Episode Details

The story begins on St. Patrick’s Day, when I did a Celtic shamanic journey to connect with Merlin. Nearly three years ago, he first appeared in a meditation and told me I was embarking on a spritual adventure.

There’d be no map, no guide, and no goal. Just blind trust so I can learn to go with the flow. At the bottom of these show notes you can find links to other Spiritual Adventure Updates.

My Spiritual Adventure Continues

Let me tell you, it’s hard! I like a little direction. I don’t need a detailed itinerary, but a basic idea of where I’m headed? That’d be nice. But Spirit had other plans. I was told – No plan. Just try things. Trust the unfolding.

So, I did. I hosted full moon events, started an intuitive mastermind—nothing quite stuck. Still, I love creating and I keep going.

Then I found Sharon McErlane’s books and the Net of Light. Sharon channels the Great Council of the Grandmothers, and something clicked. Their mission resonated deeply – to raise the yin energy globally and restore the balance of masculine and feminine on the planet.

I’m from the generation that followed Gloria Steinem and was part of the second wave of women who flooded the corporate world in the ’80s. So, the idea of empowering women is part of my history and DNA.

Shamanic Journey with Merlin

Okay, back to Merlin. During the St. Patrick’s Day shamanic meditation, I stepped into a boat with no oars and let the current take me. Dolphins and small whales surfaced, nudging the boat forward which was fun!

Merlin had a message for me. He said I was doing well on my journey. He likened me to a meandering brook—not quite a river yet, still finding my way. He cautioned me not to push the river which means not to rush things.

“Let it come. You’ll become a river in time.” Classic Merlin, metaphorically fascinating and a bit vague.

Afterward, I looked up the meaning of this giant black hawk. The bird I saw is called a Great Black Hawk, symbolizing strength, transformation, divine connection, and higher perspective. It represents a call to trust my intuition and step into purpose.

Ancestors of the Land

Weeks later, I heard a story on a podcast about a man from Germany who came to the US and wanted to buy land in Arizona. He couldn’t afford it, but went to meditate on the land.

The spirits of the land came to him, saying they wanted someone who would honor it like him. A series of miracles followed, and he purchased the land!

Hearing this gave me full-body chills. That story fe
