Shapeshifters and Skin Walkers
Wisemen, shaman, and medicine men understand skin-walkers
These are usually quiet meditative types, not the biggest talkers.
People who can transform into bears, wolves, eagles and fox.
Men and women who self-hypnotize and live outside of society’s box.
Through dance, hunting rituals and songs they learn to let go.
Their egos do not hold them back, they are filled with a knowing glow.
The dancer becomes the spider, the eagle, the hummingbird, the catfish.
Shapeshifters transform into part or all of an animal as the skin-walkers wish.
When I shapeshift I feel the energy in my hands and they begin to spin.
Being a skin walker aka shapeshifter helps me to score my big win.
I am a badger some days, outgoing, personable, independent and bold.
Other times I am a bobcat, nocturnal, and keeper of all secrets gold.
