Becky's Totem Page
I have sought answers of the great spirit and my
own spirit guide the
wolf and they tell me that the
mustang is your guide through life they
say it
stands for power,stamina,endurance,faithfulness
freedom to run free,and most of all Friendship and
Cooperation.These are
all things I see within you
everyday.There is no doubt that this is your
spirit
totem,so I have sent you this totem and given you a
name to go
with it that is fitting.I recall a story
passed down through time that
goes like this.
Dreamwalker, a medicine man, was walking across
the
plains to visit the Arapaho nation. He carried
with him his pipe. The
feather tied into his long
black hair pointed to the ground, marking him
as a
man of peace. Over the rise of a hill, Dreamwalker
saw a herd of
wild mustangs running toward him.
Black Stallion approached him and asked if he was
seeking an answer on
his journey. Black Stallion
said "I am from the Void where Answer lives.
Ride on my back and know the power of entering
the Darkness and finding
the Light." Dreamwalker
thanked Black Stallion and agreed to visit him
when his medicine was needed in the Dreamtime.
Yellow Stallion approached Dreamwalker next and
offered to take him to
the East, where illumination
lives. Dreamwalker could share the answers
he
found there to teach and illuminate others. Once
again, Dreamwalker
thanked Yellow Stallion and
said he could use these gifts of power on
his journey.
Red Stallion approached, rearing playfully. He
told Dreamwalker of the
joys of balancing work
and heavy medicine with the joyful experiences of
play. He reminded Dreamwalker that he could
better hold the attention of
those he taught when
humour was integrated with the lesson.
Dreamwalker
thanked him and promised to remember
the gift of joy.
Dreamwalker was nearing his
destination. The Arapaho nation was close at
hand.
White Stallion came to the front of the herd.
Dreamwalker mounted
White Stallion's back.
White Stallion was the message carrier for all
other horses, and represented wisdom in power. This
magnificent horse
was the embodiment of the balanced
medicine shield. "No abuse of power
will ever lead
to wisdom," said White Stallion. "You
Dreamwalker, have
made this journey to heal a
brother in need, to share the sacred pipe,
and to heal
Mother Earth. You have the knowledge through
humility that
you are an instrument of Great Spirit.
As I carry you upon my back, you
carry the needs
of the people on yours. In wisdom,you understand
that
power is not given lightly but awarded to those
who are willing to carry
responsibility in a balanced
manner."
Dreamwalker, the shaman, had been
healed by the visit of the wild
horses, and knew that
his purpose in coming to the Arapaho was to share
these gifts with them.
In understanding the power
of Horse, you may see how to strive for a
balanced
medicine shield. True power is wisdom found
in remembering your
total journey. Wisdom comes
from remembering pathways you have walked in
another person's moccasins. Compassion, caring,
teaching, loving and
sharing your gifts, talents and
abilities are the gateways to power. So
you see the
wonderful things that make up you guide through
life also
are what makes you the wonderful woman
you are,
