KNOCKIN ON HEAVENS DOOR
Hospitals are SCARY places. No one goes to a hospital for a vacation. I went to the Emergency Room after I had been sick for the better part of a month. I was not able to eat any solid food and even liquids would not stay down for long. I was also having severe abdominal cramping with nausea and all the fun things that go with it.
Needless to say, I was very sick. I was admitted to the hospital that night and met with a Surgeon the next morning. In preparation for surgery my sister took all my jewelry home with her. The only things I still had with me were my eyeglasses and a small tablet. I have worn a silver ring with my spirit guide, a Wolf, for 20 + years. After I took it off, I began noticing more "things" . I could almost see people and shapes that couldn't be there.
WHAT IS A TALISMAN?
I am now convinced that my ring had become a powerful talisman, shielding me from many supernatural experiences. I am not sure how this happened. I have never had this ring blessed by a priest or shaman and as far as I know the ring itself is just a ring. I might have expected a crucifix, Saint Christopher medal or even a Native Medicine Bag to have this effect.
I am beginning to think that the power of talismans come from within us not from any powers outside of us. It seems to be based more on what you BELIEVE . So if you believe that the blessings from the Priest or Shaman have power then they will. I know that I slept better after after I got my ring back.
