I am a shapeshifter. I have a moon in my third eye. No, it is not the size of peanut. It the size of a milk dud. I do not have a spirit animal. I see all animals. I am one with Daath, Mother Earth.

I have a mental illness, it is called Schizoaffective Disorder. Schizo, means when something has a split down the middle, (check out the OSHO oracle card, ‘Schizophrenia’, 2 of clouds, Zen Tarot). This image portrays what we feel like as Schizo patients, whether it is Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective - Depressive Type, or Schizoaffective - Bipolar Type. We are here. We speak for the gap in the human consciousness. We are your spirit warriors. We are the Bhodisatvas of the Western World. We live, we see, we fight, we survive, and we bear the burden of all y'all. 

So, my mission, as a writer, and a mental health advocate, is to educate the human race on what this feels and looks like. (Thank you, OSHO, and the artist who drew this image that describes schizo tendencies so well.) Speaking of Art, and describing my experience within the journalistic properties of painting, this hobby helped me immensely on my journey to basic health. Using colors, and abstraction, to describe my inner experience, allowed me to put voice to my visions, and to learn that I do have the skill of Sight. This is what the third eye is for.

Similar the the Vampire, which I believe is an ancient myth describing co-dependency, and how we suck the life out of fellow humans with ESP, clairvoyance, and clairsentience; in an actually evil and destructive manner, the werewolf, on the other hand, is a myth describing beauty and positivity, that explores sacrifice, and the act of seeing through the eye of animal Frey, and thus helping to bridge the gap between the human and animal worlds. Did we forget we were animals? 

And then, once we transition, lift the veil, become transparent, and allow the animal kingdom have a voice, we approach the Kingdom of the They, who know the language of the Trees, Plants, Rocks, Organisms, Dimensions, and Alien worlds, which are very much alive, and exist here with us always. They have Identity, Voice, Language, History and Knowledge.

I believe, that this is the healing power of the Werewolf, and perhaps, once again we find that there is wisdom, requisite, ancient knowledge, story, and crucial direction to be found in the fairy tales, myths, and nightmares that exist with us still, today.
