Wow, what synchronicities there, Raeanne! Jamie and Danny did the Reconciliation Card together - how special is that? Jamie did a reading with the cards when he first got them and was apparently totally spooked as it was so spot on.
As a child, I used to make tiny stone circles with little paths leading to them, and my imaginary birds would dance in the paths to the central circle. I later found out that bora rings did have radiating paths. I also 'stumbled' across some Bora rings in outback Queensland, that were immense. Judging by their size above ground, they went down a bit. Maybe 3 - 4 foot tall. Through one of those synchronicities, I had one of Australia's leading rock art experts bid and win an auction.... I just HAD to enquire further. Areas in northern WA have immense stone circles, but there were none recorded around the area I was in. I did report the circles to the Aboriginal group there and I do suspect they were still being used in some capacity as there were a couple of housebricks placed in missing spots in some of the much smaller circles.
I have a large piece of sandstone from that time and area beside me at the pc (supposedly to absorb all that radiation, but it is beautiful and reminds me of that lovely place along the Warrego River.)
Another Koori syncronicity in my life was as a teenager, writing a story of a young Aboriginal girl who was taken from her family, the bush and placed in a large institution-like place. At that time, "the stolen generation" was not known... or talked about... certainly nothing to do with Aboriginal history and heritage that was beyond their lifestyle.... ("Blood on the Wattle" is an excellent book, gutwrenching tho.) I wept with the young girl as I wrote, as she jumped from the window to the trees below, her family beckoning her to come from within the mottled greens of the tree. It touched me deeply, and later as I learnt more, realised I may have keyed into ~something~ there. I have known several adult children of the stolen generation and the impact this has had on them is immeasureable.
Oh, and I will mention the sacred womens' initiation area I stayed in for a few weeks where many eery things happened. (Near Bowraville, north coast of NSW.) Place abounded in crystal and red-bellied snakes. Some nights you would hear chanting & stamping feet in the distance... it would seem to come up the hill then dwindle... certainly a time warp or something there. Compasses used to go awry and never point to the directions! I am not an"airy fairy" person, pretty down to earth actually.... I "love" experiences like these!
RedEarth, with your Aussie background, did you have any significant Koori or Dreaming (red earth spiritual) experiences as a child or later? Raeanne? (And your fave cards, do you have any?)
Blessings......

(and thankyou both for gently bringing me back to all this!!!!!!)
