This painting reflects the honour I see in the guardianship of the Wolf Clan; the instinctual force of the protection and safeguarding of the community spirit. There are many forces of self-will that aim to separate our selves from one another, from our families, and from the sacredness of our environment.

The process of creating this work of art was and is my way of thanking the unifying power of the spirit - that we are all one in spirit - and to express our gratitude for that which even protects us from ourselves.

The thunderbird is a sacred spiritual bird representing the protection and guardianship of the realms of the spirit. Thunderbird has many characteristics of medicine which enable this totem to perform spiritual powers. The main understandings are that the Thunderbird is a manitou, a demi-god. This powerful bird patrols the sub-stratosphere and offers guidance and protection in this part of the skies. Thunderbirds have a very powerful connection to the lightening and thunder. These particular aspects of creation are medicines to all associated with the Thunderbird clan.

Spirits travel through the lightening in and through the realms of the physical and spiritual dimensions. The Thunder energy represents the power of the water element, bringing the cleansing powers of the rains through storms. The lightening represents the purification powers of the fire element, that the ways of the spirit shall illuminate one's life and path.

When the sign of Thunderbird shows up in our lives, it signifies great change in how we many see our reality, a shift in perceptions and experiences. The Thunderbirds are guardians of the 4 cycles of life, that of birth, life, death and rebirth. There are many interpretations of the different legends associated with Thunderbird, that being the most common battle between Thunderbird and the water serpent, [battle between good and evil]. I am grateful for the medicinal powers of the great Thunderbird clan, and all my relations who are associated with this totem, we have a great responsibility to the common good of mankind, creation, and our loving and Great Creator.

Universal revelations are taking place in abundance upon terra-earth. The planet is in an energy transition of revolutionary proportions. The spiritual symbolism of "star designs" of authentic "crop circles" are being created weekly, even nightly, all over the earth. Many hundreds of thousands of people are witnessing first hand accounts of "strange lights" in the sky. These revelations by the visitors are traveling in and through light, using quantum physics to materialize and de-materialize throughout earth's atmosphere.

The basic tenets of Shamanism and what is more widely known as Cosmic Consciousness is rising to the forefront of human understanding like never before in the history of our planet. The cultural ancestors of all tribes upon terra-earth have always made reference to the Star Nation. I call them the Wingmakers - a divine multitude of light travelers that operate in very advanced technologies. They carry with them a message, one that speaks to the very fabric of human soul consciousness. That this universe is vast and that we are cosmically connected to all that is.

This painting reflects the soul's journey between one who teaches and one who is the student. All along our travels in life, there are many who appear in our lives, to teach us something from their experience, or we are to share with them our experience. It is the balance of this force in our own lives, and in the lives of others, that brings the results of awareness, understanding, knowledge, and wisdom; to inspire each other, to guide one another from one generation to another.
