November 9, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Fox

card 35 Red Fox 1122
The Fox steps in today to start the week off, sharing with us that patience will be needed to reach the desired outcome for the day today. Step through our days watching, listening and quietly moving through the obstacles that present themselves by counting on our inner wisdom that we have cultivated through our own life experiences. It is best to strengthen our Sacred Hoops and use what we have been taught in order to keep in positives.

It will prove to be a quirky day, one that may appear to be going in one direction and then all of a sudden shift in a totally unexpected way. So stay on your toes. This does not mean that things will be negative, rather just different from the normal flow. All will be well today, just be prepared for pretty much anything!

The Fox brings us lessons on survival and adaptability, teaching us that sometimes it is best to hide in plain sight rather than to secure yourself in the shadows. To be adaptable in the pursuit of our goals, so we can accomplish what we have set out to do for the highest good.

Fox calls us to listen to that little voice we all have inside called “intuition” and trust it when it signals us to be aware of certain things as we are walking our paths. Fox also reminds us that it is okay to be alone once in awhile for it teaches us to be self reliant and independent, which makes us stronger beings able to stand in our Sacred Hoops balanced and secure.

Yet be aware and walk with open senses to the world around you so that you will not be surprised but rather prepared for what shows up on your walk. Patience is another lesson Fox brings to the table for us, patience to watch, listen and learn without movement until we can gain the knowledge needed to accomplish what we have set out to be or do. If we rely on what it is we instinctively know, it will guide us in the right direction.

Know what it is you are seeking and then reach into your toolkit that you have been provided and use what you know in positive ways to get you there.

November 6, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Tiger

card 19 tiger 1122
So you want to swing that power around today…? then you better make sure you know what you are swinging and who you are swinging it at! WE may think we have all the answers, but we don’t…take it from someone who is always seeking to learn more…We are not the know all of anything.

There is so much more to learn, and how do we do that? By showing respect for the process and understanding that if we teach as well as learn, that we balance our Sacred Hoops, we can do anything we set our mind to with good intent and positives! Reign it in a little today so that when you get ready to ROAR… it is for the right reasons and with good intentions that move things in the right way…

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.

a Medicine Wheel Teaching… Autumn the Time of Frost as shared by bear Medicinewalker

Medicinewheel atumn Teaching header

Autumn the Time of Frost…the time to let go of things that no longer serve us, and plant the seeds that will lie under the Winter’s Grace to be nurtured and brought forth in new more positive growth in the springtime! This is the time we may be filled with new and creative energies and ideas. But it takes special understanding and care to keep that flow moving in a forward and positive direction. Thus sometimes it is often better to seed the ideas and work on them slowly to bring them about into fruition. For often timing is key to all things.

We must find the patience to do just that as we walk these days. So much is out there ready to grab our attention and often direct us to negative response. at this time we often may find ourselves looking for reasons of why, how, when and delve deeper into life’s mysteries themselves. It is a time for most to draw power and energy from so that we can manifest what we need for the future. We are all important and our needs are none the less than another’s.

Frost time is a reminder of the human sleep of death, transformation and rebirth. It is about the souls journey that continues on into the next step, the next mile.the next part of the journey. Whether here in the human …or beyond the veil in the lands of the “Spirit” Walking from Frost time we learn of that very rebirth and renewal… as water goes from ice to water once again once it is warmed and then renewing itself again over night.

Take time to embrace the smell of the westerly winds that bring with them the element of continued change and ritual. Watch as the Tall Ones shed their leaves and prepare for sleep and rest during time of hibernation. Look up to the Star People as they fill the night sky and show us the future that can be lived in positives. Draw the energy as you need it, for the Ancestors are watching and listening to our needs and are there to assist us in attaining them. They Love us, they sacrificed and lived before us in order for us to have better and more balanced lives. We need to Honor that as we move forward.

So as you head through this Autumn, this Time of Frost be conscious of what you are seeding beneath and within you, for when Spring arrives you want your Soul to reflect the newness of Spring… the positives of who you truly are, leaving the old to be recycled and renewed.

Many Blessings,

Mitakuye O`yasin…

November 5, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – White Sage

White Sage clusters sub deck

Today’s card White Sage falls to the table and speaks all about the Sacred Within each of us! Today 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.

It is simply 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.

So today 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 the “Good Red Road” or whatever color you wish to paint it. For no matter how someone spins it, We Are All Related.

Honor your family, your 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.

One of the most Sacred of herbs among many cultures and people, White Sage assists in clearing our energy fields, driving out the negative and strengthening the positives. 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.

The botanical word for sage, Salvia, actually comes from the Latin word, meaning “to heal,” so add White Sage to your healing and prayer rituals and put yourself on a path to balance and honoring the Sacred Within!

Card of the Day November 4, 2015 Two For One – Leopard and Rabbit

Card of the Day Nov 4

Well this morning the deck once again took on a mind of its own… or shall I say “Spirit” LOL! Well the Leopard and the Rabbit literally jumped out of the deck just before I began to count the Sacred Seven. So how does that relate to our day?  Well we need to face our Fears with courage and understanding, so we can allow the healing to actually begin, to move froward. We need to remember to take care of ourselves, make each moment count. Don’t wait for someone to call you to repair misunderstandings, take the initiative and do it yourself. That doesn’t mean you are weak, it just means you are inciting positive change. Don’t wait for someone else to clean up your messes… take the broom and do it yourself. WE all have the ability and are capable of it, just that sometimes we get lazy about it.

If we do the work instead of hiding from it, instead of waiting for others to step in…we will learn the lessons that are right in front of us. WE ARE STRONG ENOUGH…. WE HAVE FAITH… WE ARE GOOD ENOUGH… WE ARE WORTHY OF…

SOoooooo embrace yourselves in the imperfect and revel in the fact that as you embrace the imperfect you are setting balance to your own Sacred Hoops!

card 15 Leopard 1122
Leopard Steps in 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.

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.

card 50 Rabbit
Rabbit reminds us all to remember we need to nurture our selves 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.

November 3, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Wolf

card 39 Wolf 1122

Today we look to Wolf and all she has shared with us in the past months, and honor the community, the family in our lives. We do NOT walk alone in this world, and it is time to remember that allow old wounds to heal, for Wolves do not walk alone unless they are ill. So look deep inside and right wrongs that need to be righted within self and within your own Sacred Hoop! Time to stop old cycles that push us into corners, into shadow. Time to release the Wolf so that they can be free to be playful, to dance, to howl at the moon… to share with the pack.

Wolf is a very organized creature. It understands there is need for order and balance for harmony to occur with our Sacred Hoops. Wolf is regarded as one of the most powerful spirit guides of all for it represents teacher and lessons to be learned and shared with self. It speaks to us to seek counsel from people that you respect. To take a moment to step back and look for the true meaning from the issue you face. By doing so, you will be able to walk clearly ahead and do what needs to be done with the knowledge you can see it all clearly.

Although many think the site of a lone wolf means freedom but it does not. It instead represents that it is a time to look deep in oneself and find the balance that is needed in your own life that is lacking. For the wolf is meant to be in packs, in a community, in a family, with its mate. The times you see wolves on their own or isolated is do to unbalance that needs to reground and once again be in the circle of the Sacred Hoop.

The Wolf cry reminds us to stand our ground, remember we all need boundaries. It is about communication, answering the call and listening to the response. The Wolf an assist us to open and listen to the sound of others in order to understand better the situation. It is about having the strength of the pack, and your closest friends with you when you need them without questions.

Wolf is strongly connected to lunar cycles, so learn to move with that cycle and honor it in order to be at your best. They teach us to weed out what is the weakest and no longer serves us, so that new and better things will come our way.

October29, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – White Buffalo

card 38 White Buffalo 1122

Today the White Buffalo speaks to us again for it is important to remember the rituals of our day. To honor the Sacred that is within and around our Sacred Hoops! If we would simply stop and take a moment to breathe, we would see that many have forgotten the simple, the basic, the ritual and ceremony we should be doing each day as we walk the human. The Seven Grandfather Teachings, “Courage, Wisdom, Respect, Love, Honesty, Truth and Humility” as our guide to how we are to walk our paths as our foundations of who we are. Our connection from the present to our past when these values were a way of life, as they should continue to be today.

It does not matter what culture you are from, what job you hold, it does not matter that you have riches or are poor, what matters is how we all choose to walk, be, share and connect with one another in positives, honoring each soul’s light. So today, be the best person you can be, let your soul’s light shine with goodness and the unconditional that we are born to share. Make a positive imprint on your world the world that revolves around each of us.

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.
