Me.
About Ash:
I’ve been a wanderer, a hermit, the crazy lady who lived with wolves, the “witch of the wildwood”, an herbalist, naturalist, organic farmer, shepherdess (yes, you CAN still be a shepherdess), online entrepreneur… a lover of canines, wild & domestic… a mother to two beautiful & talented daughters… a friend, a seeker of wisdom… and now I’m slowly learning to accept the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme Disease, etc. that’s been besieging my body for over 11 years.
What we see often...
I live in a cabin on a mountain in Virginia with my daughter and Kasha-dog and Dusty- cat. I’m very into nature spirituality, loving the Earth My Mother, believing in the spirits that reside in all things, traveling to the spirit world and communing with the spirits of animals, the departed, and the One, the Creator.
The Mist...
About Wolfdreams…
Blogs are for many things.
This blog started solely to keep my family up to date on all the many, varied, crazy, things happening with my health. So they could keep it all straight. So I could remember what thing happened when. A record of illness.
But that’s wrong. That’s not all a blog is, or should be.
A blog is a voice, the inner voice, telling, in this case, what is going on, inside and out. And in me, that means it should also be about my spiritual path. My spiritual life is as important to me as breathing. Without connection with the One, what is life? What is it for?
And then there's this...
Wolfdreams is not just about the physical crap I go through, but also about the Life I live, the inner life, and the outer life.
Some of you will not understand my postings of a spiritual nature. My Path is a little different from yours, perhaps. It wanders through Native American Spirituality, through the ancient, but not forgotten, ways of my Celtic ancestors. It is My path – we all have one to call our own, and each and every one is different.
But that doesn’t make any of them wrong.
Spokes on a wheel, all leading to the Center, the One, to God, or Goddess, or whatever you wish to call that great and mysterious Spirit that moves through all things.
What beautiful photos. I’m so sorry you are sick. I like your blog!
Hi Ash,
I wanted to express my gratitude again that you read my poem about my sweet girl. Thank you. I enjoyed reading it again too.
Michelle.
I loved what you wrote Michelle – it’s good to find someone else who has the same bond with their pups as I do. A lot of people just don’t get it!
(and your new pup is a real cutie, too!)
Many blessing to you & wishes for peace -
Ash
Just wanted to say hi to you today. I hope your day goes well and the weather is pretty up there.
Also wanted you to know I added you as a link on my sidebar. Hope you don’t mind. I copied and pasted your words to describe your blog. If you want me to change it I will.
Have a blessed day Wolfdreams!
I’m very honored you included me – thank you!
I’ve been meaning to ask you if it was okay to list your blog on my sidebar – as much for me as anything as it makes it easier to read the blogs I want to read while on my phone.
The weather here on the mountain has been gorgeous this week, and I’ve been trying to relish every second of it! That’s been made a bit difficult by the havoc raised in my body from the cortisone shot – I’ve had the most awful yeast (candida) flare in years, and though I’m slowly killing them off, they’re toxic as they die. I’ve been feeling very crappy
Hopefully over the next couple days I’ll start to pull out of this…
Many hugs & blessings to you & your four-legged friends!
Just saw that you had called by my Blog. I’m honoured to have your visit. By magic, I’m writing a post for tomorrow which, if you can call by then, will resonate with this extract from above, “A blog is a voice, the inner voice, telling, in this case, what is going on, inside and out. And in me, that means it should also be about my spiritual path. My spiritual life is as important to me as breathing. Without connection with the One, what is life? What is it for?”
Blessings to you, Paul
I will definitely stop by to read it! I read through four or five of your posts and liked them a great deal, and love the name of your blog. Dogs have so much to teach us, don’t they?
Many blessings to you, too,
Ash
Merry Christmas Ash. I haven’t checked FB, so am not sure how you are. It’s been kind of challenging for me, esp., beginning last night, as if a wave of darkeness sort of fell upon me. I thought of you on your mountain top, and wished I could come visit. I nearly called. I hope you are okay.
I nominated your blog for the Versatile blogger award. I know how hard it can be to accept one, as I did not ’til two months after first awarded. Just check my blog and you’ll see. I tried to link to you, but never know what I’m doing that way.
With wishes of love and peace, your friend, Michelle. xoxoxo
Hello my sister! I am up late and almost falling asleep, but wanted to say thank you so much for your awesome FB message. I love what you said, and was moved to tell you here, since I just saw your link come up on my blog. Hoping you are warm and cozy as I write. Big hugs… xoxoxo
Many hugs, sweet one! Take care of yourself ~ for me.
Hope to see you up here some day. Show you my mountain. And give you many many hugs!
*gentle hugs*
Many blessings~
Ash
