Exploring the old northern spiritual pathways,
... influenced by an indigenous mindset.

Also known as … Mike Tripp — photojournalist & scifi geek who also happens to be tracking his spiritual path in a very different and interesting wilderness.

Went from walking in the woods as a kid to a person lucky enough to originally taught by two elders with the Bear Tribe Medicine Society and a few members of the Aniyvwiya (Cherokee), Lakhota and Ojibewa peoples.

Found similarities within my own heritage and now follow an old Northern Europe nature-based spiritual pathways, influenced by “Turtle Island” … ie. teachings from the first peoples of this land.

Basically, a person exploring his druidic path, and how it connects with the natural world and spiritual realms who is tasked with carrying a sacred Pipe.

“There is more than one way to get
to where we need to go.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are related to all things, and all things are related to us."

~~~ Adapted from the Lakota’s “Mitákuye Oyásʼiŋ,” which means “We are all related.”

There *is* no good description of my path as it (like me) is a blend of Norse and Gaelic both, with a little bit of American first people’s influences, shared by elders, woven in.

Original teachings at the foundation of my walk come from a pair of teachers / elders, from Sun Bear’s Bear Tribe Medicine Society.

They taught me ways of respecting nature & Mother Earth as well as how to pray using a personal prayer Pipe.

This was followed by walks in life with others from the Lakhota, Aniyvwiya (Cherokee), Monocan, Ojibwe and others.

Over the next few decades, I began to drift from American first people’ inspired path to one looking toward the European tribes following an encounter with a Druid of Turtle Island that opened my eyes to similar paths around the world.
