The hardship makes the medicine—some of the new age movements make you feel guilty for going through something with some fundamentalist religions saying that you are being punished or it’s your bad karma for being sick. The truth gets twisted, and we have religions and organizations manipulating that narrative. However, for Star Wolf, we came here to take on karma. We came here to take on the light and the dark of this planet. Much like the earthworm turning decay into hummus, we would not be here without the creatures like the earthworm. We also don’t advance just by meditation; we mainly need people to meditate with to get clear, clean up our own act, become authentic, and own and work with our own shadows. We came here in this earth to be fully embodied: heart, body, mind, soul, and spirit. We must be in it, be participating, and paying attention to what’s happening in the world.  Linda Star Wolf has been a vision­ary teacher and shamanic guide to thou­sands of people over the last 35 years.
