The rule of three

How many of you follow the rule of three? Do you believe that everything should be all "Love and Light"  I believe in the rule of 3 though as for love light, no. There is a balance in the universe; light & dark, good & bad etc. Is binding someone who is a problem to society a work of dark magic? No because you are helping to protect. A few people I know would not go to the extreme of binding someone because it goes against their belief. Fluffy Bunnies? maybe but remember that not everything in life will go as planned and always be prepared for something darker to enter your life. Fight fire with fire!

Many are in dispair due to not understanding the messages and sign that they are sent from deep within themselves. Working in duality and finding out the truths.. searching outwards nstead of inwards..

many are becoming confused.. going to doctors.. being put on drugs and further blocking themselves by taking the drugs.

Must loosen up and listen to the cries from within.

As the knowledge is within thyself.

Do not be affraid let go and listen to the signs shown to you.

the DNA ios opening up.. as in 3rd dimensional state humaniod only use 2 dtrands of DNA and 10% of brain capacity.

As you open up to 5th dimesnional level this expands.

All I remember is that the totems were red, green, and blue with a falcon, a bear, and a wolf on them there was 2 that were the same.  The animals were squirrel, raven, and bear.  They didn't talk they kinda drifted by because they didn't touch the ground.  The journey was just a path with many trees on the sidesm the leaves were green and the path was cobbled.  Couldn't tell by the Elders they were just glowing in white and there was at least 3 figures.  I remember a voice was talking to me saying that the journey was almost over and the Elders would be waiting for me in the Heavens, it was a male voice that sounded very familiar.

Hi Witcherysyles ... I agree with Kellia, but I have a few questions ...

1) Do you remember your dream at all? If you do write it down in a clean spiral notebook. Any detail must be written, even if you think it doesn't mean anything, i.i. colors displayed.

2) You mentioned totems ... what are they, and what order are they in?

3) You mentioned animals ... do you remember which ones? Did any of them talk to you directly?

4) What "aspects of a journey" do you recall?

5) You mentioned "Elders" ... male or female? Could you describe anyone ... smallest detail could mean a lot.

Sorry for the list ... I truly want to help you.

No that's the problem I dont really kno anything.

Well, if you want to take your next vacation in Layfetteville WV :) maybe the library or corthouse in the county seat can help you with genealogical records. If you just want to look into Cherokee spiritual traditions as a whole, I would suggest contacting the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians http://nc-cherokee.com/ They are a Federally recognized tribe located in western North Carolina. Since that part of your family was in West Virginia, your Great Grandmother's people might have been Eastern Cherokee. They perhaps can guide you in what to do about learning more about the Cherokee spiritual ways.

And as I said before, there are some magickal things you can do for further guidance. Good Luck. Keep us posted as to whether you have any more of these types of dreams or whether you find out anything more about your ancestors. Do you know the names of your Great Grandfather and Mother?

Comment by witcherysyles on July 14, 2012 at 2:24pm

Thanks Kellia, my Grandmother was the only one if our family that knew but unfortunely she passed away a few years ago.  All I know is that side of the family is from L:ayfetteville, WV.  My Great-Grandfather married a Cherokee maiden, But the ones who know everything have passed on and I haven't talked to that side for years after my Grandmother passed.  I've tried to find out things but I don't know where my Grandmother was born or where my Grandfather was from, Grandma never spoke of him because he was abusive.  I've been trying to find details out for years but roadblocks.  

Comment by Kellia Ramares-Watson on July 14, 2012 at 1:47pm

@Witcherysyles Sound to me like you are getting the message that the spiritual answers you seek are to be found in the Native American traditions. Start with learning what you can about the Cherokee. Maybe  in the coarse of that exploration you can find out where your Great Grandmother's tribe is. You can ask your guides in meditation to point you to this information, and you can do mundane library and genealogical research as well. Is there anybody in your family who can tell you about your Native ancestors?  Look up the names of Cherokee Goddesses on the Internet, pick one who appeals to you and light a candle  to Her, telling Her that you are ready and willing to receive your ancestors' wisdom. Don't forget to spend some time in the woods if and when you can. The Cherokee were forced by the Whites into exile in Oklahoma ("Trail of Tears") but they originally lived further eat where there were forests.
