Let’s See What Spirit wants to Share with Us in the Card of the Day

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…

Wednesday June 29th 2022 Card of the Day White Sage

White Sage speaks all about the Sacred Within each of us! We need to take the time to honor that and all that is Sacred in and around our lives. Time to recognize it and send thanks and gratitude up to the Creator and Ancestors, keeping us strong of mind, heart, body and keeping our intents positive. White Sage shows us that it is time to change the path of the negatives that surround us in the world today by shielding ourselves with positives! Sometimes we need to look deep within ourselves to see the destructive cycles that we have placed ourselves in most of the time without even realizing it, and then set about releasing them. Thus changing our very thought patterns. Learn to look in the mirror and see the reflection understanding that we are in deed human and have flaws. But that those flaws do not mean we are unlovable, incapable, unwanted, rather they mean we have opportunity to grow, to expand to better ourselves, and heal.

Begin by giving yourself the love you deserve… Self Love. All the time understanding and knowing that the Creator and the Ancestors that walked before us support and assist us if we are open to it. We simply have to believe and have faith. Life does not work by pushing the “Easy” button… it is all about the journey and the process we go through to make us whole, balanced and walking in positives.

White Sage speaks to honoring family, friends, all people and creatures that have walked with you and that have yet to enter your path. Honor your Guides, the Spirit that assist you each day. Honor the Elementals, the Directions, the Great Mother Earth and Father Sky. Honor Grandmother Moon and Grandfather Sun.

This is what the Sacred Sage reminds us of, this is the tone it sets for us to follow. Remember it is not owned by anyone, it is one of the Great Mother Earth’s many gifts to us and it is up to all of us to keep all that is Sacred safe and thriving.

White Sage assists in clearing our energy fields, driving out the negative and strengthening the positives. White Sage is held Sacred because of it’s effective purifying energies. It heals by bringing us back to balance cleansing the body and mind of negative spirits and impurities. Leaves are at times burned to drive away bad spirits, evil influences, bad dreams, bad thoughts, and illness.

Many Blessings to You All,

Card of the Day June 28th 2022 with an Old bear

Grouse reminds us of what is Sacred within our own Hoops. It reminds us to stand in our own power, to drum and ground with the great Mother Earth, to experience our own heartbeats of our souls. Speaking to us and whispering that we need to dance and honor our own spirits, allowing the joys that are in life to enter and filling our own Sacred Hoops with the positives that are needed in the moment and beyond.

Grouse dances in circles, speaking to us of cycles that we walk through on our paths, from birth to death transitions and on to rebirth. We all experience these, from the moment we take our first breath, it is called change. So the Grouse asks that we embrace those changes… and dance to the drumbeat of your own soul!

Stand in your own power, revitalize your spirit, your human… dance and create, manifest what it is that you need to walk a more positive way on your own path. Don’t worry about what others are thinking or doing… concentrate on your own energy as you dance and place yourself in harmony and balance with body, mind and spirit.

Lions bring reminders of inner strength, assertiveness and personal power to the table. They try and warn us to also take hold and control the darker side and bring it to balance so that anger and aggression doesn’t spill over and push us to people or places we do not need to be.

Lions also will make itself known in order to warn about challenges and obstacles that may arise in our lives. Guiding us so that we may be able to deal and cope with courage and insight. Reminding you to walk with self-confidence and take ownership of your personal power. Lions show us that we need to utilize our own strength, courage and assertiveness to get ahead of the situation.

Lions also teach us that we can indeed be leaders but have to be careful not to dominate everything in our relationships at home or work. Find a balance that works and things will be healthier and more positive for you and those in your Sacred Circles. Just remember to temper any anger or negative feelings that arise…

Lions the embodiment of Strength …Courage… and Empowerment!

Blessings to you All!

Spiritual Insights for the Day Earth

So it appears that Spirit wants to continue a message for us all today because in the 7th spot the Earth card has dropped, as this past Friday was Earth Day. The Word they are yelling at me over and over and yes over is Caretakers, Caretakers, Caretakers! That is our primary goal here today and all days. The Great Mother Earth has granted us all permission to use what is needed to live life here. It provides us with things we need to survive. Yet we all often forget we also need to replenish, replenish what is used by planting and setting up success for the next Seven Generations.

Earth also brings forward today Energy that will be needed to move positively by holding us calmly in her grasp and allowing us to ground ourselves in positives. Flowing through us and boosting our energy when needed throughout the day. So remember what is shared with us all, and remember not to strip away things that are needed, but rather be grateful and honor our children, grandchildren and yes even our Greatgrandchildren… 7 generations forward and become caretakers of all life here on the planet.

So today remind yourself to take care of Life as we understand it. Nurture and care for what has been shared with us in order to sustain a healthy balance of Mind, Body and Spirit. Fill your days with positive ritual, pray often, communicate with others clearly and in positives, awaken your minds and souls to what is, rather than what we may think. Learn to be forgiving and more unconditional with self and others for it will help nurture good things to grow such as Love and Faith in each other, in community.

The Great Earth Mother shares with us all that we need to survive and walk the Human. Earth shows itself from deep within the deck and appears as the seventh card. Earth Medicines speaks to us of how we live our lives. About how we go about sharing your personality with the world around us. Our Hopes, aspirations and fears…how we embrace and live out our dreams.

Earth is not interested about what affects us, but rather teaches us to learn how to interact and balance with all that is Sacred. How we go about honoring that precious balance of our Sacred Hoops and that of the larger complete Circle… life. It is whispering for us all to understand how everything inter relates to every living and breathing thing here on the Great Mother. From the smallest creature to the largest tree that stands on the tallest mountain that has the clearest water running down its sides in order to replenish the Earth.

Earth speaks to the understanding of the Medicine Wheel, as a foundation to how we build our lives and walk it. It teaches us our strengths and weaknesses. Earth shows us that sometimes no matter what is going on around us we need to center and ground our souls, allowing the energy to move us in positives. To fill our beings with what has been provided to us, simply understanding that all we need has been shared… we do not own it… but rather have been given the gift of caring for… Not only the earth we stand on …but the human form we dwell in.

Earth teaches us to stand tall as the Redwoods… as dignified as the Mountains…to learn to flow as the rivers and waters of the Earth…gently some times and at others as a raging storm. whatever it may be…honor the Sacred, observe the lessons of the creatures that walk the planet… And most of all be thankful for all we have been given in order to walk our human.

“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…”

Many Blessings of the Day

Spiritual and Totem Insights the Prayer Tie

So today it was a bit enlightening that the 7th card was the Prayer Tie. So much turmoil and pain in the world today that it is a wonder it isn’t showing up more. Today is about understanding that pain is real, whether it is emotional, physical or spiritual it exists…as it is part of the human journey. So today recognize it for what it is… use the positives that are available to make our days run smoother, more polished, better examples of the good that can occur if we set our minds to it. Connect with the higher power that we can connect with and communicate what is needed, what we are thankful for… asking for strength and guidance throughout our days…

Prayer can be a powerful tool, a way of working through things we may not understand, for even bad things happen to good people. Reach out and offer a prayer or a good thought for someone in need, perhaps even someone that you may not personally know… you will be surprised how often it helps. Today remember how to be human… allow yourself to show compassion and understanding… set our ego’s aside and be in that moment of humanity that we all should remember.

I was taught to use Prayer Ties a long time ago… what are they you ask? Well Prayer Ties are meant to create a sacred object, that contains your desires and prayers. remembering that your prayers are important. Originally placing tobacco infused with our prayers and intent for positive changes, within brightly colored cloth, tying them with white cotton string, and then placing them into trees to be gently swayed on the Sacred Winds and lifted to the Universe and Creator to hear and see.

The People have made Prayer Ties by wrapping sacred herbs into a cloth while praying to Creator. Once the Prayer Ties are completed they are burned in a respectful and reverent ceremony, assuring that the prayers and intent are sent up to the heavens and carried to the Creator in the smoke. Making Prayer Ties is not about precision or doing it right, it is all about the intent of positive change.

I challenge you all this day, no matter what your background or ritual, to stop and put together a Prayer Tie together and place it in a place of respect, gratitude and honor… so that others will ask what they are, and then you can tell them it is about positive change and honoring those who have walked before us.

So today go about your days inspiring and doing Positives… ignoring the negatives of the world, for a positive can empower many good things including remembering who and what we are meant to be and how we are meant to walk… unconditionally as Human, with faults and imperfections, yet perfect in our individuality. For without each and everyone of us, the world would be incomplete.

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. Through the Music… the Arts…the stories…”
