Ever just sit outside in a space and watch the ants? they are amazing creatures that allow nothing to detour them from the task at hand. They weather storms, heat, drought, people running over the tops of their homes with weed whips, fire, people stepping on them, and the list could go on forever. and when something occurs they all step in and assist and carry on. Wow we could learn much from the Ant if we would simply understand the lessons they share. A creature so small, coming together and working, assisting each other, for the common good… and accomplishing the task against all sorts of diversity! What a freakin’ concept!
The Ant teaches us that all good things come in time as we walk life in positives, holding to our truths, convictions in order to manifest our dreams into realtime. They also share through example how teamwork and clear focus can get the job done. Look at how tiny they are, yet working diligently and with purpose they always manage how to overcome the obstacles that are often set on their paths.
They also talk to us about community and working together to build a better being. Community is important, so perhaps this card is shown today for the fact we all need to remember that we all impact life and community just by being. So our actions can speak volumes, so choose to think before moving ahead in order to walk in positives for the best outcome.
The Ant can move mountains when it chooses to do so. They always have the eye on the prize so to speak. This is how we must think at times to get things done., to push through things that are difficult and at times weigh us down. We must call on that inner strength, and just simply get it done. It doesn’t matter what others think about us, we do not need to answer to their expectations… we simply need to believe and have faith that the world around us will have our backs, remembering that we are all born with everything we need in life to survive and live, we just have to open to the possibility of it all.
Well today will prove to be a very Powerful day indeed!
As I sat this morning, I have been trying to shake through the energy long enough to hear clearly. Last night in the sky above us all was the “Supermoon eclipse” and the last to occur until 2033. Also called the Full Harvest Moon. Many of the Native American tribes gathered crops and food supplies at this time for the upcoming year. The bright light of the Harvest Moon allowed them to work late into the night to harvest their crops.
The Harvest Moon varies and does not always occur in September but to the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, which falls during October once or twice a decade. Sometimes the September full moon is also referred to as the Corn Moon.
When I sat to pull the card of the day, three fell to the table, so I will honor the strength of “Spirit” and share with you all three!
The first to fall was the “Grouse” dancing under the moon’s glow that was still evident in the early morning sky. No Surprise here!
Taking time to celebrate the moment!
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.
Listen and hear as Grouse shares with us today and beats it’s wings and stomps the ground in harmony with all that is Sacred!
The Next Card that came jumping to the table was of course “Frog”
The Frog teaches us of transition and transformation, supporting us as we walk through times of change. Connecting us with the our deepest emotions and assisting us with the process of cleansing our physical, emotional, spiritual selves to attain balance.
The frog represents the cycles of life, birth and rebirth. If we take a glimpse at the Frogs own journey through life from a tadpole to the adult state it mirrors the many cycles of transformation and rebirth in our own lives.
It can assist us with the process of owning our own personal power. Recognizing it by cleansing ourselves of what no longer serves us and embracing with open arms what is now possible.
And the last card the Deck shared with me this morning is “Salmon”
Coho Salmon bring to our lives and teach us ways of abundance, fertility, prosperity and renewal of both the physical and spiritual. Guiding us with transformation, intuition, instinct, and urging us to examine your life considering any of the obstacles we may have on our paths as we walk forward.
Coho Salmon teaches us that the most valuable and sacred things in life must be fought for. Although it may seem the odds are impossible and the struggles have worn you out, your needs, goals and dreams are near, and that the most resistance normally occurs just before we succeed. So do not stop and give up now. This is not time to go with the flow today… ignore what outside pressures are placing on you and go with your own intuition, follow your instincts they will not fail you.
Like the Coho Salmon we also go through several transitions throughout our lives, so remember if you are feeling stuck it may be time to transition into newness of self, leaving what is not needed anymore behind. Return to your Soul’s intent, feel the Sacred of you and honor that as you push ahead to reach your goals.
So looking at the three cards, “Spirit” shares with us the freedom to Dance with our Souls! Enjoy the life we are here to live and experience, honoring the Sacred within! Our spirits have been given the energy to renew and transform…so take hold of our own power that comes from deep within our core! allow the abundance and fertility of ideas and creativity to blossom into positives your life… your path, your journey has been acknowledged and listen to the sacred from within and around your life and allow it to push you into the positive steps of life!
Enjoy the powerful energy that kicks us into a new week…new stories… new journeys and new experiences!

The 5th Dimension Age of Aquarius available on Itunes
Okay so it is time to take the mask off. Today it is about not hiding from yourself or others. Time to own it and take back your own power so to speak. WE need to stop letting others expectations of us take hold and stopping us from being who we really are. As individuals we must learn that we are all different and unique from each other, meaning we need to stop and figure out just what our souls are trying to say to us… and then listen to that voice and be the person we are meant to be. Not what someone else thinks we need to be, do, say, act… It’s about taking your voice, your spirit back and being in control of it, allowing the positives to push you through the muck and negatives.
If we stop and think about it, there are days it is hard enough to be us…let alone being someone that others want us to be. So step into you, reclaim you… revel in you… BE YOU… and stop walking on the eggshells that others place on your path.
Racoon
Raccoon 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, Raccoon 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 Raccoon 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.
Raccoon 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. Raccoon 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.

One of the Wolf and the bear Networks favorite and talented Ms. Kellin Watson performing “Your Place in This World” from her No Static CD available on Itunes!
The Ancient Ones are calling out for us to look within, to see truths and not lie to oneself… for we are responsible for how we act, think and behave. And although it is great to say we will look in the reflection of self to see truths of how we walk, it is quite another thing to be brutally honest about it and accept our short comings and how they effect others within and around our lives.
So it is time to strip away the falsehoods we put up, take the blinders off and be honest with ourselves. We need this action in order to move ahead and release those negative tendencies and move into a more positive way of life. It is an intense emotional time right now, with the Full Blood Moon preparing to rise in the skies on September 28, 2015, so allow the emotions to flow and cleanse the soul, strengthen your hoops by embracing changes that will help us to be better to others and mostly to be better to ourselves.
Orca
Orca is one of the most revered of the ancient Ones who swim and protect our Waters. Their songs speak to us of healing from deep within our souls. Listen as they begin calling in positive vibrations of thought and sound. Orca’s guide us through the depths of our own emotions allowing us to explore and mend self more effortlessly by moving with the waves of life, rather than against. They help us access the Ancestor’s knowledge that is buried deep within our own DNA that is the key to all that is Sacred.
We are being called to search our souls, for looking inward is the only way that we can move forward in positive motions at this time. Orca will help us to understand self and give us a clear view to set our intention of what is needed in the situation for the highest good.
Orca will guide and help us to confront our emotions that are out of control by making connections that are needed between our conscious and subconscious to bring about the balance we need in our Sacred Hoops.
Emotions run high today as we walk our Human. We must makes sure to walk with exceptionally high self standards by not jumping to conclusions before we hear the entire story. Reign it in and listen to that inner voice to guide you towards balance. Empower the prowess of the Tiger and slowly watch, listen in order to learn what the best approach to things are today. Then step into it all knowing it is the right way for it allows you to be in control of yourself and situations allowing positives to move all forward in order to manifest what is needed.
Card of the Day – Tiger
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.

Healing Song by Wahancanka Lakota Pipe And Ceremonial Songs
As Fall begins to settle into its cycle sharing with us that Winter is soon approaching, it reminds us to honor the motions we must go through for that preparation. Our Sacred Hoops need to stay aligned, and we must not forget the traditions, the ceremony, the rituals of everything that we hold Sacred in our lives as we move into a time of Dreams. A period of creativity and thoughtfulness, a time when we share stories and create new ones in order to teach what we have been shown, The old ways that have been handed down from generation to generation assisting us to move in positives in a forward motion on our paths.
Snow Goose
Snow Goose teaches us to respect traditions; for the past indeed holds keys to our futures it reminds us of what is important so that our own Sacred Hoops remain healthy and balanced. teaching us it is a cautious time with the energy shifts that are occurring, to be making any large changes in our lives with out great thought and preparations.
Snow Goose also teaches us about asking for help and support, working together with others within your circle to accomplish more than what could be done alone. Working alongside another or in a group teaches us the benefits of cooperation and belonging. Snow Goose shares the talent of communication through writing and storytelling. Stay open to new ideas, to spiritual quests, and traveling just be prepared before you do so.

Oh creator as I stand humbly in front of you I ask that you hear our prayers as they are raised upon my Brother Eagles Wings and touch your cheek in the sky. Bring us the strength to be better Humans and to embrace the light of our souls. Aho ~ bear Medicinewalker
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!
