So this morning I asked the Ancestors and Spirit to help guide us through the weekend… the energy has been so up and down, in and out that I thought it would be interesting to see what they would have to offer. So the first card to present in the 7th place was the Moose!
I love the Moose they are so amazing, they carry themselves so majestically. Bringing to light the fact we all need to take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, our words our deeds. No one is making us do/say anything…we are the ones making our own choices of how to act and react. So Own it, take care in how we move through our moments in our lives. It is important to remember that as the energy of today swirls… be thoughtful in choices made.
The second card to fall into the 7th place was the Parrot! The Parrot continues to remind us we are setting examples for others to see as we interact with others and situations in our lives. It is a good thing if we take the higher road, respond in positives so that that flow of energy that is released by us generates a gentler and above all a smarter way of doing and saying things. So remember communication in all forms carries out into the surrounding world… so make it all count!
The third card that presented in the 7th place was the Badger! It is all about being strong in our convictions that positives manifest more positives. To allow ourselves to heal self and balance. That not one of us is exactly the same… and with that our differences should not keep us apart, but rather makes us stronger. Bringing balance by strengthening each others weaknesses.
That is why we all are important to the balance of the world… each holding together a common thread of humanity. So remember that as the energy tugs at making each of us a bit irritable…it will get better if we allow it to, the choice is up to us.
Moose expresses for us to regain love for ourselves and others by accepting each person’s differences as unique and part of the puzzle that is life. Without each other, we would have no purpose. It is time to lead by example, it is time to care for our great Mother Earth and all that dwells upon her, for we were merely lent Her resources, and given guardianship over Her… something we sorely forget.
Moose asks us why we do not understand why things are the way they are in the world today… for all we have to do is open our eyes to see. Then as Moose takes leave, it asks us all to accept responsibility for our role in it all and begin to assist in the healing of not only the planet but ourselves.
Moose what some view as gentle and cuddly are far from it! (Other than the stuffed toy ones that is!) They are true to themselves and set the example for their young. They are reminding us today to do just that, set the example… and instill in them the lessons and foundations that they need to have to move forward in life in a good and strong manner. We are responsible for each step and the chain reactions that we cause, no one else.
Our Elders and Ancestors have experienced much so we could be here… but not for us to hold onto the negatives they endured here as they walked among us, but rather so we would become stronger and wiser. Moose reminds us to remember the lessons so we do not have to relive them over and over again!
Moose reminds us of Life and the inner Strengths that each and everyone of us has deep down in our Soul’s. Moose is all about listening to our instinct and remaining in balance when using our strength, for sometimes situations call for gentle strength and at other times it calls on us to be fierce! They remind us to look to our Elders, our Wise ones in and around our Sacred Hoops for advice and perspective.
As large as Moose are they are still graceful in movement, stealth and quick when called for. That is a huge lesson for us to learn as we walk the Human. It isn’t always about being first, or always thinking that our way is the only way… it is about honoring and respecting all points of view and then choosing the most positive for you. Knowing our Soul’s true purpose is to walk in positives and experience life itself. Moose tells us to be proud of who we are as individuals and let no one tell you that you are less than.
Moose encourages us to be true to ourselves and who we are… Self Love is one of the hardest things to attain for many, so get your bootstraps, pull them up and walk proudly for who you are and remember it isn’t about ego, it isn’t about what others see in us… it is about balance and pride in the positives we are able to step forward in.
Parrot want us to remember is that actions, deeds, words are mimicked by those around you. What we often fail to remember is that we are responsible for setting the tone or mood for the world around us. If we are confident and pleasant… things will reflect that in our daily walks. If we are negative and bitter our world becomes shaded and chaotic… full of negatives that spread like a disease. So be mindful of the imprints we all leave on the world around us today, and be a more positive part of it not only for yourself but for others as well.
Parrot assists us in seeing that possibilities are endless as we walk the human. Sharing with us that we need to open ourselves up and communicate with the world around us. The Parrot teaches us to look at situations and opinions that are different than yours. It is all about hearing what we are listening to so that we may learn what we can accomplish, what we are capable of. To go outside of our boundaries of what we may right now consider normal. Because different, extraordinary may just be our New Normal!
Parrot brings us reminders about what is in the power of Father Sun and the healing energy that is offered. They share with us the understanding that will help balance and find harmony with all life around us. Aligning our Sacred Hoops with the pure joy and magic of all things possible.
Badger shows up reminding us that we all must trust in our abilities utilize them to take on challenges that show up in our journeys. It is time to step away from our hiding places we have created and show the world what we are made of. Remember what is important to us and who we are as unique individuals that have a place in this world.
The message Badger brings is loud and clear… walk your own path to the beat of your own drum. Have faith in yourself and your talents and abilities. Know that you handle any challenge that shows up. Who cares what others say. Come out from hiding and start taking names and numbers.
Aggressiveness and the willingness to fight for what you want in this life and that is what Badger has to teach us. Just how to temper it and apply the right kid of pressure when needed and when to make a stand. Badger teaches us to use our healing abilities to push forward in positives in life and to aggressively move the obstacles that are in our way even if we are the ones that have placed them there.
I am dedicated to Educating and sharing the lessons, teachings and culture I have been taught by my Elders and journey with the World. It is not enough merely to learn the ways of our Elders. We must honor those traditions by sharing and educating the World. Inspiring others …Inspiring our Youth. Through the Music… the Arts…the stories…
Blessings to you All,
