Ancient Symbols, Modern Guides for the New Year

Ancient Symbols, Modern Guides 3:00pm to 4:30pm $20 tuition In this lecture we will consider a number of ancient symbols left behind by the ancestors of this land. The purpose of this exploration is to tap into the deeper meanings of petroglyphs, geoglyphs, story hides, etc. in order to expand our connection to the spirit world but with the Earth Mother through ceremony. These can be traditional ceremonies or personal ceremonies you create for yourself. There will be discussion of how ritual, then ceremony evolved through the use of glyphs. http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/8/3/9/600_445894873.jpeg If you intend to create Medicine Shields, paint your hand drum, or otherwise use these artifacts in respectful ways, this talk will be of particular interest to you. http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/8/5/5/600_445894901.jpeg Rick McBride is mixedblood Tsalagi (Cherokee) who has walked the Red Road for over 30 years.
