E-Bay SHAMan/Donna Devane AKA LyonZpath AKA Earth Mother Selfheal

[bonestyx]

Poking around on e-Bay, I found this woman who seems to be making and selling a lot of "Medicine Woman Shaman Feathers":

Here's her outside website:

Her Author's Den profile:

Including a fabulous photo:

My favorite quote:

The Path of the Lion is one of solitude and family.

Uh-huh. Sure thing, Azlan. Who let you out of the wardrobe?

[Al's note: Retitled thread to include her name and pseudonymns.]

Looks like a dreamcatcher with pheasant feathers. Can't find that she claims a Nation, or Tribe. Her "Native American Skull Mask" I guess is suppose to be a buffalo? with pheasant feathers. I notice she put Native American Style on that one. Mostly looks like nuage.

What doesn' t she sell? Lots of stones, dolls, CDs, feng shui, kundalini, even defragmenting your hard drive.

The strangest has to be her Make a Difference Doll. Look at the photo.

"My body is pecan wood.. a tree that produces fruit plentiful for All Relations.. it speaks of the provision already in place by Creator.

My clothes are leather.. offered by your Bovine brothers and sisters.. as they offer themselves for food and clothing. Honor them, give thanks for their gifts.

My fan is Turkey feather.. the Give a Way bird.. he offers himself as food and decoration, knowing that life is eternal and he lives on in the gift of life offered to you and the feathers you wear to celebrate life. Green aventurine stones decorate my fan.. a stone of prosperity and abundance.

I carry a Dream catcher wtih crystal and beaded spider. Remember that you weave your life one thread, one decision at a time.. and just like Grandmother Spider you are always free to snip the threads and weave again.

My medicine bag is leather, ready for you to place a favorite stone or desire inside.

My necklace is beaded corn.. representing abundance of food and a steady supply.

My shawl is woven with beads throughout.. each bead holds a prayer to Great Spirit, acknowledging the many gifts of life.. gratefullness for all Blessings. It is further decorated with wood beads, stone rings and other beautiful items.

My face is clay with gemstones, glass beads and feathers. The dark feathers are Emu, a bird which makes a powerful drumming sound to keep you in touch with the Earth Mother."

And this one manages to mangle together several tribes's beliefs:

"Buffalo Healing Woman
Shaman Spirit Totem Doll
Native Americana Indian Kachina
I am Buffalo Healing Woman, "She Who Brings Wholeness".

I bring not only healing of the body, soul and emotions.. but Wholeness, that state in which you were created and are held even now by Creator.

My robes are white bunny, soft, gentle and loving.

I am draped in white leather, fringed with the healing energy of Emu feathers.  Listen carefully and you will hear the drumming of the female Emu, taking you into the heart beat of the Earth Mother.

My fans are Emu, leather and accented with the heart stone, Rose Quartz.

My staff is bone, fringed white leather wrapped with copper and Rose Quartz. 

My Friend, Little White Buffalo Comes with me along with a healing quartz crystal to teach you the forgotten secrets of healing self by remembering Who You Are."

Her Just Being Me Gypsy Doll probably would offend actual Romany people. It looks like a racist caricature.

It seems like she's out to appropriate or offend wiccan/pagan belief too.

I have been a certified GIYAME healer for many  years.  GIYAME stands for  "God Goddess In You And Me", based on the premise that we are divine and created perfect.  It offers opportunity to cooperate with Universal Energy flowing through us. The Stones and Crystals  Remind us, Awaken us; to our own perfection; our Divinity. GIYAME is a shamanistic form of healing encorporating light energy, intention, rattles, drums etc. in the healing ritual.

Reading through her site...it looks like she needs to be certified alright....lol
