card 1 crocodile 1122
Friday the 13th!!!! My Favorite Day!So NOTHING to be scared about, it will be a great day so take advantage of the energies. As the crocodile wades into the waters close to you, people will see your light, your strength and appreciate that you are in charge of your world today! Old energy rises to the surface to help remind you of the confidence and strengths that you posses. Today is a day to get it done! Finish up those projects, complete the ideas and make them reality! it is a fantastic time to test the waters of relationships of all kinds, the stars line up and the energies are pushing positives through.

So with the Crocodiles ancient wisdom’s at your beck and call today, explore what is possible and enjoy the day!

The Crocodile is one of the oldest creatures and has been around for ions. The wisdom and survival skill it has taken for them to live through centuries of change is something we should look closely at as they are here to teach us as human as well. Crocodile teaches us sometimes we need to reach deep within to our primal energy, things that are instinctive to move through our paths. It speaks to us of our breathing patterns to take time to take that deep breath in order to bring balance to our minds and bodies.

Crocodile is a protector and keeper of All Knowledge. So it is time to tap into what it is we need in order to inspire, manifest and walk our dreams and ambitions. Remember patience and to allow yourself time to adapt to change that may show up in your life at this time. It is a time of growth and regeneration. It is time to expand and use what you instinctively know for emotional healing, for self and perhaps even to those that you may encounter in your days.

Crocodile speaks to knowing when to roll with what life throws at us, when to show patience, when to dig deep and when it is time to wallow in mud to allow healing and regeneration, transformation to bring about healing and a new part to our journeys.

Honor your soul’s journey, from other lifetimes into our current path and continuing on as we gather energies and knowledge moving forward in positives to experience life in many forms.

November 12, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Owl

card 22 Owl 1122
Today Owl tells us that we need to hone into our own acute awareness of life beyond what it appears at first glance. It is all about tuning in to what is important to understand and see. Upon first glance we can miss things that are important, little nuances that can be game changers, or tell a completely different story. So in a way today isn’t about he said- she said…. it’s about the important truths in the middle.

So go sit in a spot and observe what is really going on and cut through the illusions. Owl is a very strong allies to all of us of we allow them to share the gifts they possess, representing spiritual balance between Light and Dark. They are Messengers, so we need to be open to what they have to say and teach for they have flown a long way to deliver the Ancestors words.

Owl brings both Magical and Spiritual with it’s presence. Always Sacred to me, and to be revered by all. It shares with us the Great Mystery and all that is to be understood in life as we walk the human path. Teaching us to be open and see with wonderment the life that is around us, interacting with us, sharing with us, part of us even in the smallest of ways. In return showing us how we can impact it all in return. To keep our eyes open in even in what we may perceive as dark times, for that glimmer of hope and light to shine through.

Remember to fly beyond and look at the larger picture so better to plan ahead how to approach situations, people or the journey itself. It teaches us to use our intuition and deep connections with wisdom that has been seeded deep within our souls.

If he has showed up in your life today… perhaps you need to look closer for the hidden truths.

November 11, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – the Dreamcatcher

The Dreamcatcher was thrown this morning as a reminder for us to filter out the negatives of the day, and allow only the positive to filter through. We are capable of doing just that if we stop and bring it to the fore front of our minds. Why is it that we are so often driven to sit and watch, listen and/or participate in the ugly things in life? Gossip, hate, negativity that spreads like a disease have become so much a part of the world around us that it is easy to get sucked into it all. But today we need to begin to set up our boundaries, our protection, our three foot hoop of Sacred space. It needs to be understood that negativity no longer lives and breeds within our circles.

So like the Dreamcatcher, place your web around your life… allow yourself to dream big, dream good things.. allowing the positives to enter your life in order to strengthen your foundations of your futures.

The Dreamcatcher is known to many far and wide. It is a part of the Native American culture that captivates the world. But for many of us it is a reminder of a gift given to us in return for holding a life as Sacred and protecting it.

The story goes that a spider was quietly spinning her web in her own space. It was beside the sleeping space of Nokomis, the grandmother. Each day, Nokomis watched the spider at work, quietly spinning away. One day as she was watching her, her grandson came in. “Nokomis-iya!” he shouted, glancing at the spider. He stomped over to the spider, picked up a shoe and went to hit it.

“No-keegwa,” the old lady whispered, “don’t hurt her.”
“Nokomis, why do you protect the spider?” asked the little boy.

The old lady smiled, but did not answer. When the boy left, the spider went to the old woman and thanked her for saving her life. She said to her, “For many days you have watched me spin and weave my web. You have admired my work. In return for saving my life, I will give you a gift.”
She smiled her special spider smile and moved away, spinning as she went.

Soon the moon glistened on a magical silvery web moving gently in the window. “See how I spin?” she said. “See and learn, for each web will snare bad dreams. Only good dreams will go through the small hole. This is my gift to you. Use it so that only good dreams will be remembered. The bad dreams will become hopelessly entangled in the web.”

So allow the negatives of life to become entangled in the web of life, and let only the good and positives to enter so that you will walk in a good light as you move forward in your journeys.

November 10, 2015 Totem Card of the Day – Bear

card 24 bear 1122

Bear steps in today to tell you that although hibernation is near, there is still preparations to be done so get on to getting them done! Although most of us are probably ready to dig in and chill in our caves, especially with the holiday seasons so close, and winter just around the corner… there is still much work we need to do. Think of the bear for a moment, they are preparing for that sleep,setting things in place for that hibernation time, eating and storing what will be needed int he time ahead. Getting all in place so that when the spring thaw is here they are ready to get to getting!.

We need to do the same. Prepare for what we want and need to happen, become, be as the springtime begins to bloom. We want positives, so it is time to clean the cave, set aside things that we no longer need, and stack the deck with what we do need and desire. It may even feel like someone is pushing you to get things accomplished, or that you feel a bit frazzled because time is short… well guess what? You would be right, the Universe is saying, “Set Your House to Order and bring Balance to your Sacred Hoops!” No more excuses, it is time! Plenty of Hibernation time ahead…

Bear is all about fertility (creative and manifestation), instinct, protection and solitude. Those that walk with Bear are often somewhat reclusive requiring a great deal of personal space to renew and create. Bear people will often “disconnect” for awhile as they pursue projects becoming deeply involved in what they are working on. Deeply protective and territorial, Bear also is extremely loyal and dependable.

Bear teaches us when healing of any sort is needed to use that time for introspective work in order to grow Spiritually, Emotionally, Mentally and find answers to problems within yourself. Travel deep into your soul find the purpose in your own path and journey and walk ahead in positive steps.

Bear shares with us that in this time hibernation is not only good but needed, yet respect our natural hibernation cycle and remember to reawaken in the spring, in doing so awaken the potential within ourselves and the power of our unconscious mind.

Bear teaches us there is a time for playfulness and a time to be assertive, and perhaps a time for both in balance.

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.

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!
