Crystals have always seemed magical to me, they are used for gazing, they can hold energy and power, they have been used by Seers and mystics, Shaman and Medicine people of all races and religions for as long as time can be recorded. So it was no surprise to me when today a new card emerged from the deck, the “Crystal Keepers“! Speaking of all the knowledge from the Ancestors, those that have walked before us from beyond time, that has been recorded and is accessible to each of us if we chose to listen to what is being shared. It is the history of life itself, of how we can attune our souls to balance, walk a better and in a more positive way.
They speak to us of opening ourselves to that inner core, the D.N.A. that has been encoded inside us from generation to generation. We don’t need science to hear and share in it’s wealth of knowledge… we don’t need to super smart to tap into it…we simply have to trust in our abilities that we are each born with and reignite the switch to openness.
It is time to listen and relearn the ways of our Ancestors in order to balance ourselves and life on the Great Mother Earth. It is time to remember the Grandfather/Grandmother Teachings of Humility, Honesty, Truth, Wisdom, Courage, Respect and Love. It is time as the “Crystal Keepers” share to amplify those traits and restore what needs to be happening here while we ALL walk the Human.
Blessings to you All

Winter is arriving sooner than we may think according to the cards this week that have shown up for us as today yet another reminder falls into place the Polar Bear comes into play. Now for many people automatically think of the Polar bear as a winter bear, playing in the snow and ice… dealing with the harsh cold weather… But as it teaches us today…there is much to prepare for and no one better to remind us than the Polar Bear!
We must gather strength and all that is needed for the long winter months ahead. We must be prepared for anything that happens along the way especially the unexpected. We must be adaptable in order to survive in a healthy manner. We must remember to feed our bodies, minds and souls to continue to achieve balance. We must remember our foundations and core of who we are so we are steady and true on our paths….
Polar Bears do not typically hibernate in the same fashion as it’s other related cousins…. instead they walk life in a continuous adaptable manner, foraging through life as needed in order to survive.
Polar Bear comes and steps into the light today, speaking to us of those that have walked and come before us and all that has been lost. We must remember the old ways, teach the old ways, tell the old stories… because one day sooner than we would all like to hear, we all will be part of the past. For it is written so we begin and so we will end, it is the cycle of life. But at the same time what is still here, our teachings, our memories, life that grows and continues around us, also have to be cared for and remembered in the present… for there are valuable lessons and teachings for us all to cherish and walk forward with.
The way of the Polar Bearis fast declining as are so many of the world culture traditions, stories and ways of healing and being. So we must remember to honor what is remembered and carry it forward, even if through sharing memories. So much to learn… so much to teach….
The Polar Bear shares that it is time to dig deep within your self and balance your Sacred Hoop. Discard what is no longer needed so that you may move ahead on your path in a positive way. Polar Bears are all about the Winter which relates to nurturing self, taking time to feed your soul and examine what is needed for us to take steps forward to survive and flourish in a healthy manner.
Polar Bear steps in to show us all how strong we can be as we face life’s challenges that are thrown at us from time to time. It is time to stand up and show that strength in the dark corners of our life and take ownership of the light that needs to shine from within. Helping to guide us between our human walk and our connections to spirit.
Polar Bear tells us to clean out our dens of unwanted and unneeded energies that are no longer healthy for us. creating for us in that process a renewal of Spirit and thought and putting us back to balancing our Sacred Hoops. We need to remember we are responsible for self and are the only ones that can set ourselves to that place of balance and positives. In a sense we are the masters of our own Universe… so own that …empower yourself …. and love yourself… if we can understand and attain that we will allow other positives into our life with that alignment.
Blessings to you All

Swooping and soaring… utilizing air currents to it’s advantage! That’s what the Red Tail Hawk tries to teach us all as it lands from the deck this morning. WE need to learn to work the with the world around us to push us to greatness… push us to positives… push us to what helps and keeps us balanced through all the craziness that may surround us at any given time. We learn to adapt, to weave and bob through the turmoil of chaos in order to meet our goals. Not allowing the negativity that is out there to even hinder us.
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.

So today the card that presented is the the Medicine Bag bringing with it a teaching that we need to remember to honor what is important to each of us as individuals. Bring about positive change in Self… Take strong steps today to EmpowerSelf. This is not speaking to EGO…it is speaking to our Souls to feed them, restore them making them balance so that we may stay healthy and happy. We can not do that by engaging in the negative chaos of the world. Instead it encourages us to utilize our energies for positive changes… in our selves… in our lives … and in the world around us. Take a moment to think about the energy used on negativity, it builds up anger, unrest, and of course discord in ourselves and others that share our space. So if we took that same energy spent and put it to use to solve problems, evolve outcomes to positives by applying what we know and what is truly needed …think how our worlds could change for the better!
So today reach inside our own power, tap into your personal medicine to allow it to help heal and balance your soul for we need to keep our personal medicine fresh and new as it teaches us what it is to be alive in a healthy way that continues to feed our Spiritual needs.
A Medicine Bag ( also called a Medicine Pouch) is traditionally a small pouch filled with talismans such as stones, herbs, found objects, personal memorabilia and its purpose is protection, to remind us of our human and All that is Sacred and to assist us in healing and keeping our Sacred Hoops in balance. Native Americans have carried these bags for centuries, but in recent years, they’ve also become popular in our modern day culture but most are unaware of the intent/purpose of them.
Traditionally a medicine bag or bundle contains something from the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms and from the life of a person. Meant to be kept close to your person so that the spiritual power surrounds you and becomes one with your energy. In a sense it becomes one with who you are. What goes onto the bag is your personal medicine, things you draw “power” from that will aid you as you walk your paths. If you receive one as a gift, the maker or person gifting it should add something of their own to help you on your journey.
Understand that a traditional Medicine Pouch is Sacred. The bag should not be opened by anyone else. It is up to the individual whose bag it is if they choose to take items out in order to share with others the story behind them, or to use them for healing purposes. Each item is considered Sacred and is meant to assist its owner with power and spirituality while they walk the Human. Allowing others to access the bag and it’s contents, ‘steals’ the power and lessons its intent for the owner.

The Leopard has always fascinated me as they carry so much power but quietly so. They are always observing, calculating the world around them and how to proceed with their motion with in life itself. Not so much arrogantly, although that sometimes is an air that they carry… I feel it is more so a survival technique, one that us humans could learn much from if they payed attention to and utilized in our own lives as well. They are respectful of the rules of nature… of the life cycle… so as it shows up in the cards this morning, pay close attention today as to how you step, what you say making sure each movement is in positives.
The Leopard steps in this day to tell us that it is time to allow the healing to move forward and occur, we are entering a time of rebirth, so open yourself to embracing it and allowing us to be moved ahead from the shadows to the light. We all have the capabilities to take care of ourselves, for we were born with them, physical, mental, psychic, emotional and spiritual. It is time for us to now do the work with those gifts we were bestowed with to bring about balance within our Sacred Hoops.
The Leopard says it is time to accept who you are, your own spots so to speak, and use them all to your advantage. Utilize your strengths rather than your weaknesses or bad habits. Belief, faith and confidence of self will lead you to where you need to be, where you are supposed to be at the exact right moment.
Remember to work out things for all outcomes so that you like the leopard can change direction on a dime. Reach in and align the energy around you into stability and balance. To walk with the Leopard is to walk in the highest of spiritual and honorable way. It is about freedom of self and ego, time to tap in to our own psychic abilities, solve our problems with clarity and positives, and remember to shift into what is needed to move on the paths you are meant to travel for the highest good.

How fitting that as “Spirit” kicked me out of bed this morning and told me to start connecting and writing again, to get on with business of my journey… to share things that have been shared with me to others… to reach beyond my aspirations and dreams and help folks to remember to focus on the “Spiritual” part of life so many of us have strayed from over the past months… that the card that is drawn for today is Eagle! Then as I step outside under the rising of Grandfather Sun… the Eagle swoops the lake in search of it’s morning meal. Yup can’t be clearer than that.
So let’s get to it!
Eagle a strong symbol of All that is Sacred, and reminder that we too can fly high and feel the breath of the Creator if we honor the process. We must understand that each and every act we do, each word we say, each look we make can move mountains or set up walls. We can be the strength that is needed to protect, the example needed to inspire or the calm that settles a storm. But we must honor the process. There is no easy button to push, no simple way to get things done for it all requires work in order to achieve the outcome we desire. So remember to feed the positives, weed out the negativity from your life and allow ourselves to be able to feel the Creators love upon each of us.
Eagle reminds us all that we need to care for our Spiritual needs. That the very part of who we are and walk as begins with our Spiritual side and how we connect to the Creator and all that is Sacred. Our soul’s Light, our energy, our very foundation is all about how we feed our soul. How and what we choose as we walk our paths will then mirror out to the world and invite the same to surround us.
We must remember the foundations of Humanity… Love, Respect, Wisdom, Humility, Truth, Honesty and Courage… in order to be strong and stand in a balanced and good way. We must overcome the blindness of society and the negatives they spin. This is what Eagle shares today… this is what he reminds us to do.
So today fly high and touch the face of Creator… stand in Integrity and Truths, and stand with All that is Sacred, all that Matters… with Love and Respect that we are meant to as Human.
Eagle speaks to us of our spiritual paths. I have been taught that the Eagle can fly to the heavens, that its wings can be touched by God Creator. When in it’s presence I feel the Grace of the Creator and All that is Sacred. The Eagle humbles me.
Teaching us to reflect and pause, to rejoice and reconnect to our spirits. To honor our paths, the ethics we have been taught. To Pray, to honor to live in a sacred manner. To listen to our Ancestors that have walked before us and in doing so listen to the wisdoms that have been shared so that we can walk more positive paths. Eagles the symbol of Courage and strength, to do … to walk… the right manner. To take that courage and step into what you re meant to step to in a positive way, and allowing our spirits to soar to the heights to share in God Creator’s extended grace.
Eagles with their sharp eyesight take us to the heights to observe situations in a manner that is more beneficial for us to make clear decisions. To become that visionary and push ourselves to discover and accept self, to accept truths, adapting , changing and growing along the way.
The medicine Eagle shares is, the ability to connect to the Divine, a power of God Creator. Being able to place one foot into the spirit realm and yet remain connected and balanced with Mother Earth.
So Honor your Spirit today and everyday by connecting with the Sacredness around you!

Having grown up and lived in Detroit in the 60’s, when race violence, segregation, bigotry and hatred was evident ever day… having it effect my family up close and personal more than a few times, Watching but being part of a household that was all about love… and responded by teaching me no difference between people…just good people and bad people no matter what religion, color, political belief or gender.
Standing in cemeteries while they played taps for young men who were like big brothers to me had gone off to war in the name of fighting for our country and peace returning in a box… watching their Mothers and Fathers sob and having it effect our community on many levels…
Having seen the President and men of peace be assassinated and a country mourn… Continued wars being fought in countries I had never heard of… and then coming here to our own homeland as the Great Towers fell… I remember my Mother saying to me,,, I have lived to long… there are too many People being hateful…too much ugliness in the world. I will never forget that moment ever. Forever etched in my brain. We sat, we held each others hand and we both silently allowed tears to fall on our cheeks.
I thought that perhaps we had seen the worst… perhaps people would begin to learn from the past, from history. But as Humans we have not. We still continue to judge based on all things, to treat each other badly. In some ways I feel it may have gotten worse… in some ways now the people who once were judged are now worse, harshly judging others using the past as an excuse to behave badly. So much so they even judge and attack others within their own communities/cultures.
So today, as I sat under a total eclipse of our Grandfather Sun, I prayed that we may find our way back to our Humanity and Compassion. That instead of trying to erase the ugliness of our pasts… we instead learn from them but grow in positives instead of spreading and creating new negatives. I ask that there be an awakening and rise of the Peacemakers of the Rainbow Nation that many cultures predicted and that they in turn lead people to balance and peacefulness. For in each and every community… in each and every corner of the world they are there beginning to rise, our Peaceful Warriors.
So my wish and blessing for you all today is this, stop for a moment and realize you are NOT perfect, you will NOT always be right, that you will make mistakes and make them often… that You are No better than another… that setting aside EGO you will allow Love, Understanding and Compassion into your souls, into your lives. For to be unique, different, human and experience life in positives is why we are all here, if we all can embrace that thought, that ideal perhaps we will move away from our pasts and our sad history of negatives.
Blessings to you all upon this day and all those to come,
