Tobacco Spirit

The vision of him came to me on a sparklingly magical New Years Eve of 2008.
I was in the forest behind my house. On this night, I did a long healing ceremony for the entire world. In the course of this ceremony I worked with the tobacco spirit and some other teacher plants.

It was very cold, just after midnight, and about 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 Celsius), so I said my prayers as I walked through the woods to keep my blood moving. The snow was piled high on the branches. As I walked, I realized that there are so many things woven into and in between the fabric of all things. I saw a multitude of creatures and spirits within and surrounding these piles of snow. They all beamed their love into me. They are all beaming their love into all of us all the time. It was awe inspiring, stunningly beautiful. I felt so sublimely blessed to have the capacity to see and know such beauty. (In this image, the space around Tobacco Spirit’s head is my attempt to represent these beings)

The vision of Tobacco Spirit stayed in my head for about 7 months. He kept poking at me to create him until I came across the term “Move everything from your “To-Do” list to your calendar (Thank You Jack Canfield!), and I moved him to a certain date and he finally came out of me. It was a difficult birth, but in the end I am very happy with the representation. He is also very happy.

He wants to be available to more than one person, so I have made Giclee and Ink jet prints available also.

More about me and tobacco… I began smoking when I was around 16. I never smoked a lot, but it became too expensive about 15 years ago and I had quit. Like many ex-smokers, I could no longer stand the taste or smell of tobacco. When I went to Peru in early 2008, to work with and learn from indigenous shamans, I realized that it was a kind of prerequisite to utilize tobacco while practicing there. It is an important part of the work. You smoke (but do not inhale) “mapachos” which are like very strong, unfiltered cigarettes. As I have done healing work on people with these, they say they usually don’t like tobacco smell, but they like the smell of these.

It was very difficult to make friends with Tobacco again, but I did, and as I continue to work with him I find him so amazing. The Tobacco Spirit has truly helped me so much in the course of many ceremonies in Peru and since I have returned. Now it is time for him to help you.

Tobacco has been used by a multitude of societies throughout history for offerings and ceremony. Trees and plants love it when you make an offering to them by sprinkling some around their feet.

Tobacco Spirit will be helpful to you in so many ways. He says that he will be helpful to those who are addicted to nicotine and trying to quit. Here is your opportunity to allow him to help you and show how much you value him by purchasing a print or the original.
