Spiritual and Totem Insights of the Day – the Racoon


Racoon comes in today …(fitting as it is a Friday and the beginning of a weekend) telling us that we have worked hard all week so we need to set aside the grindstone just a bit and remember or playful side. Take some time out for it is long deserved and Dance under the Full Moon This night and soak up all that amazing and recharging energy! But as you do this, take some time to examine what the Racoon also teaches us about our Daily life and how we need to look at things from All sides before casting Judgements.

Racoon is here to share that sometimes hiding behind the mask instead of engaging with life doesn’t win us points! Sometimes we need to utilize the tools that we have gathered here and there to obtain the goal we are seeking. That we need to be a champion of our own cause today! Not letting everyone else distract us from the task at hand.

Racoon teaches us to re-connect with our inner warrior, to become both provider and protector for ourselves and possibly others within our Sacred Hoop. However while assisting others, Racoon teaches us that we must in this process, learn to do this in a way that does not make those you are helping become dependent on your help. When dealing with issues the Racoon leaves no stone unturned. Patiently and diligently seek the solution by taking the time needed to observe the whole picture, both the seen and the unseen to find a positive solution.

Racoon’s are also the masters of curiosity, adaptability, resourcefulness, masks or illusion. They also speak of hiding behind and not being open an honest with your self. Learn to be more open and accept the gifts being offered to you right now by the universe. Be more versatile and watch for opportunity by being more aware of your surroundings and what is happening in and around your own Sacred Hoop.

Racoon teaches us that as human we wear many masks in life and sometimes feel the need to hide our true self as protection or to hide from the reality of a situation. Just remember it is okay to do that for a short time, but do not get lost behind that mask, for we all have purpose, we all have meaning in this walk we are on.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day the Tiger


Tiger drops in for a visit this day and speaks to us of gathering strength for the upcoming storms that will play out in our lives as we walk our Human. Not all things that we experience in our lifetimes are all “Raindrops and Roses” as the song suggests, but rather we are challenged and given the lessons of overcoming some of the most monumental obstacles to the small everyday things that irritate the crap out of us. It’s all about the process.

Often times when we are faced with these events we can even hear ourselves looking back in review saying …coulda …shoulda …woulda… so make each moment of the now matter… make every second count in positives so that there will not be the day when we say those very words. Learn to care for self in better ways, healthier ways… so that some of our human issues do not creep in through the cracks and degrade the gift of life that we have been given. make no mistake…each and every one of our lives, whether we are here for a short time or for many years… is a very special gift that houses our souls as they walk the journey here on earth. So pay attention to what the Tiger teaches us today and all days… and embrace it as part of you. you will not regret it in the least.

Tiger teaches us to utilize persistence and patience as we look to manifesting our dreams and goals. By walking with the right steps, in positive and meaningful ways we will accomplish what we have set out to do or be. They show us that through honoring the power we all hold within and utilizing that energy and respect… All things are possible and what the world has to share is limitless. Use your instincts, emotion and feelings to help guide you. Rely on what the inner voice the Tiger within is sharing with you…

Tiger teaches us that we have personal strength that we can tap in to. It is that primal force that we are all born with, that will show us the way to step into and through situations with confidence enabling us to walk over the obstacles we may face. Tiger spirit will help us to overcome fears we may be holding onto, teaching us how to release them and turn them into positives. Temper the anger, control the fear thus achieving a balance.

Tiger shares Prowess and walks into our lives when we need to stand in our own truths with grace and respect, but know with that should be the balance of respect returned. We are all connected, we all imprint, so watch how words flow and actions play out for they in turn will open more doors of positives for you if executed in proper fashion.

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 for the Day – the Lizard


Wow so today is about being real as the Lizard shows itself in the spread today!…  Being real with ourselves and others. No More pretending or running away from your emotions, your feelings. Take stock in them, embrace them so that you can understand yourself on a deeper level. Then ACCEPT what is shown to you. Be real with yourself and each other. Relationships with ourselves or others is work, everything is constantly changing and evolving… hopefully into positives. But in order for that to happen we have to work for it. Hey it’s worth it…you are worth it… so remember that!

Learn to be real with it, not hiding behind what you think people want to see in order to care or love you. If they love, care and respect you, they will work with you and accept your flaws with your best qualities. If it feels they are not then release them or the situation. Remember to make sure it is not your own imaginations and ego stepping into play before you do. For it may just be that and you need to be the one to release the self fears and doubts, for the positives have been there right in front of you all the while.

Lizard steps up to share with us that we may be repeating old cycles, recreating things because we have been doing them so long, it feels more natural that stepping into something new or opening the doors to something that is unknown. It tells us although we are able to face our fears, we often do not want to deal with them.

Lizard also shares truths about “EGO”, that often as human we are ruled by it. So what may be needed at the moment is to take a step back and let out hearts take over. Our “EGO” is often all to ready to step in and rule, so take time to really look deep within what is resonating with our hearts before making decisions or saying something we may regret.

Lizard shares that we are able to use all our “senses” as they were given to us at birth, rely on them, hone them and watch for situations that may not serve us and then remove ourselves from them or to step into the positive ones we need to move with. It is time to awaken what lies beneath, the unconscious mind that has been hiding things we have not wanted to deal with. Lizard will allow us to move them to the forefront so we can process through them and get rid of what is no longer needed and place us back to reality. We are all human, we are all flawed and the Lizard teaches us it is ok to be this way. Release as they release a tail, what needs to be let go, then move ahead and regrow in more positive ways.

Spiritual and Totem Insight for the Day – the Snake


Today is about Snake Medicine and learning to balance it within our lives. So what does that mean to us as human? Well for today to speaks to making our way through the day by depending on all our senses and understanding that this movement is part of our human experience. To make sure we use our time wisely and not waste it on frivolous negativity. Things happen for a reason and it is up to each of us to decide how it impacts and imprints on our lives.

Snake Is a difficult teacher at times, and one that is not easy to master. Lessons that Snake brings with it are of life cycles and change, remembering as we grow we shed and transform into new energies and new experiences. Snake also teaches us about poison and that we need to be able to rid ourselves of the toxins can be placed within our Sacred Hoops. Don’t let the poisons kill us or dim our light that resides within. At times the poison and toxins can play games with our thoughts if we allow them to, so mastering what is real and what is illusion can often contribute to negativity and clouding of ones judgement. Make sure to take a breath, a beat… before stepping into a place of no return. Keep it all in perspective and balance. Once you can accomplish this, balance will return and be maintained.

Snake can be a hard teacher. His lessons involve a transmutation of the cycle of life, death and rebirth. Snake symbolizes this cycle with the shedding of his skin. We learn to the whole energy of life, the cosmic consciousness and have the willingness to experience anything without resistance. It is also about the poisons that we might take in. Those poisons can be eaten or ingested in some way but they also may be integrated into our lives. The goal is to not let the poisons taint our body or spirit.

Since Snakes can shed they teach us about the levels of our human, of our spirituality, our experiences. It is time to seek our inner knowledge before moving ahead with decisions. It is time to coil and go within to make sure we are well prepared before we strike out.

Snake also reminds us as it makes its way across the Great Mother Earth, to ground ourselves, to use our energy wisely and not to rely on primal instincts of lashing out. For at times it is more empowering to hold back and use that knowledge that energy in wise ways. At other times it is best to strike and seize the moment with a precision and quickness. Snakes often retreat long before biting defensively because they sense that it may cause consequences/damage to others and drain you of healing energy.

Snake is also very old and powerful healing medicine. Once harnessed, Snake will help you to position yourself carefully so that you will trust your gut when making important decisions.

Spiritual and Totem insights for the Day – the Dove


The Dove shows up this day to remind us to revel in the Divine Soul that you are and let your light shine for the World to see! Today is about allowing your Spirit to shine, to sing, to dance, to be no matter what steps on the path in front of you. have Faith in who you are, who you will become as you walk this continued journey of Human. It is not time to sit idle and hide in shadow, it is time to rejoice in the unique individual that you are. The individual that the Creator, the Ancestors and all those that have walked with and before love, guide and care for unconditionally as we continue our walks here on the Great Mother earth.

As we walk our Human we often are faced with troubling things, troubling times…but we need to restore our Faith that all things are for reason, and that Creator has not forgotten us, but is there with the aid of those before us…guiding us and helping us to transition through the negatives that life throws our way and helps us to become stronger because of it. It is easier at times to feed our fears and insecurities during the trying times we live in. A place in time that there is so many negatives that seem to be growing and taking root among people of all cultures and creeds, but we must hold fast for we are the change, we will overcome, we will make differences…even if it takes us one moment at a time. How you ask? Because Faith in the Creator, in ourselves, in each other will help us get there!

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 Insights for the Day – Grandmother Spider


So as I pulled the card this morning I was reminded that this is the year of “I Am” and Grandmother Spider stops in to tell us be mindful of the webs we weave in our lives. Not only do we need to strengthen them but we need to understand is we are the creator of out own destinies. So each carbon footstep we take, each thought we have and each deed we do all creates that Sacred Circle of our lives.

Although we are all quick to point fingers out to the rest of the world, it is our own way of coping and handling things and people that put us into situations whether that turns out to be positive ones or negative ones. Are we getting caught up in our own trappings, or are we allowing the negativity to be caught up in the web and the positives to flow through to our very  souls?  Grandmother Spider is very wise… so it might prove prudent to listen and learn the lessons she offers us all!

Spider teaches us about hard work, creativity and releasing ourselves from what binds us. They show us that we are the creators of our own life, our own Sacred Hoops and that like the Spider we too spin intricate webs in our life stories. So as the Spider is a masterful weaver of its web, we too must become masters of weaving strong paths in our own lives.

Spider also whispers to each of us to be careful not to get caught in the webs of shadow, greed, and negativity. When this occurs it is time to release and begin anew. Do not stay trapped, for you are in charge of your own reality, it is up to you to take charge and move in the right direction. That we must create our own path in life, and learn to be a part of the whole as we walk the human, for all things are connected, we are all one.

“The webs of our lives are all connected to the web of all that is,” Grandmother Spider shares with us… our individual webs are made up of stories, beliefs and our emotions that make their way out to the universe. Listen to the word “story” for to store within ourselves is a function of the story. If we believe the stories we tell ourselves our very core within our souls will vibrate in that belief and create your web from that vibration. The Universe will support our stories, just to prove to us that we are creators. So step wisely, spin positives, and create a strong “Sacred Hoop”

So, the question today is simple, what have we decided to create? “Some human stories have served you,” Grandmother Spider shares, “and others have not. It is now time to clear your webs of those stories that have not. When you do so, you make space for new stories ones that will reflect your true nature, your soul’s light and your connection to all that is.

I am bear Medicinewalker and 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.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day – the Bat


Wow I don’t know about you but I Love Bats! And today this one stopped in to share some insights. Light and Dark, Day and Night, Ying and Yang… so if you haven’t got it yet you might need to do just this …Balance! Today is about balance and opposites. It is about looking at things from an opposite perspective and giving into understanding and the possibility that you could be wrong. What you say? Me Wrong???? Yup that’s what I said, Spirit is gently trying to show us that no matter who we are we are able to learn a thing or two if we simply admit we don’t know everything. Today “Spirit” says stop trying to be a “Know it All” as my Grandfather would say.

We need to balance ourselves within Teacher and Student… as we ALL whether we know it or not walk those shoes, actually from the time we are little. We learn and by doing others watch and become teacher. Bet you all never thought about that eh? So use the day to hone in all your senses, learn and teach but in positives and make sure you look real close before you jump into things. Make sure you try walking in other peoples shoes before rushing to conclusions!

Bat brings us teachings of perception. It is time to listen to what is not being said. To hear the truth of things, rather than what we may want to believe or what we may mask behind darkness and fear.

We all have an inner voice and we should learn to listen to it, it was given to us for many reasons one of them to help us find balance as we walk the human. Bats teach us to use our other senses to tune in seeing more than just what is seen by our eyes, giving us an advantage and opportunity to be able to walk ahead equipped with all the knowledge we need to be more positive and attain our goals.

Be open and let go of the fear we tend to hold on as change approaches us, the new things that we will allow in doing so will help us to fulfill our dreams and goals. Bat also brings with it the EGO and tells you to set it down so that spiritually you can grow and evolve in all ways that will help you balance within your Sacred Hoop.

Bury and release old habits, old possessions, things that no longer serve for the highest good, and be re birthed into a new knowing and understanding that will not only help to heal yourself but assist you in becoming a better human as you walk your path with all life that is sacred around you.

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.
