Blessed are the angels who walk with us,
            Through we are unaware-
            Those people who take time to listen,
            To understand and care.
            Blessed are those with unseen halos
            Earned through deeds of love,
            For they will always be for us
            Sweet blessings from above.





Hello, my name is Thunder Horse. Merry Meet.This is an interview
style bio. My love, Chuck, asked me these questions 
about my spirituality background earlier and throughout our relationship. 
I have also recieved many interesting questions from people wonder about my background, 
so there here you go... 
YOU: What is your REAL name?
TH: Thunder Horse Woman is my Native American name. I received
in a vision when I was seven and a medicine man then gave
me that name.
YOU: Are you Native American?
TH: Yes. I am also Norwegian, Dutch & a little French somewhere.
YOU: What tribe?
TH: Northern Cheyenne. 
YOU: How did you get into witchcraft and/or shamanism?
TH: Long story, but I will give you the shorten version.       
Ever since I was a baby, my native american grandmother
told me the stories of my people. She taught me respect
for my elders and the sacred mother earth and her union with
the great spirit or father sky. Also, respect for all
my brothers and sister animal and human alike. 
She was my first teacher. Unfortunely, 
my grandmother past on before I became a woman 
and could have a more formal training. 
I have had many teachers since
 both in the realms of witchcraft 
and shamanism. I have been labeled a "gifted" 
by more than one medicine man/woman in my lifetime. 
I come from a long line of medicine women. 
I chose to carry on the tradition of my people on. 
I am honored to carry on a generational tradition.
YOU: What is a "gifted"?
TH:  A "gifted" is a person male or female usually born of
another "gifted" who sees visions and if he/she chooses
he/she will become a type of shamen. There are many 
different ways of healing and everyone has their own
speciality.
YOU: What is the different between a witch and a shamen?
TH: To me, a shamen and a witch are very alike. A shamen is
the "witch" of the Native American culture, in general.
But, it really depends on one personal definition of witch.
If you have read Alder's Drawing down the Moon, you understand
that this question is harder than it seems. Let me think on that
one and get back to you.
YOU: What do you do for fun?
TH: I am always reading something, whether it is for a class,
or a spiritual book. I draw and write poetry on a regular basis.
I go out dancing sometimes at a couple of clubs other than dmf.                                  
YOU: What is your favorite holiday?
TH: Halloween, the Witches New Year.
