“Guardians of Knowledge and Emotion” a watercolor painted by bear Medicinewalker.
Today the Angel Number that came up was 112… and what it reminds us of is we need to remain optimistic and stand within our Faith that all things are possible. When we hold to that thought process we allow the things we want to manifest and obtain to be drawn to us. But we need to remain in that space of positives. Remember as well we just launched off of the Super Moon yesterday so energy can still be intense, keep your emotional state in check and take time to honor and understand why the emotions are up and down today. It is not always the best thing to speak before we think about the situations that surround us today. You have got this, knowing that the Spirit Realm is there surrounding us all with love and guiding us to our goals.
Angels as us Humans call them are Sentient Beings of energy. What is a sentient being? It refers to what a person or spirit can perceive and respond to sensations of sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. The word itself means to “to feel”.
We All see number sequences at one time or another… perhaps in times of need we look for signs that we can push forward through whatever it is that is going on at the time. Perhaps it is reassurance that loved ones that have transitioned are reaching out from the beyond telling us they are near and watching over us. Perhaps even if you believe in Angels it is our Guardians of the Heavens inspiring us to be and do. Whatever those numbers represent many of us both see and accept them as signs from beyond time. Sometimes those numbers even seem to follow you everywhere.
The Numbers can change or can stay the same your entire life. Our very thoughts, goals and needs may even direct them to us. It seems to work alongside the law of attraction as a way to empower each of us to be the best “I Am” that we can be… if we only will listen.
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…”
Blessings to You All,

I am going to do something a little different today, I will share Angel Numbers this week. Angels as us Humans call them are Sentient Beings of energy. What is a sentient being? It refers to what a person or spirit can perceive and respond to sensations of sight, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. The word itself means to “to feel”.
Todays number is 213 Our Family and Friends in Spirit are Helping us to see things from a positive perspective, sharing with and surrounding us with Love. The more we can open and allow that energy to fill and reach our souls, the better results and outcomes will occur in our lives. Today we enter the Full Moon allowing and assisting us to release old negatives and things that tare holding us back from our full potentials. Open to the energy it offers and allow the healing to begin.
So we All see them at one time or another… perhaps in times of need we look for signs that we can push forward through whatever it is that is going on at the time. Perhaps it is reassurance that loved ones that have transitioned are reaching out from the beyond telling us they are near and watching over us. Perhaps even if you believe in Angels it is our Guardians of the Heavens inspiring us to be and do. Whatever those numbers represent many of us both see and accept them as signs from beyond time. Sometimes those numbers even seem to follow you everywhere.
The Numbers can change or can stay the same your entire life. Our very thoughts, goals and needs may even direct them to us. It seems to work alongside the law of attraction as a way to empower each of us to be the best “I Am” that we can be… if we only will listen.
Numbers and Sequences….as I was taught.
Birthdates are often thought to be a loved one letting us know they are well and keeping an eye on you. A simple yet effective way they can communicate with all of us. Whether it is their Birth or Death date or our own Birthdate… it can prove to be a powerful message for sure when receiving this sign.
The Number 1 BELIEVE!!!! In Self and what you are capable of. Perhaps it is time to start a new project or initiate a new venture. It’s time to plant seeds for your future based on an inspired idea.
The Number 2 All about our intuition and not allowing others expectations control us or what we know we are supposed to be doing…responding or feeling at any given time. A good place to reflect on romance, partnership, and love to make sure it is happening for the highest good. It represents self reflection allowing the “I Am” to shine!
The Number 3 Is all about Expressing yourself! Open up to the world around you and enjoy it! Become part of it… Live and Laugh …Love Big… Dance, Who cares what others think time to feed the soul!
The Number 4 All about grounding ourselves. Time to work on our foundations and the core of who we are. All about our Sacred Circles and making sure they are strong and we are balancing in positives…the teachings of Respect, Wisdom, Love, Truth, Honesty, Courage and Humility.
The Number 5 Change …Change…Change! Our lives are all about Change from the moment we are conceived to the moment we transition, we can not escape it so why not embrace it! This is how growth on all levels occurs so instead of fighting it roll with it… and see where it takes you. If it takes you through negativity, deal with it head on to get past it and back to the positive place on your path.
The Number 6 Balance is sought…Balance is needed. We need to balance so that our soul can be at it’s strongest and brightest… so we stay on the path to attain our goals. So take the time to care for self and balance.
The Number 7 Reflection and Meditation is what is needed if you keep seeing 7’s. It is time to take care of self and feed your soul take time out from the everyday chaos of the world around us and let it go.
The Number 8 There are things that are challenging us when we see the number 8… but we need to meet those challenges! Go Big or Go Home as the old saying goes! What doesn’t kill us only to makes us stronger. We have got this! So get it done!
The Number 9 Be gentle with yourself! I often tell people this as it is gentle reminder that we are our own worst critic. Things may be feeling tough, like there is no light at the end of this tunnel… but there is. We must remember we are not Gods we are mere mortals, human with flaws and imperfections. Things will get better we simply have to let go and give it to the Creator God and/or the Universe.
The Number 0 Spiritual in representation of a higher calling, a need for attention to be paid to our spiritual side that may need work or balance. It is also a magnifier for the number preceding it.
The Number 11 Intuition…listen to it! Believe what it is telling and sharing with you. It is not in your mind, but in your tool kit. You are awakened and enlightened so allow it to flow and be in the moment of understanding and comprehension.
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.

Call it what you like, mention Talking board, spirit board or the dreaded Ouija board and people have very strong views on them, but is their reputation justified?
I remember when I was about fourteen years old, and my best friend and I started dabbling in them, we definitely got answers to questions that we had no idea about and subsequently found to be correct, but we both also started having some very scary dreams which made us decide to stop using the board. I say board…it was a piece of wood with letters and numbers drawn on it, nothing very technical. For twenty-five years I refused to ever touch a planchette again, but as my knowledge of the paranormal and spiritual grew, I started to question my decision.
The first time I agreed to go back on one I was on a public event in Drakelow Tunnels ( Kidderminster), and felt I needed to protect one of the other people as she was being drained by an errant spirit – or at least that is how it appeared to me as a then observer. Within minutes I had a pounding headache, a symptom I was to experience on subsequent occasions when looking to contact spirits via the talking board.
But are they evil? Are they a portal to hell? Or are they just a Victorian era parlor game that has been adopted by paranormal enthusiasts as a method of communicating with other worlds?
Robert Murch and the rest of his colleagues at the Talking Board Historical Society have made it their mission to dig into the birth of this “device”, and if you want to delve into the history even more, they are a great resource to visit.
Anyway, back to the board itself, in the 1890’s, the Ouija board appeared for the first time in shops courtesy of Kennard Novelty Co, costing $1.50 ( based on an inflation calculator, around $43 in 2020 money) . They had got the inspiration for the “toy” from the very popular spiritualist movement that was everywhere in the 19th century. Many may wonder why communing with the dead was apparently so acceptable in a time which is seen to be historically, quite pious, but with the average lifespan being around fifty years on average and child mortality being distressingly high – not to mention the destruction that war could bring – it is no wonder that if people felt they could talk to their lost loved ones again that they would.
What I found really interesting when researching for this is the commonly held belief as to why it is called “Ouija”, with Oui translating to yes in French and Ja, the same in German, but I have found that this is perhaps not accurate. Apparently it was the board itself that wanted to be named as such, after a séance was conducted by one of the founding businessmen Elijah Bond, and the board came up with the name itself telling the audience that it meant “Good luck”. It has to be said, that even this may not be strictly true as there are also accounts of Bond’s sister in law, a Medium by the name of Helen Peters who is said to have had a vision of what the board should be called, the resultant word being “Ouija”.
In the interests of objectivity, I do have to mention the other theory as to what a Talking Board actually is, and that is nothing more than the effect of something known as the Ideomotor Effect. This is basically microscopic muscle movements that are made involuntarily, and it is in fact the individuals sub conscious mind influencing the planchette. Someone may argue how would the brain know the answers to questions that a person could not give themselves? I would counter that with the fact that scientists believe we use such a tiny percentage of our cerebral capacity, who knows what else it is capable of?
I said at the beginning of this article that opinions on this particular piece of equipment tends to be very polarizing. I saw a piece on one of the social media sites where a board had been found buried in a wall, responses varied from “Wow! What a find, probably an antique! “ to “Burn it, it’s evil”. The interesting thing is however, that those people who are vehemently against using a talking board do not seem to be willing to listen to views of other exponents of the paranormal.
One of the best “warnings” I was given however was that using a Ouija board or similar is no different to chatting to someone online who you have never met, they may say that they are a thirty-five-year-old mother of two with the same interests as you, but do you ever know that for sure…
For what it is worth, even though I have had negative experiences from using one of these, how is it any different to communing with a spirit via a Spirit box? Or an Ovilus? Surely opening a channel of communication with the spirit world carries the same risks regardless of the medium (if you pardon the pun) that you use?.
So what Truth is it that you are not wanting to face and deal with in order to move forward on your path? That is what the Orca shares with us today. Although it is true at times we need to be Guardians of our Emotional Self, that does not mean that we allow the stuff we do not want to look at and deal with to become the anchor that is keeping us in the same spot instead of moving ahead. Time to grow up “Buttercup” and face the demons of the deep emotional pools in which we swim and hide. The Orca will assist us in navigating through the muck and swimming freely again in the open waters of our lives.
Fears need to be set aside for you are wasting too much by feeding them, if you face them they tend to dissipate into an abyss of nothingness, allowing a balance for us again. This is something we need to do every now and then… clean out our proverbial closets especially if it is stuff that is causing clutter in our lives. Stop romanticizing about things…people…issues…that no longer serve the highest good for the soul and its journey. Breathe, Swim and rejoice in the freedom of all that is Sacred within the Great Hoop!
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.

Okay so this is the most frequent question I get asked… and I am simply going to give you the response….”We don’t choose our totems. Our totems choose us!” This is one of the first basic concepts of Totems.
Totems are hard to explain at times, but what we need to understand is what a totem is before we can comprehend what it means to follow their teachings. Once we understand the concept, it helps us to learn the messages they then have to offer and teach us.
A totem shows up to us as a spiritual sign or entity. They come to share and teach the knowledge they hold to help and assist us with our own lives, how to relate to others and the world around us. Totems are not worshiped, we follow the teachings they offer, we incorporate the way they deal with life into our own to help us move in positive steps on our paths. We don’t control them and often it is difficult to explain our draw or affinity to them… yet there is a deep connection inside of us that responds to them when the show up in our lives. Why we ask ourselves… because it simply is.
Walking with a totem will put certain disciplines in place for us that are not always easy to walk. The knowledge and lessons they share with us are rather set as goals to be like or a way of life to aspire to. They come in many forms and will often show up at just the right time in our lives, and sometimes they will walk with us our entire life cycle, keeping spiritual watch over us. They will show up in our lives as an animal we are drawn to, such as a wolf, a bear, an eagle, lion or elephant, a tiger.
People often ask what is my animal totem? How do I know if I have one? My reply is to open yourself up to the possibilities, look around your life at the pictures or items you collect, we all have them whether it is a honey bee or a bear, a snake or a turtle…. They are all there to share with us wisdom that will help enrich our life and challenge our souls to grow into the positives that are possible. Teaching us to cope, deal, create and live happy and productive lives.
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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Today Fire sweeps in reminding us we have to take responsibility for our footsteps on our paths. Outcomes positive or negative are not because others made us, or others did this or that and prevented us… they are about us having made choices. This is not a judgement by any means, it is a simple truth. We do not always want to be the responsible party. Well guess what buttercup… until we do we don’t get to move forward. We simply stay stuck in the same ole same ole… in the never ending loop of what does not serve our highest good.
So stop whining about it and do something proactive about it. Step into life with that fire that burns within and allow it to burn out the cycles of negativity and chaos in our lives to start fresh in the understanding that we control how things affect us… we choose what we say and do…
Fire is all about passion, drive, creation and motivation that steps out in our lives. The Elemental Fire ignites within us sheer will and determination to get the job done. It not only represents our own souls light but is about the Divine Fire that is within each of us. Fire has a place both here in the physical Earth plane and secondly in the spiritual one. Fire is powerful and needs to be understood when using it, both physically and spiritually.
The Elemental of Fire can assist you with standing in your own power. It will assist you in manifestation as you move forward in positives to your goals. It requires us to tend and feed it as flame begins to dwindle. We need to use caution with Fire as it can consume us, yet it has balance and can also share light and heat. It shines and dances leaping into the air bringing light to the darkness, and thus balance. It sings out for us to dance, listen to the drum of our own heartbeats, and share in the magic that Fire brings about.
Today is about following your instincts, channeling the inner fire to get the job done. Fire ignites the extreme within us to trust that ancient wisdom that is in our genetic DNA urging us to listen to the little voice within, stop second guessing yourself and get done what is needed. For at the end of the day, there will be much to show for having done just that. Allow it to not only inspire you, but those around you! Just remember when it is evident in your life, the Elemental Fire needs to have balance and work with what is around the our life circles in a positive manner.
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… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other

Eagle stops in today in the seventh card dropped spot reminding us we are loved and heard from all that is and will be. Today is meant to be a reflective day, one about what it is we are setting as our goals, affirmations, what positives can we set in place today. It can be a small gesture or it can be something bigger, that is for each of us to choose. Try to avoid the negatives people set about in place around our lives today… instead simply let them pass with out thought or a glance. Why waste good energy on things that do not resonate with us?
Eagle says today talk to the Universe, Creator God, to our Spiritual Side and ask for assistance that we can get to be stronger, better, so that we may heal or even become the person we are meant to be. Whatever choices you make today know that we are all loved with all our flaws, with all our missteps no matter what… we all walk and learn as students and teachers. Simply remember to keep moving forward and embrace yourd=self with all the wonderful imperfections you carry with you … for that is the definition of perfection in my book!
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 wisdom that has 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.
Eagleswith 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!
