| Lady hanging
hair" was
a kindly forest spirit of the Tlingit and
Haida in south eastern
Alaska; they saw her in the long, hanging mossy
branches of the great cedars of the rain forest.
A protector of Indians
and other humans, Gyhldeptis was disturbed
by the activities
of Kaegyihl Depgeesk ("upside-down place"),
a tremendous whirlpool that devoured entire
ships of travelers. To break this power,
Gyhldeptis staged a huge feast and invited
all the coastal powers: the ice, the forest
fire, the wind, and others.
Magically feeding
them in her underwater Festival House,
Gyhldeptis convinced the forces that human
beings needed
more protection from Kaegyihl Depgeesk.
Thereupon, all the well-fed natural powers
set to work
rearranging the coast so that the whirlpool
was smoothed into a gentle river.
Gyhldeptis
glides into your life to tell you the way
to wholeness for
you now lies in synthesis.
It is time to
bring al the divergent parts, all the opposing
pieces, together into one whole you. At this
time in your life you may be engaged in
conflict or opposition. Now you must resolve
it and
create union. Perhaps you are dissipating
your energy, your life force, in too many
directions or have hundreds of irons in
the fire. This is the time to find the common
thread that will serve your needs in the
best way.
The Goddess says that by
learning to listen to all the different pieces,
all
the divergent parts of you (and this
can
include your family, community, partner),
you hear and give what is needed to create
wholeness.
Wholeness is created when
all the parts are honoured and listened
to, when all parts are brought together and
synthesized
into a whole. The greatest gifts to
the
whole
often lie in the most disparate pieces.
