Also known as … Mike Tripp — photojournalist & scifi geek who also happens to be tracking his spiritual path in a very different and interesting wilderness.
Went from walking in the woods as a kid to a person lucky enough to originally taught by two elders with the Bear Tribe Medicine Society and a few members of the Aniyvwiya (Cherokee), Lakhota and Ojibewa peoples.
Found similarities within my own heritage and now follow an old Northern Europe nature-based spiritual pathways, influenced by “Turtle Island” … ie. teachings from the first peoples of this land.
Basically, a Norse-Albionic American Druid … a Druid of Turtle Island … exploring his animistic path, and how it connects with the natural world and spiritual realms who is tasked with carrying a sacred Pipe.
“There is more than one way to get
to where we need to go.”
