Hi there 🙂
Last year sometime I went on a Shamanic weekend course, where I met my spirit guide and power animal. I was very touched by the work but have sadly neglected it for a while.
(we don't have a support group per se, but I have wonderful tutors,, both of whom I am meeting next week)
Tonight I decided to do a shamanic journey to meet my guide and listen to what he has to tell me. It was wonderful (as all my shamanic journeys have been) and I was given Angel's wings and flew and danced with them a while, watched some birds and then observed a lovely red/pink butterfly really closely, and had the chance to feel as they do to be buffeted about in the breeze and how they turn, fly and respond to dance with it. I was given a head dress by an american indian (who I believe is one of my guides I haven't met before, he has been in the background waiting for his time for a while). He was called Hassan al car, or something that sounded similar. They said I had learnt the way of the bird, and that this was my gift. I get the feeling I had learnt the way of the bird in a past life rather than this one.
I feel this head dress is a tool to be cherished, and used for enlightenment and wisdom purposes. I came on here to see if anybody knows of this as a popular Shamanic tool or gift, and if they could shed any more light on its purpose/meaning?
Thanks and love to all who read this x
hi there
have you considered doing another journey to receive more insight and guidance?
What about painting or drawing the head dress?

hello naturally, what a beautiful journey, I like to add this story for you.
Story of the Bird Clan
A Chickasaw Legend
This clan was not very numerous. Their origin was not known for some time, but finally it was discovered. There were some people living on two neighboring hills, but for a long time it was not thought that these had inhabitants.
These hills were thought uninhabited because other people did not see how they could get down from them to hunt. When they found that they actually were inhabited they thought that the occupants mush have wings, and so they called them Birds.
They were people who were up and off before day. They did not have many peculiar customs. They were like real birds in that they would not bother anybody. They usually had many wives, and they had a good custom of not marrying anyone outside of their clan or those belonging to another house group. A woman might belong to the very same clan as a man, but if her house name was different from his he would not marry her.
The reason was that they did not want to mix their blood with that of other people. They kept to the ways of their ancestors without disturbing anyone else. They were satisfied with what had been handed down to them. The people of this clan had different sorts of minds, just as there are different species of birds.
Some have the minds of wood-peckers, others of crows, others of pigeons, eagles, chicken hawks, horned owls, common owls, buzzards, screech owls, day hawks, prairie hawks, field larks, red-tailed hawks, red birds, wrens, hummingbirds, speckled woodpeckers, cranes, bluebirds, blackbirds, turkeys, chickens, quails, tcowe eak (birds found only in winters and looking like martins), yellow hammers, whip-poor-wills, and like all other kinds of birds.
Some have homes and some have not, as is the case with birds. It seems as though the best people of the Bird clan were wiser than any others. They do not work at all, but have an easy time going through life and go anywhere they want to.
They have many offspring as birds have. They do whatever they desire, and when anything happens to them they depend on persons of their own house group without calling in strangers.
This is the end of the story of the Birds, although much more might be written about them.
