Spiritual and Totem Card of the Day the Red Tail Hawk


Today the Red Tail Hawk is the card to flip over, and brings with it a message that we need to open our wings and remember to soar to new heights! Stop limiting and putting ourselves in boxes unable to attain the things we want and desire. We need to learn to push ourselves more and understand that things worth having and doing take work.

Red Tail Hawk also screeches out that we are not supposed to do things, be who we are in order to fit others expectations and needs… we are here to experience this journey, this amazing walk called life with all it’s ups and downs… as we maneuver the obstacles, the rewards, all the beauty that lies all around us. This is to feed our soul.. no one elses.  No one can make us happy… we have to allow that ourselves!

Red Tail Hawk shows up to help us understand the meaning in ordinary experiences if open and become aware of our surroundings. The Red Tail Hawk is awakening our souls so that we may begin the journey of our spirituality, preparing us for those Life Lessons that will soon show up.

Red Tail Hawks are messengers of the between, sharing insights and knowledge extended to us from the Ancestors and the world of Spirit. They speak to us of looking from a different vantage point and thus giving us a broader view of any given situation, helping us to not only be aware that a message awaits us, but also helping us to understand those messages.

Red Tailed Hawks are sacred and as they enter our presence, we must honor them by opening our minds and keeping them sharp while we look for wisdom and answers as we walk the human.

The Red Tailed Hawk’s red tail feathers distinguish it from other hawks, and remember that it does not receive their red feathers until at a later point in life after it has matured and experienced life around it. These feathers must be earned. The color Red represents Power and Energy that will lie dormant until it is awakened by our Souls as they walk and journey life and honor its own Sacred Hoop.

“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing the culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach 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…”
Many Blessings to ya’ll

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Rabbit


Rabbit shows up in the cards today to remind us although we should not feed our fears they should be lessons in motivation … of things to overcome and obstacles to push through or to be smart enough to figure out how to go around. I actually chuckled a bit this morning cause it seems to be that Spirit is reminding us about the holiday we just had over the weekend of Easter!.. Again yesterday the Dove… today the Rabbit… so get hopping (Pun intended ) and get ‘er done. You all have the tools to do whatever it is that is on the plate today… we simply need to believe in ourselves to do it!

Rabbit reminds us all to remember we need to nurture ourselves in order to allow our Spiritual growth to occur. It shares with us that we have all the tools needed inside of us if we just stop for a moment to collect ourselves and reach into that toolkit we all carry. By stopping for that moment and listening to that inner voice, it will give us a chance to strengthen our plans that are in motion, or review the ones we are contemplating.

Rabbit tells us not to be so quick to jump to conclusions, rather look at the larger picture and then move quickly as your instinct guides you rather than allowing fear to move you forward. Pursue your dreams, your goals with a little more adaptability, network with friends and family to help you get the results that are desired.

They also represent fertility, but of course it is up to us to make sure that that fertility shows up as positives such as creativeness, happiness, success and not negatives that we hold onto that eventually turn into fear, anger, bitterness, depression, illnesses.

Rabbit teaches that defending ourselves doesn’t always mean fighting back; it can also be accomplished by listening to what is happening in and around our Sacred Hoops and then using our intuition for the best possible outcome.

Rabbit has a short life so it also reminds us to take advantage of every waking moment for all life is Sacred. Don’t get stuck on the little things in life or life around you will pass by in a blink of an eye and you will have missed the journey.

 


I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach 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 of the Day to you All,

Spiritual and Totem insights for the Day – the Dove


So as I began to shuffle the deck this day… out flew a card directly to the desktop and I thought how fitting the day after Easter…The Dove!  Everything for a purpose it whispered softly to my ears. Gently as we walk into our week we must honor the Great Mother Earth and be thankful for all we have to share with her. We need to but allow the peace that is and can be attained into our hearts and let it spread like a wildfire to the Life Circle around us.

Everyone is searching, asking for this peace…this calm to be part of their lives, yet so many are ignoring it as it passes them by. Instead creating the chaos and hatred that spreads like a black mold covering deep and dark crevices of the world. Why is that? Why is it that as humans we are at a time that we are not willing to accept each other at face value? With tolerance, with compassion, with kindness? It is so sad when we each have the ability to change the world’s atmosphere to something so good. It is up to each of us to help perpetuate that change… to allow the peace to enter our very souls and summon the goodness that we each have inside to shine for all to see as examples of positives in an extremely negative world.

So we ask ourselves what can I do? I am but one person… if we are truly honest, we each can do a lot.

Dove teaches us when it is time to soar to new heights by using the element of air, “the wind beneath your wings”. That we must trust in the Universe, in Creator God for they are there supporting us, assisting us, but they will not choose or do the work for us. That nothing will prevent us from attaining our goals except ourselves. So we need to Trust and have Faith in all that is Sacred has purpose, has reason.

Dove reminds us to stop and breathe in the 7 Sacred breathes, letting go of the inner storms that are stirring and tap into the inner peace that can be found deep in our very souls. That what we are seeing is the chaos of the storm, and that after the storm is calm and beauty, for what we are seeking to attain is attainable and will be if we stay strong and show patience with the situation. They also represent peaceful resolutions can be found. They also represent travel time is approaching, perhaps in meditative state or in a physical sense.

Many Blessings to You ALl…

May the Divine Spirit reach You and fill your being with Love and Joy of the Day…

Spiritual and Totem Insight for the Day – the Emu


Emu… one of my Favorite cards… I love this animal as they are so crazy and unpredictable at times… they can turn on a flip of a dime as my Father used to say!..And today is no different, they are here to tell you don’t let emotions take hold and run you today. Remain calm and objective before running headlong into trouble.

Sometimes it is fun to be able to look people square in the eye and say you were right, but today is not that day! Stand to fight/speak another day. The energy is too clouded today to do such a thing. Be wary of the chaos in the world … do not become a sheeple that is easily led to follow blindly. Get your head out of the ground and observe today. Perhaps even take time to feed your soul some positives strengthening the real person you are meant to be!

Emu is telling us that today it is time to protect our energies from outside negative psychic or spiritual invasions (i.e. attacks). It is time to step into your spiritual armor and understand that this can and does happen. As we gain more and more spiritual insights, and our practices and routines become stronger… the inner light, inner strength and power becomes more obvious to others. Thus attracting attention and sometimes it is unwanted attention. So it is now time to clean your Sacred Hoops and set protection around it.

Emu tells us that most of the time that acknowledging and understanding these negative energies for what they are and then releasing them with love will most of the time, set them apart from us and release them back to the Universe for recycling. Emu teaches us that the knowledge we gather as we walk is now set to be put in place and utilized. Make sure though that first you take time to completely understand the scopes of that information before stepping into it, otherwise it may be like trying to drive a car without first learning how it works.

Emu helps us to stand in our power when we need to and when we need to go unseen and watch as things unfold around us. Making sure we see things clearly and are not hiding from the reality of our lives. They will remind us to drum thus grounding ourselves in the process and enabling us to tap into the spiritual realms with more ease. So today is the day…take your heads out of the sand and pay attention to what is real and what is illusion. AND REMEMBER, that just because you may not understand something or think it possible does not mean that it is not real…

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day – the Black Swan


Love this card, it is all about getting in tune with the Yin and Yang of the world! The Black Swan comes out to play today with the message to expect the unexpected! Don’t be scared of it, just learn to roll with it. Life isn’t always what it seems and sometimes we have to look beyond the surface to find the true beauty and meaning of things. And that is okay so stop hiding in the Shadows of Life…All to often we simply see what we want to see or what we see at first glance as truth, when if we took a beat to slow down, to look beyond… we’d be able to balance everything a little better.

So today… look beyond the obvious…and balance your souls with Truth, Honesty and humbleness.

The Black Swan shows itself to us to teach us some hard yet loving lessons. Time to go deep, touching that dark side that resides inside us all. To honor that we always don’t want to be good, to walk in light 100% of the time. We need to understand it, balance it and honor it for it assists us when we come face to face with it and have to deal with it in a healthy manner.

The Black Swan brings us from the shadows to tell you that we all are unique and different, and sometimes it is that uniqueness that makes us stand apart from others. So today is the day to shine and let people see the different in you but in positives, in healthy ways, productive ways. So Today… stand in Sacred, stand in Beauty!

Card of the Day – Black Swan
The Black Swan represents mystery and the unknown. It represents something that is alluring, perhaps even forbidden. They remind us that there are two sides to all things, the Yin and Yang, black and white, polar opposites. They remind us to remember to know that dark side in order to balance the light within.

Black Swans help us to hone and strengthen our intuitive abilities and altered states of awareness. Bringing with them knowledge of new ways of thinking, breathing and teaching us to move with the flow of life for there is reason behind that flow.

Wherever the Black Swan appears expect unexpected and unpredictable and be prepared for what will follow. The Black Swan does not mean good or bad, it is about paying attention as events unfold… events that seldom occur or have never occurred in our life prior.

They bring in the subtleties of life to our attention. Causing us to use the intuition we have to better understand our feelings and process them in a healthy way. The Swan itself teaches us grace through movement and longevity through inner knowledge. They remind us to look at the beauty of life, even in the darkness to see that ALL life is indeed Sacred.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day – the Horse


The Horse card is the 7th flipped over this morning and shares with us that we ALL need to be more aware of when we are boxing ourselves into situations and when we need to actually stay in and rest our souls. Horse is all about the freedom to choose, but in order to do so we also must be aware of the consequences and the reason we make the decisions that we do. It is time to take a beat to reflect on what is the truth in the matters at hand, and if that means we need to step out into the open and allow our personalities… our path/journey to be the most important in the room… so be it. However if that little voice inside is saying stay and be silent to get a better understanding of things…then you best do that for we are hearing it for a very good reason.

Horse brings with it the joy of wide open spaces and the ability to move freely about. It shares that it is time to open the barn doors and venture out into the world to experience what the Universe is offering for all of us if we are willing to open to it in positive ways. They help to guide us swiftly and sure footed to the next part of the path we are to reach.

However in doing so Horse also shares that the herd is important. The ones that are within our Sacred Hoop…family…friends… that they are there to assist us as we move forward and not stay in the old ways, with things that need to be let loose. Mend fences and move forward with everything, but truly mend them do not just go through the motions, for if you don’t take the time needed you will loose the positives that are part of that same Sacred Hoop.

Horse tells us to awaken our souls and honor our true self, our true dreams and aspirations. Feel the wind, feel the earth beneath you, feel the sun share its warmth and energy, feel the water as it nourishes and cleanses. Allow your senses to be in a place of all that is Sacred.

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.

Spiritual and Totem Insights of the Day – White Buffalo


Today I didn’t even get to finish the shuffle of the Deck… the White Buffalo rose to the occasion and dropped on the table. So I will honor it and share the message. So many have lost their way, so many have lost Respect and Honor… it has been replaced with Greed and Ego. The Ancestors are restless and raising their vibrations so that they will perhaps reach the souls of those that were taught and imprinted a lifetime ago.

White Buffalo brings with it the Ancestors that speak to us reminding us it is time to open ourselves to what should be, not what Greed is directing it to be, Not what Ego’s are directing us to. It is a time to rise above it all, as the Ancestors that walked this Earth before us were taught….so it is up to us to remember. Wisdom… Honesty… Truth…Respect…Humility…Courage and Love. It is Time to restore the Faith we have in Human. It is time to reconnect to teachings of Old. It is time to embrace All that is Sacred and look closer to the things we feed our souls with. It is Time once again to walk in Balance of Light and Shadow…

White Buffalo shares with us that it is time to honor all that is sacred in and around us. It is about the power of Prayer. It is time to feed our souls, our spirituality. That in order to allow abundance into our lives we must walk the Sacred Path, but also be open to the fact that all life, all that has been shared with us no matter how small …how large, is Sacred.

The White Buffalo is connected to the teachings of the original people, the things that often are forgotten by us in this modern day world that is filled with material and greed. The White Buffalo warns us and gently nudges to remind us that we must not forget to be grateful, thankful, and take care of our Sacred Hoops.

To talk to the Universe and God Creator often, to share with others the simple positive things such as prayer, ritual, ceremony, traditions. To slow down so that we do not forget the lessons of old and where it is we come from. When we honor that process we will assist in manifesting our dreams, our goals in a more positive light.

White Buffalo will help to keep us grounded and on the right walk, allowing us to realize that when we are walking correctly the path is much easier to move upon.

Honor Self, Honor Creator, Honor All Life as Sacred.
