Welcome to [info]celtic_shaman

I thought I would begin by a series of posts on power animals. Though the celtic mystery paths don't worship animals, they do however recognize the importance of animals on the shamanic path. They have characteristics which can teach about our primal selves as well as remind us that in all things we are connected to one another with no beginning and no ending.

I thought we'd start with the Bat. Bats have a sonar so they can travel and fly even with very poor eyesight. They are helpful to the enviroment as they keep the bug population down. Though small they accomplish much. They don't focus on the disadvantage of their size. They work in large groups and use their sonar not only to communicate with one another, but also as a way to "see".

Bat Magick can teach you to see with your mind's eye. In the grand universe we might feel very small, yet we are still a very important part of Nature and Life. Our possible disavantages can be overcome.
