The hero in
Crow Magic is a Native American Crow Shifter. The storywas inspired by a series of tales told by a
family friend, “Indian Dave”. Sitting around the bonfire as kids, he taught the spirituality side of the
gifted animal shifters. Even today when I see an animal, I wonder if it is a
shifter or not.
A couple
days ago a young hawk took a tumble in the fog while hunting in our wood. He found a quiet
perch to dry off and rest, allowing my son and I a rare opportunity for a
friendly visit. We approached him carefully and spoke to him in Chippewa. His
reaction surprised us as he calmed down and simply watched us. He gazed at us
as if settling in for conversation. At one point he showed curiosity regarding
my cell phone.
Hawks are
considered messengers. I asked “Gekek” (Chippewa for Hawk) if he had a message
for me. Words entered my mind. “You need to begin writing a Hawk Shifter
story.”
I told him
I would obligate his request.
After
several hours, he flew over my house with a call. What a blessing to have had
him for the day!
At time of blog post publishing: I currently have the first few chapters completed for Hawk's Honor.
