Comments on: Spirit Orb Photographed in the Redwoods? http://theordinarymystic.com/blog/spirit-orb-photographed-in-the-redwoods/ Opening doors to consciousness, spirituality, and the awakening Thu, 10 May 2012 04:12:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Shauneen http://theordinarymystic.com/blog/spirit-orb-photographed-in-the-redwoods/#comment-71972 Shauneen Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:04:27 +0000 http://theordinarymystic.com/blog/2007/05/01/spirit-orb-photographed-in-the-redwoods/#comment-71972 On the 10th August my cousin committed suicide, it was highly unexpected and saddening for the whole family. However, on the 18th August my cousin (his younger brother) and I went out to celebrate passing our AS levels and to attempt to lift his spirits a little after what had happened. It wasn't until I printed out my photos from results night that I noticed one of these orbs positioned on my cousin's shoulder. When I looked through my other photographs I saw no other markings like this on any of them. We were in a club therefore there was no water, pollen or dust. I accept that this may have just been a camera fluke however I believe in my heart that there is more to it than that. I think that it is more than a simple coincidence after what had happened a week prior and the one photograh with a family member had a spirit ball in it.

Thanks for sharing it, Northern Spirit. This is the main reason why I believe that these orbs are more than just light reflecting off dust - they seem to appear more frequently at times and places where you might expect some kind of paranormal phenomenon. Oftentimes, they even appear on command. Wow, what a moving story. Thanks for sharing it, Northern Spirit.

Well over a hundred years ago and after contact with the early Europeans, thousands of B.C aboriginals were wiped out by Smallpox having no immunity to a foreign disease. As this story goes.. hundreds of Northern peoples were traveling by canoe on their way to their village in the north. They were sick and weakened by the disease and stopped at a southern village to ask for permission to set up camp on an island in their territory, until they'd healed.. the tragedy is that they were unaware that they would sadly never leave that island and succumbed to the disease. The inspirational part of this story that is really touching is that recently, a well know carver from this southern B.C village thought that it was necessary to honor these peoples who had died so far away from their homeland. He carved several traditional masks and burned them in a fire in respect and as an offering to these spirits. The photo's that my friend took was in the big house of that southern village( Alert Bay) and the orbs or spirit balls that appeared throughout the photographs ...well,I guess you could say that the ancestors were present and quite honored.

I had never ever heard of them before and so I decided to do a search and came across this interesting article. If you take a closer look at the photograph here with a magnifying glass there are other interesting things that appear in the tree just behind Cris and to the left of his head. I can see many little faces. I'm one of those people that love to look for faces in rock formations. clouds etc. Just wanted to point that out. Back to my friends photo's..I was amazed as there were many orbs throughout her photographs of an aboriginal ceremony to honor what our people call the ancestors. It was really amazing. I was never aware of orbs or spirit balls until this past week as my niece pointed one out in a photo of my dad's birthday. It was a difficult celebration for him as my mother passed away in May of this year and in the photo we can see an orb in the background on the wall behind him. So in a matter of a few days I have been drawn to the awareness of spirit balls. I find that really interesting.
