Druidry together with Spirit Guides

Drawing inspiration from nature.   Living inwards Japan.  
The heed revealing itself to itself...
spiders together with stick bugs: the analogy of patience
Many foreigners overlook life lessons nosotros larn correct hither inwards Japan.  We exercise a lot of Western logic to deduce downward mutual sensical things similar when nosotros enquire materials similar " why Japanese, why?"  Or, why is beingness two-faced  a cultural characteristic of the country, together with how it's the Japanese affair to exercise here, without whatever shame or conviction....
Druidry is a spiritual path based on Nature.  The cognition nosotros accept tin displace last institute everywhere.  People are placed inwards our lives to exam us, to brand us amend people, together with thus nosotros seek from inside to empathise what nosotros must larn from the fakes together with snakes.  The peace from inside flows from exterior in, through a breeze, a flowing river, or when a salmon battles upwards current to lay its eggs.   
( "In the West nosotros derive mutual sense from our parents, society, Murphy's Law, biblical passages, divination, together with and thus on...")
It is said that....
Druidry is a spiritual path based inwards Nature. The cognition nosotros accept tin displace last institute everywhere. In Druidry, the Spider represents The Bard, the Ovate together with the Druid. As a Bard it produces plant of fine art equally depicted inwards the many kinds of webs it tin displace produce equally an Ovate seer, to decide the best spot for the spider web or hide-out for the hunt, together with the lessons the fauna teaches us shows us the Druid side of Spider lore, or equally some telephone telephone it, Spider Medicine. 
The appearance of the stick põrnikas is a reminder to last patient. We should move on what nosotros accept been doing, quietly camouflaging our endeavors. The stick põrnikas indicates results are coming, but nosotros must allow them to come upwards inwards their ain time. When nosotros do, nosotros volition last inwards a amend pose to pick out handgrip of them together with exercise them for our benefit. 
The stick põrnikas reminds us to focus on our ain activities together with ourselves. It is also an indication that meditation together with prayer volition pick out much greater results together with benefits now. There is something inwards the offing, but nosotros must last able to recognize it. This is where personal stillness--meditative together with altered states of quietness--come into play. There may fifty-fifty last signals of what is coming through the dream state. 
( “ white candles are for meditation together with purification”)  Light one....
Stick bugs are experts at camouflage. They concur still, keeping their legs together with bodies inwards a pose to resemble twigs. Their appearance is e'er a reminder to camouflage our intentions together with our activities. We should maintain them hidden beneath the surface. Most exercise their feeding at night, using the black to farther cloak their presence. Stick bugs also stay motionless some large animals, including humans, together with are rattling hard to detect. They remind us that for the greatest success inwards laying a rigid foundation for our endeavors, nosotros should exercise camouflage. We should non allow others know of our activities. Present the appearance that nix is happening, but fix quietly together with thoroughly for what nosotros seek to achieve together with nosotros volition discover ultimate success. 
The appetites of stickbugs are great, together with if their numbers are abundant enough, they tin displace defoliate trees together with bushes, particularly oak trees. (The significance of oak trees should last studied yesteryear anyone for whom the stick põrnikas appears.) Because of its appetite, when stick põrnikas appears, our appetites may last getting out of mitt together with may last becoming likewise public. We may last letting the incorrect people know of our goals together with endeavors. Stick bugs tin displace also warn of beingness likewise opened upwards together with likewise trusting. An onetime adage speaks of forcefulness through silence. Now is non a goodness fourth dimension to allow others know of your plans. Others may last undermining them or trying to pocket them for themselves. 
I analyze my dreams both waking together with deep slumber through recordings together with notes I maintain at my bed side, together with accept been doing this for years.  Through these recordings, I accept learned a tremendous total nearly myself together with the people I accept slept with over the years.  I predicted all of my breakups through my dream notes, together with what would drive them.  The heed never sleeps, for lies ask you lot to last awake inwards monastic enjoin to weave them.   The stickbug dream was profound.  
The other day, I came across a huge brownish spider on my wall with noticeable urticating hairs on it.   Perhaps the biggest spider I accept ever killed, the size of a small-scale dinner plate.  I did non hesitate non 1 time to smack it hard killing it instantly.   Maybe I should accept but captured it together with placed it exterior gently, similar a goodness Buddhist.   Not.   The spider teaches us to weave our ain destiny, to create our ain future, together with to write our ain legends.   Japanese cannot define our experiences for us here, but they tin displace either last a role of it, or not, makes picayune difference.   You brand your ain experiences hither together with discover inwards Nihon what you lot love, together with pursue it passionately.
I believe spirit guides come upwards inwards  many forms, non  blond haired together with blueish eyed messengers sent from God himself, for God is non  like a Japanese.   Who worships people who drib atomic bombs on them?  Is that supposed to brand sense?  Requires patience....you see...It all actually requires patience together with understanding.    
In Japan, at that spot are over 100,000 Shinto shrines!  The essence of nature worship is there, the beauty of the wooded gates, water, together with air.  It's all there...even when swell tragedy befalls you, nosotros displace with the water, the tides ebb & flow.   Life goes on.   The hurting of expiry together with birth, the newness of life.  Time heals all.   It's a beautiful procedure of life together with death.    The Japanese accept a reverence for nature, but uncommon mutual sense.    If they tin displace merge together with empathise the two, they would genuinely last on to something.
Expats who alive hither essay to exercise mutual sense to brand sense out of uncommon mutual sense here.  You but acquire with it.  You know the drill.   Same chit unlike generation.   Stop trying to alter the unchangeable.  You know you lot dearest the ancient teachings.  You know what it feels similar to last here, inwards the motion-picture exhibit standing amongst  giant pines together with oaks.    Spirit guides be everywhere, fifty-fifty inwards Japan.
