Except the maker of the film is not Saami, so she got things a bit wrong interpreting it imo., but other than that it is interesting little film with truth in it.
LOL. I did not get the rock either! Maybe it is a Druity thing?
Although there is this thing, that before you cut a tree down, you let the tree know … by knocking?
Was that something of yours?
But that tree/pole/Druit Wand was already down …

Plus it is Inuits and Maories, who greet touching noses – not Saami, not that I know of, never experienced it. HEH.

Yes, let them have their fun and seek/find their own inner way through this fusion.


As far as I know the folktale site is quite accurate.

I should have mentioned, you are on target bringing up the owl.
I heard it hooting about 4 nights back.
So waiting to see what message the owl is bringing.

In these parts the owl is bringing a message of death.
I enjoy your telling that the owl brings a message from the Ancestors.:smile:

sentient quote

I have never knocked on a tree before, cutting.
I was taught communicate with it and explain what your doing
and why and offer tobacco or other gift.Give thanks for the taking of it's Life.
Then honor it's life and try not to waste the resource of the wood and use
as much of it as you can.:smile:

I did see a Sundance tree get painted and prayed for by all the Dancers present.
It was tapped with a ceremonial axe once first.I did not see if the head was stone/rock.
I think the tree was wrapped with colored cloth of the 6 directions before cutting.
The cloth may have been after cutting though.

We use a wood stick and drum with trees and sing.
Sometimes living trees but mostly dead trees for drumming.
2 sticks knocked together are common if you have no clappers or drum.

Or somebody, a friend or a relative who had/has passed away but has a message for you … can come as an owl (or other-dimensional owl) & then “shapeshift’ into a person so you can see who it is.
And then yous ‘talk’.

I thought this image gives one that ‘messenger’ vibe/feeling:

And most of the time owls are just owls.

There had been a discussion about owls before:

Cool,cool. LOL
Owls are owls.
I am not playing anything into it.
It will play out or it is what it is.
Cool either way.:cool:

I just thought the synchronicity was worth mentioning.
We may have connected on a wave length or two. LOL:smile:

Found this guy interesting.Ilarion or Larry Merculieff.

YES!!!!
“The Womb at the Centre of Universe is where we get our information”.

Hunter-gatherers still live within that Womb. (The Cosmic Womb, The Womb of Creation).
But (from my cultural perspective) one uses the Centre of this Womb, we live in like ”Echolocation” – to get answers or “reflections” to one’s questions :icon_rendeer:

I have had “Egypt” in my brain lately, because the “Ravine” "Earth Portal" thing with “Stone Guardians” looking on had/has this feel to it:

Although, from my cultural point of view – it is our ‘energy-fields’ that inform the whole-body-knowing .....
