I often work with The Dagda (the good God).
He is a celtic God of the Heavens and is the Father of the other Gods.
He is a God of life and death. He caries a club which on one end kills men and the other restores them to life.

When I was in the hospital in great pain I called to him and ask him to kill me or cure me I didn't care which. (I was mad.) He stood before me with great pity on his face. He sent the Goddess (Brighid?) to help me through the night. After that night I started getting better. In the morning the nurses sent the shrink in to see me. I guess that didn't understand Pagans and they thought I had gone insane. The shrink saw it as no different from a Christian talking to their god. |

As in spirit guide?
COYOTE
Coyote is subject of many American Indian stories, songs and ceremonies and if often referred to as the Trickster. Coyotes can adapt to almost any environment, but prefer the prairies and low foothills. They live in undergrounds dens or sometimes caves. Coyote is a survivor. Hunted to near extinction, coyote populations are slowly rebounding in areas where they are least threatened.
COYOTE MEDICINE
Coyotes usually mate for life. This favorable characteristic of Coyote reminds us to be loyal in all our relationships and especially those of a spiritual nature. Roaming from relationship to relationship, without direction or stability should be avoided.
Coyote is a cunning adversary. He sniffs the air and surrounding plants and stones looking for the scent of prey. Once a scent is located he stalks with great stealth and circles the area in which prey is located to understand possible escape routes and determine the best area suitable for an attack to take place. The spirit of coyote shows us ways to fully understand the circumstances surrounding situations in every day life and to develop reasonable plans to achieve our goals.
Coyotes slyly hunt small game and move very slowly into position before pouncing on their prey. Applying this lesson in life, we can learn patience and ways to move forward at the best possible times.
Coyotes are excellent teachers, providers and protectors of their families. They will go to extreme lengths to insure the safety and well-being of their offspring. Visions and dreams in which coyote spirit makes itself known may bear a message of duty and responsibility to ones family, community or employment.
Coyotes work well with its brothers and sisters to develop a strong community. Like the coyote we can work with others to get what we want in life. Followers of coyote medicine put other peoples needs before their own.
Coyote is always on the look out for traps set by both humans and other animals. They move cautiously through their environment ready in a flash to move out of dangers way. Thank the coyote spirit for showing you ways to avoid life's pitfalls.

I am torn between Kuan Yin and Bridgit. They are both such close friends of mine.

No, I am not one of 'the People, but I have studied the mythology.
One of the things I like most about the stories of the American Indian gods and goddesses is the fact that they embody such human emotions and foibles.

you might not be of "the people", but you are of 'the '.
It is what you are inside and your actions that makes the difference.
