Trust In All You've Become

Deck drawn to: Native American Oracle (3) OTTER ~ Transformation Otter represents play and fun, and the unique sense of wonder and openness that comes with true play, a space where make believe is real and all possibilities exist. As both a terrestrial and aquatic creature, Otter is very shamanic and also connected to the mysterious Moon, changeable and exciting. Just as laughter is the best medicine, water as well as play is connected with healing, and so is the spirit of the Otter. Otter moves apparently effortlessly from one state to another, a master of transformation. Hence, oftentimes healing mojo bags have been made from Otter skins. The pumpkin is a symbol of rapid growth. (9) STURGEON ~ Wisdom Some say that Sturgeon lived alongside dinosaurs, explaining their incredible resilience and ability to do what is necessary for survival. Sturgeon is therefore a symbol of liberty, individualism, and knowledge that is gained through time. Shown with Sturgeon is the Mongwikoro, or ritual water jug, with a pointed bottom that could be such in the ground. In ritual, the bearer had to perform complex movements and follow many preparatory rules in order to ensure the success of the ritual. This reflects Sturgeons swimming up-stream in order to ensure the continuation of the species. (13) ELK ~ Stamina Elk are powerful creatures with lots of different medicine. Elk can run for a long time. They have both speed and agility, which sometimes belies their strength and size. Elk teaches us about stamina and reminds us to choose our tasks carefully and conserve your energy for only what really needs to be done. Once a goal is set, then stick with it and be persistent until the goal is achieved. Although Elk can run fast, he also knows, instinctively, how to pace himself do that he can finish what he started. The Taweya is a magical shield that allowed the Shaman to travel through air, similar to the "magical" way in which Elk knows how to reach his destination. ~ <3 ~ So please take time for yourself today to dive into the healing waters of play and explore to find new ways of being. Drink lots of blessed water, or charge it with your crystals. Always listen to your soul and follow it's wisdom, no matter how hard or nonsensical it seems. There is ancient wisdom that dwells within your heart that makes no sense to your modern mind, break old patterns, think outside the box, perhaps go against the current of others knowing you have magical knowledge within provided by your ancestors for you to access. Keep taking one step at a time with all else that is required for you to do and keep moving until you've finished, the play and laughter advised above will keep the strength within your stamina, allow the blessed water to nourish your every cell and purify you of any toxins. How to bless your water: Intention is everything, I like to keep things simple, so within my head I bless the water with the light within me, then proceed to bless it from the 4 sacred directions (north, east, south and west) I send pure loving intentions into my water and ask that Archangel Michael assists me in using this blessed water to purify and cleanse me if all that doesn't serve my greatest good, I draw the Suns energy into the water to aid any required healing and to nourish every cell of my vessel also. This with little practice takes moments and becomes routine within a month of regular practice. Should you feel to put crystal energy in your water filter many use Rose quartz, shungite and it tourmaline. I also like to on occasion call upon etheric crystals energy, herbs, vitamins, minerals that I may instinctively know I am short of.
