I am a daughter of wolves.
I am a daughter of the earth and everything on it.
I hear the trees' heartbeat and the wind's cry.
I am struck speechless by the cold beauty of the moon and I am brought to tears by the ocean's eternal song.

I am a daughter of the Goddess and God, and it is to them that I dedicate every post on this blog.
I am the virgin snow on mountain heights;
I am the fruitful loam in valley depths.
I am the gold and silver of the temple vessels;
I am the mire on sandals left by the faithful
at the temple gate. — Book of Tokens (via lucifelle)

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.” — John (Fire) Lame Deer, Sioux Lakota, 1903-1976.

Think you might be an empath ?
Okay , here’s a quick guideline , and again it varies on an individual basis .
6 Signs You’re An Empath
When in public, do you constantly feel overwhelmed with inexplicable emotions for which you can’t determine the reason?
This is the reality of an Empath - one who hasn’t yet learned how to block other people’s emotions out. Being around other people is such a harrowing experience, most of them prefer to keep their own company, living the life of a hermit. And they usually find it very much worth it.
~~
Do you experience other people’s physical ailments?
This is most common with those you have an emotional connection, but can occur with anyone. A very good example of this would be suddenly feeling very lethargic and fatigued, for no reason, and having to remain in bed for a day or two.
~~
Do you feel overwhelmed when watching something horrible in real life or even on television?
This one sounds silly, but viewing the news or depressing commercials designed to induce sympathy and open wallets, can debilitate an Empath for several hours. While most people get upset over homeless dogs and cats, an Empath will often feel like their hearts have been lanced.
~~
Do you ALWAYS know what someone really means?
In other words, can you always, always, always tell what it is someone meant to say to you? More importantly, can you tell why they didn’t? If an Empath is in person with someone and they’ve just been lied to, they will know. And they will know why.
~~
Do you feel compelled to care for anyone in pain, no matter who they are and what they’ve done to you?
A true Empath cannot walk past someone suffering and not feel a need to stop and help that person.
~~
Do people open up to you - even if you don’t want them to?
Some Empaths are the new-agey peace loving types - but many just want to be alone, because they have difficulty processing everything they absorb from other people.
