The Vision Quest is a Native American rite of passage in which the participant connects with the spirit world and receives messages to guide them in their spiritual and life direction. This shamanic journey is a type of initiation that prepares a young person for adulthood and may be a catalyst for pursuing their life's mission. Always done alone in the wilderness and while fasting, messages may appear from their Guardian Spirit or their Spirit Animal in visions or dreams
The following is a dream poem from the Anishinaabeg people...
Dream Poem
with a large bird
above me
I am walking
in the sky
I entrust
myself
to one wind
my feathers
sailing
on the breeze
honoring your brave men
like them
believing in myself
I am like the spirit
waiting
in my lodge
making me very old
Jai Mata Di
