</description>

		<description>Results of my first journey. Any input would be great. 

I stared at the door for so long.
Lying flat on the green.
Such a strange place.
The handle caught the attention of my eye.
Curiosity took over.
Is there something beyond.
I pulled up.
Very Heavy.
Water dripped from the aging wood.
I peered inside.
A Staircase and black.
The descent began.
Very difficult.
The fear began to take over my spirit.
Could feel it numb my physical shell.
I called upon the wolf to help guide me.
He answered the plea quickly.
&quot;come&quot;
I have heard his voice before.
Hesitant and still fearful.
I followed.....
The wolf began to sprint.
&quot;We must hurry time is running out.&quot;
I started to rush.
Finally reached the bottom.
The wolf continued down the tunnel.
A very bright white at the end.
The wolf spoke to me.
&quot;The distortion will clear&quot;
&quot;It is Okay it will subside&quot;
We reached the end.
Nothing and white.
I looked behind me the tunnel was gone.
Where are we? I asked.
&quot;I must leave we will meet again very soon&quot;
He slowly disappeared into the emptiness.
&quot;Onoki&quot;
The white walls began to crumble.
Eyes Open.
End Journey.</description>

		<description>Hello Simone and thanks for visiting my blog. 

In answer to your question I began this project with two aims in mind. First, as a pantheist with a preference for shamanic practices, I wanted to contact others, such as yourself, to share in our unique experiences and beliefs and develop them. Second, and more ambitiously, I intend to improve and expand on this site to become a trusted source of information, healing and support.

In light of this, please feel free to bring up anything you want to share with others, whether it&#039;s a question, an experience or an idea for a post

Blessings
Neil</description>

		<description>Hello, 
I found your website on Facebook, in an application titled &quot;what kind of Pagan are you&quot;.  The results stated &quot;Shaman&quot; with a link to your website listed.  
Being both curious and ecclectic in nature, I am responding to the invitation to review your site.  For what reason do you ask persons gifted or inclined to Shamanism to contact you?  
I have found your site to be interesting and informative.  Thank you for sharing it.
Sincerely,
Simone</description>
