So, Santa is a shaman - Let’s dig into the meaning of the age-old traditions that were, and some still are celebrated around Christmas time. At the same time, we will discard the consumerism and commercialism that surround Christmas today.

Deep Diver – Diving into a Task
Life is a series of steps. A series of adventures, and change. You have been playing in the shallow water, where everyone can see the opportunities and shiny bright diamonds. Those easy gifts have been harvested by yourself and others.
It is time for you to go to the deeper water. Immerse yourself in deeper, darker water. This is a place where you cannot see the bottom; you have to trust that Sprit will take care of you and not allow you to drown.
You will have work to do, diving deep and using your intuition to find pearls of success and the gifts of deep water, this takes time and effort.
It takes confidence and assurance in your intuition and other gifts you have acquired so far in life. If you follow your intuition and apply your confidence, you will be amazed at the gifts that come to you.
Fools Embrace – Transmuting Pain
No matter where you are on the scale of pain caused by something that has ended; a relationship, a friendship, a workplace that no longer needs you, or a loss of a pet, now is the time not to hold on to it. Not allow the pain to be part of the emotional luggage you carry with you like a tattoo.
Let go. Learn from it. Make the learning and the lesson be part of you from now on, not the pain.
Look up, open up, be confident and happy in the sun light. As one door closes, another opens they say. Sometimes the new door is open and waiting for you, sometimes it is closed but will open if you knock on it.
What next?
I hope you enjoyed the podcast. Please take a moment to click the link in these show notes to find out more about my books, Online Courses, and social media. Visit my website and sign up for newsletters and join my Private Facebook Page for more content.

Beloved – Radical Acceptance
Do not hold back. Do not stall or put the message aside. You are being asked to commit totally to something, a person, a business venture, a project. Or, something creative.
Recognize that what you are giving your undivided attention to a mirror of yourself.
That mirror will show both the good and bad in you. Remember, in the Ying and Yang symbol, in the heart of the white half is a small amount of blackness and in the black half, there is a small amount of white.
Do not allow yourself to be persuaded to follow a path or give yourself to something that is not best for you. Be true to yourself and do not allow that part of you that sabotages your hopes, and desires any ability to take from you what the universe is gifting to you.
Empty Well – Time to Replenish
An empty well is a “Dry Well.” There is nothing in it, no water to drink, no water to help plants grow. It is time to move on and let spirit guide you to what is next in your life.
It is time for you to leave whatever situation, place, or people that no longer give you anything, no longer like or help you. Your soul is a bright light and you need to use it to figure out where your future is and engage with that.
Move on!

Overflow – Overwhelm and Plenty
There is no doubt to this. A lot of abundance and good things are coming to you. Perhaps too many for you to believe in. Have no doubt, overflowing abundance is coming and will be there soon.
What you do not want to do is place constraints and restrictions on it. This is the problem with many vision boards. You want a new car, you have hopes, and desires on what will manifest but you place restrictions on it by the make, model and colour.
Accept what comes and do not try to change it.
When you receive a gift from the universe, there may be a feeling of disappointment rather than happiness. You need to release expectations so you may truly appreciate and be grateful for what is in front of you.
Focus on your personal universe, where and what you can manage yourself and believe in you. Let spirit take care of the bigger picture and the gifts appropriate to you for what you are doing now.
Jewelled Web – Connectivity
The message connects with the card from March 4th: “Spirit of the River – Movement Toward Adventure” from last week.
Do not be too narrow in focusing your hopes, dreams, and desires. Be open to new ideas, opportunities and a new reality that is right for you. Be in the moment and let life speak to you and help you experience the new and different. Think about not focusing on the struggles and turmoil of the journey and correcting what you believe is wrong.
Focus instead on the belief that you are where you need to be and that that place has everything you need and hopped for. Think about how that will feel and how you will enjoy it all. Practise the feeling and assuring yourself that what you feel is in fact, reality.

Spirit of the River – Movement Toward Adventure
This message speaks to the need for you to step back from your habit of trying to fix things that are no longer part of your life. A friendship that has ended does not need your attention. There was a reason for it, learn from that, do not try to reignite something that has gone and should remain so. Step back and go with the flow of your life and its natural events.
Be open to new adventures, new people, places, work, friendships, and love. What you find in the “new” may not be what you expect, not what you believe you need or deserve. But what you find there is right for you and will develop into something wonderful.
Let yourself change and evolve as you move to the next phase, the next part of your spiritual journey.
The Wall - Obstacles
This card speaks in part to the previous card.
As you move through life, you can plan, hope, and strive to achieve something new and what you think is better. When you hit a wall that stops you from moving forward and manifesting what you planned, there is puzzlement and frustration.
This is a message to stop and reconsider the path you are trying to follow through life. Is what you have planned right and will bring you happiness and manifest your goals? Have you considered all the options, all the possibilities.
Have you considered that you are intended to do something else in this life? Life goes through cycles and you are asked to stop and consider whether there is a cycle which has ended and that you should not try to restart it?
Is there a new and different path open to you which you have not paid attention to but which will give you more happiness and manifest more of your goals than you could imagine? Look around!

Closing Door
The last week of the month and another message of completion and ending, being open to change and what it brings you.
A door closing is a literal and figurative message. Literal in that something that no longer serves you should not be pursed. If you are at the end with a job, a relationship, a friendship, you are being told, not asked, to close the door on that part of your life and walk away.
The closing door is also a message to stop trying to open a door that is closed to you. The past is a closed door, take the learnings from it and move on. The door you are knocking on may be closed to you because what is behind it is not meant for you. Stop trying to open it! Move on.
There are lessons to be learned from a closed door. As you recognize the door is closed consider what you have learned, the energy you will save by walking away turn around and find a new way, a new job, a new relationship. The gift to you is to save your energy and be invigorated by what comes into your life now.
Dreamweaver
Dreams, your creative mind is dreaming. Are your dreams of the past, the present, or the future? Time is limitless and in that the past, present and future are all one. But you need to understand this, and recognize the truth of it.
Use your intuition, to connect with and learn from your ancestors, and your past life experiences. The information in your dreams… not just the dreams themselves, will help you understand and manifest the good things in your dreams.
If you dream of a new relationship, one that makes you happy and will last with you for your life, you have to understand what it is about you in that dream relationship that is different from what you are now.
As the previous card described, things are changing and doors close, that should be closed. You need to understand your dreams and hopes and what you need to change to help the dreams become reality.
As you think about this, you will also see why you are on the Earthly plain and what your life purpose is.

Birds
We are only in the second month of the year but it may have already been tiring and exhausting. When you look up, you see the birds and hope passionately that your hopes will soar like them. If you are near water, you can watch them swooping and enjoying the breezes moving from water to land, and back again.
Your soul is like a caged bird. The stress of living the way you are is the cage denying you freedom.
Spring means new life and new possibilities beckon you to believe. If you are to welcome new experiences, people and manifest your hopes and dreams, memories and experiences you are carrying must leave you. You cannot, must not carry the past with you like luggage or an old suit of clothes.
The past burdens you and makes it difficult for everything new this year to enter your life. Look up and smile, welcome the sun, welcome the new life around you in what will soon be spring.
If you live in a part of the world where you can open windows and let fresh air into your home, do so. This breath of fresh air is the literal breath of new air that you need to breathe. If you cannot open your home because of the weather. Bundle up and go for a walk in a park or near a lake.
The new air in your lungs, its freshness and energy, will motivate you to spread your wings and seize new opportunities. Do not hesitate. When you walk and breathe resolve to be prepared to speak your truth when things get difficult. Spring is a wonderful time but it also brings challenges that help you change, being truthful to yourself at this time is important to your life path through this year.
The cage the past can create for your soul includes bars that prevent you from speaking your truth. Your honesty is locked away because you fear that what you have to say may not be well received. This confines you and makes you a follower. It takes away your power. Resolve to take back your power and express yourself to the world in your own way on your own terms.
Dust Devil
Another message of change within you, your evolution, and growth.
If you have been fighting change, now is the time to stop and embrace the changes you have been holding at bay. When you hold on to the past, the way things have always been done you waste energy. You become tired and may become bitter that you are being made to change.
You are not intended to hold on to the old and familiar just because it is familiar and comfortable.
In your heart you need to consider new ways to love. You are destined to be with a companion, you are destined not to be alone, but you need to be open to the difference a new partner brings you.
In the same way you become open to a new companion, you need to be open to a new life path, what you do for a living, whom you make friends with.
This is the third week of February and the message of change and being true to yourself and what you want or need to do in life is clear. You need to follow it.

Bells
Shamans use the sound of bells to ward off evil spirits and dark or lower energies who seek to hurt or damage a person’s soul. In some regions of Siberia, Shamans have a staff made of iron to which bells and other pieces of metal are attached that make a metallic rattling as they walk about.
Bells may ring loudly, or be quite mild in tone, yet the meaning is the same for the person ringing the bells or the evil spirits being warned to leave. By tradition, the person ringing the bells is silent. This focuses the attention of the dark spirits on them.
This is a time to ward off dark spirits trying to damage you or your dreams and intentions. Stay silent and to not let those around you know your intentions, hopes, and goals. In the work space, this can be co-workers who are competing with you for a promotion, or some other advancement or recognition.
Bells may also refer to warning bells intended to warn people away from a truth that someone does not want to share with you or others. Pay attention to the sound of the bells and how intensely they ring and who is silent where they ring the bells. This may lead you to understand what is hidden or where the truth is.
Consider that walking away is not the worst you can do. Negativity and hidden truths drain you and your essential energies. You do not need to suffer that. Do not help others embroiled in dark energies. They will drain your energies while trying to help themselves.
Shamans use bells to clear spaces and people during ceremonies. Clear your space, your home, your vehicle and your workspace. As you do so, allow the sound of the bells to raise your own spiritual vibration. This will not only help your understanding of shamanism; it will shed the negative energies and allow continue to grow and prosper materially and spiritually in life.
Heart Home
Heart home is your quiet place. It is the place where you can rest and reconnect with your inner self. This is a message of peace and reconnection with your essence.
Life brings many stresses and change is always a constant, disrupting the present and offering new opportunities and direction.
A short time in that quiet space is what you need. You need to return to that space where you can regroup, reconnect, and see a different direction, or change the emphasis of your direction.
It is important to take this message to heart.
You have free will and can ignore it, but if you do, the universe may create a situation which is more disruptive and difficult for you to force you to change. You have a choice, act now or be forced to act later.

Lost Compass
You have lost your life path. You have lost connection with your essential self.
This card is a message to follow your intuition, not anyone’s instructions so that you reconnect with your inner essence. If you have been following what you think you should be, how you should behave, how you should look, what you should have, discard it all now because that is not the inner you.
It is time to follow your inner compass, your inner voice.
True North is always North, it is a direction and state of mind that gives you balance and a direction that is always detectable by a simple $1 compass.
When you work to regain your inner sense of direction, remember, going back to the way you were before you lost your sense of self is not the objective. As you travel back to your authentic self, you see opportunities to follow a new life path. Be open to the opportunities and take the one that speaks to your intuition.
Altar
Shamans prepare and maintain an altar of meaningful spiritual items that help and sustain them in connecting with their helping spirits, animal guides and ancestors. What is on the altar is special and unique to them. There is no formula for what must be present. Each shaman is unique to him or herself.
If you were to create a space, an altar on which you could place things that have meaning in your life, what would be there? What is you are carrying with you in your mind that could be brought out and displayed?
When you look at the space, you have created and the things placed on there, what will be represented? Something from Mother Earth, from Spirit, from a family member, from a friend. How will your physical and spiritual journey in this life be represented?
Include something that represents the essence of the shaman within you. Things that speak to the essential essence of your life. A crystal represents Mother Earth, a red candle for fire, incense stick for air, aa blue candle for water. A small mirror for spirit.
The altar becomes a thank you and expression of gratitude for your life so far and for what is to come. This expression is both an act of appreciation for the past, and the present, it is a moment of reflection on how the things on your altar relate to your future.
By honouring that which has created you, you will be calling into your life the very things that will help guide you through that which has disrupted your compass and help you back on your life path.

Focus & Deep Quiet
Focus
This is a time of focus. Focus on what you want to achieve on what needs action and consistency.
At work, when we have a task, we need to complete or needs great attention they say we have blinders on. The blinders prevent us from seeing side to side, up and down, we see only the task that needs to be completed.
Blinders help prevent us from diversions and things that do not move our project forward. Diversions may come in many forms, an opportunity that does not benefit us. Over indulgence in looking back at where we have come from to the now. But now is not the focus of our attention, focus should be on where we are going.
Above all do not allow the diversion of comments and criticism of others drag you away from your direction. It is not selfish to pay attention to you! Pay attention to you! Now!
Deep Quiet
With all this talk of change and focus, you also need to slow down and seek that inner peace of true quiet. It is the time before dawn when the world is at its quietest. Seek this quiet within you and embrace it.
If you do not accept this moment of quiet, meditation and stillness, recognize how important it to slow down and rest. Life will do it for you with illness, and other ways to make you stop, for a moment, just stop.
If you take a pause now, you will see how the world can continue on without you and your efforts to manage it.

Acceptance & Falling Angel
Acceptance
Appetence is the starting point from which we can move forward. If change is inevitable, we need to know from where and what we are changing.
Fully accepting our current situation and our inner soul allows to see the options for change and the future.
The past is gone, done, and dusted. We cannot go back. Well, yes, I guess you could but why would you? If a relationship has ended, a job no longer requires you, why would you try and rekindle a closed relationship or apply for a portion back at the business you left?
Accepting your current situation allows you to see what could come next. Be clear about what inside of you is driving you to make change, and then be accepting of changes you had not planned for but are sent from the universe.
Falling Angel
This card is the flip side of Acceptance. If we accept the place we are in and who we are, we must also prepare for change, we can also be casual in our thoughts and deeds which may lead to disruption, and a fall from where and what we have achieved.
Don’t take it for granted that life will proceed unchanged, it never will. There will always be change and disruption to our lives and our spirit. Be careful to continue flying above the ground and not fall and hit it. Be always awake and conscious of what is around you.
Change will come and it will be sent by spirit and the universe. You will see it clearly, if you are awake and aware of life. Open your eyes!

The Unexpected
They say change is a constant in life. What is certain in life is that the unexpected will occur. You should always be prepared for the unexpected. And if it does not show up, then at least you will have some benefit from what you did to prepare for the unexpected. In this case a person from the past may reappear unexpectedly.
The Unexpected are the things in life we wish for but never feel will appear. The major win on a lottery, a new car, a new relationship, a relationship that moves from “friend” to lover.
This is your time too prey and wish for that miracle to manifest.
No matter how much you try and plan and protect yourself from the unexpected, be accepting of it when it appears.
Sky Dancers – Surrender
This card speaks to the eternal confrontation of your logical, egoic mind, your soul, your spirt, and your intuition.
A common trait of the logical and egoic mind is over analysis, or repeated analysis of a situation or situations over which you have no control. The over analysis becomes tiring and stressful. It drains you of your ability to work, love and even take care of yourself.
The more energy you give to these thoughts the more often they surface and confront you with options and solutions that are ever more extreme and disconnected and the cycle swirls faster and faster.
This grounds you. You lose the will and desire to create and become more than you are. You are repeating the same worries and concerns over and over again while hoping and expecting for a different outcome.
Stop overthinking and release, surrender to the divine feminine.
Sky Dancers asks you to give up on your plodding, grounded worries that cannot be resolved and form a new relationship with yourself.
This new relationship with yourself allows you to stand above the worries and cares of the logical mind. Look down, and back on the old self that worried and struggled trying to solve problems and feelings to which solutions could not be found.
Remember, you can change yourself, how you see, think, act, and the emotions within yourself not those in others and do not allow yourself to be driven by what you cannot change.

The Masculine & Will-of-the-Wisp
The Masculine
Your life needs a leader, and the only one who has a right to lead is you!
This is the time to take leadership of your life and not simply drift along like a toy boat on a stream.
Step forward, step up to be a leader in your own life. No more following others without question. It does not matter what your gender is. Use the masculine rights of strength, vitality and decision making.
To have these traits needs care and attention to your body, your health and your diet. You cannot hope to be leader of your body if you sick and ill. Health and fitness is the rock on which your leadership needs to be based.
Will-of-the-Wisp
This is a call to accept the offer of change. Maybe change you cannot see clearly but you are certain it means not continuing with the familiar, the tried-and-true expression of your life to date.
Change is always about uncertainty and disruption of what we are comfortable with. Think of the other cards drawn for this week, Abundance and Fruition. They had a message that was very close to Will-of-the-Wisp but from a different perspective.
Now is the time to reconsider whether you will accept the offer of change and something new or continue what you are comfortable with? Ask yourself why you consider remaining with the tried-and-true and not accepting of change.

Abundance, Fruition & Will-of-the-Wisp
Abundance
Now is the time to look around you and your life and recognise and be grateful for the abundance you have received from life and existence.
There are cycles in the natural world that deeply affect the people who live in the world. The biggest cycles are abundance and famine.
It was during the good times, when hunting was good, when the crops were abundant that the ancient people prepared for times when things would not be so good. Animal skins were made into warm clothing and crops were harvested and stored in jars in the ground. All that was abundant was protected from predators.
The message is to look around you now and recognise and be grateful for the abundance you have and be prepared to keep it and secure it against loss.
Fruition
Fruition is about gathering the bounty of what you have planted. What you have planted could be anything, crops, relationships and investments. Even if you do not harvest now, be aware of how it has grown, is growing, and what it will soon become.
Decide what you will do with the harvest you see before you. But, be careful. All the work you have put in to creating this abundance is taxing on your body. You have worked hard, now is the time to rest and recuperate rather than challenge yourself even more. Be careful with yourself, be prepared to heal and regain the strength you have given away in pursuit of creating your abundance.
Will-of-the-Wisp
This is a call to accept the offer of change. Maybe change you cannot see clearly but you are certain it means not continuing with the familiar, the tried-and-true expression of your daily life.
Change is always about uncertainty and disruption of what we are comfortable with. Think of the other cards drawn for this week, Abundance and Fruition. They had a message that was very close to Will-of-the-Wisp but form a different perspective.

Benefactor – Grace and Generosity
Do you recall the saying “as you give, so will you receive?”
In many ways we give to others around us. Being a friend and a listening ear to the worries and concerns of another can mean more than you know.
Being a good pet parent by making sure your animal companion has medication when needed, good food to eat, clean water to drink, and a warm safe place to sleep is part of what you give to the world.
Never stop giving.
The Benefactor arrives to affirm that so as you give, so will you receive. In receiving, be open to receive from the universe, from spirit, in any form the gift is sent. Your gift may not be immediately recognizable. It may be in a form you do not expect.
The gift from the universe, from spirit will probably not be in the form you expect, almost certainly not be, just as you do not recognise the gifts you give to others. Accept the gift as it is given because it is tailored for you in the here and now. Do not set boundaries and expectations on what you are looking for.
So, keep your eyes and ears open, always be ready to receive.

Galactic Mushroom – The Divine Matrix
A mushroom is the above-ground expression of the mycelium network below that connects many different and diverse living things. You are part of life and all living things, what you say and do is like the mushroom, an expression of all that you have learned and experienced through this life so far.
As you express yourself through thoughts, actions, and deeds, you are communicating to the Divine Matrix of life your hopes, plans, and intent. Trust that what you are hoping and wishing for, will come to fruition in the physical world that you can touch and use.
Be open to the connections and growth that comes from others around you. Shed connections that are exhausting, dark, and drain you of your will to connect with others.
Be confident that even if you cannot see how you connect to others and the Divine, you will be able to soon.
Trying too hard to manifest what you hope and wish for exhausts you and takes energy away from you. Know that the universe, the Divine, is working at its own pace even if you are trying too hard to make it happen now.

Sky Bridge – Possibility for Union
Life is a journey, each of us experiences life and its opportunities and challenges differently.
You are at a cross roads, a fork in the road, a trail with many different tracks, a series of doors behind which are opportunities and more possibilities. You have to make a choice to take one of the forks in the road, or open one of the doors.
The card shows a bridge ascending to a bright sunny future, will you walk up the steps to that future?
Try to recognise the difference between your plans and preparation to be ready and your actual state of readiness.
As each of us experiences life in a different way, hold on to a positive outlook and move forward to the path, the door, you have chosen. Let the universe and spirit take care of the details of your path and your life experience.
Be open to change and the newness of what appears when you have made your choice and let yourself move forward with purpose, acceptance, and grace.

So, Santa, is a shaman—Let’s dig into the meaning of the age-old traditions that were, and still are celebrated around Christmas time. Let’s discard the consumerism and commercialism that surrounds Christmas today.
Winter Solstice — the shortest day of the year. Perhaps the one thing that stands out about this day is the televised celebration of the Solstice by Druids at Stone Henge in England.
The scientific explanation for the Winter and Summer Solstices is the way the earth travels around the sun. The earth does not travel around the sun in a circular orbit, it is elliptical. At the same time, the earth does not rotate exactly on its axis, like a spinning top it oscillates back and forth resulting in it tilting away from the sun during part of the year, and towards it at other times.
At the Winter Solstice in December, December 20th or 21st, we have the shortest day of the year; in the northern hemisphere, this is when the earth is tilted away from the Sun, the Sun is lower in the sky, and the hemisphere receives the least sunlight, and least warmth.
At the Summer Solstice in on June 20th or 21st, we have the longest day of the year; in the northern hemisphere, this is when the earth is tilted towards the Sun, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the hemisphere receives the most sunlight, and most warmth for a longer period of time.
The vernal equinox on March 20th marks the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, Spring starts September 22nd or 23rd. At the vernal Equinox, the days and nights are equal in length.
At the Winter Solstice, the sun appears to be stationary in the sky for three days because the sun rises to the same point in the sky three days in a row. Something the sun does not do at any other time.
The sun appearing to be stationary at the Winter Solstice represents the dying king or Sun God. This should not be confused with it disappearing at night. In Egyptian mythology the sun dies at sunset and is reborn at dawn, which is not what we are interested in here.
Go far enough north during the winter solstice, and you will not see the sun at all. The tilt of the earth is such that the sun does not appear at all during these three days. On December 24th the sun appears to start rising in the sky again, in Christian belief, the next day, December 25th is the birth of Jesus and many traditional celebrations have a manger as part of the festive decorations.
To the Shaman, Winter Solstice is a time of celebration and new hopes for crops, animal husbandry, babies will be conceived, and generally there is hope for a good year ahead. The old year transforms or is reborn into a new one. Transformation is a very shamanic quality, the myths at this time point to the awakening of our true nature.
The shaman is an essential part of the community and at the winter solstice, the shaman, male or female, had special duties to perform, from these duties the shaman traditions we use today to symbolize Christmas are created.
The traditional Christmas tree is an evergreen conifer, the dominant species of tree that grows in the harsh northern climates. Whether you have a real tree or an imitation one, it is the symbol of the tree that is important.
The Amanita Muscaria, mushroom grows at the foot of evergreen conifers and has a symbiotic relationship with the tree. Nutrients pass back and forth between the tree and the mushroom in the roots to the point where the mushrooms can’t grow without the tree resulting the mushrooms being seen as the fruit of the tree.
The mushrooms have a distinctive bright red cap with white spots or growths on it.
The shaman picks and dries the mushrooms by leaving them on the lower branches of the conifer where they were picked. So, now we have a green conifer with red and white mushrooms drying on its branches. Does this remind you of the baubles you attach to the branches of your Christmas tree?
Early decorations on Christmas Trees were editable. It was too costly to have decorations that were not. Usually, the edible decorations were some sort of baked dough. Later, apples were used as they symbolized the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Apples were later replaced by shiny red balls, which are not edible.
When Shaman gathered mushrooms, their traditional clothing was vivid red and white to symbolize the mushroom and let the spirits of the woods know what they are doing. Does this not remind you of the red and white clothing of Santa?
In the northern climate, deep snow and ice make travel difficult. Some sort of sledge or sleigh is required to get around.
In the cold north, the lowest recorded temperature in Siberia was -67 c/-97.3 F. To survive outside in these temperatures layers of furs would be put on, making the person appear rather “chubby, or fat.” Another well-known depiction of Santa as a well-rounded person!
In the northern climate reindeer are an important source of meat, fur, bone, and other animal products for all manner of human needs. They are an important source of power to pull things, one, or more, may be attached to a sleigh to move it through the snow, woods, and across the plains. This practice continues to this day, as horses are not hardy enough to survive and work in the harsh climate.
So, now we have a rather well-rounded person, riding a sleigh, pulled by one or more reindeer and dressed in red and white clothing.
The Amanita Muscaria mushroom does not contain psychedelic substances as such. It contains muscimol and Ibotenic acid producing a psychedelic like effect, and in rare cases can be poisonous to the person consuming them. The chemicals in the mushroom can cause chills, sweating, salivation, nausea and Ibotenic acid induce vomiting.
Today, some people boil thin slices of the mushroom in a lot of water for 15 minutes. This leaches out the active chemicals in the mushroom. Drinking the water will give you a high, discarding the water and repeating the boing process should result in mushroom flesh that can be eaten. Drying the mushrooms for 24 hours in an oven will also help to reduce or eliminate the muscimol and ibotenic acid. Please, do not take this as a recipe for use of the mushrooms!
The positive effects of the mushroom include visions and altered states of consciousness, a sense of euphoria, and clarity of mind. Because of these positive effects the shaman brings what they have collected with them. They bring them in a sack for their own use and to share with the people they visit.
The need for a shaman to perform ceremonies, conduct healing, retrieving souls on soul journeys is still very much necessary even when the snow is deep and the door to the traditional nomad Yurt is snowed in. To get in the shaman climbs on the roof of the Yurt and enters through the smoke hole in the roof.
So, now we have everything we recognize in Santa today. A shaman, dressed in heavy red and white clothing, carrying a sack of good things, who arrived on a sleigh, pulled by reindeer, and entering through the smoke hole in the roof. If everyone in the yurt is high on mushrooms, stories of the Shaman flying across the sky on their sleigh, pulled by faithful reindeer to visit many yurts during the night seems quite believable.
Have a wonderful holiday season and celebrate the Winter Solstice this year. Celebrate the start of the New Year which begins the day after the Solstice … not a week later!

Galactic Mushroom – The Divine Matrix, The Intricate Complexities of Life
A mushroom is the above-ground expression of the mycelium network below that connects many different and diverse living things. You are part of life and all living things, what you say and do is like the mushroom, an expression of all that you have learned and experienced through this life so far.
As you express yourself through thoughts, actions, and deeds, you are communicating to the Divine Matrix of life your hopes, plans, and intent. Trust that what you are hoping and wishing for, will come to fruition in the real world that you can touch and use.
Be confident that even if you cannot see it now, it will be there soon. Trying too hard to manifest what you hope and wish for exhausts you and take energy away from you. Know that the universe, the Divine, is working at its own pace even if you are trying too hard to make it happen now.
What next?

Dragon’s Hoard – protecting the future, legacy, true riches
This life is full of distractions. As you seek to grow and evolve on your life path, you are presented with many opportunities some are gems that can help you materially and spiritually grow and change.

Lay of the Land – past lessons, being well informed, ancestral wisdom
The messages from the past two readings have been that the energy in you is ready and prepared to appear to the world. Your life path has changed and evolved. You have the skills and the inner spiritual strength and wisdom to move forward. You are showing to those around you that you have the confidence to continue on.
Now is the time to look up rather than down at your feet and consider if there is a map that can help you on your life path. The map may come from many different areas in your life.
What past lessons and experiences can help you move forward, what information do you need and what are the reliable sources that can provide it?
Do you have an ancestor who can offer your help and advice? You may think this strange, after all this is now, the energy and word are different from the past, but what you can learn from an ancestor is confidence, assuredness, the ability to move confidently with your head up and eyes wide open.
This is time to seek a mentor, a mentor who may surprise you and travel with you for a short while, or maybe a much longer period of time. Be open to the mentor who appears in your life now. Accept and receive from them.

Cosmic Womb – Creativity, the divine feminine.
This is a message of spiritual and emotional change. It is happening inside of you as the seasons change. For some the change started at the beginning of the year and like the spring, summer, and Fall, the seed has taken root, grown and is maturing in the warm glow of Fall colours.
As the season’s close into winter, you are ready to show your creativity and curiosity. This is an extension of last week’s message of a new you being birthed and being revealed to the world and all those you hold dear.
The creativity in this message may take many different forms. Writing, music, singing, painting. Drawing, or in the spirit of this technology age, programming and design. Whatever form the creativity takes, let it grow and show the world what you can do.
Your creativity is an expression of your inner spirit and soul. Make sure not stifle it and constrain it. It is part of your life path and you need to let it grow and people around you be aware of your potential and see the joy you have in expressing your true self. If there is anyone who opposes or challenges you, or expresses doubt at your ability and creativity. They are not your friend or supporter. Perhaps it is time for them to leave your life? There is no reason why you should hide your beauty.

Moon Maiden – New Ideas, New Beginnings
You have been very quiet and reserved. You have not been talking much, to anyone, about the ideas and plans you have for the future.
Now is the time to reveal the new you, the new energy you have, to the world. But, do it slowly. Let people you care about, know first and then the wider world. Perhaps you have a new job and the experiences you encounter in that new world are brining changes in you. Perhaps it is a new companion, one that has awakened something new and different in you through the relationship.
Whatever is new, it gives you confidence to challenge anyone questioning why the new you are so different. To those who do not wish you to change and evolve, it will seem as though you are so unpredictable all of a sudden. While you are unpredictable to some, you are also a reliable friend to others.
Perhaps the biggest change will be your inner confidence and willingness to answer only to yourself and not to do what others think you should be.
Be prepared to be challenged by those who see the changes in you. Be confident in your inner self.

Great Mystery - Trust
This card came out last week, the message is very much the same.
The card shows the face of a wise, strong lion and the fluttering beauty of a butterfly.
In that image, you can see that all is connected. Everything is a different facet or lens of something else. Strength is beauty and beauty is strong.
The message here is to pay attention and trust in the world around you. Do not ignore your partner, do not ignore your pets. You and they are as connected as the butterfly and the lion.
What is different this week is the repetition of the ask for you to trust in the essential beauty of the Great Mystery.
A lack of self-confidence shuts you away from belief in yourself and the life path you are here to follow. A lack of self-confidence stops you form achieving your goals and makes you doubt your abilities and strengths by always showing you weakness.
Believe in yourself and trust in yourself. Trust that you can succeed and be grateful for the strength you have and that you have a part to play in the Great Mystery of life and existence.
Have confidence and strength!

The message here is to pay attention and trust in the world around you. Do not ignore your partner, do not ignore your pets. You and they are as connected as the butterfly and the lion.
Part of the beauty of having a quiet space is silence. Silence to listen, truly listen and trust that the message of the earth, life and spirits is enriching and exciting.
When you truly learn to listen, you can see that the beginning of something is the end of something else, it is a cycle of change and growth.
Now is your time to trust in the essential Great Mystery of life, to make your life easy and special because at the moment you may not see this, may not feel this.

Feathers—Restoration
Fall… autumn is replacing summer. Days are starting to get shorter, remarkably so in the mornings.
Shamans decorate their robes with feathers from birds that have special significance. In that moment when they attach the feather the believe they receive a gift of the beauty and freed, strength and power of the bird who lost it. Feathers are sacred.
This summer has brought you many experiences. Happiness, sadness, confusion; all these emotions have helped you grow. Now take a breath and slow down and appreciate the world.
To find a feather lost by a bird flying freely over head is a message that your guardians are with you and looking after you. A feather is incredibly personal to your current circumstances, dreams, and goals.
As you rest and recuperate, you are asked to restore your sense of direction.
All the worries, trials and tribulations of the past need to be set aside. Do not carry them like old clothes that should be disposed of.
The feather is a message to let go of the worries and pains of living. Life it is not all about worries and struggle, there has to be time for your soul to rest.
There has to be time for you look up and forward to the new world being created around you.
The feather brings a sense of freedom that only a bird can give. Take this time to refresh yourself, become more grounded and in tune with your spirit. A bird that is not in tune with itself has difficulty flying.
New opportunities arriving in the rest of the year will challenge you. You will need to restore your old energies and strength to bring you back in tune with your life path, your dreams, and your hopes.

Drum – Awaken
The rhythm of a Shaman’s drum brings a melody to the ceremonies they perform. This card expands on the theme of awakening and ceremony.
This is the time to slow down and stop the chit-chat of the busy logical mind. Push the endless cycle of “what if” or “what, when” thoughts that bring no value, no insight they just drain your energy and confuse you by hiding the path you should be following.
Nos is the time to open up and listen to your guides, they have been with you since you were born and now, they demand your attention. It is time to awaken to your spiritual self.
Drum speaks of nature, Mother Ghia, the earth, and to your heart beat and that of your mother when you were in the womb, protected and comfortable.
Your creative self, the innovative and expanding right side of your brain, is helping to change you, change your focus, emotions and dreams. Now is the time to let it as you come to the end of summer and the day when you give thanks for the abundance of your life.
Allow this all to flow, and grow. Be attentive to the messages awakening you now.

A Tidy House – Clarity and Organization
Your emotional world and the people around you are a metaphor for the physical world of your room, the house or apartment in which you live.
This is time, as the summer draws to its last half for you to consider if there are people like clothes and furniture that should leave your world. You want things and people around you who are energetic, surprising, trustworthy, and stimulating for you.
Try sitting the place where you normally watch TV or read. Do not turn on the TV or pick up your book. Look around and see if everything you look at deserves to be in your life. How have your tastes changed? If a piece of furniture no longer interests you or serves a purpose, does it have any special meaning for you?
Now, close your eyes and “see” your space without each thing. How does it change your vision of your space? Is it better. Could you replace what is no longer suitable with something new, interesting and exciting to look at?
Now think of people in your life. Is the same true of the emotional world of people and friends. If you decide to let some people pass from your life, do not be harsh and judgmental. They have been good for you for the time they have been part of your life.
Even those who have been harsh and difficult for you, you have learned from the experience and now it is time to move on, just as you passed on the text book at school after you had finished the course.
Be clear in what you say to someone who is leaving your life. Learn from the experience of parting just as you learned from them being in hour life. Feel the burst of energy from the freedom of the change in the relationships in your life.
Lay of the Land – Ancestral Wisdom
Each of us has a life path to walk. The shaman can see our lives in the context of the path and our guides helping us meet the challenges we face and the successes and failures. The shaman sees the path is not smooth for some and like glass for others.
But beware, glass can be slippery, do not fall!
The shaman sees how our ancestors and how they play a part in our journey and how their experiences can guide you.

Hello and welcome to the inaugural edition of Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally. I am Mark Ashford, I am your host, and I am a Type 2 diabetic.
My diabetes was diagnosed on December the 20th, 2022.
And as I record this inaugural edition of the podcast, it is August the 25th, 2023.
That period has been extremely short, some people would say, but it’s also been a period during which I’ve confronted many struggles, a few demons, and also a lot of success.
On December the 20th, 2022, I was prescribed 2000 milligrams of Metformin per day. That’s four 500 milligram tablets, two in the morning, two at lunchtime.
By the time I saw my doctor the next time in April 2023, she was able to reduce my prescription from 2000 milligrams a day of Metformin to 1000 milligrams per day of Metformin.
Now I’m lucky in that I have a doctor that is both interested in what I’m doing, the lifestyle changes that showed up in my blood work that allowed her to make the reduction. So, she is also a doctor who believes in no medication is the best medication. So, she is quite happy to reduce my prescription medication to 50% less than what it was when I started just four months ago, four months previously.
I met her again in early August, August the 20th actually. And once again, she was able to reduce my medication by another 50%.
So now I am down to one 500 milligram tablet of Metformin, which I take in the morning.
And hopefully by the end of November, early December of 2023, if things continue as they are, and I continue to make the changes, and I commit to the changes and keep those changes happening, she thinks that I may be able to come off Metformin altogether.
Two things have surprised me so far in this journey. One is the lifestyle changes that are necessary to allow me to make these changes so that I can reduce my medication.
But also, that none of the things that I’m doing are alien to me.
I’ve practised them all at different times in my life when I wanted to change up my diet, change up the way I’m living life, and I’m changing up things to reduce my weight, to make me feel happier, reduce the buzz that I get from sugar and those kinds of things. So my lifestyle changes really are also a reversion back to times when I considered that to be the best thing for me to do. And that is the strangest thing about this.
From my relationship or perspective on diabetes is not just in my current situation. My father in the last six or seven years of his life was diagnosed with diabetes. And this was in the 1960s and it was in the UK when there seemed to be less knowledge, less interest, less capability to deal with diabetes.
Certainly, he didn’t have any medication to take, which I have now. And I wear a continuous glucose monitor and he didn’t have anything like that. He used urine test strips to monitor his blood sugar levels.
I also had to think about how I viewed diabetes in that I also had since coming to Canada, known a couple of diabetics who had the classic diabetic complications. They had amputations, they had loss of vision, they had other things that are very significant in the way that they meet life and the way that they conduct themselves.
And to see them able to deal with these things’ radical changes in their ability to work and be happy and enjoy life was a dark period.
They’d navigated through it, but when you see a lot of the recommendations and a lot of the description of what diabetes leads to, it’s referred to as chronic, it’s progressive. Once you become diabetic, there’s no going back.
Because you can’t go back, what you’re struggling with day to day once you’ve been diagnosed diabetic is preventing yourself from becoming worse, not better.
The thing that struck me was that a lot of the websites, well not a lot of the websites, but some of them, even some of the quote official websites, they have C, cancer,

Jewelled Web – Connectivity
A shaman divines the future using a variety of tools and aids. I prefer crystals. By divining the future, I am providing an answer to a very limited question. Will I win this or that, will I connect with that person, or not. Will I succeed at such and such an exam?
These are questions with a binary answer. Yes, you will pass the exam could be an answer, or it may be. No, you will not. Will I win the car or the cash, there are so many chances in the lottery but in the end, for you, it is either yes, you have won, or no, you have not.
Yet there are far more options, a jewelled web of opportunities. One of them is shining brighter than the others and is right for at this moment. It is shining brightly for your highest good. As it shines you need to know how you feel about the opportunity offered. Do you live in that moment accept the jewel or are you focused on “what” and how, of the opportunity rather than what has been given to you?
In manifesting abundance, we can be more concerned about the price and do not see the value in what has arrived.
You are part of the web of life. To someone, you may not know them, you are worth more than all the others in their lives.
Garden of Venus—Rest and Renewal
As the summer surrounds you with growing and wonderful things, you must accept that now is the time to rest. You have fought and struggled in so many ways this year. It is not a case of slowing down to smell the roses. It is a time to stop and smell the roses.
The roses may be actual roses or they may be your achievements. Whatever the roses are, take some time to appreciate them and yourself.
Find somewhere peaceful, sit down and close your eyes and turn in the direction of the sun and dwell in the warmth on your skin. If you are walking past still water, take a moment to look at your reflection.
Who is looking back at you? As each of us overcomes a challenge we change, both on the inside and in our expression, so much of who we are exists in our expression, our features. Look again, into that mirror, who is looking back at you? Do you like what you see?
In the end accept you will come back in a month, six months, or a year and see who is looking back at you through those same eyes.
What next?

When you look East, you see the sun rising to brighten our lives and warm the earth. It is the start of our day. We set a special time in our calendars for it, it is called Sun Rise. Before alarm clocks people went to bed and rose with the setting and rising of the sun. The sun feeds all living things with energy and we certainly are living beings. It is all about our spiritual awakening, our soul continues with its karmic journey through life
and experience.
There are so many gifts for us with each sunrise it is impossible to list them all. Just the fact that the sun rises in the morning and brings us a new day gives us confidence and optimism. Not to mention a small sense of relief that the sunset the previous day was not the last time we would see the sun.
The East speaks to spring, youthfulness, and fills us with curiosity and wanting to explore a brave new world of opportunity and hope. The rising Sun has a powerful meaning for all life, animals, plants, trees, fish and, of course, humankind. The shaman leads celebrations of the Winter Solstice from which the days grow longer, and warmer and he or she looks to the longest of summer days, Summer Solstice.
Our waking is another opportunity to step closer to ourselves and a higher level of awareness and enriching of our soul with wisdom. The sun pulls us from our sleep and embraces us with warmth and divine light.
When we look around, we see the unlimited potential in ourselves. Embrace that potential and decide to move forward. Accept change, accept that change will bring enrichment and evolution in our lives and our souls.
Because direction East contains the spirit of Spring, renewal, birth, and rebirth. It is the spirit of all new beginnings, new ideas and new plans. It is the gift of awakening as we live this life meeting challenges and surpassing them to move to a higher level of awareness and spiritual wisdom.
The sun is the sleeping soul coming alive and being embraced by warmth and light. It was common for the shaman to greet the new dawn by facing east and watching the sunrise while saying a sacred prayer:
Great Spirit who comes out of the East,
come to us with the power of the East,
We are thankful for the light of the rising sun.
Let there be light on the path we walk.
Let us remember always to be thankful that You give the gift of a new day
— Lakota Prayer of the Four Directions
Remember, Reiki helps release the energy burden of daily, ego work and mind. It helps you see the potential of you and the world around you.

Dances on One Foot – Balancing Act
As a dancer moves around the stage, they never have both feet on the ground, there is always one foot in the air. Their grace comes from how they move from one foot to another and the poses and moves they display.
If you are putting too much of yourself into a relationship, a job, a family or friends, now is the time to recognize it and that this is draining your spiritual energy. Some things must be let go so you have the energy you need for the things that will bring love, energy and vitality into your life.
You also need to recognize and understand the difference between being ready for something, anything to enter your life and being prepared.
We spend a lot of time and emotional energy acquiring money, resources and “things” for what we hope will be our future. Like a scientist looking through a microscope, we are focused on the tiny things in our lives and yet we are not ready when an opportunity is offered to us because we are not looking up and around.
Know this, at any moment in your life, you have all that you need to succeed, grow and thrive. Do not concentrate on the small things, look up and be ready for the opportunity that comes from a direction you had not thought of. Also, know that you will never be fully prepared for the reality accepting an opportunity will bring.
This card comes to tell you to be in a state of “yes.” Yes, to opportunities you did not see coming, and say yes to things that add, love, vitality and growth to your life, not things that hold you into a path you have been treading for weeks, months, and years.
Welcome opportunities into your life that speak to love, vitality and growth to your life and no to the things that do not, you will see your life become lighter, happier and sunnier. As you do so, recognize you have what you need to succeed, whether it is training and knowledge, or material things like a laptop, a car, you either already have these things or you have the ability to acquire them. There is nothing missing in you or your spirit.
Stars in the Sky—Limitless Possibility
Astronomy tells us there are more stars, constellations and galaxies in the night sky than we can see. Telescopes like the James Web are millions of miles from Earth, our home, peering into the sky and recording so much more.
The night sky is limitless and is always expanding. We can be sure that what we can see with our eyes and tools is just a fraction of what exists. We are part of that never ending and always expanding universe. Each of us has as much potential in us as each and every star we can know.
Now is the time for you to focus on what we want to learn, do, experience, and rejoice in. Now is the time to be present in the moment, in the here and now. Look within and see what it is you wish to participate in.
Do not let yourself be distracted. If you can concentrate clearly on what it is you want to achieve, you will summon your helpers and guides, along with the universal energy of abundance, to achieve what it is you are focusing on.
As with manifesting abundance, do not concentrate on the form of what you wish to receive, concentrate on the potential. The universe will deliver what is suitable and appropriate to you at the moment you need it.

Lost in Space – Needing Direction
Does the future seem vague and uncertain? As life changes, and people come into or leave our lives, or we change where we live and feel a sense of loss of the friends and family that supported us and gave us life variety, we can feel lost. We feel uncertain about the future.
Plans for the future can also disrupt of feeling of the place and being. This is especially true if we feel we have no control over the outcome of those changes we are planning, or hoping to make.
For a moment, the future seems vast and uncertain. As you contemplate the vastness of the future, you tend to dwell on the past and mistakes made that have resulted in where you are now. The future is shrouded in mist and the past hangs like a dark cloud over what has been. As you contemplate your future, you desperately do not want to repeat any mistakes.
The setting of the sun each night brings a period when we eat, sleep, and rest in family or tribal groups. The shaman recognized the setting of the sun as a time when he/she danced, drummed, and sang in ceremonies to help heal the soul of a client. When they journeyed to upper or lower realms to retrieve lost souls and knowledge for healing.
Night was not a time to be feared, it was a time to cleans and shake off that which no longer serves us.
In the morning, the sun rises to ease your worries and anxiety. Let the shaman practise the sun ritual where fears and worries are given to the sun so that it may wash them away.
Find a quiet space, where you can be alone and face the sun, give your fears and worries to it. Say it in your mind or out loud, “take my worries and burn them away.”
Ask for its strength to meet your challenges today.
Fool’s Embrace—Transmuting Pain
There are two great energies in our lives. Pain and love. They are the Ying and Yang of our life experience. Everything can be distilled down to one of these two.
Of the two, this card is sent to you now to think about how you deal with pain. Pain can be angered, distrust, hurt, loss of someone or a pet, scheming, recklessness, and desperation. Pain is anything that can be considered negative.
How we deal with pain in all its forms affects us and how we move forward and deal with the challenges we encounter in the future. If we manage pain poorly, it can become part of us and become the “default” way we deal with life as we move through it. Pain creates pain and darkness.
To a shaman this may speak to a soul damaged by evil spirits or energies which can be healed through advice, teaching, and healing ceremonies. The wisdom gained from the shaman helps the client understand the lessons the loss has to give.
Now is your time to reflect on the pain you are carrying like so much unwanted baggage. Now is the time to think about the pain you have encountered and the lessons it can teach you. Why did a relationship end? Why was I let go from a job? So many painful events can be opened up now and the lessons you can draw from them unpacked and brought into the light of day.
The lesson you draw from the pain may not reflect well on you but there is a kernel of truth and value in these thoughts. Now is the time to make the lesson your own, recognize the value in the lesson learned from pain and make it part of life journey.
The shaman knows that at life’s end, the karma of the good and bad in a life are weighed and what the soul needs to learn in the next life decided. Before you get to the end, take this time to look objectively and dispassionately, at the pain in your emotional luggage and start learning from them so that what there is to learn can be integrated into your good karma and become your default way of dealing with pain and challenge in the future.

Shaman of Song
Song is beauty and it is ritual. Song was an intimate part of a Shaman and the healing sessions they performed. Song allowed the shaman to express their journey to provide healing to the individual, family and tribe. Song is an expression of inner self and creativity, beauty and expression of the singer’s soul and spirit.
If you do not sing let the song you want to sing, be something within you. Touching your inner self and being. Whistle a tune as you work, even if it is not a very good tune, your spirit knows what it is you want to express.
The song you sing may not be an actual song, it can be the expression of your life in some way that brightens your life and those around you. Do you make bread and do it very well? That can be your song. Giving food and sustenance to yourself and others is a song.
Now is the time to look at your own song what it means on to you. Enjoy!
Spirit of Destruction
Destruction means an end to something that once was of value. In tarot it refers to the ending of a cycle that no longer serves us.
To the shaman it means the ending of inner turmoil and frustration. The soul and spirit are agitated, hurt, damaged, plagued with guilt, resentment, and anger.
To move forward you must recognize these challenges and damaging patterns. Resolve to end these feelings no matter how they were caused. You cannot move along your life path if you carry this baggage. It saps your energy and magnifies itself as you deal on these negative feelings.
Find a quiet space, preferably amongst nature and look at the life around you, animals, insects and plants. They grow and move without judgment and do not dwell on negative events. Learn from them, plants do not grow where the ground is rocky and the soil is bad for them, they grow where the soil is rich and fertile. Animals search for food where there is abundance. When they find food, they eat what they need to survive, not in excess.
It is your time to leave the negativity within you behind. Recognize it and the cause and resolve to go where the world is abundant and you can grow and be happy and successful.

Ancestor of Exile
This is not so much about being exiled from a place or a group. If for example, there is a falling out with colleagues at work and they no longer invite you to lunch. It could be a feeling of being exiled from the group when you are the new person in the team and for now you simply do not fit in with everyone else.
No, this has to do with your inner self. A feeling of lacking something. Perhaps you are no longer confident in your abilities, you have lost faith in yourself. You no longer appreciate your achievements; you no longer feel you can celebrate your successes because the success does not seem to be large enough.
You must always celebrate your successes, no matter how big or small. If you are part of a group, you must always celebrate the group success.
This card comes to you now to seek out the wounds that are preventing you from celebrating success or recognizing you have achieved a goal, no matter how small or indirect to your feelings of what should be celebrated.
Be kind to yourself as you walk your life path and never leave a wound of being exiled from your achievements go untended. Recognize and learn from success and let it heal the wounds of the challenge and upset.
Spirit of Truth
In the long-ago past, truth meant honesty to the family group and to the tribe. In the modern world, it means truth to the group we work with and the family group, no matter how large or small. It can mean the truth in telling a cashier they gave us too much in our change.
As we walk our life path, truth means being true to ourselves. Recognizing when we are out of tune with the world and our inner self. Have we been truthful in our appreciation of our successes and failures, have we claimed success from another and denied them recognition for their efforts in doing so?
Being true to ourselves and within ourselves comes before anything. There is a feeling that this card comes to remind you of this. Now is a time of inner reflection on what truth means to you and how you relate to it and your spirit as you travel your life path.

Ancestor of Memory
Memory helps define us and guide us. That is because it allows us to see where we have been and to integrate the lessons, we have learned so that we have an ever-changing perspective that allows us to develop with each new challenge.
It is the collective memory of our family and our tribe. Now that we have moved well beyond the ability of our own memories and the collective memory of family or tribe we move forward with writing and more recently computers to collect, categorize and organize memory and shared events.
This card comes to you this week to spend some time contemplating and gathering your thoughts and memories. To appreciate your life and all the challenges and learning that make you who you are.
In gathering these memories and seeing where you have been and what has happened in your life, you will see where you are going and what it is you have yet to start. In looking at what has to start, you will prioritize the next stage of your life.
Be open to it and welcome the challenges and changes with open arms.
Ancestor of Skill
Skill is the ability to do something. This card is a representation of half man and half deer. Our early ancestors learned much from the world around them, especially the animals. They were open to learning new skills and habits from everything around them.
As the Ancestor of Memory asks you to contemplate where you have been and where you are going as well as where you have yet to go. The Ancestor of Skill asks you to be open to new learning new skills from all sources, not just the ones you have used so far in your life.
As you contemplate your life and the skills you have, look inside, we all have skills we are not using or discovered. These abilities may require time and effort to refine and make completely useful to us, but it is time well worth it and part of our life path.

Spirit of Family
Family was vital in the distant past when our ancestors hunted with bows and arrows and spears. The family was a powerful unit of interweaving energy from different members, old and young along with the animals that shared their lives.
The tribe was a unique joining of many family units and animals into a greater whole and for the benefit of each.
The shaman saw clearly that each was family, each human and animal was stronger because of kinship with the other.
This card comes to you now to remind you of kinship and shared love and energy fellow humans and animals bring us. Look up and around, even the birds in the trees sing a song for you as you walk by.
Spirit of Love
Patience is love. Patience to recognize the all-encompassing love that is all around us, even if we do not share in it directly.
But when we do share in it, it is swirling and emotional, sudden and dynamic. Love is a paintbrush on a canvas that shows a different landscape than the one we thought we would create when we made the first brush stroke.
The card is a message to be open to receive and give love. It means to be open to place your hand over your heart at the end of the day and say to yourself, “I love you.”
When you love yourself and are open to love in all its suddenness and strangeness, love will come to you and lift you up. Be careful though not to judge love, do not censor or discriminate against who sends the love. Accept what is given to you, in the way and form it is given.

Sprit of Healing
In the long-distant past, when humans lived very close to nature, in huts, yurts and tepees, danger was all around. Not just with predatory animals but with plants that were poisonous. They needed healers frequently and they turned to the shaman for help.
Using their knowledge of healings plants and potions, the shaman would help to heal the physical body.
The appearance of this card does not speak to the body, it speaks to the spirit and the soul. The spirit and soul are our inner life force, it is the essential spark inside us that carries us forward, it is what makes each of us different and it is the creative energy that helps us accept and succeed at challenges.
For some of there has been hurt and damage to the soul or spirit. It could have been caused by a failed relationship, a friendship that cannot continue. It might even be diagnosis of a serious disease.
The Spirit of Healing shaman card is sent to you to seek out the spiritual and soul healing needed to move past what has hurt you, damaged you.
The shaman journeys to the different realms, Upper, Lower and even the Underworld seeking healing that cannot be applied to the physical self to make us whole again.
Now is the time to make space in the world and relax, get in touch with the hurt and understand that you can learn from it and that learning will give you energy to move forward with your life again.
Shaman of Courage
Courage is a fundamental attribute of each human being, each spirit and soul that inhabits the physical shell. It takes courage to be in charge at work, at home or on the soccer pitch.
Without courage we do not move forward, we see the risk and disadvantage, the negative outcome rather than the possibility of success and advancement.
Even things that seem natural such as getting married and starting a family requires courage.
Outward challenges and demonstrations of courage and success are the opposite of what is inside many of us; doubts, fears, anxiety, and stress.
The card comes to remind you, as does your spiritual shaman, that you have within you what you need to succeed.
You need to shed the fear of showing your essential strength and reaching out to grasp the future you were intended to have.

Drum - Awaken
The rhythm of a shaman’s drum brings a melody to the ceremonies they perform. Ceremonies of loss and recovery, healing and energy.
Slowing down may seem strange when the subtext is Awakening, but you need to slow down and learn how to cut out the chatter of your busy logical mind. Still, the endless cycle of “what if” thoughts that bring you no value, no insight, they only drain your energy and confuse you by hiding the path you should be following.
Drum speaks to nature, Mother Ghia, the earth, to your heart beat and that of your mother when you were in the womb, protected, and comfortable. Your creative self, the innovative and expanding right side of your brain, is helping to change you, change your focus, emotions and dreams.
You are starting to awaken and see your life path. Be open to learning and change, to give life to a new direction in your existence.
Allow it to flow, and grow. Be attentive to the messages you awaken in yourself and the possibilities in your spirit and creative mind.

Buried in the Earth – Transference
The energy in this card is asking you to pay attention to its message. Find a way to apply your essential vitality in life to the challenges you face, and your future.
This is a time to look for energy, thoughts and ideas that have not made it to the front of your consciousness. Ancestor stories, events, circumstances and dreams have all contributed to where you are now.
Think for a moment of an ancestor who moved from one country, city or region to where you are living now. They were not intimidated by the journey they would have to endure to reach a better life. They had a vision of where and what they wanted to be and looked forward to the adventure. Adventure translates to opportunity when you are open to it.
If you have something physical from your ancestors, a watch, a purse, a piece of jewellery, a letter, or photographs. Gather them together. Find a quiet space, in your home or in a park, somewhere where you can hold the items and look at them, feel them, listen to the energy in them. Feel the flow of energy and how it transfers to you.
In that moment of transference, there is connection.
The energy of that connection flows from the journeys and challenges of your ancestors to you. If you are facing challenges let the energy of the past flow into you and help you face what is in front of you whether it is physical or emotional. Your ancestor’s energy will help you move forward.
When you are finished, place all the items in something where you can find them easily and take them out again in the future if you feel challenged by what is in front of you and draw energy from them.

North – Solitude
We all walk a life path, a path set for our soul, our spirit, before we are born. In that special time when one life has ended and another has not started, the sum of our good and bad Karma from the past life is merged with the karma from all of our past lives.
The path we are to follow is defined in that moment between lives and the lessons we need to learn expressed. We walk the new life path with guides who are able to help us along the way. Some guides will be with us throughout our entire life, some only for a short while to provide help when needed for special tasks, experiences, and learning.
All our guides play a special part in our lives—if we listen to them.
The message this card holds is to detach from busy life and seek peace, and rest. The subtext on the card is solitude. Around you are people, or things trying to mould you in a way that is not part of your life path.
If what is trying to mould you is an addictive substance such as stimulants, money or alcohol, seek help. Distance yourself from the source of influence. Contemplate what, and why you have come to this stage in your path.
If there is fear, resistance, and pain in you, seek solitude to understand why and how and why you are connected to these things and learn from your guides how to remove them.
Above all, allow solitude to help you become aware of the lessons you are here to learn at this stage in your life.
Before your path ends, you will have many lessons to learn, much more life to experience. This is a message to help you through this time.

Medicine Bag – Treasure
This card is a reminder to pay attention to the things you have brought through your life to this point.
Along the way you have collected things, material things, sentimental things. They define a moment of time. Perhaps you have left one of those behind, by accident or as part of life’s plan.
If you have material things bring them out into the light of day and take time to study them and reflect on them. They are mementos of people, places and events that had meaning and taught you things.
If they are memories, dust them off and make them bright and clear in your mind. My father’s medal ribbon is a powerful memory of his strength, service, and willingness to accept risk, but also endeavour, valour, and courage.
Something my mother gave me brings thoughts of all the things she did for me as I was growing up. When she bandaged and hugged me when I took a fall, or the nights, she spent with me doing homework. She comforted me when I was sick and praised me when I succeeded. She was always there for me.
When you look at your mementos, do you see them or the memories associated with them? What can you learn from the memories? On your life path, do the memories glow brightly at certain times in your life. What is important about those times? Can you see how you are passing on the same vibrations to your own children, and to the animals in your life?
A wedding dress and decorations from a wedding cake speak to hopes for happiness in a future pairing with another, and the first shoes worn by a baby of growth and hopes, wishes and dreams for a future generation.
Just feel the power in these memories, let them wash over you and communicate to you.
Pay attention to the lessons, feelings, thoughts, and experiences brought to you now. As this year unfolds, use these messages of hope to create fresh new memories, and be open to collect new mementos along your journey.
Now put what is in front of you carefully away so you can bring them out again when you need an emotional recharge.

Stone People - Knowing
Shamans see spirits and energy in everything in this world. Streams, rivers, lakes and plants. Mountains and stones or rocks all have energy that speaks to a place, a time, and a purpose. The Stone People are the spirits in the rocks and mountains we see all around us. This is why being out in nature, spending time outside your home will bring energy and encourage you along your life path.
The card repeats the ask to be open and accepting of the message[s] the sprits of the Stone People have for you. The information you need to move forward if you are stalled is available but you are not paying attention, or being open to receive it and apply it. If you are lacking energy, depressed or confused, the energy and knowledge of the Stone People is open to you now.
Is it that you do not want to move on? You may not be happy with the situation you find your spirit in, but change seems more uncomfortable and daunting and for that reason you struggle to ignore the positive messages being given to you.
If your resistance to hear the messages is because of a loss, a person, or a pet. Now is the time to experience the calmness Stone People bring you.
Slow your mind that is so captivated by the minutiae of busy mind living. Slow your mind from the loss you are feeling. As you slow you mind, slow your spirit to listen and learn from the messages of the Stone People you start to see the world through the eyes of a shaman.
Look around as you walk in nature, if a pebble or small rock speaks to you pick it up and hold it in your hand. Let the energy speak to you, breathe it in and learn from the message of the Stone person in that small piece of early energy.
The Stone People ask you to be clear about your intentions in life. As you are challenged, learn from each challenge, and move on to the next with new knowledge. Be open to esoteric knowledge that is revealed to you, accept and use it. If you are being asked to study something, be open to doing so. In that study your mind will expand and you will be encouraged to move in a new direction on your life path journey.

Buried in the Earth - Transference
The energy here is asking you to pay attention to the message the card brings, find a way to apply the vitality in your life to the challenges you face, and your future.
This is a time to look for energy, thoughts and ideas that have not made it to the front of your consciousness. Ancestor stories, events, circumstances and dreams have all contributed to where you are now.
Think for a moment of an ancestor who moved from one country, city or region to where you are living now. They were not intimidated by the journey they would have to endure and worked hard to make it a reality. They had a vision of where and what they wanted to be. They were open to the opportunities and challenges their new home would bring.
If you have anything physical from your ancestors, a watch, a purse, a piece of jewellery, even a letter or photographs. Gather them together. Find a quiet space, in your home or in a park, somewhere where you can hold the items and look at them, feel them.
There is a moment of connection.
The energy of that connection flows from the journeys and challenges of your ancestors to you. If you are facing challenges let the energy of the past flow into you and help you face what is in front of you whether it is physical or emotional. Your ancestor’s energy will help you move forward.
When you are finished, place all the items in something where you can find them easily and take them out again in the future if you feel challenged by what is in front of you and draw energy from them.

Stone People – Knowing
Shamans see spirits and energy in everything in this world. Streams, rivers, lakes and plants. Mountains and stones or rocks all have energy that speaks to a place, a time, and a purpose. The Stone People are the spirits in the rocks and mountains we see all around us. This is why being out in nature, spending time outside your home will bring energy and encourage you along your life path.
In this card is the message that the sprits of the Stone People have information you need to move forward, if you are stalled. If you are lacking energy, depressed or confused, the energy and knowledge of the Stone People are opening up for you.
Stone People bring you to a sense of calm. Slow you egoic mind so captivated by the montage of busy mind living. As you slow you mind, slow your spirit to listen and learn from the messages of the Stone People you start to see the world through the eyes of a shaman.
Look around as you walk in nature, if a pebble or small rock speaks to you pick it up and hold it in your hand. Let the energy speak to you, breathe it in and learn from the message of the Stone person in that small piece of early energy.
The Stone People ask you to be clear about your intentions in life as you meet challenges, learn from each challenge, and move on to the next with new knowledge. Be open to esoteric knowledge that is revealed to you, accept and use it.

Medicine Wheel – Continuation
The space inside a medicine wheel is a sacred space. Inside the wheel you can appreciate the circle of life. Life is a circle of energy and being.
When you look at life this way, you can learn from the challenges and experiences you encounter and move forward to what comes next. Until you have learned from an experience, it will not resolve itself or allow you to move forward.
Allow the cycle of life to form your spirit, and how you learn from and communicate with your intentions, hopes, and dreams.
The medicine wheel allows you to access the energies of the four cardinal compass points as well as the minor ones. It gives access to spiritual energies and the energy of Mother Ghia, plants, animals, crystals and anything you wish to bring into the circle.
You may build your own medicine wheel, either in your mind, on a piece of land where you can build one for real. A medicine wheel does not have to be large, it can be small, in your garden, amongst the flowers and growing things. Under a tree in your yard. Using pebbles or small ricks rather than big boulders.
Medicine Wheels, are found all over the world and many are ancient, left behind by our ancient ancestors. They speak of the first spirits that emerged from the Underworld to become people to walk upon the earth.
Each medicine wheel is special and unique to the religious philosophy of the race of people who built it, and to you.

Cave – Retreat
A cave offers a home away from the dangers, stress, and aggravation of daily life. It offered our ancient ancestors protection and warmth. In the modern life, we are always running here and there. Our mind is in constant turmoil and filled with the noisy chatter of our egoic mind. All these stresses have a negative effect on us, they wear us down.
Cave is a retreat, a literal cave or an emotional cave. It is a place to go to and rest away from the negative energies that can consume the good in our soul and spirit.
It is time now to slow down and spend some time away from the demands of others so you can concentrate on you, your hopes, your dreams, and the messages your guides are sending you. Messages just for you, messages to help you grow and develop.
You need to move forward, evolve and change but cannot if your energy is drained away by others. You have learned where you can retreat to heal and shed the negative energy of others and life in general. After a period of tranquility, you are ready to seek your goals, ambitions and dreams.

Birds—Freedom
This card came to you last week. When a card repeats in consecutive weeks. This is a message of reinforcement, and, encouragement.
We are only in the fourth month of the year but if this year has already been tiring and exhausting look at April as the start of spring and shedding of the winter months. All is new in spring, plants grow, animals join and mate, there is optimism all around you.
Take a moment to get outside, especially if you have a park or open space near you. Look up, you see the birds and hope passionately that your hopes will soar like them. If you are near water, you can watch them swooping and enjoying the breezes moving from water to land, and back again.
This is a time to believe in dreams and hopes manifesting and moving forward.
Your soul is like a caged bird. The stress of living the way you are is the cage denying you freedom. If you are to welcome new experiences, people and manifest your hopes and dreams, then memories and experiences you are carrying must leave you. You cannot, must not, carry the past with you like luggage or an old suit of clothes.
The past burdens you and makes it difficult for everything that is new this year to enter your life. Look up and smile, welcome the sun, welcome the new life around you.
In the first week of April, the Feathers card appeared symbolizing what is ahead and to let go. Be prepared for excitement and expectation.
If you live in a part of the world where you can open windows and let fresh air into your home, do so. This breath of fresh air is the literal breath of new air that you need to breathe. If you cannot open your home because of the weather. Bundle up and go for a walk in a park or near a lake.
The new air in your lungs, its freshness and energy, will motivate you to spread your wings and seize new opportunities Spring brings. Do not hesitate. When you walk and breathe resolve to be prepared to speak your truth when things get difficult. Spring is a wonderful time but it also brings challenges that help you change, being truthful to yourself at this time is important to your life path through this year.
The cage the past can create for your soul includes bars that prevent you from speaking your truth. Your honesty is locked away because you fear that what you have to say may not be well received. This confines you and makes you a follower. It takes away your power. Resolve to take back your power and express yourself to the world in your own way on your own terms.

Medicine Bag—Treasure
This card is a reminder to pay attention to the things you have brought with you through your life to this point. Take out those special things, mementoes of people, places and events.
They may not be material items; they may have been gifted to you by a relative who is passed over. My father’s medal ribbon is a powerful memory of strength, service, and willingness to accept risk, but also endeavour, valour and courage.
A memento from my mother brings thoughts of all the things she did for me as I was growing up. When she bandaged and hugged me when I took a fall, or the nights, she spent with me doing homework. She comforted me when I was sick and praised me when I succeeded. She was always there for me.
When you look at your mementos do you see them or do memories associated with them play out in your mind? What can you learn from the memories? Can you see how you are passing on the same vibrations to your own children, and to the animals in your life?
A wedding dress and decorations from a wedding cake speak to hopes for happiness in a future pairing with another, and the first shoes worn by a baby of growth and hopes, wishes and dreams for a future generation.
Just feel the power in these memories, let them wash over you and communicate to you.
Pay attention to the lessons, feelings, thoughts, and experiences brought to you now. As this year unfolds, use these messages of hope to create fresh new memories, and be open to collect new mementoes along your journey.
Now put what is in front of you carefully away so you can bring them out again when you need an emotional recharge.

Feathers—Restoration
Spring is here. The calendar date was March 20, and yet the weather has still been cold. Rain has replaced snow, animals are active, they are looking for mates, and building nests.
Last year you worked, and learned every day. There has been happiness and sadness. Now is the time to take a breath and slow down and appreciate the new world coming to life around you.
Shamans cover their cloaks or headdresses with feathers. The feathers capture and distribute beneficial energies from the animal world and the upper and lower worlds they journey to. Feathers are sacred.
Feather provides confirmation of your guardian angels, to find a feather lost by a bird flying freely over your head is a message your guardians are with you and looking after you. A feather is incredibly personal to your current circumstances, dreams, and goals.
All the worries, trials and tribulations of the past need to be set aside. Do not carry them like old clothes that should be disposed of. The feather is a message to let go of the worries and pains of living life it is not all about worries and struggle, there has to be time for your soul to rest.
There has to be time for you look up and forward to the new world being created around you.
The feather connects you with yourself, the Great Spirit, and the bird that lost the feather as it flew freely above you.
The feather brings a sense of freedom that only a bird can give you. Take this time to refresh yourself, become more grounded and in tune with your spirit. A bird that is not in tune with itself has difficulty flying.
This year you will be asked to fly, now is the time to get in tune with your life path, your dreams, and your hopes.

Soul Retrieval – Reclamation
If you are, or have been concentrating on the needs of others and not yourself you must be feeling tired and exhausted. Helping others is a wonderful thing to do, but when the needs of others become more important than your own, you have to look at your own self-worth and whether it has become neglected and also set aside in preference of others.
When you give others, more value than yourself a part of your soul is lost. If you stop for a moment and take a breath, you can see who you have become, and what you were before you gave away so much of yourself.
This card is sent to you to encourage you to separate yourself from all those who are taking from you and making you subservient to their soul and spirit. Now is the time for two important things to happen.
You need to start saying No to the demands of others. No! is a powerful word. It breaks the spell others have over you. It may be difficult for you to say if you have been the servant of others for a long time, and it requires you to be firm and committed to the word and not go back on once you have said it.
You need to undertake a soul journey, perhaps with a shaman, to gather the parts of your soul and spirit that have been lost or no longer seem to be alive within you. The shaman will help you reintegrate the parts that have been lost and help you become whole again and at peace with who you are.
When you are at peace, your power to be who you are will return to you, allowing you to make your own decisions, follow your own path in harmony and completeness.

Air – Creativity
Take some time to meditate and connect with your intuition and spiritual self. Air is energetic and will give vitality to your hopes and dreams. It will push you to use your creativity to bring new purpose to your existence.
Look long and hard at any doubts, fears and negativity about your ideas and ability to create. Negativity will take you, off course. Negativity if left unchallenged will make you doubt yourself and ability, your creativity and all aspects of your life.
If you breathe energy and life into your creative ideas, you will see a new life open up for you. One that brings more and more life energy and you will start to see your ingenuity take over and multiply your creative opportunities. Paint, draw, write, create in whatever way appeals to your spirit and your intuition. Relying on your intuition will serve you well as you create.

Medicine Bag – Treasure
This card is a reminder to pay attention to the things you have brought with you through your life to this point. The material things you are looking at are linked to memories. The medal ribbon of a parent who served their country bravely brings a particular type of memory. A powerful memory of strength, service, and willingness to accept risk and perhaps pay the ultimate price.
A memento from your mother brings thoughts of all the things she did for you as you were growing up. When she bandaged and hugged you when you took a fall or the nights, she spent with you doing homework. She praised you when you were sick and praised you when you succeeded. She was always there for you.
A wedding dress and decorations from a wedding cake speak to hopes for happiness in a future paired with another that manifest in the first shoes worn by a baby.
There is a lot of power in these material things and the memories they stir in you. Pay attention to the lessons and experiences brought to you with these thoughts and feelings. As this year unfolds, there are messages of hope for creating fresh memories, and new things to collect along your journey.

Cave – Retreat
A cave offers a home away from the dangers, stress, and aggravation of daily life. In the modern life, we are always running here and there. Our mind is in constant turmoil and filled with the noisy chatter of our egoic mind. All these stresses have a negative effect on us, they wear us down.
Cave is a retreat, a literal cave or an emotional cave. It is a place to go to and rest away from the negative energies that can consume the good in our soul and spirit.
It is time now to slow down and spend some time away from the demands of others so you can concentrate on you, your hopes, your dreams, and the messages your guides are sending you. Messages just for you, messages to help you grow and develop.
You need to move forward, evolve and change but cannot if your energy is drained away by others. You have learned where you can retreat to heal and shed the negative energy of others and life in general. After a period of tranquility, you are ready to seek your goals, ambitions and dreams.

Buried in the Earth - Transference
This card, this energy was sent to you at the start of this month. The message remains the same. But with the added energy of asking you to pay attention to the message and finding a way to apply the vitality in them to your challenges, your life, and your future.
This is a time to look for energy, thoughts and ideas that have not made it to the front of your consciousness. Ancestor stories, events, circumstances and dreams have all contributed to where you are now.
Think for a moment of an ancestor who moved from one country, city or region to where you are living now. They were not intimidated by the journey they would have to endure and worked hard to make it a reality. They had a vision of where and what they wanted to be. They were open to the opportunities and challenges their new home would bring.
If you have anything physical from your ancestors, a watch, a purse, a piece of jewellery, even a letter or photographs. Gather them together. Find a quiet space, in your home or in a park, somewhere where you can hold the items and look at them, feel them.
There is a moment of connection.
The energy of that connection flows from the journeys and challenges of your ancestors to you. If you are facing challenges let the energy of the past flow into you and help you face what is in front of you whether it is physical or emotional. Your ancestor’s energy will help you move forward.
When you are finished, place all the items you have in a place where you can find them easily and take them out again in the future if you feel challenged by what is in front of you.
Action
Very appropriate for the message in Buried in the Earth.
Storms are revitalizing. They rain and blow and in so doing they cleanse the land of broken branches and blockages on the surface of the earth.
The winds are blowing and the rain washing your soul and spirit. The storm is also cleansing dreams and wishes. Do not be afraid of the storm or the cleansing of your hopes and dreams.
Take the energy from your ancestors to smooth the path of changes being redyed in your life. Now is the time to use your energy, together with those who went before, to look at the possibilities, the options, and your hopes.
It is time to make decisions, even if the path is not clear, it is better to take Action! Move forward rather than stay still and static. You are like the tree that bends in the wind, not the one that stays still and tries to stand against the storm and is broken down by the change that is coming.

Upper World—Future
The Upperworld is the dwelling place of sentient spirits and souls that are beings of love and light. They are all knowing and giving. It is to the Upperworld that a shaman journeys as part of their search for knowledge and understanding when they are tasked with a healing request.
The spiritual vibration of the Upperworld is higher than the plane of existence we inhabit physically and much higher than that of the Lower World and especially that of the Underworld.
This is all about your potential. Can you open up and receive from the Upperworld and show your true potential? Your potential is to bring benefits and spiritual help to others around you, including pets and animals. You may think it means being a suitable partner, parent, friend, child, or helping and caring for an animal that is challenged in some way.
The blessing sent to you from the Upperworld may be small, not large. Pay attention to it and allow yourself to benefit from it and give back by doing what you are guided to provide to those around you.
Wonders
This card comes to you for the third time this month. The repetition is a statement from the universe to pay attention and listen!
In ancient times, natural rock crystals such as amethyst, citrine, rose, clear or smoky quartz were revered. Australian Aboriginals called it Maban, and it was the crystal through which Shamans and elders gained their magical powers.
Crystals are also used in the manifestation of intentions, both good or ill. If a crystal is found on the surface of the ground, it is especially potent for the finder as the two came together in an open natural environment.
This is a message of impending abundance and possibilities arriving soon. Embrace the opportunities and changes coming to you. The more you do so, the more will manifest for you.
The appearance of the card reinforces that it is time to celebrate all abundance and possibilities coming to you. No matter how small or large, applaud them all. Most important as you celebrate release all expectations of what the Universe will gift you. Be open to all that comes your way, reject nothing.

Wisdom
The surface of the sea is very different from what is happening in the depths. This is a message of looking beneath the surface of your life. Beneath the feelings and turbulence of your emotions and thoughts.
Look at your inner self to see how deep down, you are doing. All maybe conflict and struggle on the surface but deep down you are happy and peaceful. It is time to recognize the disconnect been your daily life and what is inside. Of course, the opposite may be true, in the surface you are peaceful and beneath that placid exterior your emotions and thoughts are raging.
A disconnect between the surface you and the inner self is stressful and drain your energy. On this Valentine’s Day, take a moment to recognize this and how it drains you. The energy you lose this way affects all in your life who you love. There is less of you for them to receive love and energy from.
Now is the time for you to use your essential wisdom to recognize this and be determined not to let your presence, your love and energy drain away uselessly and without purpose. They deserve more and you deserve to receive more from them.
Wonders
This card has come to you on Valentine’s Day, a day reserved for expressions of love and affection for those close to you, especially the most precious one in your life.
Crystals are also used in the manifestation of intentions, both good or ill. If a crystal is found on the surface of the ground, it is especially potent for the finder as the two came together in an open natural environment.
The card has come to you today with a message of impending abundance and possibilities arriving soon. Embrace the opportunities and changes coming to you. The more you do so, the more will manifest for you.
It is time to celebrate all abundance and possibilities coming to you. No matter how small or large, applaud them all.
If you are single and hoping to meet someone new who you can love and be loved by, release all expectations of who they are and what they will look like. Be open to the special someone being a pet, animals give unconditional love and reflect back the love of their human owners. The Universe will gift you the person or animal who is most suited to you and able to help you open up to love. This is a clear message of being open to all that comes your way, reject nothing.

Thank you.
Bells—Deflection
Shamans use the sound of bells to ward off evil spirits and dark or lower energies who seek to hurt or damage a person’s soul. In some regions of Siberia, Shamans have a staff made of iron to which bells and other pieces of metal are attached that make a metallic rattling as they walk about.
Bells can ring loudly, or be quite mild in tone, yet the meaning is the same as the person ringing the bells or the evil spirits being warned to leave. By tradition, the person ringing the bells is silent. This focuses the attention of the dark spirits on them.
This is a time to ward off dark spirits trying to damage you or your dreams and intentions. Stay silent and to not let those around you know your intentions, hopes, and goals. In the work space, this can be co-workers who are competing with you for a promotion, or some other advancement or recognition.
Bells may also refer to warning bells intended to warn people away from a truth that someone does not want to share with you or others. Pay attention to the sound of the bells and how intensely they ring and who is silent where they ring the bells. This may lead you to understand what is hidden or where the truth is.
Consider that walking away is not the worst you can do. Negativity and hidden truths drain you and your essential energies. You do not need to suffer that. Do not help others embroiled in dark energies. They will drain your energies while trying to help themselves.
Shamans use bells to clear spaces and people during ceremonies. Clear your space, your home, your vehicle and your workspace. As you do so, allow the sound of the bells to raise your own spiritual vibration. This will not only help your understanding of shamanism; it will shed the negative energies and allow continue to grow and prosper materially and spiritually in life.
Wonders
In ancient times, natural rock crystals such as amethyst, citrine, rose, clear or smoky quartz were all revered. Australian Aboriginals called it Maban, and it was the crystal through which Shamans and elders gained their magical powers.

Buried in the Earth – Transference
This is a time to look for energy, thoughts and ideas that have not made it to the front of your consciousness. Ancestor stories, events, circumstances and dreams have all contributed to where you are now.
Think for a moment of an ancestor who moved from one country, city or region to where you are living now. They were not intimidated by the journey they would have to endure and worked hard to make it a reality. They had a vision of where and what they wanted to be. They were open to the opportunities and challenges their new home would bring.
If you have anything physical from your ancestors, a watch, a purse, a piece of jewellery, even a letter or photographs. Gather them together. Find a quiet space, in your home or in a park, somewhere where you can hold the items and look at them, feel them.
There is a moment of connection.
The energy of that connection flows from the journeys and challenges of your ancestors to you. If you are facing challenges let the energy of the past flow into you and help you face what is in front of you whether it is physical or emotional. Your ancestor’s energy will help you move forward in your efforts to move forward.
When you are finished, place all the items you have in a place where you can find them easily and take them out again in the future if you feel challenged by what is in front of you.
Security
From the earliest time of human history, caves have been a place of refuge. A place where humans could cook and eat, sleep, heal and be safe from predators and enemies. They were also a place where community was experienced. Caves could protect more than just a family unit.
The card shows a warming fire in a cave decorated with an ancient animal. A shaman would guide the painting of these cave decorations. The decorations depicted the world the ancient cave dwellers saw around themselves as well as their hopes and aspirations.
In a time when success at hunting meant plenty for those in the cave, paintings were made showing this vision of an abundant future.
The card comes to you now to tell you that you are protected, secure, and your home like the cave is a place of refuge. As the ancient cave dwellers secured their cave, their home, you put on a seat belt when you drive, you have the insurance paid, you have a lock on the door and you have food and warmth.

Medicine Bag – Treasure
The final reading for January, 2023 and it flows with the same theme of all the other cards in the weekly readings.
Pay attention to the things you have brought with you from the old year and the years before that. The material things you are looking at are linked to memories. The medal ribbon of a parent who served their country bravely brings a particular type of memory. A powerful memory of strength, service, and willingness to accept risk and perhaps pay the ultimate price.
A wedding dress and decorations from a wedding cake speak to hopes for happiness in a future paired with another that manifest in the first shoes worn by a baby.
There is a lot of power in these material things and the memories they stir in you. Pay attention to the lessons and experiences. As the New Year unfolds the message these things bring is one of hope for creating fresh memories, and new things to pick up along your journey.
Joyful Muse - Inspiration
Be more playful now, and in the year ahead. It is time to change your attitude towards yourself and your life.
Circumstances may have made you the way they are right now, but that is no reason to stay that way. In fact, you must not continue the way you are right now. People may find you interesting, and doing interesting things, but inside you are not interesting, you are boring.
The New Year is the time to bring more joy to your life, invite in pleasure and delight. Watch a funny movie and find funny things in the world around you that make you happy.
The Joyful Muse comes when life may seem dark and foreboding. If something unwelcome has come into your life the dark clouds can be dispelled by laughter, beauty, and playfulness. There is an inner child in you. It is time for you to find that child. Look at the world through their eyes for a while as they help you recognise what is fun and natural.

Earth – Nurture
We need to nurture ourselves and our dreams and hopes.
Nurturing ourselves helps us manifest the dreams we hope for. Nurturing means to take care of ourselves and recognise what is not working for us and change it or discard it.
Another way to think about nurturing yourself is to rest and recharge. Not in the way some colleagues refer to it when they come back from a vacation energized to do more and better for the company. The company is not them, their heart and mind, it is external and does not reward in the way recharging a person’s spirit does.
This week, do something for yourself, not for others who will not do the same for you in return.
Spirit of the River – Movement Toward Adventure
A matching theme in this card. The Earth card asked you to nurture yourself. Spirit of the River asks you to go with the flow and stop trying to swim against the current. The current may be dreams that are no longer part of your life, or where never meant to be part of your life.
Perhaps a friend or relative followed their dream, and you looked at it and thought that you should follow it as well. It was not your dream and not meant for you. You have been swimming against the flow of your life and spirit all this time and now you must stop!
Gather yourself and go with the flow of your life. Manifest what is right for you. What is meant for you and expand the meaning of this card “Movement Toward Adventure.”
You are being asked to move toward Adventure in this first month of the New Year, you are not being asked to stand and resist the flow of your life path purpose. Move on!

Drum – Awaken
The rhythm of a Shaman’s drum brings a melody to the ceremonies they perform. This card expands on the theme of the first two weeks of these readings.
Slow down and still the chit-chat of the busy logical mind. Still, the endless cycle of “what if” thoughts that bring you no value, no insight, they only drain your energy and confuse you by hiding the path you should be following.
Drum speaks to nature, Mother Ghia, the earth, to your heart beat and that of your mother when you were in the womb, protected and comfortable. Your creative self, the innovative and expanding right side of your brain, is helping to change you, change your focus, emotions and dreams.
Allow this to flow and grow. Be attentive to the messages you awaken to the possibilities in your spirit and creative mind.
Watchers - Transpersonal
Get off the treadmill even for a moment, slow down and pay attention to the drama happening around you, but stay out of the mele.
Now is the time to hold your thoughts to yourself. Do not engage in the drama. Be yourself and hold your thoughts and advice close to you. Do not share them.
Now is the time to watch and observe. Look to the Horizon of the New Year of possibilities, change and advancement. The surrounding drama is like an anthill compared to what the New Year can bring you.
You have given a lot of energy and yourself to the anthill. Now is the time to leave it behind.

Insects – Support
Change.
Do you have the emotional and or material support you need from family and friends? Perhaps you do not. If so, can you see why? Perhaps it is you who feel unsupported in the way you want or expect to be supported.
It just might be that you are receiving the support you need, but not what you expect or want. This creates a sense of disillusionment and abandonment. Insects bring the strength to adjust and change to your situation and the support you need, not want.
In the animal world, as life and situations change, they adjust to what is happening around them. They do not despair, feel unhappy or abandoned. They adjust and change and become successful. Insects arrive now to encourage you to move on, move forward, and be successful.
Now is the time also to not let the light of your hopes and dreams be diminished by people who disrespect you or mock your actions. Just because they cannot see your dreams and hopes does not mean you need to let go of what you hope and want in the way you want.
Lost Compass – Getting back to Integrity
We all have an internal compass; it helps us recognise what is right or wrong. It helps us navigate the world of change, of people who cannot live the life we hope for because they do not have the vision or courage to expect the best for themselves.
Perhaps they have accepted less for themselves than could have achieved if they had faith in their abilities. Perhaps their dreams are just not as big, bright and colourful as yours?
Not everyone or every ideal has a place in your life, and that is as it should be.
Stop trying to add people or places to your life that have no value, or the wrong value.
This card speaks to getting back to integrity. Integrity is your true self, the authentic self. When you lose and then find your compass, look for true north. That never changes. Sit down and adjust your life, emotions, hopes and dreams in terms of True North.

Plant Medicine – Truth
The key word here is Truth. Have you been fed misinformation, a distortion of the truth, or a complete fallacy that bears no resemblance to the truth? At work, in your personal life, from a friend or partner in business or a relationship?
Shamans use plants to induce an Altered State of Consciousness. In this state, they journey to learn and understand the truth and return that to their client, you, to help you understand what is happening around you and allow you to decide on how to proceed.
The decision will be whether you want your world and the people and things in it to remain the same or change. Allowing things to remain the same will mean continuing in a sort of dream state, where reality differs from what you understand and believe.
If you decide to accept Plant Medicine – the truth, things will never be the same and that is exciting but also requires courage.
Closing Door - Completion
This card brings a message that reinforces Plant Medicine – Truth.
A cycle has ended, a stage in your life has completed. As Plant Medicine spoke about misinformation and your courage to take an alternative path, Closing Door tells you an end has come. Now is the time to move on.
For you to move on, you need to recognise that a job, a place, a relationship, a friendship have nothing for you now. A friendship or relationship you hoped would grow and expand has not. The time is now to stop knocking on doors that will not open. The reason for these hopes not materialising is that they are not right for you.
Your life purpose, and the things that fuel it and benefit you, are elsewhere. You need to recognise that false hopes and dreams drain your energy and create an emotional cage you must break out of. You are asked to take a different direction and break the cage you have created for yourself.
The door that is closing has given you many lessons. Be thankful for what you have learned. Now, move on.

Birds - Freedom
The year has been tiring for many reasons, perhaps too many to list. You desire to soar like the birds. If you are near water, you can watch them swooping and enjoying the breezes moving from water to land and back again.
Your soul is like a caged bird. The stress of living the way you are is the cage denying you freedom.
The end of the year beckons you to the New Year. The Death card symbolizing things that must leave your life so you can move on has already appeared this month. Have you followed its guidance and started to release things from our life? You have received the Feathers card as well, all symbolizing what is ahead and to let go. Be prepared to greet the New Year with excitement and expectation.
If you are in a part of the world where you can open your windows and let fresh air in to your home, do so. This breath of fresh air is the literal breath of new air that you need to breathe. If you cannot open your home because of the weather. Bundle up and go for a walk in a park or near a lake.
The new air in your lungs, its freshness and energy, will motivate you to spread your wings and seize new opportunities the New Year brings. Do not hesitate. When the New Year starts, be prepared also for being free to speak your truth.
The cage for your soul also includes bars that prevent you from speaking your truth. Your honesty is locked away because you fear that what you have to say may not be well received. This confines you and makes you a follower. It takes away your power. The New Year is a time to take back your power and express yourself to the world in your own way on your own terms.

What is the Winter Solstice?
The winter solstice, there is also a Summer Solstice also, is called the hibernal solstice. It occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun.
This happens twice each year in each hemisphere, Northern and Southern. The Winter Solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky.
Either pole experiences continuous darkness or twilight around its winter solstice.
In the North, this is the December solstice, usually 21st or 22nd December. In the South, this is the June solstice, usually 20th or 21st of June.
Although the winter solstice itself lasts astronomically speaking for a moment, the term refers to the day on which it occurs. The day may also be referred to as midwinter.
The winter solstice has great spiritual significance for many ancient cultures and religions which are marked by festivals and rituals. The most famous is the Druid ceremonies at Stone Henge in England, which is shared over the internet today.
The solstice has had special significance since the Neolithic. People in the Neolithic and since then have used Astronomical events such as the Solstice to guide activities they depended on such as the mating of animals, the sowing of crops and the monitoring of winter reserves of food. The winter solstice, in particular, was immensely important to people who economically depended on monitoring the progress of the seasons. It marked the point at which the old year was gone and the New Year was looked on with hope as, from the Solstice; the days grew longer.
Until Humanity could grow an abundance of food year-round and carry the population over the winter months, food shortages and starvation was common in the first months of the winter, January to April northern hemisphere or July to October in southern hemisphere.
Most cattle were slaughtered to avoid having to feed them during the winter, so it was almost the only time of year when a plentiful supply of fresh meat was available. Most wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking. The concentration of the observances was not always on the day beginning at midnight or at dawn, but at the beginning of the pagan day, which in many cultures fell on the previous eve.
Shaman would be called on to conduct ceremonies and festivities, but they would be called on to speak to the spirits of the earth, water, and sky to mediate and divine the coming year for the life and prosperity it would bring. The shaman would be called on to ward off evil spirits that may bring famine or at least shortages to the people.
Wailing Tree – Reconciliations
The Wailing tree is an invitation to stop, and stay where you are. For a while, just a while, not for long. It is an invitation to gather your energies, see what and where you are worn down and where you are strong, and concentrate on building yourself up.
By looking at where your energies are going, you can see where you have people, places, things and events in your life that no longer serve you? They take energy and time from your life, but give nothing back.
Now is the moment as you gather your strength to earn from what you are giving up. Learn from what is no longer working and understand why. If it is right to mourn for something or someone leaving your life, do so. If a reconciliation before they leave is right, then reconcile and move on. It does not need a mutual agreement to move on, just communicate that it is right for you.
Place proper closure on what is gone. There is no negativity in this, no mistake, no error. Learn from it and move on.
It is very appropriate that at the Winter Solstice, this card arrives. This is the balance between the old year and life events and the new ones offering promise and advancement that is to come in the New Year.

Feathers - Restoration
The end of the year is a time to be gentle on yourself. You have worked and learned through all the seconds, minutes, hours, and days of the year. There has been happiness and sadness. Now is the time to take a breath and slow down.
The feather is a message from nature and especially the bird that lost a feather but gave you the message that from all the trials and tribulations of the past year, you will have a good soft landing. The soft landing is a message to let go of the worries and pains of living life is not all about worries and struggle, there has to be time for your soul to rest.
The feather connects you with yourself, the Great Spirit, and the bird that lost the feather as it flew freely above you. The feather brings that sense of freedom that the bird has. Take this time to refresh yourself, become more grounded and in tune with yourself. A bird that is not in tune with itself has difficulty flying. In the New Year you will be asked to fly, now is the time to get in tune with your life path, your dreams, and your hopes.

Death - Transmigartion
The Death card is not the end, it is the beginning. The butterfly changes from the caterpillar, a crawling slow-moving animal into a beautiful flying creature inside a pupa. Inside the pupa, it lets go of the caterpillar and all that it was. The Death card comes now to tell you to let go of what is old and not required anymore.
Like the Butterfly going through a great change, you are being asked to let go of your old caterpillar self and be reborn as a butterfly. Remember, the caterpillar cannot fly if it is always a caterpillar.
In the card, the figure is seen looking into a portal, a doorway to the next stage in their life. Now is the time, at the end of the year when you have learned and experienced from the year when you are asked to look into the New Year and all the potential it can bring.
The first steps of the New Year and the new potential may seem strange and your steps filled with uncertainty and unease, but you will grow strong and move with purpose and enjoyment as you experience the New Year. Have confidence in yourself and the ability to achieve. Do not fear what is new.
Remember, you have what you need from the old year to make a great success of the new year. What you need may be material, a new car, a home, a new relationship. It maybe knowledge and understanding within you. A different way to look at life and people, to understand rather than criticize.
But all of this cannot happen if you do not give up and let the old in you and around you die.

Shaman – Completion
The Shaman has a role, a role that gathers information, knowledge and wisdom in order to help others. This means they are many things: a spirit doctor, a seer, a negotiator, a ceremonialist, and a diviner of the future.
No matter what you call yourself, shaman, healer, priest, elder or simply a parent, spouse, brother or sister not is the time for you to bring harmony, and ease to those around you that do not have rest from their demons and illness.
The path of the Shaman is an ancient tradition dating back to the Paleolithic era when humans first made tools, hunted and gathered. A time when they need someone to speak to the spirits of nature, interpret what they saw in the natural world and guide their footsteps outside the caves in which they lived.
To be a Shaman and walk the path of a Shaman will help you restore your balance and teach you more about the world around you. A parent to an inquisitive child, or to a child that seems listless and uninterested in the world, it is your job to bring life to them.
You may have become separated from your soul spirit, the Spirit of the Shaman. Mediate and think of what you are, think of what you have become over the years. The spirit in you is in your bones, your blood, your eyes, and your hearing. Talk a walk-in nature to gather strength and understand where your heart and mind are and what you will use this knowledge for next. Remember, as a parent, the baby has needs that are not the pre-teen, and the adult is all that has gone before and will be more than it grows and learns.
The Shaman in you is growing and learning as you reconnect with your life path purpose.

Death - Transmigration
This card appears right after Birth and Renewal. For something new to enter your life path, something must leave, so do not be scared or concerned about this card. In the Shaman’s world, this card has a similar meaning to the death Card in the Tarot deck.
You could say it is “out with the old, in with the new.”
This card is a message to let go of the things in your life that are holding you back, holding you down. When you let go, the things that do you no good will leave. Things, people, places and animals that do you good and should be with you will stay and grace your spirit with their existence.
Death also encourages you to let go of behaviours, longing, hopes that are not really hopes but baggage you carry with you from past failures and loss.
Let them go… Let them die… let the fears that hold you back leave you as they will.
When the Shaman looks at you to help you in the journey of your life, they look at the positive and the good, the wisdom and knowledge that will benefit you as you accept the Birth and Renewal spoken about last week.
You will be stronger and wiser because of what is happening now. Accept it and let it carry you forward.

Birth – Renewal
Birth is about death – the next weekly card Nov 28 – and what is new and replaces what has died.
Birth is transformation – renewal of strength from the experience of being close to death. Closeness to death can be a car accident, it and be a health problem, or it can simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But you are alive now and have gained experience and strength from the closeness of ultimate loss.
Learn from the experience and move onward with strength.
Birth is about the steps you take through life. Are you leaving a comfortable job that you have worked at for years and gained recognition for and are now stepping into the unknown of something new? Can you take that step? If not why, what is holding you back when so much is on offer to you if you choose to move forward?
It is time for the Shaman to look into your spirit and see why it is you feel restricted and unable to take the step that Birth and Renewal are asking you to take. It is time for the shaman to give you not just answers, answers you may not like, but are necessary for you to hear.
When you are open to hear the wisdom of the Shaman, Birth and Renewal of your spirit will come to you. This card, followed by the Death card next week, is all about hope and newness and success. But you have to take the step that will bring this about.

Upper World – Future
To the Shaman, the Upper World is where the gods and goddesses exist, where spirit guides welcome you to a place where you can be entirely what you will become.
The World Tree reaches down with its roots to the lower world and ultimately the Underworld. It reaches up with its branches to the Upperworld. Where it appears here, and now in the material world in which we exist.
The world tree in the card is bending one of its branches down for you so you may climb up the tree to the Upper World. This is where you will find advice and guidance that is a higher vibrational energy than what you experience day to day.
The Upper World guidance is about potential. Your potential to grow, be strong, and succeed. This is a time to review your energies and focus on the future. Perhaps you want to focus on the material, but focus is required on the spirit, your spirit. It is the engine inside of your that carries you forward and to achieve.
This is a calling to heal those around you, those you come into contact with. Heal by your presence, your energy, and being. You are the opposite of those who criticize, demean, and objectify.

Altar – Honouring
There is a call to honour those who came before you. You may think of your parents and grandparents. Or, perhaps someone from your family history who did something that profoundly affects your life today. A long past relative that emigrated to a new country where you live and enjoy life.
Of course, you may not know what it would have meant to you to grow up “in the old country” but you know what it means in the here and now.
The altar mentioned here can be literal or it could be figurative. A corner table with pictures from your family history and mementoes could be an altar. It could be a windowsill or shelf near the fireplace. It could be a shelf in a workshop that only you have access to. It could be a park bench where you go to rest and recharge away from the busy world and mind.
It is your intention that matters.
It may include things not from your family history, such as crystals and candles, for burning incense. A crystal may represent earth, red candle for fire, incense for air, blue candle for water, a small mirror for you to look into can represent spirit, your spirit.
The altar focuses your mind and spirit. It is always there to remind you of what and who you are and who came before you, and who will come after you. It is a place where the material and spiritual worlds meet in the here and now.

Crystals – Amplification
Crystals come from the Earth, from Mother Ghia.
Crystals have the power and the energy that was infused in them when they were created by the Geology of time.
Crystals have the power to assist.
They may cleanse, they amplify, and may block hesitation by amplifying your intuition when the right one is applied.
Now is the time to join with the minerals in the crystals to focus on what it is you want to achieve. To know if a crystal is the right one for you, hold it in your hand. If you feel nothing, pick up another and another until you have one that feels “right” for you.
Here is an example…. I was looking for an amethyst crystal several years ago and had a tray of them in front of me. Several attracted me because of their shape and sparkling nature. The Amethyst is associated with the Third Eye Chakra, that is just above the brow line in the middle of the forehead. As I picked up each of what I thought was right for me, I sensed nothing.
Finally, I picked up one that looked a little jagged and ragged at the edges and held it to my third eye. I was amazed to see lines, rather like an old TV set when it is receiving static, except the lines were purple, just like the crystal. That was the one for me.
Don’t focus only on the polished crystal when you are making your choice. When you find a crystal for yourself, hold it between your hands asks your angels and guides to cleanse the stone of any spiritual residue from others who may have handled it. Ask them then to make it yours.

Four Legged – Endurance
Animal spirits have been with you since birth. They are part of your panoply of guides that support and help you through your life. Their energy and wisdom are here for the asking. Look for four-legged friends in this world, a cat, a dog, a horse.
Animal guides influence what is around us and what is in us, how we accept and work with opportunities or challenges.
Because they are your guides, open up to them ask for help, guidance, suggestions.
Sit quietly and close your mind to the noise of what is around you. You will see their paws or hooves in your intuition. Be open to what your intuition tells you and be prepared to act on it.
If we are open to asking for help, do so. Do not be closed in acting on your intuition about and the messages you receive. Be energetic on the help that has been sent.
Whatever your challenges and opportunities, accept the strength your animal guides give you to move forward.

Medicine Bag – Treasure
This is a time to look into the treasured past. Mementoes you have collected, from a holiday, a happy weekend, or a joyful event? Maybe a wedding of a sibling, or an achievement of a sort. Perhaps coming first in a sporting event or being part of a winning team.
These tangible things are a connection to a memory you can hold in your hand. Choose one or two of them to place in a bag, a small bag you could carry in your purse or something that will be with you throughout the day.
Remember, the intention is to have something with you on which you call and receive energy. It may be a wedding ring from a past parent or a past love who is no longer with you, but the memories give you strength and energy.
The energy you receive will help you find a fresh path, or proceed along a path with more vigour, determination, and strength. The memories are also positive, uplifting and beneficial to you. Hold them close and enjoy the warmth and energy you receive from them.
Remember, we learn from the past to create the future. We do NOT live in the past.

Flute – Expression
The Shamanic flute is freedom. It is not played using a musical score, a set of rules to follow. You are not playing your flute in combination with others. You are not part of an orchestra, unless, of course, you choose to be so.
You have your own tune, your own music to play, but you have been finding that hard to play recently. Perhaps you are trying to follow a music score, but the score calls for you to do something different from what your soul desires, expects and wants... needs to play.
Now is the time to switch off from your busy, logical mind that wants to control and manipulate. Get back to what your soul wishes, what speaks to you.
As we recover and get new direction from the pandemic, we can reflect on what we have learned from it.
Now you have the chance to learn to play your flute and do it well. Instead of being stifled, you can fully express yourself. Your passion emerges now.
Flute urges you to play it and be free of the constraints that have blocked your life and you from your life until now.

Shaman – Completion
You are being called on to pay attention to your own needs and wishes so you may know and understand yourself as you look outward to help others
.
The role of the shaman is to bring balance and knowledge to the tribe, to the community, to the family and ultimately to the individual.
Each of us has a life purpose, what we are here on this earth to do, to be. Have you lost your direction, lost your purpose? Have you let others direct you in ways that do not match your intuition, your hopes, and your desires? If your father was an engineer and you have followed his path to engineering, but deep down, your soul tells you to be a doctor, the stress and inner fighting leads to wasted time, energy and life force.
It ultimately hurts and does not give you pleasure in your life. You are disconnected and lack vision of your own because you are following another’s.
Take back your life, take back your purpose, and follow it.
Let a shaman help you and guide to your life purpose. Let the shaman guide you and bring you to the soul and purpose you were born for. The shaman may be in you in some form, a form that can manage this transition for you. It may be a shaman you meet or seek whichever way the shaman appears to you. Recognise you have to move slowly and with focus to the path intended for you.
Soul Retrieval – Reclamation
Do you feel lost, uncertain and lost, without direction and confused?
This can come from focusing on the needs of others and helping them to achieve their life path with nothing being given to you. Helping others can drain and leave you unhappy and dispirited, lost and restless.
Trauma, injury, accident, and being close to someone with negative energy can drain you and cause spiritual hurt and confusion.
Helping others can make you give up a fragment of your soul, causing you to be dispirited. As you have helped others, their values, thoughts, and actions have created the negativity that means you do now feel who you are. You have given up your own power and purpose.
A shaman between the lower and upper levels of spiritual existence seeking your soul fragments and returning them to you and helping you incorporate them back into your greater being.
Call on a shaman to help you join with what has been taken from you and be whole again.

Tree People – Sustenance
Trees sustain so much life. Birds, insect, animals, and their leaves are the lungs of the planet. Under the grass, they support burrowing life and life that rarely comes to the surface.
Shamans look at and appreciate the life of trees and the spirits in them. When a shaman walks amongst trees, they reach out with their spirits and hug the Tree People in the trees. They speak with the Tree People Spiritually.
Trees have a significant part to play in your life and that of a shaman. It is a tree that connects the depths of the Underworld and reaches up to the upper realm of light. The Tree of Knowledge is spoken of in the Book of Genesis. The Bodhi tree is said to have protected The Buddha as he gained enlightenment.
Sitting on the ground at the base of a tree will allow you to connect with the life in the tree and all around it. This simple exercise will awaken the spirit within you. Sitting under trees, as many do in a park and listening to the animals, will also bring awakening. Be thankful for the experience and say so in your thoughts.

Bells - Deflection
Shamans use the sound of bells to ward off evil spirits and dark or lower energies who seek to hurt or damage a person’s soul.
Bells can ring loudly, or be quite mild in tone, yet the meaning is the same as the person ringing the bells or the evil spirits being warned to leave. By tradition, the person ringing the bells is silent. This is so as not to focus the attention of the dark spirits on them.
This is a time to ward off dark spirits trying to damage you or your dreams and intentions. Stay silent and to not let those around you know your intentions, hopes, and goals. In the work space, this can be co-workers who are competing with you for a promotion, or some other advancement or recognition.
Bells may also refer to warning bells intended to warn people away from a truth that someone does not want to share with you or others. Pay attention to the sound of the bells and how intensely they ring and who is silent was they ring the bells. This may lead you to understand what is hidden or where the truth is.
Consider that walking away is not the worst you can do. Negativity and hidden truths drain you and your essential energies. You do not need to suffer that. Do not help others embroiled in the dark energies. They will drain your energies while trying to help themselves.
Shamans use bells to clear spaces and people during ceremonies. Clear your space, your home, your vehicle and your workspace. As you do so, allow the sound of the bells to raise your own spiritual vibration. This will not only help your understanding of shamanism; it will shed the negative energies and allow continue to grow and prosper materially and spiritually in life.

Feathers – Restoration
When you see feathers on the ground recognise, they have been lost by a bird flying overhead. Feathers may come loose for many reasons, but the most likely is the turbulent air.
When you see feathers, ask yourself if you have recently had a rough time. Rough time emotionally, spiritually, or mentally. Have you had a difficult time in your relationship with your partner, your colleagues at work, your relatives, or your children?
How has the rough time affected you? Think of your own soul, not of them.
Allow time to rest and relax, gather your energies and prepare yourself for the next journey in your life.
Some feathers have certain blessings when you see them. Pick them up and keep them. A raven’s feather means magic, rebirth, transition, but above all, renewal.
Now is the time to rest and think of the bird the feather you have picked up came from and find out and absorb the special properties of the bird.

Cave – Retreat
It is time to slow down. Not stop! No, do not stop. Just slow down, physically and mentally. You busy egoic mind has you running everywhere and nowhere. Your mind is full of “what if”, or “what else.” Your ego challenges you and then back away and lets you challenge it. This is the useless conversation you have at night about what might have been today and what could be tomorrow.
Caves were safe places our hunter gatherer ancients would retreat to for protection. Now is the time to retreat inwards and let your guides and Spirit wash away the worry and unfounded concerns of your life.
Let yourself find its balance and harmony by breathing in the clean air of life and feel it pass through your lungs into your blood and through your body.
When this relaxation and cleansing has completed, open your eyes to see the world around you with eyes that are not driven by your egoic mind and the panic it creates. See the world around you and experience it as a gift from the universe for that is what life is.

North – Solitude
North Has many Meanings to a Shaman.
North, take you to the land of snow and ice. It speaks of wonder and life gone underground. It also speaks of our ancestors, those who have gone before who we may know during our lifetime and many we cannot because they passed away a long time ago.
It is also a symbol of moving away from those who have no value in our lives. Those who would control and manipulate us, a boss, or a supervisor, perhaps a spouse. Now is the time to move away from them.
It is also time to plan a retreat, a getaway, a time when you can ponder on what has brought you to this point in your life. Contemplating on being alone for the retreat, or even the next few steps after, is not a negative experience. When you have shed those who are not in your best interest to continue with, believe in the resilience and strength in you. Listen to your intuition and the whispered guidance from your ancestors.
Believe in yourself and the strength you have in yourself and how you will move forward. Now is the time to be alone and strong, purposeful and guided by your spirits and guides. Do not let others manipulate and take you on a path that hurts and damages your soul and separates you from the guides given to you at birth.
Feathers - Restoration

Staff - Foundations
The Shaman’s staff has many meanings and usefulness to a shaman. Once matched, a Staff and the Shaman will be together for the entirety of a shaman’s life. The Shaman’s staff contains a spirit that helps the Shaman during ritual and their shamanic journeying.
A staff is something in the material world that you can rest on to gather your strength after an arduous journey, period, or illness.
Staff also urges you to lean on it and rest. Do not sit down! No, stay standing but use Staff to help take you back a few steps, or a lot of steps to the beginning of the journey you started.
You need to gather strength now and also perspective. It is time to consider where you have been and the physical and spiritual energy you have spent to get to where you are now.
Where you have been helps tell you how much energy you have to gather to complete your goal and achieve your desire.
Journey – Imagination
Life is full of wonderful things. When you venture to see and experience the new, you can play it safe or take a risk. Journey speaks to experiencing the new, not being cautious or playing it safe.
Let’s be clear, this does not mean be reckless or uncaring of the safety of yourself or other spirits and guides who are with you. Your guides and spirits are with you always, and yet they are respectful of your soul’s free will.
In the Journey you may meet people and go places you have always dreamt of in your imagination. This is the time to explore your dreams and wonderment around you and no longer pay attention to those who warn or coerce you in not explore.
Exploring new things, having new experiences, are all beneficial for your soul and your spiritual growth. Remember to explore is just that you can do something new once and gain the knowledge and experience you are here to gather. You do not have to repeat it repeatedly.

Sitting on the ground at the base of a tree will allow you to connect with the life in the tree and all around it. This simple exercise will awaken the spirit within you. Sitting under trees, as many do in a park and listening to the animals, will also bring awakening. Be thankful for the experience and say so in your thoughts.
Lodge – Counsel
Shaman speaks openly and from the perspectives of teachers, educators and wise members of the tribe who bring the spiritual world to the discussion.
Sometimes in life, when going it alone is the only way to move forward with your hopes and desires. If no one will journey with you as you seek to learn and understand your goals and dreams, then you must attempt it all by yourself.
Yet sometimes it is advisable to get help, help in the doing and help to gain and understand the goals and what they bring to you. Then sometimes slowing down and asking for help from those who can help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
No one gets it all right the first time. Be proud of the new information you have, and ignore the words and advice from those who tell you not to try, or forecast doom and pain for continuing to try.
Remember, this is your life, your soul, and spirit. Not theirs.

Crystals – Amplification.
Crystals come from the Earth, from Mother Ghia.
Crystals have all many of power and energy that was infused in them when they were created by the Geology of time.
Crystals have the power to assist. They cleanse, they amplify, and also block when the right one is applied.
Nos is the time to join with the minerals in the crystals to focus on what it is you want to achieve. To know if a crystal is the right one for you, hold it in your hand. If you feel nothing, pick up another and another until you have one that feels “right” for you.
Here is an example…. I was looking for an amethyst crystal several years ago and had a tray of them in front of me. Several attracted me because of their shape and sparkling nature. The Amethyst is associated with the Third Eye Chakra, that is just above the brow line in the middle of the forehead. As I picked up each of what I thought was right for me, I sensed nothing.
Finally, I picked up one that looked a little jagged and ragged at the edges and held it to my third eye. I was amazed to see lines, rather like an old TV set when it is receiving static, except the lines were purple, just like the crystal. That was the one for me.
Don’t focus only on the polished crystal when you are making your choice. When you find a crystal for yourself, hold it between your hands asks your angels and guides to cleanse the stone of any spiritual residue from others who may have handled it. Ask them then to make it yours.
Feathers – Restoration
When you see feathers on the ground recognise, they have been lost by a bird flying overhead. Feathers may come loose for many reasons, but the most likely is the turbulent air.
When you see feathers, ask yourself if you have recently had a rough time. Rough time emotionally, spiritually, or mentally. Have you had a difficult time in your relationship with your partner, your colleagues at work, your relatives, or your children?
How has the rough time affected you? Think of your own soul, not of them.
Allow time to rest and relax, to think and gather your energies.
Some feathers have certain blessings when you see them. Pick them up and keep them. A raven’s feather means magic, rebirth, transition, but above all, renewal.
Now is the time to rest and think of the bird the feather you have picked up came from and find out and absorb the special properties if the bird.

First Breathe
When a baby is born, there is a need for the doctor to see the first breath and all subsequent breaths are clear, and strong and full. Where you have gotten to be anew and refreshing, strange and energizing for you.
The theme for this July 2022 set of readings has been change, moving on, new experiences and new life. Giving up what is not serving you and learning from that experience as you put down the burden of the baggage you are carrying.
Even if the place you are now is familiar and you have been there many times before. Perhaps you are at a favourite park. You can still practice First Breathe because it is not so much about breathing in through your nose and lungs as it is about a mental approach to where you are.
Practice the familiar being new and interesting. Look around you and see the old as new. See the power of First Breath as energy and enlightenment opening your mind.
Tree People - Sustenance
Trees sustain so much life. Birds, insect, animals, and their leaves are the lungs of the planet. Under the grass, they support burrowing life and life that rarely comes to the surface.
Shamans look at and appreciate the life of trees and the spirits in them. When a shaman walks amongst trees, they reach out with their spirits and hug the Tree People in the trees. They speak with the Tree People Spiritually.
Trees have a significant part to play in your life and that of a shaman. It is a tree that connects the depths of the Underworld and reaches up to the upper realm of light. The Tree of Knowledge is spoken of in the Book of Genesis. The Bodhi tree is said to have protected The Buddha as he gained enlightenment.
Sitting on the ground at the base of a tree will allow you to connect with the life in the tree and all around it. This simple exercise will awaken the spirit within you. Sitting under trees, as many do in a park and listening to the animals, will also bring awakening. Be thankful for the experience and say so in your thoughts.

Death
The Death Card is not death literally. It is death in the sense of something you need to let go of so that something new can be born.
This could be a relationship, a job, or a commitment that no longer serves its purpose to you or your spirit. You need to move on to a new phase of your existence on this earth. This may seem hard if what no longer serves your purpose is a skill or thing you have loved and filled you with happiness.
When I started scuba diving, I was mesmerized by the underwater world and the life shown to me. When I gave up scuba, a valued instructor friend of mine told me that even you I was stopping the activity, I had seen and experienced things most people do not. He was right, and I was grateful.
In that gratitude, I was so aware of the fact that life was moving on and new things and people were coming in to my life that would be equally exciting but differently.
A Shaman knows that when we move from one phase of existence to the next, there is a transfer of knowledge, skills, and wisdom from one to the next. Discard nothing of what you have learned before from the new world you are moving in to. In the end, your life will be a sum of all the activities, knowledge, and experience you have gained through your time in this world.
Fools Embrace
The Fool’s Embrace is closely entwined with the Death Card and the fact it appears now is a good, not a bad omen.
As the Death card speaks to our journey into a new phase of our existence, the Fool's Embrace speaks to the disappointment and pain from the life we are leaving and the need to surrender what is not working for us.
As we move from one day to the next, one year to the next, we need to learn that we do not need to carry with us the hurts and pains of previous experiences. It is OK to leave them behind. Leave them behind, now! Look at what you have left behind and learn from your actions.
The Fool in this card is at the start of a new phase of your life and the fresh adventures you will experience and learn from and, at the end, when you look back at what you have learned. In being there, he will never let you down and never betray you. Be prepared to grow and change in the next phase of your life.
These two cards complement each other. Look at both and take comfort from both and look forward.

Bells – Deflection
This is the same message as last week, July 4th. Something is not clear. Acceptance of the message and thoughts from last week has not sunk in so they are repeated. Pay Attention!
Tribes that follow shamanism use bells to ward off dark or lower entities, evil spirits and pending danger. When bells ring to alert others of these dangers, the person ringing the bells is silent. Silent because to make a noise would attract the evil spirits and danger to them.
This is a time to keep silent about your plans, wishes, and hopes. Keep them within yourself. Be at peace with the fact you are just being silent, you are not hiding anything as in being secretive. Now is not the time to speak out and attract attention to you. Jealousy, criticism, anger,
expressions of doubt can be attracted to someone who has something they do not. Now is not the time to have your plans and dreams influenced by outside drama.
If negativity is directed at you or your dreams and hopes, now is the time to walk away from those directing negative energy at you and what you are trying to create. If you do not have the courage to walk away from negative people and places, your energy will be drained and you will start to doubt your dreams and hopes.
Shamans use bells to clear space and ceremonies of negative and dark or lower energies. Now is the time to listen to bells and allow them to clear your space.
Listen to music that includes bells and the bright sound they make to help clear your inner thoughts and make your dreams a reality. If you can put up wind chimes or bells at your front door, do so. Hearing the cleansing sound of bells or chimes as you leave or return to your home will soothe and help dispel any negative energies or thought you may have.
Lost Compass
A compass can become lost in two ways. Either the compass I not providing the correct direction, or the compass itself is lost, fallen from a pocket or a backpack.
In the meaning of this card, it is the former losing direction. North is not North anymore. It could be South, or East or West. The compass could be just a few degrees off so. When a compass is off by a slight error, it can have a big effect on when you think or hope to have reached your goal.
We have all heard of people who have dedicated their life to something only to find they followed the wrong path and are not where they expected to be, and then accept something lesser than what they expected.
The Lost Compass card is appearing now to encourage you to seek new mentors, new guides, new councillors. These fresh energies in your life will bring you back to the path that is right for you and will get you to where you need to go.
Getting to where you want to go may mean letting go of past goals and moving in a new direction. You have the energy to make that change. Be prepared for criticism and doubts over the changes you are making, but look within and be sure of your own intuition and your own guides and councillors and make the decisions that are right for you.

Garden of Venus
Now is the time to stop struggling, fighting, contesting. If this sounds like your workspace, or your relationship space, shed all of that energy sapping negativity now! The garden of Venus is a place of rest, beauty and relaxation. It is a space where you can sit and contemplate love in all its forms.
It may be your partner, your friends, your pets, that take centre stage now, but sink into the love in this unique space and be prepared to look up at the stars and wonder at how you can be so blessed.
Struggle and fighting weary you, drain your emotional and physical energy. Enter what? to you is your Garden of Venus and recover and recoup. Take back your energy and be prepared to wait there until you are energized again.
When you enter alone into the Garden of Venus, it is for a purpose. You do not need to share your re-energizing garden space with anyone. We all have our own needs and ways of satisfying them. Let your partner and friends recover in their own special way.
The Garden of Venus is renowned for having a pool of healing water. This could be your washbasin or just some water on the side of the street. Look into it and look at what is looking back at you. Do you like what you have become?
Take handfuls of water and splash it on your face, and in your thoughts, think of the water cleansing what you dislike in what you see of yourself. Then, look at your reflection and be at rest with what you see the second time. Be at peace with what life has made of you and accept yourself.

Perfect Storm – The Curiosity to Step into Life
The Perfect Storm is a violent storm arising from a rare combination of adverse meteorological factors, or it can be a critical state of affairs, arising from several negative and unpredictable emotional and personal factors.
Be careful to be at the centre of the storm, not at the edge. This is a storm created exactly for you, and only you. Not only will you witness the storm more closely, but you will not be thrown around as you would be at the edge.
The less you resist the changes brought by the Perfect Storm, the happier you will be.
This is a time to see the things that are thrown around at the edge or thrown out of the storm entirely. Watch them smash on the ground and be destroyed. Those things smashed on the ground are not required in your life. You have held on to them too long and now you need a storm such as you are experiencing to unburden you from them.
The storm may bring many changes, some you will feel too great for you to manage. Seize the moment, even if it feels you have bitten off more than you can chew. Have faith in yourself and your life that nothing will be presented to you that you cannot succeed at.
Sky Bridge – Possibility for Union
The Sky Bridge card is another representation of change in your life. The need to change, now, not later. Imagine a path through the mountains that suddenly comes to a ledge from which you must have faith that if you take the leap, you will not be failed by your angels and guides. They have brought you here because the timing is right for you to take a leap, move on. What is behind you has brought you to this point. It has prepared you. Now is the moment to take what you know and move on to something new.
What is new may be personal, it may be spiritual, it maybe physical. Do not confuse your ability to move forward with the way you have planned your current life. Your ability to move in a new direction and create a new life for yourself is manifest in why you are at this point in time and place.
This is the moment we have often heard of; a successful lawyer who becomes a chef, an IT manager who becomes a cartoonist of renown. Grow with what is offered to you.
Say yes!
Let the universe take care of the details.

Stranger – Curiosity
The Stranger is you! The other part of you, the other side of you. It is a shadow self that moves in lockstep with you. Always seeking the known and understood. Avoiding what is new and unexperienced. It is a part of you that looks at the world and opportunities that open up to you as things to avoid. It is the part of you that sees these opportunities as something to fear.
This is a time to learn about the new things available to you and your participation in them. It is a time to learn about yourself, why you fear change and newness. Why you feel sameness is the only option in life. The changes may not all be enjoyable and happy, but as you enjoy the positive changes, accept and understand the negative. Do not look for the big bang ahha moment. Allow the voice of small change to come into your life. Allow a different point of view to enter your life.
Take the risk and enjoy the moments that come to you as you accept change.
The Crossing – rite of passage, initiation
This card follows on from The Stranger. It reinforces the need to move on and change by picturing your life as a river you have to cross to continue your life journey on the other side. Do not give up on the idea of crossing the river or the Stranger that walks beside you avoiding what is new and unknown.
You are at the crossing because you are ready for it. Step into the boat and let it take you to the other side where there is light and all this holding you back is illuminated and examined before being shed allowing you to move forward in your life’s journey.

Root Girl – The Disowned Self
The card depicts a girl, naked, dirty and shunned because of her deformities. She sits on the ground at the base of a powerful tree, the Tree of Self. She is comfortable at the tree and burrows underground and rests at the root of the tree. Is she perhaps a part of yourself you have shunned and avoided?
She is part of you because she is you. We all have failures in life, but it is how we perceive and change them that makes them stand out like mountains or as flat as the steppes. Lashing out at our failures, especially if they are repeated failures, is this child calling to be recognised, and loved, not shunned?
Being able to grasp this is a turning point in your ability to deal with your failures and how you feel about them. Perhaps you cannot change the failure, but dwelling on it brings emotions to the surface that are not worthy of you.
This card is asking you to accept your failures, learn from them and grow from them, dwell on the acceptance and allow unworthy emotions to drain away. Once you embrace the Root Girl, show love and understanding. You can move forward and receive the blessings the world is ready to give you. You are ready to enjoy your life.
Will-of-the-Wisp – Treasures Hidden in the Shadows
An opportunity to move on, change and discover the treasures hidden in the mists of life. To move into the mists of your life requires you to give up the old, tried-and-true approach to living that has served you well up to now.
This is about what is more in your life than you have experienced so far. The tried and true is only a part of what is holding you back. Also, holding you back are the golden handcuffs of your current work, way of living, and familiar walls of your prison of life. What is comfortable and familiar is not what you need right now, and the Will-of-the-Wisp encourages you to try the new and the unknown.
Take a moment to pause and consider the pursuit of adventure as compared to the certainty of what you meet every morning when you wake up. Compare your comfort zone with adventure and discovery. Look at the well-worn path you are on compared to the detour that may lead to new horizons.
This is the time to trust in yourself and your guiding angels and what the Will-of-the-Wisp is offering you. And there is so much to gain my making the changes required, bounty, goodness, and love are all available to you now. You just need to accept and make the move the Will-of-the-Wisp requires of you.

Lay of the Land – Ancestral Freedom
This is a card of adventure and change. When you look at your life, you see an opportunity to make changes you have always wanted to. When you consider the lay of the land, the lay of your life, the opportunities and challenges, you see how you could change and the paths others have taken along the same path as you are contemplating.
Now is the time to seek a mentor, or make use of one you already have in your life that you have been ignoring. A mentor is another word for guide. It could be a spiritual guide that has been with you since birth and you have only been vaguely aware of. They not only show you the path you should take, they also show you have better to enjoy your life.
Take the time to learn about your mentor and the path they have already taken. The path they are showing to you provides for success and happiness in all that matters to you.
Along this path, you will find treasure and gifts that others who have gone before you have failed to pick up or abandoned on their own journey along this path. Be open, be happy, and be adventurous.
Wood Wives – Adaptability
The Dance of the Wood Wives is firstly about being grounded in all things, in all aspects of your life. You need to be clear about your life, what it is and where and what you are doing. Once grounded, you can look at your life, see what you will and will not tolerate, where are your boundaries are with others. Being grounded gives you security and the ability to grasp opportunities and changes and resist what you do not want.
The cycle of good fortune is turning in your favour and a gift, a blessing, is about to be given on you. Your groundedness will help you seize the blessing, appreciate and enjoy it. To enjoy it fully, you need to be flexible. Flexible enough to receive and flexible enough to gain maximum enjoyment and growth from what arrives.
Wood Wives are also an expression of change the blessing brings you. The blessing brings change.
Adaptability, the subtext for this card is required of you now. If you are not adaptable to the gifts and changes given you by the blessing you will receive, you will not benefit from it as much as you should or could.
Inflexibility may mean you miss the opportunity, or stumble and fall when you should stand tall and moving with your new gifts. Inflexibility in the face of change may cause confrontation and unhappiness. This will pass, but adaptability to what you are offered will allow you to avoid it.
What is offered may be so new that you start to worry about how far you can go. Is this a fear of failure that needs to be pushed aside as you move forward? Do not draw a “line in the sand” that are limits to how far you think this opportunity will take you? Do not draw lines in the sand. Let the change take you as far as it will take you.

Birds – Freedom
A caged bird will not experience the wind under its wings, it will not soar, it will not express itself in flight. Neither will your soul if you do not give it the freedom it requires needs to grow and develop.
For a bird to fly safely, it must always be aware and sharp eyed, ready to change its flight path if danger or obstacles appear.
This card brings a message that it is time to prepare your wings and sharpen your senses and eyes. Opportunity in this human, physical world is about to soar into your life.
For the opportunity to benefit you, you must be ready to break with what is holding you to where you are now. What are the things that hold you down and stop you from soaring, place, time, people, inflexibility?
As you prepare to spread your wings and take a new opportunity, be ready and accepting of the fact that there is no wrong or right, the fact that you make a decision, take an action is what counts. That action sets you free.
Journey – Imagination
Now is the time to see your imagination as your intuition. Sounds strange doesn’t but neither imagination or intuition has any material substance yet we can act on them and bring great results from doing so.
What is important is that you trust your imagination and your intuition. In that trust you will take opportunities as they appear and journey into new and different territories, new and strange ideas and meet people you would not normally do so.
As you move through unfamiliar territory and experiences, you will approach and get to know guides and spirits that have been with you since birth and now help you if you will let them. Another aspect of trust and new experiences.
This card brings anticipation of new experiences, joy, happiness and the strength to seize new opportunities and live life fully than you have been doing so far.

Crystals – Amplification
This card and the message it contains appeared last week. For the second time this month you are asked to engage with crystals and experience the energy they can give you.
As a reminder you need to get out there now and take positive action to gather the energy of crystals.
Many people have a close affinity to the world of crystals. Crystals, as the affirmation says, simplify the energy required for healing, connecting to sprits and guides as well as energizing your soul and your physical self.
The card comes at a time when you are asked to partner with crystals and benefit from the closeness of the feelings you get from them
Whether you use the crystals for your own benefit or to help heal others, the time is now for you to engage with them.
Shaman most especially recognises that nature, all of nature, is vibrant, and alive. As shaman connect with crystals they aim to heal and help as well as amplify energy for their own purpose and soul.
Now is the time for you to take the lead and gather the energy of the crystals for your own good. Spring is upon us in the northern climates. Animals and people are looking to create the next generation through new relationships and pairings.
Connecting with crystals allows you to grow stronger and more purposeful. You do not have to connect with a large crystal, something you can carry in your pocket or the corner of your purse is all that is required.
Now go and get your crystal and make it yours, carry it with you always.
Flute – Expression
The Shamanic flute is freedom. It is not played using a musical score, a set of rules to follow. You are not playing your flute in combination with others. You are not part of an orchestra, unless, of course, you choose to be so.
You have your own tune, your own music to play, but you have been finding that hard to play recently. Perhaps you are trying to follow a music score, but the score calls for you to do something different from what your soul desires, expects and wants... needs to play.
Now is time to switch off from your busy, logical mind that wants to control and manipulate. Get back to what your soul wishes, what speaks to you.
The pandemic has been difficult for all of us. It may have upended your world and given you the chance to learn to play your flute. Instead of being stifled, you can fully express yourself now. Your passion, for your passions, emerges now. Flute urges you to play it and be free of the constraints that have blocked your life and you from your life until now.

Ancestors - Wisdom
Ancestors may be past family. Not just family, as in our parents or grandparents, but ancestors from much further back into your past. Ancestors may be siblings who have passed over. We experience our parents and, hopefully, grandparents, but others from further back we may not know them at all, but they influence us nevertheless.
Imagine a great, great grandparent who left their village, their city, their country to find a new and better life in the new world as it was opening up. You were born in the country they moved to. You benefit from the advantages they hoped and aspired to, but you never knew them.
Now is the time to spend time, a few minutes thinking of them, bring a memory of them to life and find in their challenges and experiences the benefits you are enjoying and give thanks. Now it is your turn to move forward with faith in the future, just as they did. If there are hurts and pain in the past, try to release them. If you are carrying a burden from their long-ago life, it is not doing you any good.
To help with moving forward with assurance and releasing any long past hurts, call on the wisdom of all your collective ancestors to put these things at rest

Dreamweaver - Accessibility
Dreams can be reality. Pay attention to them when you wake up. Make notes of what you they mean.
Are the dreams of the past, or the future? When the dreams represent the past or the future, how far into the past, or the future do they go?
In the dream world, the Shaman knows that time is both limitless and the same all at the same time. The past, present, and future are all present at the same moment.
The Dreamweaver card will help you understand what is happening. It will allow you to interpret the meaning of the past you are being shown and how the future relates to you in the here and now.
Use what the Dreamweaver gives you, together with your intuition, to understand and interact with the people and events that face you. If you face a difficult personal relationship, use the Dreamweaver to help you understand what in your dreams applies to your challenge.

Conch Shell - Calling
Conch shells are shamanic trumpets. Like a vigorous alarm, the sounding of the Conche shell is a wake-up call. Have you been asleep?
This card is a repeat of March 28. This is a reminder, a prod in the ribs telling you to wake up and be active.
Your busy mind, your busy life, is blocking you from hearing the message of spirit and the offering the universe is sending you. Is something wonderful staring you in the face yet you do not see it?
This is time to connect with your true essence. That which makes you enjoy and move and progress within yourself, not because someone else wants you to.
The subtext on the card is “Calling.” Calling you to action, action that will make you happy and enjoy the world and your spiritual existence.
Spend some time alone. Feel the energy of your spirit and the calling to which you are awakening. Now is the time to move and grow, be what you are. Enjoy this wake up call!

Middle World - Present
This is the here and now, the present. We cannot relive yesterday; we cannot take back the words and deeds of yesterday whether they were good or bad. We may plan and hope for tomorrow, but until it arrives and the decisions we make today have to have lived and breathed, we cannot give them substance. These things we call reality because we live and endure them today.
If we are not fully connected with the Middle World, the here and now, we feel dislocated and out of place, out of time. Not only are we feeling out of place in the physical world, but we have lost connection with our past lives and our ancestors and we struggle and that struggle is draining.
We may want to journey to other worlds, the upper world of beneficial spirits and White Shaman. But we may be attracted to the lower world or even the underworld of malevolent spirits and Black Shaman. One will help us; one will drag us further down into our sense of not belonging.
Draw close to the Upper World and bring back the benefits of healing, wisdom and love and brightness.
Even the lower and under worlds can teach you about yourself and what the essence of these worlds can do to us. But it is up to you to journey and experience and stand back from what is happening and understand and take positivity from negativity. Be careful.
There is a balance to be found and lived here on this physical plain. A balance to be achieved and lived. This is your test this week.
Flute - Expression
The Shamanic flute is freedom. It is not played using a musical score, a set of rules to follow. You are not playing your flute in combination with others. You are not part of an orchestra, unless, of course, you choose to be so.
You have your own tune, your own music to play, but you have been finding that hard to play recently. Perhaps you are trying to follow a music score, but the score calls for you to do something different from what your soul desires, expects and wants... needs to play.
Now is time to switch off from your busy, logical mind that wants to control and manipulate. Get back to what your soul wishes, what speaks to you.
The pandemic has been difficult for all of us. It may have upended your world and given you the chance to learn to play your flute. Instead of being stifled, you can fully express yourself now. Your passion, for your passions, emerges now. Flute urges you to play it and be free of the constraints that have blocked your life and you from your life until now.

Dreamweaver - Accessibility
Dreams can be reality. Pay attention to them when you wake up. Make notes of what you they mean.
Are the dreams of the past, or the future? When the dreams represent the past or the future, how far into the past, or the future do they go?
In the dream world, the Shaman knows that time is both limitless and the same all at the same time. The past, present, and future are all present at the same moment.
The Dreamweaver card will help you understand what is happening. It will allow you to interpret the meaning of the past you are being shown and how the future relates to you in the here and now.
Use what the Dreamweaver gives you, together with your intuition, to understand and interact with the people and events that face you. If you face a difficult personal relationship, use the Dreamweaver to help you understand what in your dreams applies to your challenge.
Medicine Mask - Authenticity
The mask asks you to face up to who you are. No more hiding behind conformity, groups and teams. No more hiding behind the rules and processes of your work. Now is the time to drop the mask and reveal who you authentically are.
Conformity, groups and teams are all about your desire to fit in, be one guy, or gals. To gain glory and stature by being in a team or group that confers success and togetherness without allowing individuality and creativity.
A Shaman will wear a mask associated with the qualities of the spirit they are invoking. But this is a for a purpose, a healing session. You have been wearing a mask to hide behind, or at the very least not allow your true authentic self to be seen by the world. If you make your own medicine mask, make sure it is in tune with your own qualities and values.
Make sure the values and qualities are clearly seen. This is not the time to be a crowd pleaser or follower. Let the mask be powerful and show your pride, sincerity, and involve yourself in a loving relationship. Be genuine and be credible.

Tree of Life - Conception
Growth. Nothing can grow if it is not nourished.
An idea I just an idea unless you give it some foundation in reality. If you need to build or make something to give your idea meaning, this is the time to do it.
If it is a person or animal, you are considering. Things that stimulate their mind, their personality and their activity are important to help them grow and be more than they were the day, week, or month before.
Tree of Life is Conception. If you are thinking of bringing a child into this world, remember. It is a divine being, and conceiving brings intense responsibility.
Just as we have responsibility for the growth and development of an idea, a child or a pet, so are we responsible for the changes those things will bring in us. Learning how to teach a child a skill also changes us as we learn the skill and how to teach it.
When you look at an idea that has not come to fruition, so are we looking at a tree that is no longer growing, or has not foliage or bad and withering roots.
Take responsibility for the growth and development of your own personal tree of life. Be accountable now for your own growth and development. Be ready to accept the challenges and the joy the Tree of Life brings you.
Four-Legged - Endurance
Animal spirits have been with you since birth. They are part of your panoply of guides that support and help you through your life. Their energy and wisdom are here for the asking. Look for four-legged friends in this world, a cat, a dog, a horse.
Animal guides may not seem real, but they can influence what is around us and what is in us, how we accept and work with opportunities or challenges.
Because they are your guides, open up to them ask for help, guidance, suggestions. You will see their paws or hooves in your intuition. Be open to what your intuition tells you and be prepared to act on it.
If we are open to asking for help, do not be closed in acting on your intuition and the messages you receive. Be energetic on the help that has been sent.
Whatever your challenges and opportunities, accept the strength your animal guides give you to move forward.

Medicine Wheel - Continuation
Each situation in life provides you with a learning experience. We learn equally from the good and happy experiences as we do from the bad and upsetting. We experience these events in order to gain understanding.
When you look at the Medicine Wheel card, consider yourself stepping inside the wheel and seeing the continuity of existence in the circle. Look to the North and the over your shoulder to the East. Turn around and look to the south, then over your shoulder to the West.
Then turn around and you are facing North. It is a continuity of life. We speak about “moving on” from a situation, but in reality, we are turning inside the wheel to another experience and using what we have learned to succeed at the next challenge in a different direction.
If there is a place you always go to relax and detach from a stressful life, imagine that place as also being your special place where you have your own Medicine Wheel. The medicine wheel you build is a map, a Shamanic map of you and your life. When you step into your own personal Medicine Wheel you gain the benefit of the power the ring gives you to move forward with more assurance and learning from past events.
Sea Creatures - Immersion
Sea Creatures speak to immersion of yourself, your ideas, your thoughts, your feelings and your intuition in a look within to see your limitations. This is a card that tells you to look at what you want to experience, what your wishes are, and recognise that they go beyond your limits.
Put it another way, if one of you hope to write a book, and you do not have pen or paper, or a computer and word processing software, you will never reach your goal of creating your book. Some of us will allow the lack of pen and paper to become insurmountable and not move beyond the blockers.
Yet there are resources all around us. We, just need to look for them and use them.
Immerse yourself in your goals and desires. Acknowledge limitations and move beyond them.
An essential ask of this card is for you to be open to your inner feelings of hope and desire for success and break down the barriers that you allow to stand in your way.
Being open allows you to add fun to the things you do. Making things fun will lessen the sense of effort they require.
Conch Shell - Calling
Conch shells are shamanic trumpets. Like a vigorous alarm, the sounding of the Conche shell is a wake-up call. Have you been asleep?
This card is a repeat of March 28. This is a reminder, a prod in the ribs telling you to wake up and be active.
Your busy mind, your busy life, is blocking you from hearing the message of spirit and the offering the universe is sending you. Is something wonderful staring you in the face yet you do not see it?
This is time to connect with your true essence. That which makes you enjoy and move and progress within yourself, not because someone else wants you to.
The subtext on the card is “Calling.” Calling you to action, action that will make you happy and enjoy the world and your spiritual existence.
Spend some time alone. Feel the energy of your spirit and the calling to which you are awakening. Now is the time to move and grow, be what you are. Enjoy this wake up call!

Birds
Birds move effortlessly in the air, something like your hopes and dreams.
If you have watched a bird flap its wings and take flight, now is the time for you to look at your thoughts and the daydreams you have. It is time for you to find some way to make them real. To release them from the birdcage of thought
Opportunities come to those who are open. Not because they are open and accepting, but because they recognise that what seems to be difficulty is actually a gift in another form.
Look at what has come into your life recently. Has anything seemed to be a challenge, a problem that you cannot overcome? What is it teaching you as you work to succeed at the challenge? It is something that will help you move on and soar in the air, looking down at the things that you once saw as an impediment.
Earth
Earth is solid, it is under our feet. We walk on it and plant our crops in it. We plant flowers and trees that will grow big, and strong, perhaps long after we have left or passed over.
Earth is a powerful reminder of the cycle of life. A seed is planted and nurtured so that it grows and becomes bounty we can harvest. Yet when the farmer or gardener plants the seed, they know they have no way of ensuring the seed will be nurtured in the soil and into what they expect.
This is time for you to look at your ideas, hopes and dreams, look at how they were planted, look at what you have done to nurture them. Can you do more? Are you ready for the ideas to come through the soil into the light and grow and be not what you expected, better than you expected?

Ancestors
Ancestors may be past family. Not just family, as in our parents or grandparents, but ancestors from much further back into our past. Ancestors may be siblings who have passed over. We experience our parents and, hopefully, grandparents, but other from further back, we may not know at all, but they influenced us.
Imagine a great, great grandparent who left their village, their city, their country to find a new and better life in the new world as it was opening up. You were born in the country they moved to. You benefit from the advantages they hoped and aspired to, but you never knew them.
Now is the time to spend time, a few minutes thinking of them, bring a memory of them to life and find in their challenges and experiences the benefits you are enjoying and give thanks. Now it is your turn to move forward with faith in the future, just as they did. If there are hurts and pain in the past, try to release it. If you are carrying a burden from their long-ago life, it is not doing you any good.
To help with moving forward with assurance and releasing any long past hurts, call on the wisdom of all your collective ancestors to put these things at rest
Air
Air, in all forms, is energy. A gentle breeze that is pleasant is energy, so is a tornado. Air is energy blowing in your mind and through your spirit. It is there to allow your ideas to flow and move, to carry you forward to new heights and success.
Air may help to steady you on the ground, just as wind blows at you and you struggle to stand upright, you find how solid the ground is and how you are grounded against the force you are facing.
Air is “something” we experience. We cannot touch it, we cannot trap and contain it, yet it blows in our face, and in our back, pushing us forward. Air is sent to you know to both feel how grounded you are and how well you can move forward.

Medicine Bag
This is a time to look into the treasured past. Mementoes you have collected, from a holiday, a happy weekend, or a joyful event? Maybe a wedding of a sibling, or an achievement of a sort. Perhaps coming first in a sporting event or being part of a winning team.
These tangible things are a connection to a memory you can hold in your hand. Choose one or two of them to place in a bag, a small bag you could carry in your purse or something that will be with you throughout the day. Remember, the intention is to have something with you on which you call and receive energy. It may be a wedding ring from a past parent or a past love who is no longer with you, but the memories give you strength and energy.
The energy you receive will help you find a fresh path, or proceed along a path with more vigour, determination, and strength.
Remember, we learn from past to create the future. We do NOT live in the past.
Medicine Wheel
Each situation in life provides you with a learning experience. We learn equally from the good and happy experiences as we do from the bad and upsetting. We experience these events in order to gain understanding.
When you look at the Medicine Wheel card, consider yourself stepping inside the wheel and seeing the continuity of existence in the circle. Look to the North and the over your shoulder to the East. Turn around and look to the south, then over your shoulder to the West.

Shape Shifter
Do you have a troubling situation in your life? Looking at it from a different angle may help you gain, well, perspective - the second message in the card.
A shaman when they journey will meet and receive help and advice form many different power animals. They will assume aspects of the power animal that brings the best solution to a problem brought to them by a person who needs help.
The traditional power animals are lion or another large cat such as a Tiger, for strength. A leopard or chetah for speed. A monkey for intelligence and agility. A bear for power and wisdom.
Concentrate on the power animal that seems best suited for the problem you want to find a solution to. You intuition will guide you to the animal that best suits your needs. Do not ignore an animal that seems out of place what you "think" you need.
For example, you may think that strength is the way to solve the problem and image in your mind a lion. But you intuition is giving you a butterfly. The delicate and beautiful butterfly may see so wrong for the problem you have to solve. But the butterfly brings delicacy, lightness and colour to the you. They also have multi-faceted eyes that allow them to see all around them, in any direction, all the time. Delicacy, lightness and ability to see all around you is what you need, not brute force.
This is the second time the card has come out this month. Are you dealing with the same problem,, or a new one?
If it is the same issue, pay attention to the power animal that presents itself in your intuition. You may have tried to use a power animal's attributes that are wrong to arrive at the solution to need.
It may also mean that the problem you were dealing with at the benign fo the month was not resolved or has moved into a new form and you need to address a different aspect of the problem now.

Sacred Site
Sacred sites are places Shaman worship at, people may go to a sacred site to venerate the spirits that reside there and ask for assistance.
Sacred Sites are places of peace and tranquility, refreshing places away from the bustle and energy fo daily life. They are places you can sink into and refresh your spirit. Think of a place where you have peace and quiet. Maybe somewhere in nature or connected to nature.
This is a time to use the energy of that quiet place, to restore yourself and think about aspects fo your existence that have been lost. Think about what you have lost, perhaps, joy in playing a game, running, reading, studying. Even sitting or laying in the sun and blowing its energy to radiate into your body... maybe something you have lost or forgotten.
Connect purposefully with your life and your internal spiritual energy and allow in what will make you greater, stronger, better. This is a time to gather strength and energy for the changes in you that are necessary for the next part of your life.
There will be changes, relationships, work, location, and much more and all require a spiritual gathering in of the energy to meet these events.

South
The penguins of Antarctica, grow and thrive in that impossibly inhospitable world. Faced with enormous challenges, they have adapted and create families, the next generation of their species, in that terrible place. They see abundance and sunrise in the face of those challenges.
Abundance is coming to you. It may be in many different ways. Money, a new house, a new car, a job or a relationship. Perhaps even the returning of a past relationship that seemed forgotten but now offers new life and possibilities.
If it is a new relationship from one that is returning to you. You must decide on whether you will accept what is offered to start over again. Remember, abundance is not always about receiving. Sometimes you have to decline what appears to be a great opportunity because it is not right for you.
Remember the saying…”as one door closes another opens?” We when we hear those words, we think of what is leaving and a closing door. We rarely think that for the new door to open and bring us something much more beautiful and encouraging, something else must leave.
The South card has come twice this month to reinforce the message of abundance coming your way. One reason the card comes twice is to remind to be wary of people who promise the world and say they want to help you now that you are abundant but their motive is to take it from you.

Shape Shifter
Do you have a troubling situation in your life? Looking at it from a different angle may help you gain, well, perspective - the second message in the card.
A shaman when they journey will meet and receive help and advice form many different power animals. They will assume aspects of the power animal that brings the best solution to a problem brought to them by a person who needs help.
The traditional power animals are lion or another large cat such as a Tiger, for strength. A leopard or chetah for speed. A monkey for intelligence and agility. A bear for power and wisdom.
Concentrate on the power animal that seems best suited for the problem you want to find a solution to. You intuition will guide you to the animal that best suits your needs. Do not ignore an animal that seems out of place what you "think" you need.
For example, you may think that strength is the way to solve the problem and image in your mind a lion. But you intuition is giving you a butterfly. The delicate and beautiful butterfly may see so wrong for the problem you have to solve. But the butterfly brings delicacy, lightness and colour to the you. They also have multi-faceted eyes that allow them to see all around them, in any direction, all the time. Delicacy, lightness and ability to see all around you is what you need, not brute force.

Medicine Mask
This is a time for self-love, you have a lotto be proud of and have endured a lot through your life.
The mask has fallen, your true authentic self is revealed to you and the world of people you know, and love. You love yourself for the confidence you have in your ability to endure and become positive in the face of adversity.
You have worn the mask in order to fit in with those around you. You have been pretending to want to fit and struggled to do so when those around you have demanded something from you that is not your natural being.
The shaman may wear a mask that is the face of a spirit or soul they want to communicate with. They do so to gain information they can use to complete a healing task.
You can use the same strategy. Create a mask that embraces the parts of you that have remained hidden for so long. Doing so will imbue energy and protection in to the mask. Wear the mask to gain strength from it and those parts of you that have remained hidden for long. Draw on it and be authentic in all that you do.

Dream Weaver
Dreams can be reality. Pay attention to them when you wake up. Make notes of you want to.
Are the dreams of the past, or, the future? When the dreams represent the past or the future, how far into the past, or the future do they go?
In the dream world, the Shaman knows that time is both limitless and the same all at the same time. The past, present, and future are all present at the same moment.
The Dreamweaver card will help you understand what is happening, it will allow you to interpret the meaning of the past you are being shown and how the future relates to you in the here and now.
Use what the Dreamweaver gives you together with your intuition, to understand and interact with the people and events that face you. If you face a difficult personal relationship, use the Dreamweaver to help you understand what in your dreams is relevant to your challenge.

Upperworld
The Upperworld is the dwelling place of sentient spirits and souls that are beings of love and light. They are all knowing and giving. It is to the Upperworld that a shaman journeys as part of their search for knowledge and understanding when they are tasked to with a healing request.
The spiritual vibration of the Upperworld is higher than the plane of existence we inhabit physically and much higher than that of the Lower World and especially that of the Underworld.
This is all about your potential. Can you open up and receive from the Upperworld and show your true potential? Your potential is to bring benefits and spiritual help to others around you, including pets and animals. You may think it means being a suitable partner, parent, friend, child, or helping and caring for an animal that is challenged in some way.
The blessing sent to you from the Upperworld may be small, not large. Pay attention to it and allow yourself to benefit from it and give back by doing what you are guided to provide to those around you.

Medicine Bag
We all have memories, and physical things, trinkets, keep sakes, and possessions that are important to us. We may have things that have been passed down to us by older relatives who are no longer with us.
All of these emotionally charged and sentimental things make up our Medicine Bag.
You are asked to look through them now and decide if you will carry them forward. You are also asked to consider whether there are some new things to add to this sacred collection.
Perhaps you need to associate ephemeral memories with something physical that is in or added to the bag. A happy time spent on holiday by the sea may be associated with a seashell or a swim mask, or a jar of sand you collected.
Storing this Medicine Bag in the home, under your bed, a closet or a draw will keep it close and allow you to draw on the energy it contains.
In this life we meet many emotional challenges with people and animals. A Medicine Bag is something we can return to repeatedly to collect energy and strength to navigate through our present challenges.
Medicine bag has been sent to you for the second time this month to encourage you to take action. You need to create and update your Medicine Bag now. Because you may face emotional and sentimental challenges soon and you will need strength from the medicine bag!
Medicine Mask - Authenticity
The mask asks you to face up to who you are. No more hiding behind conformity, groups and teams. No more hiding behind the rules and processes of your work. Now is the time to drop the mask and reveal who you authentically are.
Conformity, groups and teams are all about your desire to fit in, be one guy, or gals. To gain glory and stature by being in a team or group that confers success and togetherness without allowing individuality and creativity.
Shaman often wear a mask associated with the qualities of the spirit they are invoking. But this is a for a purpose, a healing session. You have been wearing a mask to hide behind, or at the very least not allow your true authentic self to be seen by the world. If you make your own medicine mask, make sure it is in tune with your own qualities and values.
Make sure the values and qualities are clearly seen. This is not the time to be a crowd pleaser or follower. Let the mask be powerful and show your pride, sincerity, and involve yourself in a loving relationship. Be genuine and credible.

We all have memories, and physical things, trinkets, keep sakes, and possessions that are important to us. We may have things that have been passed down to us by older relatives who are no longer with us.

You are asked to look through them now and decide if you will carry them forward. You are also asked to consider whether there are some new things to add to this sacred collection.

In this life, we meet many emotional challenges with people and animals. A Medicine Bag is something we can return to repeatedly to collect energy and strength to navigate through our present challenges.
Tree People - Sustenance
Trees sustain life. They support and keep and protect animals, insects, and when they breathe out, we breathe in.
Spend time with nature now. Go out and walk amongst all the plants but especially the trees. Listen to the wind moving through their branches, listen to the animals down on the ground gathering the bounty of the trees. To them, nuts from the trees are fruit and life they can eat and store.
It may be snowing in the northern climates or hot in the southern but trees are growing and breathing. Life is going on all around you when you are out in nature.
Let the life and energy of the trees open and charge the energy that is within you to live life and be good to those around you and who care about you… care about them.

Staff - Foundations
The shamans’ staff is very important to him or her.
It is Foundational to a Shaman.
It embodies a spirit that helps and guides them as they practice healing and guiding the soul of one who has passed over. The spirit of the shaman’s staff also protects and nurtures them.
The staff sent to you on this card is not so powerful. You are not a shaman and do not need that power. But you need support.
Things may be difficult now, the staff is there for you to lean on and steady yourself as you look at what is around you and assess where you are, where you have been and what it is you want to achieve, or the places you want to go and who you need to meet.
The staff may also turn you around and take you back to the start, to the beginning of your particular journey. Maybe the new job is not the best thing for you right now. A relationship that is proving difficult may need simplicity, not more complexity and depth.
Is it time to start over with a new foundation that staff will help you achieve? Is it time to go in a new direction? If so, staff will take you there and show you the solid rock from which you can start your journey.
Tree of Life - Conception
Growth. Nothing can grow if it is not nourished. An idea I just an idea unless you give it some foundation in reality. If you need to build or make something to give your idea meaning, this is the time to do it.
If it is a person or animal, you are considering. Things that stimulate their mind, their personality and their activity are important to help them grow and be more than they were the day, week, or month before.
Tree of Life is Conception. If you are thinking of bringing a child into this world, remember. It is a divine being, and conceiving brings intense responsibility.
Just as we have responsibility for the growth and development of an idea, a child or a pet, so are we responsible for the changes those things will bring in us. Learning how to teach a child a skill also changes us as we learn the skill and how to teach it.
When you look at an idea that has not come to fruition, so are we looking at a tree that is no longer growing, or has not foliage or bad and withering roots.
Take responsibility for the growth and development of your own personal tree of life. Be accountable now for your own growth and development. Be ready to accept the challenges and the joy the Tree of Life brings you.

Upper World
Shamans visit the upper world to speak to angels, divine spirits, helping spirits, and all that is luminous, empowering, and wonderful. They go there to seek the highest answers to their challenges, and of those, they are seeking to heal.
The Upper World is a place of destiny and growth, advancement and achievement. It is a place of discovery and potential. When the Shaman returns from the upper world, they bring healing and a future full of possibilities.
If the Trust card from last week encouraged you to trust yourself, the Upper World is sending you messages of encouragement to leap into the future. Your future. As you learned to trust in yourself and shrug off self-doubt, now you must rid yourself of sluggishness and apathy. While support for a new destiny is not yet in place, a new destination is available to you if you act now.
Journey - Imagination
A new opportunity has opened up for you. A new doorway, a portal, into the next stage of your life.
The opportunity can provide excitement, wonderment and happiness. It is time to stride through the doorway, grasp the opportunity, accept it, and put your hand over your heart and say thank you to who you are and what has come to you.
Make the opportunity grow, develop, and succeed. It will help you grow and develop at the same time.
If someone has been telling you to ignore your ideas, your opportunities, know now that these people do not have your best interest at heart and should not be part of your life as you explore your new opportunity.
The opportunity has come to you from spirit, from the universe. You have what you need to succeed. Let no one or thing hold you back now. Move forward and upward.
Lodge - Counsel
Look behind you at your steps. How many times have your steps been matched by another who has walked beside you and helped you, given you counsel, advice and given you strength?
Lodge appears now asking you to be open to and accept the counsel of others. In the Lodge, you may ask as many or few for advice and guidance. Each will have a different perspective, a different strength, a different way of encouraging you to focus on your challenges and the solutions available.
Different perspectives will give you the distinction of having more than one solution at your hands.
Be genuine in asking for help, advice, suggestions, ideas, and you will be met with a genuine response. If the response is not genuine, or the advice is bad. You will see it because it shows so poorly when compared to the other advice you are receiving.
Therefore, you should ask for more than a person to give you many ideas and solutions to choose from.
When you ask for advice, help, and counsel, it is a sign of openness and strength. Not weakness. Be wary of advice that tells you not ask for anyone else’s help, ridicules you or shames you. The giver of that advice is closing your mind and spirit to all that you could benefit from others and the wider world around you.

Earth
The Earth is one of the five elements of Tibetan shamanism.
Earth nurtures and feeds the plants and trees with nutrients and a stable and encouraging place for them to grow.
Now is the time to look at your own dreams and goals, plans and thoughts. Look at what you have planted in terms of your desires and dreams yesterday, last week, last month, last year. How are they growing? How can you nurture them?
This is the time to look at your dreams and goals and plant new ones, new ideas, and start what is needed to make them grow, and, like a good gardener work at supporting and helping dreams and goals that have been in the earth for a while. Perhaps some of them need more nutrients to help them grow and blossom, and some will need to be taken away as they have not grown.
But also, like a talented gardener, allow and encourage the ideas that welcome and encourage the ideas that are unexpected, unusual and new. They have just as much a need for nutrients and tending as the ones you planted yourself.
Staff
The shamans’ staff is very important to him or her. It embodies a spirit that helps and guides them as they practice healing and guiding the soul of one who has passed over. The spirit, of the shaman’s staff also protects and nurtures them.
The staff sent to you on this card is not so powerful. You are not a shaman and do not need that power. But you need support.

Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver exposes your mind to the possibilities of the future and what you learned in the past. It is both the dreams we have during the night when we are in bed. It is also your waking dreams, your ambitions, your hopes and desires.
The waking dreams and our nightly dreams are connected. They are one. The dreams you have in the evening can be about lessons learned from the past and what their meaning is for your waking dreams.
A dream about a new home can give you insights to think about for the waking world when you think about a new home. When you see your new home, will it be what you saw in the dream? It might be, but it may also be an improvement on what you dreamt.
Be open to how the dream world and the waking dream world connect.
Medicine Mask
The mask asks you to face up to who you are. No more hiding behind conformity, groups and teams. No more hiding behind the rules and processes of your work. Now is the time to drop the mask and reveal who you authentically are.
Conformity, groups and teams are all about your desire to fit in, be one guy, or gals. To gain glory and stature by being in a team or group that confers success and togetherness without allowing individuality and creativity.
Shaman often wear a mask associated with the qualities of the spirit they are invoking. But this is a for a purpose, a healing session. You have been wearing a mask to hide behind, or at the very least not allow your true authentic self to be seen by the world. If you make your own medicine mask, make sure it is in tune with your own qualities and values.
Make sure the values and qualities are clearly seen. This is not the time to be a crowd pleaser or follower. Let the mask be powerful and show your pride, sincerity, and involve yourself in a loving relationship. Be genuine and credible.

Flute
The Shamanic flute is freedom. It is not played using a musical score, a set of rules to follow. You are not playing your flute in combination with others. You are not part of an orchestra, unless, of course, you choose to be so.
You have your own tune, your own music to play, but you have been finding that hard to play recently. Perhaps you are trying to follow a music score, but the score calls for you to do something different from what your soul desires, expects and wants... needs to play.
Now is time to switch off from your busy, logical mind that wants to control and manipulate. Get back to what your soul wishes, what speaks to you.
The pandemic has been difficult for all of us. It may have upended your world and given you the chance to learn to play your flute. Instead of being stifled, you can fully express yourself now. Your passion, for your passions, emerges now. Flute urges you to play it and be free of the constraints that have blocked your life and you from your life until now
Bones for Casting
The ritual casting of crystals, stones, beans, sticks, or bones has been a long, long tradition of shaman to help tell the future or describe the options of the present. Help explain the challenges, twists and changes in our human lives
Called divination in our world, this card comes to you now to ask you to slow down, disengage the logical mind and be open to the messages being sent to you and all around you.
Being open to the messages sent to you by the natural world around you is important for your next steps and the direction you will follow soon. Try and find a natural, open space away from the busy logical world, and take a walk. It could be a park, somewhere you can disengage. Even if it is cold in your part of the world as winter sets in, bundle up and smell the cool crisp air.
Ask the natural world to help you as you divine your present state. You need to understand what is in your life that can be a foundation for the additional steps you will take, the new journey. Let your senses and feeling of wonder about your life come alive.

Birds
Birds fly freely in the air. Air or space is one of the five elements in Tibetan Shamanism. It is important because it is all around us and in us. We breathe it, we travel through it. Air contains the oxygen we need to breathe to live.
Birds sing as they fly and use the air in their lungs to make the sounds we hear and appreciate through the air.
Birds come to you now to urge you to spread your wings like the birds that fly. To spread your wings and explore unknown places, people, things, culture, language and meaning.
This may mean moving jobs, or just changing furniture in your home, your car, your hobbies. It also means to refresh friendships and relationships. You can refresh a relationship through words and deeds.
It is now time to plan and think about how you want to soar more freely than you have done so before.

West - Purge
We had this card earlier in the month. We are still harbouring problems that are not aired, are problems no one knows anything about. Bottling up your problems inside of you takes away your valuable soul energy. It drains you of that which you need to move forward.
Work you no longer enjoy or which drains you by the end of the day. A relationship that is no supporting and helping you but instead asking you to be like a bandage for another is not worthy of you. You can approach your colleagues about your work effort and the way it drains you.
Switch to something that is up lifting and enjoyable.
If lifting and enjoyable work is not available to you. Move on to a new work place, a new team that is and will support you.
If it is a relationship. Now is the time to end it and leave for peace and quiet. Sit and meditate on what it is you want I a partner and then start to seek them out.
In all of this, you are being true to yourself. No one will critics you for that, be assured of it.
Cave - Retreat
Caves were homes to the first peoples and their Shamans. They offered protection and were ready built. Above all they were safe, mostly warm and dry.
Cave is here to remind you to slow down. Do not wear yourself out. Let the egoic mind chatter slow and ebb away. Above all, stop worrying about others, inserted care about yourself. As they say, “now is the time to smell the roses.”
Use the Cave as a sanctuary to meditate and be at peace for a while. You need it. In this pandemic riddled world, we all need it.
A period or meditation, peace and quiet will allow you to rebalance yourself, see the future with your inner eye and map its direction. You will be able to live more effectively in the NOW.

Four Legged – Endurance
Life is not a battle, even if it sometimes seems to be just that. It does however require endurance. Once started, a novel that you have always wanted to write will require endurance to finish. A course of higher learning that you were never able to complete in your younger years can be completed now but requires effort, and endurance to do so.
We all have animal guides, they, like our other guides have been with us since birth and now offer their energy, strength, and endurance to complete what it is you are striving to achieve.
The energy of the animal guides is here to supplement our own as well as give us new energy and strength.
Animal guides and spirits, the energy they give us, the strength which becomes endurance are a much part of them as we think of use. Recognise them and welcome them into our lives. It can be as simple as taking a walk-in nature to give our four-legged friend[s] exercise, but in turn we get exercise, we get to see, smell and feel nature which adds to our own energy.
Insects - Support
We all get discouraged at times. We feel let down, unsupported and adrift without help or support. Maybe the ending of a relationship, or a job. Perhaps a death. We feel as if relatives and co-workers are unfeeling and ignoring us in our moment of need.
Perhaps we have been in the same situation before and have developed a hard skin, one we feel shrugs of the problems and emotional hurt. Don’t let that tough outer skin become the face you show to the world.
Insects are tenacious, patient and detached from the problems around them. No matter what happens, the continue on to bring food to the nest, find somewhere to mate and lay eggs, and then they do it all over again.
Now is your time to be life the insect, tenacious, patient and detached, this will help you move forward as well as without building that self-destructive hard outer shell.

Medicine Mask - Authenticity
The mask asks you to face up to who you are. No more hiding behind conformity, groups and teams. No more hiding behind the rules and processes of your work. Now is the time to drop the mask and reveal who you authentically are.
Conformity, groups and teams are all about your desire to fit in, be one of the guys, or gals. To gain glory and stature by being in a team or group that confers success and togetherness without allowing individuality and creativity.
Shaman often wear a mask associated with the qualities of the spirit they which to invoke. But this is a for a purpose, a healing session. You have been wearing a mask to hide behind, or at the very least not allow your true authentic self to be seen by the world. If you make your own medicine mask, make sure it is in tune with your own qualities and values.
Make sure the values and qualities are clearly seen. This is not the time to be a crowd pleaser, or follower. Let the mask be powerful and demonstrate your pride, sincerity and involve yourself in a loving relationship. Be genuine and credible.
West - Purge
Problems that are not aired, are problems no one knows anything about. Bottling up your problems inside of you takes away your valuable soul energy. It drains you of that which you need to move forward.
Work you no longer enjoy or which drains you by the end of the day. A relationship that is no supporting and helping you but instead asking you to be like a bandage for another is not worthy of you. You can approach your colleagues about your work effort and the way it drains you.
Switch to something that is up lifting and enjoyable.
If lifting and enjoyable work is not available to you. Move on to a new work place, a new team that is and will support you.
If it is a relationship. Now is the time to end it and leave for peace and quiet. Sit and meditate on what it is you want I a partner and then start to seek them out.
In all of this, you are being true to yourself. No one will critics you for that, be assured of it.

Birds – Freedom
Look up in the sky and see birds flying back and forth, some scouring the gourd for prey, some moving from the northern climates as they get colder for winter. As they fly, they give bird song to her birds and to us.
To watch the birds flying you need to have sharp eyes and hearing to experience them at their most free and energetic. As they fly, feathers will fall from their wings and their bodies. Those feathers are a message to open windows and let in fresh air and fresh ideas.
The pandemic has been hard on all of us, we have been inside for a long time, for almost two years our movements have been restricted because of the fear of contracting the contagion.
With the windows open and fresh air and fresh ideas coming in to your soul, now is the time to start working on them and manifesting team. This is a time of opportunity and change, advancement and also of taking new directions.
Above all, if you are seeking to change your work, now is the time for your new ideas to be heard. Speak up! Break the chains that have held you back. Chains maybe not just the work you do but also how you work. Opportunities are all around you, but the past 2 years may have made you insensitive and careless when considering change.
You have the freedom to make changes and enjoy the results of it.
Conch Shell - Calling
This is a wakeup call!
Conch Shells are used in many parts of the world by Shamans as trumpets. Trumpets are messengers. Sometimes they are used to announce natural disasters or changes in the environment. The Conch shell comes to you now to remove from your world all that is old and no longer serves. In tarot terms, this is a Tower Moment announced by the Conch.
Like a breath of fresh air that sweeps away cobwebs in your mind, Conch Shells clear away objections and resistance from your egoic, logical mind.
Behind the noise of the Conch shell is the silence of manifestation. Now is the time to make the effort to find your intuition and the sensitivity it brings to your environment and the way you live.
Now is the time to change, work a new job, take a course, end a relationship that no longer serves you, or has no meaning.
Wake up and act!

Wind
Wind is air. Air is one of the Five Elements important to a Shaman and Shamanic Tradition. It is a unique element. It is all around us yet we cannot see it, touch it and is the medium that keeps us alive and allows us to speak, sing, laugh, communicate and spread our ideas and wisdom. It allows us to experience and to be heard.
Just as we can be heard through the air, so are things brought to us by it. Bird song, the whispers of a partner or a pet and music. But air, the wind, also brings the opposite, anger, distrust, and violence.
The wind may blow gently as a whisper or like a tornado. You can stand with your back to it and try to resist it or turn and face and feel the message that wind is sending you.
The wind always means change. Nature, the wind, blows down branches and trees that are dead or weak. It may even blow down homes and buildings that are unsound. It is your challenge this week to understand what the wind is blowing down. Why it is blowing the way it is, and what is dead or weak in your life.
Depending on how you are attached to what is leaving your life, your existence, the wind may blow gently, encouraging you, or like a storm and sweeping away things violently. The more you hold in to what needs to leave, the stronger the wind will blow and the greater the force it will apply.
Do not hold on to what you do not need, what no longer serves you. Be prepared for the calm and clarity of fresh air after a storm. Good things are coming.
The Vision Quest
A vision quest is a way to come to terms with yourself and where you are spiritually. It is a journey through our feelings, our hopes and desires, what we want to manifest and our feelings about potential, opportunities and the sacrifices we are prepared to make.
A shaman will undertake a vision quest to speak to souls and spirits to gain knowledge and perspective, good and bad, and what is useful and what is not. They will do this for their own benefit but also for the benefit of people they are asked to help. By undertaking vision quests, the shaman will understand how to unlock new possibilities and close the door to ones that should end to allow the person to move on.
If you do not have a shaman, you can look into your hopes and desires and the fears and anxieties to see the direction in which you should be going. The Vision Quest is asking you to undertaking this personal vision quest when you feel stagnant, not progressing, or it is too hard to progress. If you are finding it difficult, perhaps you should not be going in that direction?
The Vision Quest asks you to find some quiet time and get out of the house, join in the life force of nature. A house and a car keep you away from growing things. This quiet time will help you understand and tune in to what it is you need to be doing, not what you are doing. When you are outside, perhaps just in your backyard or garden, still busy mind, stop thinking tirelessly and consuming your essential energy. You will need all the energy you have for the new opportunities and the changes The Vision Quest will open up to you.
The Sweat Lodge
Think of the Sweat Lodge and think of a modern sauna. They have many things in common. In a small space, volcanic rocks from deep in Mother Gia are heated until they are red hot and then life-giving water is sprinkled over them to make steam and humidity. In the sauna we are often, but not always, naked. Being naked, we can hide nothing and be who we truly are. We sit in dim light, not darkness. In a native Indian Sweat Lodge, you would be in darkness.
It is a personal moment in a personal space. Our insides, through sweat, become our outsides and can be shed. It is a time for old habits and beliefs to go, drip from us in the sweat that comes from the pores in our skin, the largest living organ we and all animals have.
Now is the time for a new start, a second chance, a moment of peace before change. Now is the time to be ready to adopt new habits, beliefs and thoughts and prepare to move beyond what we have been before we walked through the door of the Sauna or Sweat Lodge.
Observe the ritual of the sauna. Use more water to create more steam from the hot rocks. Be patient as the heat and steam draw out the physical toxins and the spiritual. Recognize them for what they are. But spend little time on them.
The Sweat Lodge, the Sauna, is a place of new beginnings, new opportunities if you truly and freely shed the things that are not working for you. As you release, think of the hot steamy space you are in as being somewhere where the new opportunities can take root and grow.

The Serpent
Two serpents entwine on the Caduceus, the symbol used by doctors for health and knowledge. The serpent is a powerful symbol of both.
Perhaps it is time for you to work on both. Give up bad habits such as smoking, which damages your body. Learn something new that will bring new abundance into your life. If you about what to study or not know what to bring into your life, the serpent is there to guide you
Follow the Serpent's guidance and you will be abundant and happy. Even if what you receive is a message to rest, do so. Perhaps you are receiving this message because you are trying too hard. You are not “going with the flow.”
Soul Retrieval
Soul Retrieval is a fundamental role of the Shaman in a community and or tribe. Illness and sickness can often bet traced to a piece of the soul being missing, either stolen and scared away by events and occurrences.
During a Soul Retrieval ceremony, a shaman will journey into the spirit world to retrieve the missing soul fragment and bring it back and integrate it back into the person who is sick and heal them. If the soul fragment as stolen or taken away by an evil sprit, a struggle will ensue. The strength and wisdom of the shaman and his or her helping spirits will bring success, but sometimes failure if the spirit that took the soul fragment is too strong.
Look at your life and people and things that have hurt you. You may still hurt from an emotional wound that was inflicted some time ago and which you cannot let go of. Now is the time to move and give up dwelling on that loss, that hurt, that pain. Do battle with the feelings that still exist within you and defeat them. You cannot… you must not continue feeling hurt when those who hurt you have moved on with no regard for how you were left.
The Medicine Wheel
The four cardinal directions of North, South, West and East are clearly marked on the card. They are cardinal signs for the Shaman as well. Native peoples have known for untold millennia the roundness of the hoop shown in the card.
The hoop turns and brings healing and growth with it. To a person, an animal, or a community, healing and harmony appear as it moves. You may say it is The World card in Tarot. So the wheel turns and brings happiness and abundance, leaving behind unhappiness and lack of material and spiritual things.
The four cardinal directions of North, South, West and East are clearly marked on the card. They are cardinal signs for the Shaman as well.
The South represents the past, not just the past that has gone, but clinging unhealthily to the past.
The West is all about relationships and people that drain you and are toxic to you.
The North is about what is in your heart. Are you passionate about something and do you show it, do you pursue it, do you manifest it in your life, your being?
Finally, the East, this is about being aware and seeing your life the life like chapters in a book. Are you ready to turn the page and start a new chapter?
You can stay in any one part of the compass for as long as you want, days, months, years even. Delay too long in any one party of the compass and you will affect how your life manifests, how quickly, and the quality of life you create in the eastern direction.

The Ancient Ones
The Ancient Ones are shamans who have long since passed over but now live in the spirit world. They are wise and practised in their art of speaking to us through our intuition. For those who are more adept at communicating more directly, they can speak to us and provide energy that pushes us forward, or makes us turn away, or stops us from making errors.
This card shows up to make us pay attention to what is NOW or will be soon. Embrace change and work hard at the challenges thrown in your path. Use your intuition and spiritual strength to move past what is blocking you. Know that the messages, thoughts, and feelings sent to you now are from the Ancient Ones. Know that you have strength to overcome your physical and emotional challenges.
The Rainmaker
Manifestation. When you look at a parched field of wilting crops, you instinctively know that rain to restore balance in life that struggles to continue. The Rainmaker is here to help you in your seemingly endless, parched spiritual journey. If you have been wronged and are having trouble recovering from the hurt and malaise that has brought in your life. Resolve to let your feelings bring rain and comfort and growth to now.
You already have what you need to grow and become strong again and let what needs to die forever. You have it within yourself to pick yourself up, and move on, and grow and thrive.
The Sacrifice
In the past, a sacrifice involved ritual. Ritual that culminated in sacrifice. What was sacrificed has changed over time and in different cultures. From animals and sometimes humans, to simple representations of them made from flour and butter, to bread and wine in the eucharist, sacrifice is all around us.
Life is generous. The beauty of flowers in a flower shop by the bus stop to the humour you hear or give to another. Take the simple and the complex beauty that is all around you and find time to care for those who have less beauty in their lives than you do.
The message from this card this week is that you need to stop sacrificing your own values and beings for others. Now is your time to be the beauty that others appreciate. Take time for yourself and dedicate yourself to your own path and your own future. Make yourself and your dreams sacred. By stopping sacrificing yourself, let your spirit open doors to abundance.

The Crow
The crow is a watcher of the world. It sits in a tree, on a wall, rarely on a wire strung in the air by mankind to carry his electricity or words.
The Crow requires we speak and practice truth in all things. When you find untruth, correct it. The crow requires we seek the truth and when we are in all things truthful, what we want becomes true, and comes into existence.
This may mean correcting what is wrong in your life. Do not judge yourself. Truth is everything, and it is your way forward from now. Do not dwell on whether you should act truthfully in a situation, just be truthful and do not let your busy mind or ego persuade you otherwise.
In situations where you are stressed, such as at work, be truthful, speak your mind and articulate it clearly. If you find you have trouble speaking up and speaking clearly, your Throat Chakra may be blocked. This would be a good time to have the Chakra, and all the other chakras cleared so that people may hear you clearly.
The Earthkeeper
You create your own world. You populate it with people, places, things, events. You also populate it with happiness, sadness, misery, and a sunny disposition.
In creating your world, you impact the world that Mother Gaia has gifted us with. Wood furniture is made from trees that grew tall and were harvested by man. Make sure the furniture you buy is made from trees that will be replanted. While you have a dream of a friendly house and nice things, dream also about the hope and cleanliness of the world.
In life we dream of things we can and want to achieve in the limited time we have for life. Now is the time to dream bigger than the dreams that have brought us to this moment, and while you do that, make sure that you help your family and friends with their dreams.
Help feed them as you would your animals and your garden. Feed the stray animals that come by looking for help. Animals have an intrinsic knowledge of humans they can trust. Be one of those that help them.
The Spiral
The spiral is an ancient symbol of growth and evolution. Seen in the snake that lies coiled and sleeping, it is also seen in the heavens, and in plants. Spend some time thinking and meditating on your life and the things and people in your life. Trace the spiral in your life and if you are attuned to Reiki, say the name of the Power Symbol, Cho ku Rei three times to give your thoughts energy.
We all struggle with things in life. It may be personal or it may be at work. The Spiral is a message of newness and growth. Allow Cho ku Rei to give you energy to change and develop as the spiral takes us away from the core of our old selves. Know that change in ourselves is difficult and when we get to a new place in our life. It's hard to understand and be comfortable when we get there.
There are many ways to draw a spiral, Cho ku Rei, for all its energy and growth is a spiral at its heart. Pull up a picture of the symbol and study the spiral. There is a left facing symbol and a right facing version. One is feminine and one is masculine. Consider the spiral at the core of Cho ku Rei and know that both masculine and feminine energy are needed to move forward. Choose the one that speaks to you the most.

The Beloved
This is an invitation to love. To learn about love. To be free to love and experience the return of your love from another. Sometimes, the object of our passion may not be a person; it could be a pet, it could even be a garden that never seems to stop giving back to you in beautiful blooms, fragrances, growth, and abundance.
If you are learning to love a person, do not confuse what you think is love with their personality. Personality is the totality of a person’s qualities, how they appear to others; it is their organized pattern of behavioural characteristics.
If you focus your ability to love on their personality, you will be disappointed because those attributes are not their ability to give and receive love. It was once said to me by a Finnish person that Finnish people often do not express their love as freely and often as other cultures. Instead, they demonstrate their love by doing something for you. Action speaks louder than words in their culture.
As you open yourself up to give love, you must be prepared to look at actions and deeds rather than words.
Pachamama
Pachamama is Mother Earth, Gaia. She loves everything on earth, all that is growing, plants, flowers, trees, grasses, stones, rocks and the water that flows over the world. Pachamama loves all of humanity, in all its diversity and all of its ages.
All that is living on this earth gives the animals and us the ability for our souls to experience a temporary, impermanent, and imperfect physical existence. Regardless of its imperfections, perfection can be an imperfection in itself. Be grateful for it. Every morning and every evening, spend a few minutes to express your gratitude for who you are and what you are.
A shaman connects with the spirits of the trees, flowers, stones, water and air as they seek information to heal someone, a tribe, or a community.
This week, eat carefully and balance your meals and what goes into them. As they say, a little of everything is good; too much of one thing is not. Be nourished by what you eat is the message. Take some time to be happy and light-hearted; take pleasure in art or movies or music as this is an expression of your appreciation for the life you have. Be nourished by what you experience.
Show how much you enjoy the earth and all living things by letting Pachamama witness you do something such as planting something, caring for plants and animals that might not otherwise have been cared for.
The Gatherer
The Gatherer speaks to a time before we grew grains in fields and harvested them according to the seasons. The gatherer found seeds, berries and fruit in places that others might see a barren and desolate. The gatherer can provide when others cannot.
Now is time to take stock of your life. Look at what you wish for and what you do not. What you have around you is abundance if you choose to recognise it for what it is.
Seeing scarcity when there is abundance drags you down. Whatever your situation, use your skills and abilities to bring new things into your life, those things will bring bounty and riches.

The Mystical Shaman
The Shaman was many things to their community. Healer, story teller, leader, keeper of traditions and the person to whom the community could look to for support when times were bad and to celebrate when they were good.
He, or she, were intermediaries between the community and the spirit world which was all around them and in everything they could touch, smell, hear, and see.
When the Shaman journeyed into altered states of consciousness to perform a divination or a healing, they were able to dream a dream that no other could. The Shaman reminds us to be in the world, in the NOW and to travel through it and yet not be defined by what we see and experience. This is the symbol of true alchemy, for all elements of life have a spiritual aspect and a material one. When we remember this, all manner of miracles and manifestations are possible.
Be careful what you pray for.
The Mystical Shaman cautions you against relentless attachment to a certain form that you think will make you happy, prosperous, famous, loved, etc. These material forms are attractive, like stars in the night sky, they attract us like a lure attracts a fish. Do not be the fish caught on the fishermen hook and taken to shore and killed.
Is it time to imagine a new story, one that is deeper and less superficial, one that is in line with what you have become? Better tales are waiting to be told.
The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer symbolizes beliefs and ideas of division, struggle and being without. We feel the sorcerer casts a dark shadow over our lives, but in reality, the shadows are our own. Those shadows are feelings of separation from loved one, colleagues, pets. Feelings of conflict and aggression to others in order to achieve our self-centred goals.
Our shadows may be narrow, broad, or generous in their focus. Either way, our busy mind loves to feed off the shadow energy and its negative feelings. The sorcerer is asking you to look at these energies, examine how destructive they are. What are you feeling? Resentment, vengeance, lust, greed, bigotry, or hatred about or to whom or what. These feelings are unjustified and not your spiritual core, which is pushed away without consideration.
The Sorcerer challenges you, confronts your dark thinking and beliefs. Now! Is a second chance! Start over. Be strong and be vigilant about the darkness you are being asked to recognise, and then to discard.
Others are not to blame for what is inside of you, what you allow to be there. Take a moment to create a sense of peace and move in another direction, and do not allow those negative thoughts and feelings to grow again. You are done with that way of living.
The Giveaway
The Giveaway is something we offer to life without attachment, without expecting anything back. When someone drops something and you pick it up for them, you are giving back not just to them but to life. To encourage someone to achieve more with their skills and abilities is to giveaway the energy you have in that moment.
Look at your life, your feelings toward yourself and to others. Make a mental list of people, places and events you are grateful for. Connect with your feelings of gratitude.
Be aware of gratitude you send out to the universe; be thankful for the things you have and have had in the past. Be grateful for the future and let it inspire you even if there is no apparent reason to be so yet! As you consider your gratitude your heart will open and, in that moment, you start realizing how much life has given you. Feelings of scarcity and deprivation start to fade away as you realize life is full of abundance for you. The Giveaway card helps you be in the NOW, the moment of your appreciation and to be in the flow of life, as you now give freely and receive freely.

Water
Water is a powerful element to a Shaman. It symbolizes purification, regeneration, birth, revival, and cleansing. Water can have enormous power, carving away earth and rock, moving boulders and trees as it creates a valley, or submerges them as it creates lakes and oceans. If human kind is in the way of its creative force, it can be destructive and end lives of people and animals.
It can be sleepy and lazy as it meanders in shallow rivers across the landscape. Water that is scolding hot but is not bubbling and boiling looks the same as water just before it freezes into ice.
Water can also be something we cannot grasp. When it steams, it is as ephemeral as breath. It can be hard and unyielding as ice.
Humans are 75% water. That includes our brain and our heart. Like the ebb and flow of the tides, allow sorrow and sadness, happiness and wonderment to flow through you now. Not only can these feelings be within you, but allow the world around you to flow over you and through you, knowing that you will remain and will move on to greater things.
This is like a baptism of newness and opportunity. There is a sense of newness, welcome it and embrace it
The Child
When we are young, we know the world is full of magic and new things to enjoy and it is a place for adventures. As we grow older, we lose that childlike wonder and appreciation for what is around us as we struggle and battle to make things happen that we perceive we want.
Recapture your childhood, you child’s sense of wonder.
Do it now!
Look around you without judgement, without a sense of doing, just receive.
Sit in a park, by a lake. Think of friends, family and your partner. Look at them with your child’s sense of wonder and openness. Appreciate the new things you see in them. Are they so strange that you cannot do this? No! Enjoy a return to your childhood and without an adult’s outlook.
Fire
Fire consumes anything that it touches. Flames remind us of destruction and the end of things but they also remind us of new life and things to come. Fire clears away what no longer is needed. In the forest, it creates the space and nutrients for new life, new trees and new undergrowth where animals can thrive.
In this reading we have water. Water can put out fire, fire can evaporate water, but in a relationship, when water and fire are in balance, steam is created that condenses back into water allowing the cycle of energy and passion to continue over and over again.
Fire provides warmth and cooks our food. On a dark night, fire keeps away the unknown and unknowable things that lurk at the edge of its light.
Now is the time to embrace what fire removes. People, places, and things that no longer mean anything to us but remain in our lives because we have not had the time or the strength to remove them.
Fire can be as simple as a candle that we can look at and be close to. If it is a scented candle, buy one that gives off a scent we feel pleasing and encouraging.
How is your temper? Are you frustrated and aggressive, short tempered, with yourself or others? Beware of threatening or hurting others with your fiery nature. It can back fire on you. Hurting others can hurt you.
Do not play with your inner fire when you are out of sorts but above all learn not to use your fire on others when it is your inner self that is unhappy and you are out of balance or angry. Make fire your friend not your enemy, or it will create enemies for you.

Stand Still
When we stand still, we have time to think. Standing still does not mean a lack of progress. It is a time to breathe, to consider where we are and what we have done. This week is a time to take a break and relax. In relaxation we make progress because we give ourselves the gift of time. We pause our ego driven life purposefully and enjoy the benefits of inaction with the world without taking part in it.
Standing still, or inaction is not a sign of being stuck, or stagnating. Being on the go, being a go-go person, striving relentlessly in trying to achieve is tiring and stressful. Our soul and our mind, our being is stressed and need a break from endless achievement and struggle.
Your body, your soul, is not some sort of engine that can run endlessly at full throttle. When you are finally at a standstill, enjoy what you see and hear. There are gifts the universe gives out now have a different tone and a different feel to them. Relax and recharge. Perhaps, to get a different perspective on life and everything.
This is also the time to sit back and, in your standing still, consider whether a project or task is worth the effort. The cycle of always on the go, always striving have stopped you from considering what is not working and take a different direction. Shed the burdens of people and things which you should no longer be carrying.
Holy Mountain
There are many mountains of great presence around the world. They are venerated and loved, worshiped and honoured. These are places where people can encounter the spirit and soul of the mountain, and that which is within themselves.
In Tibet, Mount Kailash is a place of veneration and honour. In Tibetan its name is Gang Rinpoche – Gang meaning snow and Rinpoche meaning precious one. It is considered sacred in Hinduism, Bon, Buddhism, and Jainism.
It is close to the source of the longest Asian rivers. The base of the mountains is 52km long and to circumnavigate the mountain is both physically taxing, partly because of altitude sickness, and the terrain that must be covered. But the achievement brings blessings of achievement, peace and overcoming adversity.
This card brings many messages. It tells you to gain perspective on your life, your achievements and changes within yourself. Look on your present situation not as an achievement in itself, not an end, but a start from which you can move forward. It is here to help you gain a vision of your future. Move onward from where you are as the pilgrim circumnavigating Mount Kailash does, step by step. Find a sacred altar where others who came before you have prayed and found wisdom. With commitment, belief and without a desire to “know the future.” Embrace the courage, love, and compassion your journey will require.
The Blade
The Blade is a cutting tool.
It represents your mind, body, and spirit. Pointing upward, it summons the power of heaven to help you manifest. What is that you wish for? Be clear in your thoughts. It will cut cords attached to you that no longer serve you or are toxic in their effect on you. It is a thing of action. Use it now, use it with best intention and not as a weapon. Use it to heal those old relationships or places by letting them go.
The blade is sent to help you with your dreams which have become stagnant. You are looking down at your feet instead of up and forward where the blade is directing you. The blade frees you from things, people, places, and belongings that do not mean anything to you. Do not use it in anger or bad intention. If you do, the karmic outcome will be worse than you had imagined.
Always use the blade positively to help you move forward.

The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer symbolizes beliefs and ideas of division, struggle and being without. We feel the sorcerer casts a dark shadow over our lives, but in reality, the shadows are our own. Those shadows are feelings of separation from loved one, colleagues, pets. Feelings of conflict and aggression to others in order to achieve our self-centred goals.
Our shadows may be narrow, broad, or generous in their focus. Either way, our busy mind loves to feed off the shadow energy and its negative feelings. The sorcerer is asking you to look at these energies, examine how destructive they are. What are you feeling? Resentment, vengeance, lust, greed, bigotry, or hatred about or to whom or what. These feelings are unjustified and not your spiritual core, which is pushed away without consideration.
The Sorcerer challenges you, confronts your dark thinking and beliefs. Now! Is a second chance! Start over. Be strong and be vigilant about the darkness you are bringing in asked to recognise, and then to discard.
Others are not to blame for what is inside of you, what you allow to be there. Take a moment to create a sense of peace and move in another direction, and do not allow those negative thoughts and feelings to grow again. You are done with that way of living.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, Yggdrasil, is a sacred symbol in Norse mythology. In Buddhism it is the Bo tree or Bodhi tree. In Islam, it is the Tree of Immortality. In Christianity, the Tree of Life first appears in Genesis in The Garden of Eden. In Hebrew, it is Etz Chaim. In the Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism depicts the Tree of life with ten interconnected nodes or ten Sefirot powers in the divine realm.
To the Shaman, the Tree of knowledge connects all the realms of existence, from the higher realm of the Gods to the darkness of the underworld.
The message of the Tree of life is twofold for this week and your life.
To connect with the upper world, you need to be tall, not literally but elevated in thought and action. You need to have aspirational goals that are pure and clear and can be acted on. They should not be manipulative or degrading.
A tree with shallow roots will fall over in a strong wind. Now is the time to ensure you are grounded and understand what it is to be foundational. You cannot reach your goals if you have not prepared. To put it simply, if you aspire to be a doctor, you cannot attain that goal unless you complete all the study and training required to be a doctor, not just a doctor; you want to be a good doctor. So, study hard.
To reach the upper world and be grounded means to be aligned with what you desire and what your Life Path purpose is. Open up to your Life Path Purpose and stop simply "turning the wrenches" on a boring, unfulfilling life. Take time, peaceful time, to think about your energies and what you want in life. That will help you create your life rather than be a directionless traveller through it.
The Council
At the end of our lives, before we are reborn, there is a period known in some schools of Buddhism as the Bardo State. While in the Bardo, our spirit is conscious and experiences the karma of the life that has just ended and all previous lives. It is a time of spiritual learning and also cleansing.
We do not have to die to experience this state of existence. A deep and protracted illness or a spiritual retreat can allow it to exist in us.
The one thing it does, if it occurs in this life, is to make us look at our relationship with living. It shows us they foretold our place in existence before we are born and that trough life we learn and grow and change as we move towards that final spiritual goal.
Are we making life too hard to live by our actions, beliefs, and behaviour? Do we enjoy enough, do we change enough when asked to change? Listen to your inner self, your soul, and look at the writing on the wall and allow yourself to move towards it. The time is now! Start your journey to grow, to love, forgive sincerely, and dare. Take the leap without requiring life to assure you of success.
This card has come for the second time this month. First time was at the beginning, July 5th. The message of the card is repeated because you have not paid attention to the message. The ego, and the egoic mind that churns over and over as it enjoys the wasting energy of what ifs, what could have happened, and why did I not say or do that? Is pulling at you and you need to let go of all those what ifs. The ego revels in negative thoughts, such as; you can’t do that, you are not good enough, that task is too big for you, or will take too long. Pay attention to the message of the card this second time and move on.
Queen of the Moon Oracle – Wanning Crescent – Surrender
The message of surrender is not about giving up. Far from it.
We all change as we grow and experience. Even if we are 60 years old, we are still learning, still experiencing and as a result we are changing. Take a moment to reflect on what no longer we need in ourselves. This takes patience, it requires you to think about what is no longer uniquely “you.”
Surrendering is a positive thought, feeling, or action. I grew up not knowing I had an uncle until my grandmother died and he inherited her house. Until then, my father and sister had not spoken to him for many years because of a major “unknown” dispute, until this inheritance forced them to speak and reconcile. Voila! I had a new uncle.
They bother recognised they were wrong in holding a grudge and missing out on the years of growth and change in themselves and their brother. Finally, the family was reunited, a very positive outcome.
Surrendering their anger and years of hostility was a positive thing emotionally. Giving away sports equipment for a sport that you no longer take part in signals the end to a part of your life that is over. You enjoyed it while you took part. Now, move on and find something new.
This phase of the moon, Wanning Crescent, is a dark but protective time when we can change and grow from it. Use the time wisely to allow yourself to change and to grow. When the New Moon arrives, you will shine and show how much you are reborn.

Beauty Way
Around us, there are beautiful things. Beauty may be in the home, the garden, trees, our family, our pets. Recognizing them and appreciating beauty around us is the message from the card for this week. Now, the trick is to bring beauty into your life every day. Beauty is also the way we live life, with integrity, patience, and acceptance. Patience may mean with a colleague at work, acceptance of a situation you cannot change. Where some will see darkness and struggle, look for ease and ways to bring light and energy to that situation.
Now is the time to stop and smell the roses. A moment of rest and stopping your head long rush to achieve will be highly beneficial for you. On a clear night sky, look up at the stars, astronomers know it is an amazing sight, they have names for the stars, but you don’t need those names, the fact the stars are there for you gaze on is enough. There are too many stars to count, just as there is too much wonder in you. There is beauty in you. Now is the time to learn what that is and move with it.
Nothing is truly broken. Relationships, if they are meant to heal, will do so. Do not struggle to fix friendships of people who were only meant to be in your life for a short time. They have left a gift and of their time and their connection and have moved on, so must you. At this moment, do not be seduced by the superficial glitter of something or someone you are flirting with. There may be a price to pay later.
The Staff
The Shaman’s staff is an important element of Shamanism and each Shaman has a staff that is uniquely their own.
It is a symbol of authority and power.
The staff gives you the power to find the middle course amongst many competing energies because it allows you to divine what is right and wrong and what must change for success. Moses carried a serpent staff through the desert, and with it he could summon the power of nature to heal or call plagues.
Being able to use the staff energy to find the middle ground also tells you that all things must change. The middle ground is a balancing point between negativity and positivity, between paralysis and movement. Trust that as you move forward to what you have always wanted, use the energy in the Staff, this card to find a delicate balance between will and surrender, day and night, action and inaction.
Take corrective action if it is needed as you move forward. Your life is in the hands of destiny, fate, the universe, but nothing says you cannot steer it course, the Staff helps with course adjustments, just as it does with the start and end of action.
Water
Water is very powerful for a Shaman. It symbolizes purification, regeneration, birth, revival, and cleansing. Water can be enormously power, carving away earth and rock, moving boulders and trees as it creates a valley. Or submerge them as it creates slakes and oceans. If human kind is in the way of its creative force, it can be destructive and end lives of people and animals.
It can be sleepy and lazy as it meanders in shallow rivers across the landscape. Water that is scolding hot but is not bubbling and boiling looks the same as water just before it freezes into ice.
Water can also be something we cannot grasp. When it is steamed, it is as ephemeral as breath. It can be hard and unyielding as ice.
Humans are 75% water. That includes our brain and our heart. Like the ebb and flow of the tides, allow sorrow and sadness, happiness and wonderment to flow through you now. Not only can these feelings be within you, but allow the world around you to flow over you and through you, knowing that you will remain and will move on to greater things.
This is like a baptism of newness and opportunity. There is a sense of newness, welcome it and embrace it

The Hunter
Before farming and agriculture, before our settled way of life, fixed in one place to tend crops and abundance from the land. The hunter was the one who searched the woods and the plains for game to hunt and kill, to back as food for the family and for the tribe.
He is a master tracker who knows which path to follow to find success.
Now is the time to follow your path to receive the abundance of the universe. Use the power and essence of the hunter to forge your own path, DO NOT follow the paths set by others, especially the paths well-worn and travelled. We may use these at some times, but now, the card tells you to follow your own unique path to abundance and manifestation. A compass is a tool that will tell you which direction is North, which is South, East and West. You have a strong internal compass. Follow it!
The hunter always looked for new prey and kills to make. They did not accept the rotting remains of meat that had died long ago. Today, we might call this road-kill. Also, as you hunt, be circumspect and examine the opportunities that come your way as you hunt. You need to separate fact from fiction, what glitters from what is gold. Do not be fooled, do not act too quickly. But act decisively when you have made your decision.
Queen of the Moon Oracle – Action
The card comes bringing a call to action. Your time of rest is over, or, if what is in front of you is paralyzing your ability to act, focus, and move!
Action, by its definition, means change. Change can be uncomfortable and challenging. Is what is in front of us the repeat of something we failed at? Is it something we want. but fear? A new relationship, a friendship, or a new job can be on our desires list but seem too dangerous to pursue. What if the new relationship causes hurt and upset to us, or a stable group of friends around us? A new job means new ways of doing things, different processes and procedures, can we adapt? Do we worry about fitting in with new colleagues?
Change and action are part of human nature, your nature. The Action card comes to you this week to tell you it is time to act, to move, to change, to develop. The time is this week, choose one thing that is “on hold” and get moving!

Stand Still
When we stand still, we have time to think. We have time to breathe and take stock of where and what we are doing. The card comes to tell us it is time to take a break from our hectic, ego driven life and enjoy the benefits of inaction.
Standing Still, or inaction is not a sign of being stuck, or stagnating. Being on the go, being a go-go person, always striving relentlessly in trying to achieve, that is what this card is all about. Standing still is to take the stress away from endless achievement and struggle.
Your body, your soul, is not some sort of engine that can run endlessly at full throttle. Wind down and enjoy doing so. When you are finally at a standstill, enjoy what you see and hear. There are gifts the universe gives out have a different tone and a different feel to them. This is one of them I call it relaxing and recharging. Perhaps, to get a different perspective on life and everything.
This is also the time to sit back and, in your standing, still, consider whether a project or task is worth the effort. The cycle of always on the go, always striving and you have the time and mental capacity to stop things that are not working to take a different direction. Shed the burdens of people and things which you should no longer be carrying.
The Council
At the end of our lives, before we are reborn, there is a period known in some schools of Buddhism as the Bardo State. While in the Bardo, our spirit is conscious and experiences the karma of the life that has just ended and all previous lives. It is a time of spiritual learning and also cleansing.
We do not have to die to experience this state of existence. A deep and protracted illness or a spiritual retreat can allow us to exist in it.
If it occurs in this life, it is to make us look at our relationship with living. It shows us our place in existence before we are born and that through life we learn and grow and change as we move towards that final spiritual goal.
The card asks us to consider if we are we making life too hard to live by our actions, beliefs, and behaviour? Do we enjoy enough, do we change enough when asked to change? Listen to your inner self, your soul, and look at the writing on the wall and allow yourself to move towards it. The time is now! Start your journey to grow, to love, forgive sincerely, and to dare. Take the leap without requiring life to assure you of success.
Water
Water is a powerful element to a Shaman. It symbolizes purification, regeneration, birth, revival, and cleansing. Water can be enormous power, carving away earth and rock, moving boulders and trees as it creates a valley, or submerges them as it creates lakes and oceans. If human kind is in the way of its creative force, it can be destructive and end lives of people and animals.
It can be sleepy and lazy as it meanders in shallow rivers across the landscape. Water that is scolding hot but is not bubbling and boiling looks the same as water just before it freezes into ice.
Water can also be something we cannot grasp. When it steams, it is as ephemeral as breath. It can be hard and unyielding as ice.
Humans are 75% water. That includes our brain and our heart. Like the ebb and flow of the tides, allow sorrow and sadness, happiness and wonderment to flow through you now. Not only can these feelings be within you, but allow the world around you to flow over you and through you, knowing that you will remain and will move on to greater things.
This is like a baptism of newness and opportunity. There is a sense of newness, welcome it and embrace it
Queen of the Moon Oracle –The Blue Moon - The Unexpected
Usually, there are 12 full moon events in a year, roughly three in each season of the year, three in each of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Some years there is an extra full moon, an unexpected moon, that is the blue moon and it appears in one of the seasons. Astronomically, it can be foretold, but in the past that was difficult to do and was a surprise when it happened. It was an unexpected event.
This led to the expression, “once in a Blue moon,” to refer to an event or behaviour that only happens rarely, and is unpredictable.
Blue Moons are wish moons. Make a wish for things to happen that are of miraculous proportions, such as winning the lottery or getting that car you have always wanted.
This does not mean you do not have to act! You need to research that car you want to make sure it is right for you. That lottery will not happen unless you go out and buy the ticket.
In all that we plan for in life, there will always be the unexpected. The car you want may be blue, not white. That lottery win will be sufficient for your needs, but not the “huge” win you wished for. A new person, in a new relationship may have grey eyes and brown hair, not green eyes and blonde hair. Accept the unexpected and go with the flow of the universe and your life.

The Beloved
This is an invitation to love. To learn about love. To be free to love and experience the return of your love from another. Sometimes, the object of our passion and not be a person; it could be a pet, it could even be a garden that never seems to stop giving back to you in beautiful blooms, fragrances, growth, and abundance.
If you are learning to love a person, do not conflict with what you think is love with personality. Personality is the totality of a person’s qualities, how they appear to others; it is their organized pattern of behavioural characteristics.
If you focus your ability to love on their personality, you will be disappointed because those attributes are not their ability to give and receive love. It was once said to me by a Finnish person that Finnish people often do not express their love as freely and often as other cultures. Instead, they demonstrate their love by doing something for you. Action speaks louder than words in their culture.
As you open yourself up to give love, you must be prepared to looks at actions and deeds rather than words.
The Rattle
The rattle is an essential part of the Shaman’s attire. It calls the spirits the Shaman wishes to speak with. It warns evil spirits that a Shaman is coming. It is a beacon, sending out the Shaman’s prayers and messages. It carries them to all four directions of the Shaman’s compass.
Take a moment to listen to the Rattle and its message. Concentrate on your wishes and pray for all the Earth; when you pray for more than your wishes, everything we need is provided for us.
Prayer can be simple… sit for a moment, and dream of the world you would like for your children and the children of all the people you know. End your prayer with “Great Spirit, may you will be done!”
Queen of the Moon Oracle Cards – Resilience
We all make mistakes and suffer the consequences of our actions, or sometimes inaction. We learn from our errors and move forward, move on. Someone once said that we recover from our mistakes and how we move on with what we have learned that makes us what we are today.
How we move forward defines our resilience to the “slings and arrows” of life, events and people around us. Resilience means an ability to adjust to or recover readily from illness, adversity, significant life changes, and events. Take this moment to look at your ability to recover from adversity and significant life changes.
2020 was a year of great upheaval, and 2021 is compounding the events of the year before. We have all undergone many life changes, and our resilience to continue to move forward has been tested. Now that we are through the test, we need to look at what we have learned to continue to grow and develop.
Now is your time to look at what you have learned and the resilience of your being, your soul, your spirit, develop it further and move on with energy and vigour.

Upper World
Shamans visit the upper world to speak to angels, divine spirits, helping spirits, and all that is luminous, empowering, and wonderful. They go there to seek the highest answers to their challenges, and of those, they are seeking to heal.
The Upper World is a place of destiny and growth, advancement and achievement. It is a place of discovery and potential. When the Shaman returns from the upper world, they bring healing and a future full of possibilities.
If the Trust card from last week encouraged you to trust yourself, the Upper World is sending you messages of encouragement to leap into the future. Your future. As you learned to trust in yourself and shrug off self-doubt, now you must rid yourself of sluggishness and apathy. While support for a new destiny is not yet in place, a new destination is available to you if you act now.
Wild Woman
The Wild Woman is a free spirit, unafraid of showing you how to hold up a mirror to your life. Unconstrained by the social etiquette of society, she reminds us to dance at the party as part of the expression of our life. If you feel constrained by the world, work, energy, and people around you, you are dimmed by what you allow to deny you.
Taking a peaceful moment to reflect on how you are constrained is the constraint of your own making. Have you gotten yourself into a situation where what you wanted is now restricting you? Are the conventions of society that came with what you have created for yourself hurting you? If so, then it is time to free yourself, find your inner light and move on. Have all the material things you have acquired now a burden, and many now lie unused.
Uncover your light, understand it, look at it and let it spontaneously shine brightly and lead you to where and to what is beneficial for you. Learn to engage with the world and be inspired by the world. Like a river, the world is fluid, ever-changing, always constant inflow, enjoyable if you allow it to guide and help you.
Queen of the Moon Oracle – Release
This card comes when spring is flowering; birds are mating and starting the next generation. Plants, trees and flowers are all blossoming and preparing for a new world of growth and change. For the new growth to manifest itself, the old must be discarded; branches that are deadfall from a tree without regard to whom or what may be underneath it.
You must do the same. Are you holding on to fishing equipment and perhaps a boat when you no longer go fishing?
It is time to sell those things when they still have value and have not rotted away. Perhaps the fishing tackle and the boat bring memories of people but no longer know. They were good times, but that is the past; today is your opportunity to release them so that you may move into the future of new friends and new activities.
Releasing the past so that you may have a more accessible and happier time now and an even better time in the future gives you energy and opens your mind to new experiences. Grasp those new experiences with your recent freedom of mind and ability to act. Don’t hold back!

Thank you.
The Curse
The curse speaks to our karma, karma from previous lives that affects and controls us in this life. It blocks us and directs us if we let it confuse us. Bad karma brought into this life from the past may appear accurate, but it is not.
A rash act in a past life, a life where you lived restricted by caste, culture, language or physical ability, should not affect this life unless you allow it to. This card appears to warn you to release past beliefs and karma that have followed you into this life. Control and remove fears, cultivate and learn about new things that are good for you.
Now is the time to move on from past restrictions that have played your mind and kept you back.
The Owl
The owl sees clearly, even at night. It is quiet and mysterious. It flies on wings specially adapted to be silent when washing so that its prey does not hear it coming. Most important to the owl is the intuition and wisdom to hunt in places where it can find food.
The owl spirit comes to tell you to be wise in where and what you do. Not everything in front of you, beckoning for your attention, will be beneficial to you. Use owl-like intuition to read between the lines, pay attention to contracts and what you sign obligates you to commitments that may not be right for you.
Just because others have signed quickly or accepted responsibilities and obligations do not mean that you need to do the same. We have free will, which gives us the possibility to do good, not so good, or nothing. You have only so much energy to accept obligations. Use your power wisely and on what benefits you. You do not have to be like everyone else, be yourself, uniquely yourself.
Trust in yourself, your intuition, your wisdom and a clear mind to make the right decision and only accept obligations that are beneficial to you.
Queen of the Moon Oracle - Trust
This is the time to cultivate and grow trust in yourself, your actions, thoughts and deeds. If you do, then good things will materialize.
Self-trust is magnetic; it is the foundation of all other trusts that we develop and use with people and things in our lives. Self-trust brings self-respect and self-confidence. Above all, it brings a more profound and more appreciative knowing of ourselves.
When you know yourself and trust your actions and abilities, you start to encounter an abundant life, a life when all things are possible. All are achievable, and your natural creativity brings good things into your life.

Pachamama
Pachamama is Mother Earth, Gaia. She loves everything on earth, all that is growing, plants, flowers, trees, grasses, stones, rocks and the water that flows over the world. Pachamama loves all of humanity, in all its diversity and all of its ages.
All that is living on this earth gives the animals and us the ability for our souls to experience a temporary, impermanent, and imperfect physical existence. Regardless of its imperfections, perfection can be an imperfection in itself. Be grateful for it. Every morning and every evening, spend a few minutes to express your gratitude for who you are and what you are.
A shaman connects with the spirits of the trees, flowers, stones, water and air as they seek information to heal someone, a tribe, or a community.
This week, eat carefully and balance your meals and what goes into them. As they say, a little of everything is good; too much of one thing is not. Be nourished by what you eat is the message. Take some time to be happy and light-hearted; take pleasure in art or movies or music as this is an expression of your appreciation for the life you have. Be nourished by what you experience.
Show how much you enjoy the earth and all living things by letting Pachamama witness you do something such as planting something, caring for plants and animals that might not otherwise have been cared for.
The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer symbolizes beliefs and ideas of division, struggle and being without. We feel the Sorcerer casts a dark shadow over our lives, but the shadows are our own in reality. Those shadows are feelings of separation from loved ones, colleagues, pets. Feelings of conflict and aggression to others to achieve our self-centred goals.
Our shadows may be narrow, broad, or generous in their focus. Either way, our busy mind loves to feed off the shadow energy and its negative feelings. The Sorcerer is asking you to look at these energies, examine how destructive they are. What are you feeling? Resentment, vengeance, lust, greed, bigotry, or hatred about or to whom or what. These feelings are unjustified and not your spiritual core, which is pushed away without consideration.
The Sorcerer challenges you, confronts your dark thinking and beliefs. Now! Is a second chance! Start over. Be strong and be vigilant about the darkness you are being asked to recognize and then discard.
Others are not to blame for what is inside of you, what you allow to be there. Take a moment to create a sense of peace, move in another direction, and not let those negative thoughts and feelings grow again. You are done with them and that way of living.
Queen of the Moon Oracle Cards – Attraction
Attraction is about bringing to yourself things that you want. And by definition of attraction, there is the ability to deflect the things you do not and no longer need.
This card is also a Super Moon. That is, the moon is at its closest to the earth in its revolutions, and as a result, it looks oversized in the sky. As a result of the closeness of the moon to the planet, Tides are unusually high. As human beings are made up mostly of water, 60% actually, our emotions are more potent than usual when the moon is this close to us.
If our feelings are more substantial and our ability to attract is more vigorous, we must be careful with this period of sensitivity. Blindly attracting everything will not benefit us. We need to be discerning in what we attract and decide to keep and what will leave our lives to have time for the new things and people who have entered our lives.

The Blade
A Blade is a cutting tool. It represents your mind, body, and spirit. Pointing upward, it summons the power of heaven to help you manifest. What is that you wish for? Be clear in your thoughts. It will cut cords attached to you that no longer serve you or are toxic in their effect on you. It is a thing of action. Use it now; use it with the best intention and not as a weapon. Use it to heal those old relationships or places by letting them go.
The Blade is sent to help you with your dreams which are grounded and stagnant. A blade can help you move forward because it frees you from things that do not mean anything to you. Do not use it in anger or bad intention. If you do, the karmic outcome will be worse than you had imagined. Always use the Blade positively to help you move forward.
The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, Yggdrasil, is a Sacred symbol in Norse mythology. In Buddhism, it is the Bo tree or Bodhi tree. In Islam, it is the Tree of Immortality. In Christianity, the Tree of Life first appears in Genesis in The Garden of Eden. In Hebrew, it is Etz Chaim. In the Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism depicts the Tree of life with ten interconnected nodes or ten Sefirot powers in the divine realm.
To the Shaman, the Tree of knowledge connects all the realms of existence, from the higher realm of the Gods to the darkness of the underworld.
The message of the Tree of life is twofold for this week and your life in general.
To connect with the upper world, you need to be tall, not literally but elevated in thought and action. You need to have aspirational goals that are pure and clear and can be acted on. They should not be manipulative or degrading.
A tree with shallow roots will fall over in a strong wind. Now is the time to ensure you are grounded and understand what it is to be foundational. You cannot reach your goals if you have not prepared. To put it simply, if you aspire to be a doctor, you cannot attain that goal unless you complete all the study and training required to be a doctor, not just a doctor; you want to be a good doctor. So, study hard.
To reach the upper world and be grounded means to be aligned with what you desire and what your Life Path purpose is. Open up to your Life Path Purpose and stop simply "turning the wrenches" on a boring unfulfilling life. Take time, peaceful time to think about your energies and what you want in life. That will help you create your life rather than be a directionless traveller through it.
Upper World
Shaman visits the upper world to speak to angels, divine spirits, helping spirits, and all that is luminous, empowering, and wonderful. They go there to seek the highest answers to their challenges and of those they are seeking to heal.
The Upper World is a place of destiny and growth, advancement and achievement. It is a place of discovery and potential. When the Shaman returns from the upperworld, they bring healing and a future full of possibilities.
If the card of Trust from last week encouraged you to trust yourself, the Upper World is sending you messages of encouragement to leap into the future. Your future. As you learned to trust in yourself and shrug off self-doubt, now you must rid yourself of sluggishness and apathy. While support for a new destiny is not yet in place, a new destination is available to you if you act now.
Self-Reflection
Moving forward, shedding self-doubt in favour of self-trust, embracing your future, journeying to the Upper World where all is light and abundance can all be exhausting and cause doubt to creep in.
Now is the time to take a few minutes at the end of the day to reflect on what has happened during the day and think about your reaction to all the events, thoughts and deeds. Pay special attention to the things that you thought you should say and do but did not. Why not? What held you back? Was your voice heard today, and if it was, was it clear?
Do you like the feelings that arise from your reflection? If not, why not, and how can you get past your feelings. When you think about the day and what you did or did not do, do you feel anger, frustration and annoyance? Think carefully about these feelings and identify the source; when you find the source, consider how to change things to not feel this way in the future.
Self-reflection is all about improving yourself and your feelings to not repeat them in the future.

Jaguar
Jaguar is a predator and a guardian. As a predator, the Jaguar tracks its prey with stealth and strength. Never seen and rarely heard, the Jaguar is successful in its goal of surviving with grace and power.
Jaguar is adventurous. Now is the time to use the energy of the Jaguar to succeed in looking beyond what you perceive as your boundaries. Investigate and learn, challenge yourself to do something new, something you have not done before. Take an online course, listen to music you have not heard before, in a genre you are not used to.
Jaguar is adventurous, and you need to be so now. Push limits, boundaries, go beyond. The boundaries you live within are old, and they are decaying and taking your spirit with them. They are making you live in the shadows of your past, possibly past successes, but you have reaped all the benefit you can from those achievements. Like the Jaguar hunting, make new successes and a new life for yourself.
The Blade
A Blade is a cutting tool. It represents your mind, body, and spirit. Pointing upward, it summons the power of heaven to help you manifest. What is that you wish for? Be clear in your thoughts. It will cut cords attached to you that no longer serve you or are toxic in their effect on you. It is a thing of action. Use it now; use it with the best intention and not as a weapon. Use it to heal those old relationships or places by letting them go.
The Blade is sent to help you with your dreams which are grounded and stagnant. A blade can help you move forward because it frees you from things that do not mean anything to you. Do not use it in anger or bad intention. If you do, the karmic outcome will be worse than you had imagined. Always use the Blade positively to help you move forward.
The Rainmaker
The Rainmaker is all about manifestation. When it rains, the plants and trees and all that is Mother Gaia have an essential element they need to grow and show the world what living is all about. Rivers fill with water, fish and aquatic animals, birds, have abundant insects to feed on. So many things depend on rain.
Shamans have traditionally connected with all manner of nature angels, angels that govern the Earth, plants, water and what grows and lives in the wild, away from humanity. In their connection with nature, Shamans are able to connect with the rain gods and spirits of the sky to bring rain and to help prevent storms.
As a living spirit, you have many beautiful things in your life. Spring is a time of creation and birth. The Rainmaker is asking you to look at your life and create something new, fascinating and exciting from it.
As seeds push up through the ground at this time of year, you must do the same. Encourage yourself, be confident and find that seed in you waiting to burst through and help you be something you have not been until now. Remember that the world is only mirroring back to you the condition of your love and your intent, so change these within before you take any action.
The Rattle
The rattle is an essential part of the Shaman’s attire. It calls the spirits the Shaman wishes to speak with. It warns evil spirits that a Shaman is coming. It is a beacon, sending out the Shaman’s prayers and messages. It carries them to all four directions of the Shaman’s compass.
Take a moment to listen to the Rattle and its message. Concentrate on your wishes and pray for all the Earth; when you pray for more than your wishes, everything we need is provided for us.
Prayer can be simple… sit for a moment, and dream of the world you would like for your children and the children of all the people you know. End your prayer with “Great Spirit, may you will be done!”
Trust
If the other cards in this week’s reading have spoken about setting out in a new direction, encouraging yourself to be adventurous and motivating, this card is all about trust.
Self-trust. You are trusting in yourself to make the right decisions and being confident. When you are confident in yourself, you can achieve what you are meant to. Self-doubt is the opposite of self-trust. Self-doubt is the greatest of the things you have to release to move forward.
If you have been successful in the past and know what that feels like, is self-doubt now holding you back from moving on and using the tools and your spirit to achieve more?
Now is the time to release self-doubt and embrace self-trust. Trust in yourself now!

We have free will and that gives you the possibility to do good, not so good, or nothing. You have only so much energy to accept obligations use your energy wisely and on what benefits you. You do not have to be like everyone else, be yourself, uniquely yourself.
Trust in yourself, your intuition, your wisdom and a clear mind to make the right decision and only accept obligations that are beneficial to you.
Wind
Wind is air. Air is one of the Five Elements important to a Shaman and Shamanic Tradition. It is a unique element. It is all around us yet we cannot see it, touch it and is the medium that keeps us alive and allows us to speak, sing, laugh, communicate and spread our ideas and wisdom. It allows us to experience and to be heard.
Just as we can be heard through the air, so are things brought to us by it. Bird song, the whispers of a partner or a pet and music. But air, the wind, also brings the opposite, anger, distrust, and violence.
The wind may blow gently as a whisper or like a Tornado. You can stand with your back to it and try to resist it or turn and face and feel the message that wind is sending you.
The wind always means change. In nature the wind blows down branches and trees that are dead or weak. It may even blow down homes and buildings that are unsound. It is your challenge this week to understand what the wind is blowing down. Why it is blowing the way it is, and what is dead or weak in your life.
Depending on how you are attached to what is leaving your life, your existence, the wind may be blowing gently, encouraging you, or like a storm and sweeping away things violently. The more you hold in to what needs to leave the stronger the wind will blow and the greater the force it will apply.
Do not hold on to what you do not need, what no longer serves you. Be prepared for the calm and clarity of fresh air after a storm, good things are coming.
Eagle
The sun rises in the east and that is the direction from which the Eagle comes into your life. The Eagle is a predator, it soars high in the sky, looking down on the earth for prey and sustenance. It has powerful vision to see the smallest creature but it also sees the big picture, it takes in the entire landscape with one movement of its head.
It securely nests in the mountains and the tall trees; above all it is successful in the hunt and bringing a new generation of itself into being for us to enjoy and wonder at. From its high vantage, on a thermal of air, a tall tree or a mountain it sees the world as a place of abundance and opportunity.
If you cannot see the abundance and new opportunities around you, have you become focused on your feet? Your feet connect you to the earth, they ground you. But the eagle comes to invite you to soar as it does and to see the bigger picture of your life.
2020 was a year when we focused on what we should not be doing. 2021 is better but not free of obligations and limitations placed on us by the pandemic.
Yet the eagle comes to tell us to lift our heads, look at the opportunities and plan to take charge. Even if there were no pandemic, there would still be challenges to overcome do you have the education you need, do you have the money, do you have the time, do you have the inner drive to achieve? Now is the time to take action and make things happen in preparation for a time when things will be freer and open to allow you to achieve your goals.
Queen of the Moon Oracle Card – Hunger
Hunger is not about our stomachs, it is about what is inside of us, what motivates us, what we enjoy and what we do not.
Today, just as in the ancient past there are white shamans, shamans who spoke to the beneficial spirits of the community, and of each person. They learn from them and practise for the good of all. The opposite of white shamans you guessed it, are black Shamans. Black Shamans also exist and practice today. Black shamans speak to and learn from malevolent spirits.
It is time for you to look within yourself and see who you are. What is your intention. Who do you learn from and why? Are your actions “white” or “black” in nature and by design. Do you take pleasure in building and creating or do you seek to tear down and destroy?
This period of self-reflection coincides with the growth that is all around you. Take some time to decide who you are inside, and who you listen to. Is there a disconnect? If there is remedy it, change what is discordant. But above all, accept that what you listen to will control your experience if life and this world.

Thank you.
The Witness
The Witness sees things, people, and events but does not participate in what is happening, being said, or done. There is objectivity to what the Witness sees, hears and does not act on. Even when quick responses and actions are taken, if we can create a moment of stillness, we can make better decisions.
The Witness, a spirit that has been with you all through your life, whether you know it or not. Whether you are aware of The Witness or not, now is the time to let events happen according to your life's purpose. Stand back and be calm, be a witness to what is happening rather than the doer.
These moments brought to you by the Witness are also a lesson to be learned. Many of us strive to manipulate so that the outcome from events and our lives are what we want, not what the universe has planned and not what is best for our life path. The Witness says to take a deep breath and not fall into those patterns again. Instead, take a deep breath and connect with yourself and your purpose by letting events unfold by themselves.
The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is a Sacred symbol in Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. In Buddhism, it is the Bo tree or Bodhi tree. In Islam, it is the Tree of Immortality. In Christianity, the Tree of life first appears in Genesis in The Garden of Eden. In Hebrew, it is Etz Chaim. In the Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism depicts the Tree of life with ten interconnected nodes or ten Sefirot powers in the divine realm.
To the Shaman, the Tree of knowledge connects all the realms of existence, from the higher realm of the Gods to the darkness of the underworld.
The message of the Tree of life is twofold for this week and your life in general.
To connect with the upper world, you need to be tall, not literally but elevated in thought and action. You need to have aspirational goals that are pure and clear and can be acted on. They should not be manipulative and degrading. These thoughts and actions will lead to you touching and seeing the good things in the world and to come in your life.
A tree with shallow roots will fall over in a strong wind. Now is the time to ensure you are grounded and understand what it is to be foundational. You cannot reach your goals if you have not prepared. To put it simply, if you aspire to be a doctor, you cannot attain that goal unless you complete all the study and training required to be a doctor, not just a doctor; you want to be a good doctor. So study and work hard.
To reach the upper world and be grounded also means to be aligned with what you desire and what your Life Path purpose is. This means you need to open up to your Life Path Purpose and stop simply "turning the wrenches" of a boring unfulfilling life. Take time, peaceful time to think about your energies and what you want in life. That will help you create your life rather than be a directionless traveller through it.
Wild Woman
The Wild Woman is a free spirit, unafraid of showing you how to hold up a mirror to your life. Unconstrained by the social etiquette of society, she reminds us to dance at the party is part of the expression of our life. If you feel constrained by the world, work, energy, and people around you, you are dimmed by what you allow to constrain you.
Take a peaceful moment to reflect on how you are constrained, are the constraints of your own making. Have you gotten yourself into a situation where what you wanted is now restricting you? Are the conventions of society that came with what you have created for yourself hurting you? If so, then it is time to free yourself, find your inner light and move on. Have all the material things you have acquired now a burden, and many now lie unused.
Uncover your light, understand it, look at it and let it spontaneously shine brightly and lead you too where and to what is beneficial for you. Learn to engage with the world and be inspired by the world. The world is fluid, like a river, ever-changing, always constant inflow, enjoyable if you allow it to guide and help you.
Queen of the Moon Oracle Card – Beauty
It is now Spring; the winter is past, and we are looking forward to summer.
Look around you; life is starting in all living things, plants are beginning to bloom, trees are beginning to grow back their leaves, and animals seek mates to create the next generation of their essence. Yes! That applies to humans as well.
Now is the time to stop and appreciate how life is growing and changing after winter, if only for a moment. Take a walk in a local park, take a walk through the plants in your flower box!
Take pleasure once again in your friendships and loved ones, including your pets and animals in your life. Just as life around you is growing, what in you is growing? New hopes and ideas?
In human terms, 2020 was a rough year, and 2021 is not much better though there is hope from medical science. Now is the time for you to be hopeful, thoughtful and ready to grow and be beautiful in your way. Take the time to let beauty come into your life from Spring all around you and be beautiful within yourself and appreciate yourself.

Thank you.
The Corn
Corn is sustenance, we eat the kernels and use the rest of the plant to build things and to make fire to warm our homes and cook the kernels. The stalks can be used for roofing and with the mud of Mother Gaia, make walls. Everything about Corn is abundant, it helps us and is tangible.
Corn is prosperity in the real, physical world. Corn also says there is more than enough to go around. Let go of thoughts and fears of scarcity and not having enough or that someone will steal your abundance. Understand that the universe will provide, but you must be in a relationship with it in order to receive. You will reap what you sow.
We work hard to plant new ideas, and we hope they will grow and give us goodness and abundance in the future. Even when things were difficult, you did not lose faith in what you have planted. You have kept going.
The corn takes time to grow and provide the abundance you are about to reap. It is time to be warry of shortcuts, things that seem to be too good or inner feelings of being entitled to a certain outcome.
Let go of insecurity, feelings or thoughts of there not being enough, or that someone else could take what is yours. You have all you need for success.
Remember, it is always darkest before the dawn but you continued on, planting and nurturing. Now the spirit of the Corn comes to honor this and show you how bountiful the harvest is.
Now is the time to reap the rewards of effort, and trust. Regardless of whether the rewards are financial or the kind of prosperity measured in quality rather than quantity. Now is the time to feel blessed but don’t forget to share your good fortune.
As we anticipate good fortune and abundance be careful! Do not try to rush the harvest of abundance. Get rich quick schemes and shortcuts will not help, they may damage the things you have planted.
The Gatherer
The Gatherer speaks to a time before we grew grains in fields and harvested them according to the seasons. The gather found seeds, berries and fruit in places that others might see a barren and desolate. The gatherer can provide when others cannot.
Now is time to take stock of your life. Look at what you wish for and what you do not. What you have around you is abundance if you choose to recognise it for what it is. Be thankful in advance for what it is your able to build with what you have.
Seeing scarcity when there is abundance drags you down. Whatever your situation use your skills and abilities to bring new things into your life, those things will bring bounty and riches.
The Serpent
Two serpents entwine on the Caduceus, the symbol used by doctors for health and knowledge. The serpent is a powerful symbol of both. Perhaps it is time for you to start working on both. Give up bad habits such as smoking which damages your body. Learn something new that will bring new abundance into your life. If you are worried about what to study or not know what to do bring into your life, the serpent is there to guide you.
Follow the Serpents guidance and you will be abundant and happy. Even if what you receive is a message to rest, do so. Perhaps you are receiving this message because you are trying too hard. You are not “going with the flow.”
Queen of the Moon Oracle – Full Moon – Power
Often in our lives we play a lesser role than we might because we hesitate or do not want to draw attention to ourselves. We assume a lesser role than we are capable of.
The Full moon card is sent to you to remind you, encourage you to stand up and take your power. Above all, be confident in yourself. Let that confidence be your clarity and your rock going forward. Do not speak with a weaker, lesser voice than was given to you. Take back you power by standing tall and speaking clearly.

The Lower World
The Lower world is not the Underworld. The Lower World is a place of treasures and good things that have been lost and forgotten but not discarded. This is the place where you find a pleasure and a skill you had when you were a teenager and had forgotten because you “grew up.”
When we join with a group, we can make ourselves small because we want to be liked. If you were a good skier when you were young, and are now finding the joy in skiing coming back, show your skill and ability and do not make yourself appear less than you are because those you are with are not so adept or capable.
Let your past be something to treasure and enjoy and be happy with. Yes, there are treasure and abilities to be recovered, there are also lessons that you learned that need to re-examined to see how relevant they are now and whether they can benefit you.
The Ghost Dance
The Ghost Dance of the American Plains Indians united the spirits of the living with those of the ancestors to bring peace to the world.
Ancestors, your parents and grandparents are important. Remember and value the things they gave to us, materially and spiritually, the happy times and the good times.
When we honour and value them, we are in harmony with them. When we blame them for what we encounter in our lives today, they bring pain and unhappiness.
Be open to receiving from our spiritual ancestors. Take a moment at the start of the day or the end of the day to say “Thank you father”, “Thank you mother” for the person you are today. They helped to give the values and the approach to life that has carried you to where you are now.
Now is the time to use the energy and life they gave you, value the abundance of them and those times.
Nostalgia and dreams of a lost youth, a lost life is not benefiting you. They are making you sad and unhappy. Those thoughts are draining your energy. Look at what is making you feel this way and be determined to move on from it. End it. Determine to be happy and abundant.
Lightning
Lightning, is a huge discharge of energy from the sky to the ground. On the ground it can damage and it can create. In a forest, it may destroy some trees as it hits the ground but if it creates a fire, it is a cleansing fire, consuming dead trees and undergrowth to make way for new trees and new plants and growing things in which animals can live and hunt and give birth to new generations.
Think of this card as being a message for what is inside of you. If you are full of old ideas and old habits that are tired and add nothing to your life than this card is sent to you to recognise that those things must go and the new energy from the Upper World is here to show you the benefits of new creative endeavours.
The Shaman energy of this card brings gifts and cleansing all at the same time, let the old go, and embrace the new. If you need to sit quietly to allow these things to happen, do so. It is time to accept that you must change, that things in your life must change. Prepare to move on as you accept what it is you are moving to. Not to do so will mean you miss the opportunity and will be destined to repeat past unhappiness until the next bolt of lightning arrives from the Upper World.
Queen of the Moon Oracle Card Wanning Gibbus – Realization.
Wanning Gibbus starts at the end of a Ful moon and lasts until the moon is in its third Quarter.
The message this card brings is to pay attention to being self-aware of your life, and especially your habits. There might be good habits, and there might be bad habits. Some we can encourage and some we can work to discourage and end.

Thank you.
The Blade
The Blade is a cutting tool. It represents your mind, body, and spirit. Pointing upward, it summons the power of heaven to help you manifest. What is that you wish for? Be clear in your thoughts. It will cut cords attached to you that no longer serve you or are toxic in their effect on you. It is a thing of action. Use it now, use it with best intention and not as a weapon. Use it to heal those old relationships or places by letting them go.
The blade is sent to help you with your dreams which are grounded and stagnant. Blade can help you move forward because it frees you from things that do not mean anything to you. Do not use it in anger or bad intention. If you do, the karmic outcome will be worse than you had imagined. Always use the blade positively to help you move forward.
The Time Master
Humanity perceives time as moving linearly, a straight line from birth to death. Even when we look at our watches, we see the hands moving around the face in a steady, even progression of minutes, hours and days. This linear view leads us to the feeling that there is not enough time. We are always referring to something that has a finite ending.
In reality, time does not move in a linear path, when we are in the NOW, in the moment, we can see all of time, the past, present and future. In that moment, at any moment, you can see time in all its infinite potential, one vast and all-encompassing flow and then shrunken and finite. It all depends on perspective.
The Time Master asks you to think about how you perceive time and everything it represents. Will you break free from your limited cause-and-effect thinking. Will you move beyond linear illusion, and be able to welcome the cyclic quality of time?
If you can look beyond the linear view of time and take back your power, let go of the past so you can step fully into your life. In this moment you are all-powerful. Anything is possible now.
Sometimes it appears time is ebbing away from us, there Is not enough. You fear that as time runs away from you your plans hopes and desires will also elude you. But this is a perception of your mind. If you are fully part of NOW you will be able to release thoughts, emotions and failed dreams from the past so you are better able to see and expect the future.
It is in the NOW that the magic of time and your hopes and dreams reveal themselves. Relax and they will appear directly in front of you and nothing else. When you realize you have all the time in the world. You will never run out of it!
The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer symbolizes beliefs and ideas of division, struggle and being without. We feel the sorcerer casts a dark shadow over our lives, but in reality, the shadows are own. Those shadows are feelings of separation from loved one, colleagues, pets. Feelings of conflict and aggression to others in order to achieve our self-centred goals.
Our shadows may be narrow, broad, or generous in their focus. Either way, our busy mind loves to feed off the shadow energy and its negative feelings. The sorcerer, is asking you to look at these energies, examine how destructive they are. What are you feeling? Resentment, vengeance, lust, greed, bigotry, or hatred about or to whom or what. These feelings are unjustified and not your spiritual core which is pushed away without consideration.
The Sorcerer challenges you, confronts your dark thinking and beliefs. Now! Is a second chance! Start over. Be strong and be vigilant about the darkness you are beings asked to recognise, and then, to discard.
Others are not to blame for what is inside of you, what you allow to be there. Take a moment to create a sense of peace and move in another direction and do not allow those negative thoughts and feelings to grow again. You are done with them and that way of living.
Queen of the Moon Oracle Card Wanning Crescent – Release.
The waning Crescent is the last phase of the moon, the shape of the moon is smaller and smaller until it is a thin narrow band. At the end the, the moon slips into darkness and prepares to return as a full moon.
As with many things in life, you need to let go of what does not work for you before something new can come into your life. This could be a relationship, a new job, a new way of looking at the world, a new way to enjoy life.
Without release, you cannot move forward, cannot experience new things. Release now!

The Seer
Intuition is the great teacher, and the great motivator. The Seer understands and trust intuition. Do you?
In all aspects of our lives, intuition is the guide if we will listen to it. Intuition does not follow rules, it does not follow a logical pattern. Intuition is ephemeral and the goal it is taking you to may not be the one you expect or even understand is possible in your life.
The fact is many people do not understand or follow their intuition. They prefer logic, planning and the word of others over their own. Their gut feeling about a person, a relationship, a friendship or a colleague is ignored, replaced by hopes and dreams that may not be grounded in reality. Part of intuition is truth. The Seer seeks truth and through intuition brings it to you. Will you follow it. Will you allow it to guide you?
The Seer reads between the lines and understands what is not being said. There is clarity in the Seer, will you ignore it?
Now is the time for you to trust your intuition, to move forward with it and be successful rather than be lost in plans and effort that does not bring rewards.
Trust your instincts, allow perception of your circumstances to widen to include the nuances and subtle cues that you normally miss if you take things at face value.
You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Your vision is clear.
The Seer appears now to challenge you to end denial and begin telling yourself the truth about your situation. Wishful thinking will not make what you desire happen when you’re refusing to see things as they are. The truth may hurt, but it will set you free to claim the bounty that is waiting for you to notice it. This is a moment of true power.
Wind
Wind is air, one of the five elements recognised by Shamans. Air rules communication, thought, song, and inspired ideas. It carries our speech to another so that we may communicate. It is both the positive and negative, the wind that fills the sails of a sailing ship also blows down a home.
The wind blows from all directions, but the four cardinal direction interest us most.
· South: trust, helping you gently begin to discard habits and parts of you that are no longer needed
· West: introspection, a willingness to make final decisions, to let go of attachment and ego desires
· North: bringing wisdom and strength
· East: clarity of vision and purpose
The wind offers a challenge and whichever direction the wind blows from, facing it to meet the challenge takes courage.
Wind brings change, you need to be thoughtful and change your mind about something that until now, had seemed solid and reasonable. Look at it again and be ready to change as the wind blows.
It may seem as if your world has been turned upside down, but this is a temporary storm it will blow over.
The Child
When we are young, we know the world is full of magic and new things to enjoy and it is a place for adventures. As we grow older, we lose that childlike wonder and appreciation for what is around us as we struggle and battle to make things happen that we perceive we want.
Recapture your childhood, you child’s sense of wonder.
Do it now!
Look around you without judgement, without a sense of doing, just receive.
Sit in a park, by a lake. Think of friends, family and your partner. Look at them with your child’s sense of wonder and openness. Appreciate the new things you see in them. Are they so strange that you cannot do this? No! Enjoy a return to your childhood and without an adult’s outlook.
Queen of the Moon Oracle Card – Pleasure
Life can be a struggle. Our ego mind, stress and struggle of trying to attain goals and accumulate achievement has blocked our appreciation of life. Life is not to be fought and struggled against, it is to be enjoyed and those experiences are important.
The message here is to stop fighting life, struggling against it, trying to mould it into something it cannot be and does not give us pleasure.
Go out in nature and enjoy. Go for a walk. Decide for today and every day going forward that you are not going to fight and struggle, you are going to let life and nature unravel as they are intended to do.
Relax, and be at peace.
Every Monday I will post a video and podcast for the Shamanic Energy of the coming week. The reading is a general reading, please take what resonates with you.
I am a Registered Reiki Teacher and Practitioner and a Usui Tibetan Reiki Master Teacher as well as a Shaman. I am a published author of books and online courses on Reiki and Shamanism and together with this YouTube Channel I host a Podcast on Shamanism.
Each Monday I will post a YouTube video of the Shamanic Energy Card Reading for the week ahead.

The Eagle
The east is the place where the sun, with all its brightness and energy, rises each day.
The eagle flies out of the east with all the energy of the sun under its wings. It rises on the thermal air currents the sun creates. The sharp hunters’ eyes of the eagle see all that is happening on the ground. As a bird it looks for prey to eat, as a messenger, it brings you the sharpens of vision and intent so that you can see the opportunities around you.
It is time to look up, so that you can look down at what is around you.
What! You cannot do this? Are you trapped into daily routine, a grinding daily routine that gives you some simple things but not what is required to allow you to soar and be free and creative?
Daily repetition is not what you were put on earth for. You are here to achieve and for your spirit to earn and be more than it was yesterday, last week, last year. Take a deep breath and look up, so you can look down. Take the opportunities that are around you and believe in what it is you are here to do, to be.
Be what you can be so that as you pass into the six bardo states of the in between, you are happy and embrace them and what is to come next.
Be an Eagle, now and for the remainder of your life, no matter how many years you have left.
The Sweat Lodge
Think of the Sweat Lodge and think of a modern Sauna. They have many things in common. In a small space, volcanic rocks from deep in Mother Gia are heated until they are red hot and then life giving water is spinked over them to make steam, and humidity. In the sauna we are often, but not always naked. Being naked, we can hide nothing and be who we truly are. We sit in dim light, not darkness. In a native Indian Sweat Lodge, you would be in darkness.
It is a personal moment in a personal space. This is the time when out insides, through sweat become our outsides and can be shed. It is a time for old habits and beliefs to go, drip from us in the sweat that comes from the pores in our skin, the largest living organ we and all animals have.
Now is the time for a new start, a second chance, a moment of peace before change. Now is the time to be ready to adopt new habits, beliefs and thoughts and prepare to move beyond what we have been before we walked through the door of the Sauna or Sweat Lodge.
Observe the ritual of the sauna. Use more water to create more steam from the hot rocks. Be patient as the heat and steam draw out the physical toxins and the spiritual. Recognise them for what they are. But do not spend much time on them.
The Sweat Lodge, the Sauna is a place of new beginnings, new opportunities if you truly and freely shed the things that are not working for you. As you release, think of the hot steamy space you are in as being somewhere where the new opportunities can take root and grow.
The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer symbolizes beliefs and ideas of division, struggle and being without. We feel the sorcerer casts a shadow over our lives, but in reality, the shadows are own.
Our shadows may be narrow, broad, or generous in their focus. Either way, our busy mind loves to feed off the shadow energy from negative feelings. The sorcerer, is asking you to look at these energies, examine how destructive they are. What are you feeling resentment, vengeance, lust, greed, bigotry, or hatred about or to?
The Sorcerer is here to challenge you your thinking and beliefs. Now is a second chance! Start over. Others are not blame for what is inside of you, what you allow to be there. Take a moment to create a sense of peace and move in another direction and do not allow those negative thoughts and feelings to grow again. You are done with them and that way of living.
Every Monday I will post a video and podcast for the Shamanic Energy of the coming week. The reading is a general reading, please take what resonates with you.

The Witness.
The Witness is someone who watches and observes what happens around them. The people, places, events and what changes are of interest to them. But they do not get involved.
By not taking action they are not ensnared by what is not important to them, does not bring them anything of value. This inner stillness brings a higher perspective and patience with people and life around them.
The Witness is a mirror, like a Toli, the mirror placed over a Shamans heart to reflect away any dark or lower spirit who might attack them, the stillness provides the ability for the Witness to over impartial advice while being protected from any negativity that may be turned towards them.
Sometimes, it is best to simply get out of the way and let nature and Karmic energy take its course. Be still and let events unfold. There are things you can change and things you cannot. Be still like the Witness and watch what happens in your life when you do not struggle.
The Child
When we are young, we know the world is full of magic and new things to enjoy and it is a place for adventures. As we grow older, we lose that childlike wonder and appreciation for what is around us as we struggle and battle to make things happen that we perceive we want.
Recapture your childhood, you child’s sense of wonder.
Do it now!
Look around you without judgement, without a sense of doing, just receive.
Sit in a park, by a lake. Think of friends, family and your partner. Look at them with your child’s sense of wonder and openness. Appreciate the new things you see in them. Are they so strange that you cannot do this? No! Enjoy a return to your childhood and without an adult’s outlook.
The Owl
Owl Spirit arrives to remind you that the wisdom within you is informed by your keen senses and the wisdom within the consciousness we all share. Even in the darkest night, the owl sees clearly and is guided by every sense it has, including the first sense of intuition. Right now, your sensitivities are turbocharged and you are receiving messages from all directions. Owl Spirit reminds you to be wise and pay attention to what’s between the lines, what is invisible to the naked eye, what cannot be heard with the ears, and what others may not be able to perceive. With all your senses aroused, you have much knowledge available to you. Clarity will come as you sit with all that you are sensing, allowing your intuition to guide you in understanding the whole and not just the parts. Let your wisdom arise and be your guide as you trust the acuity of all your senses. Intuition is real and can provide the clarity you need to understand your situation right now. Your relationship, your finances, your job—whatever it is, you can see the truth clearly now.
The Owl brightens your vision in order for you to see in the dark. The Owl can cut through the shadows to illuminate the real truth. Someone may be trying to camouflage his or her real intentions. Deceit, lies, and unclear intentions are exposed with Owl energy.
The Owl also reminds you to be honest with yourself and snap out of any lies or denial inside you. Lying to yourself is the way that you’ll remain lost in a prison of your own making. The Owl appears to ask you to seek the truth in the darkest places within yourself. This will set you free and restore you to wholeness.
All is well with the Owl to guide you. Deep wisdom into human nature is gained through the ability to recognize untruths. This is an important marker on your path.

The Sweat Lodge
Think of the Sweat Lodge and think of a modern Sauna. They have many things in common. In a small space, volcanic rocks from deep in Mother Gia are heated until they are red hot and then life giving water is spinked over them to make steam, and humidity. In the sauna we are often, but not always naked. Being naked, we can hide nothing and be who we truly are. In a sauna we sit in light, not darkness. In a native Indian Sweat Lodge, you would be in darkness.
It is a personal moment in a personal space. This is the time when our insides, through sweat become our outsides and can be shed. It is a time for old habits and beliefs to go, drip from us in the sweat that comes from the pores in our skin, the largest living organ we and all animals have.
Now is the time for a new start, a second chance, a moment of peace before change. Now is the time to be ready to adopt new habits, beliefs and thoughts and prepare to move beyond what we have been before we walked through the door of the Sauna or Sweat Lodge.

The Sweat Lodge, the Sauna is a place of new beginnings, new opportunities if you truly and freely shed the things that are not working for you. As you release, think of the hot steamy space you are in as being somewhere where the new opportunities can take root and grow.
The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer symbolizes beliefs and ideas of division, struggle and being without. We feel the sorcerer casts a dark shadow over our lives, but in reality, the shadows are own. Those shadows are feelings of separation from loved one, colleagues, pets. Feelings of conflict and aggression to others in order to achieve our self-centred goals.
Our shadows may be narrow, broad, or generous in their focus. Either way, our busy mind loves to feed off the shadow energy and its negative feelings. The sorcerer, is asking you to look at these energies, examine how destructive they are. What are you feeling? Resentment, vengeance, lust, greed, bigotry, or hatred about or to whom or what. These feelings are unjustified and not your spiritual core which is pushed away without consideration.
The Sorcerer challenges you, confronts your dark thinking and beliefs. Now! Is a second chance! Start over. Be strong and be vigilant about the darkness you are beings asked to recognise, and then, to discard.
Others are not blame for what is inside of you, what you allow to be there. Take a moment to create a sense of peace and move in another direction and do not allow those negative thoughts and feelings to grow again. You are done with them and that way of living.
The Earthkeeper
We create our own worlds, materially and spiritually. We keep our homes clean, warm and pleasing to our souls and we remember that what we do in the outside world. An Earthkeeper is someone who when they are out for a walk-in nature, knows and agrees that they are responsible for all they see and hear and do. Earthkeepers take their litter home, and dispose of it properly, not by dumping it on the grass. The grass has no way of dealing with our litter.
The walk-in nature is just part of being an Earthkeeper. When you take care of your personal space and the greater open space of nature you have a responsibility to take care of your physical being because that is what allows your soul to grow and develop and experience.
Look inside yourself, see what eating and doing things that do not benefit you are doing to your body. Adding weight, losing strength and vitality, draining your energy. Smoking destroys your lungs and ability to inhale the air that surrounds you and all other living things.
A simple challenge is to change the start of your day. Begin the day by doing what you know to be good. Do not shake it off. Do what you know to be right for you, even if it takes some energy and effort. The rewards will be there waiting for you.
Lightning
Lightning, is a huge discharge of energy form the sky to the ground. On the ground it can damage and it can create. In a forest, it may destroy some trees as it hits the ground but if it creates a fire, it is a cleansing fire, consuming dead trees and undergrowth to make way for new trees and new plants and growing things in which animals can live and hunt and give birth to new generations.
Think of this card as being a message for what is inside of you. If you are full of old ideas and old habits that are tired and add nothing to your life than this card is sent to you to recognise that those things must go and the new energy from the Upper World is here to show you the benefits of new creative endeavours.
The Shaman energy of this card brings gifts and cleansing all at the same time, let the old go, and embrace the new. If you need to sit quietly to allow these things to happen, do so. It is time to accept that you must change, that things in your life must change. Prepare to move on as you accept what it is you are moving to. Not to do so will mean you miss the opportunity and will be destined to repeat past unhappiness until the next bolt of lightning arrives from the Upper World.

The Corn
Corn is sustenance, we eat the kernels and use the rest of the plant to build things and to make fire to warm our homes and cook the kernels. The stalks can be used for roofing and with the mud of Mother Gaia, make walls. Everything about Corn is abundant, it helps us and is tangible.
Corn is prosperity in the real, physical world. Corn also says there is more than enough to go around. Let go of thoughts and fears of scarcity and not having enough or that someone will steal your abundance. Understand that the universe will provide, but you must be in a relationship with it in order to receive. You will reap what you sow.
We work hard to plant new ideas, and we hope they will grow and give us goodness and abundance in the future. Even when things were difficult, you did not lose faith in what you have planted. You have kept going.
The corn takes time to grow and provide the abundance you are about to reap. It is time to be warry of shortcuts, things that seem to be too good or inner feelings of being entitled to a certain outcome.
Let go of insecurity, feelings or thoughts of there not being enough, or that someone else could take what is yours. You have all you need for success.
Remember, it is always darkest before the dawn but you continued on, planting and nurturing. Now the spirit of the Corn comes to honor this and show you how bountiful the harvest is.
Now is the time to reap the rewards of effort, and trust. Regardless of whether the rewards are financial or the kind of prosperity measured in quality rather than quantity. Now is the time to feel blessed but don’t forget to share your good fortune.
As we anticipate good fortune and abundance be careful! Do not try to rush the harvest of abundance. Get rich quick schemes and shortcuts will not help, they may damage the things you have planted.
The Council
In this card I see your guides. Whether you have connected with them or not, these souls, some call spirits, are with us through our physical lives, they love us unconditionally and they help us if we ask them to. But be clear. If you want to drive safely and free from accidents. You have to say that – verbally, or in your mind. When what you have asked for has been manifested, express your gratitude by saying “Thank you.”
They do not judge but you will know in some way if you have not done as well as you could have. Always use all of your abilities to the fullest.
Look around you, is there a message pointing to a lack of commitment and energy? Is the handwriting on the wall as they say. Or maybe it is the wall itself that is speaking out to you.
If you have not connected with your guides, now is the time to spend some quiet time and do that. Look at your feelings and your life in this moment, in the NOW. Are you being urged in one direction to start something, change something or end something?
In this moment, in the NOW, is the time to take the leap into the future without requiring life to assure you of success because there are no certain outcomes in life.
Because your guides are with you throughout your physical life, you are never alone, you are never truly abandoned. Concentrate on your connection with your guides and let the egoic voice that always betrays you recede into the background.
Pachamama
Pachamama is Mother Earth, Gaia. She loves everything on earth, all that is growing, plants, flowers, trees, grasses as well as stones, rocks and the water that flows over the earth. Pachamama loves all of mankind, in all its diversity and all of its ages
All that is living on this earth gives us and the animals the ability for our souls to experience a temporary, impermanent, and imperfect physical existence. Regardless of its imperfections, perfection can be an imperfection in itself, be grateful for it and every morning and every evening, spend a few minutes to express your gratitude for who you are and what you are.
A shaman connects with the spirits of the trees, flowers, stones, water and air as they seek information to heal someone, a tribe, or a community.
This week, eat carefully and balance your meals and what goes into them. As they say, a little of everything is good, too much of one thing is not. Be nourished by what you eat is the message. Take some time to be happy and light hearted, take pleasure in art or movies or music as this is an expression of your appreciation for the life you have. Be nourished by what you experience.
Show how much you enjoy the earth, and all living things by letting Pachamama witness you do something such as planting something, caring for plants and animals that might not otherwise have been cared for.

The Sun
The sun is the brightest card in the deck. It can be beautiful to gaze at during sunrise and sunset and it can be burningly hot at midday. As we move from the shortest day at the Winter Solstice, days start to grow longer and we expect warmth to envelope us.
In many traditions the Sun is seen as a masculine energy, on others, a feminine energy. Whichever tradition you follow, the energy is at full force, it is bright and relentless, like the sun on a summer’s day.
As the days grew longer, so do our hopes and plans for the spring, summer and fall. We anticipate and we enjoy seeing animals start to come out and be more active. Our passions and energy start to rise and we feel reenergized and reborn. Now is the time to enjoy the brighter days and the brighter things in your life.
The Covid pandemic has shuttered many of us in our homes, away from all that is happening in nature and with others. As Spring comes, and there is medical hope that we are coming to the end of the pandemic, the sun is calling us out into nature just as it brings the birds and animals out from where they have hidden for winter.
Brighter things in your life include the night, rest, relaxation and sleep. These are valuable and tend to be lost during the long dark evenings of winter. If you have been working hard, take a moment to rest up and enjoy the evenings and the joys that rest bring us.
The Time Master
Humanity perceives time as moving linearly, a straight line from birth to death. Even when we look at our watches, we see the hands moving around the face in a steady, even progression of minutes, hours and days. This linear view leads us to the feeling that there is not enough time. We are always referring to something that has a finite ending
In reality, time does not move in a linear path, when we are in the NOW, in the moment, we can see all of time, the past, present and future. In that moment, at any moment, you can see time in all its infinite potential, one vast and all-encompassing flow and then shrunken and finite. It all depends on perspective.
The Time Master asks you to think about how you perceive time and everything it represents. Will you break free from your limited cause-and-effect thinking. Will you move beyond linear illusion, and be able to welcome the cyclic quality of time?
If you can look beyond the linear view of time and take back your power, let go of the past so you can step fully into your life. In this moment you are all-powerful. Anything is possible now.
Sometimes it appears time is ebbing away from us, there Is not enough. You fear that as time runs away from you your plans hopes and desires will also elude you. But this is a perception of your mind. If you are fully part of NOW you will be able to release thoughts, emotions and failed dreams from the past so you are better able to see and expect the future.
It is in the NOW that the magic of time and your hopes and dreams reveal themselves. Relax and they will appear directly in front of you and nothing else. When you realize you have all the time in the world. You will never run out of it!
The Blade
The Blade is a cutting tool. It represents your mind, body, and spirit. Pointing upward, it summons the power of heaven to help you manifest. What is that you wish for? Be clear in your thoughts. It will cut cords attached to you that no longer serve you or are toxic in their effect on you. It is a thing of action. Use it now, use it with bets intention and not as a weapon Use it to heal those old relationships or places by letting them go.
The blade is sent to help you with your dreams which are grounded and stagnant. Blade can help you move forward because it frees you from things that do not mean anything to you. Do not use it in anger or bad intention. If you do, the karmic outcome will be worse than you had imagined. Always use the blade positively to help you move forward.

Flow
When we think of flow, we think of water flowing in streams and rivers, we think of the eb and flow of life in ourselves and in all living things around us. We even think of the flow of traffic when we are moving swiftly along the highway. We think of the flow of air as it moves clouds around the sky.
When we plan and strategize on how to reach our goals, we put a lot of things into motion. Sometimes we struggle, we fight to make things happen. As much as we want to manifest something now, right now! Yet, nothing happens. Understand that the universe has heard you, it is heard what you are trying to manifest and things are moving.
There is a certain cadence to life and all things we try and create, when Flow appears in the cards, it means it is time to be steady, to let the eb and flow of life move you and your plans forward. There is a time to strive and a time to rest, now is the time to rest.
If you continue to try pushing forward, life will become like a piece of string. String can be pulled behind your or beside you and it can be tried to something you want to be secured to but it cannot be pushed.
Whatever obstacle is in front of you right now, trust this is for the highest good. It is an opportunity to regroup and reconsider your choices, and you must trust that your intentions will take form in good time. Believe this time is a gift.
The Rainbow
The Rainbow includes all the colours of the 7 Chakras that exist in all living things.
The ephemeral rainbow is a representation of the bridge between this physical world and the worlds of spirits. The Shaman walks up the rainbow to the upper world of benevolent spirits to learn and experience the higher, Upper Realm. It is there he or she learns from the spirits so that they may help people and animals here in the Middle world.
The rainbow affirms that all is well and that you are in right relationship with Spirit.
The rainbow comes after a storm, when the bright warming sunlight pierces the still water laden atmosphere and shows all of its beauty. It is also a message to persevere, persevere in what you are doing. Remember that saying that it is darkest just before the dawn.
Do not give up hope; things are about to take a positive turn. Listen for the morning rooster that announces the coming of the dawn even while the night is still darkest.
Now is not the time to claim victory or let your guard down. Remember the story about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. No one has ever found it. This story tells you about illusion. Trust and only work with things that are tangible, there are no short cuts to good things that are coming to you.
The Beloved
We all have a soul mate on this world, someone who completes us. Like a piece of a jig saw, when a missing piece is found and put in place, it reveals more of the big picture that we are trying to complete.
To recognise our soul mate and the spirit in them that completes us, we first have to recognise it in ourselves. When we do that, we understand the love of ourselves and of them.
This energy is an invitation to learn and understand through love. Expand your spirit through union with another.
But be careful of romantic love, because this can be an illusion. When we “fall in love” we maybe projecting our hopes and dreams of love on another who is not our soul mate and does not fill the need we have to find that missing jig saw piece. If we fail to notice they are not a good fit for us but instead continue with the illusion be prepared to walk through the fire of strong emotions and sense of loss.

Buddhism first entered Mongolia during the Yuan Dynasty of the thirteenth and fourteenth century and was briefly established as a state religion. Mongolia itself was at a political and developmental standstill until the sixteenth century, after which the conversion of Altan Khan to Buddhism re-established itself. [1]
Yellow shamanism is the term used to designate a particular version of shamanism practiced in Mongolia and Siberia which incorporates rituals and traditions from Buddhism. Most Buddhists there belong to what is called the "Yellow sect" of Tibetan Buddhism, because the members wear yellow hats during services. There are also refences to Yellow Shamanism being linked to the Saffron coloured robes of Buddhist monks. The term also serves to distinguish this form of shamanism from those not influenced by Buddhism, according to their adherents, who are mostly "black shaman".[2]
During this time, Lamaists[3] divided shamans into two categories: Black and Yellow. “Black” shamans were those who kept the old shamanic traditions, and Yellow shaman.[4] [5] Yellow Shaman were those who are controlled by Buddhist Lamas, and practice shamanic rituals and traditions in conjunction with Tibetan Buddhism.
As far as Yellow Shamanism and Mongolia is concerned, there is an argument of whether the practice continues to exist. Mongolia was part of Communist Russia from 1924 until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. During this period, known as the Communist era, all religious activities, their practitioners, and adherents, regardless of form were persecuted. Iconography, manuscripts and places of worship were destroyed and practitioners often killed.
The same process of persecution and destruction was followed in Tibet by Communist China with the worst occurrences of destruction to monasteries and places of religious worship, persecution and killing of shamans and Buddhists took place under Mao Zedong during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
The melding of shamanism and Buddhism started in the thirteenth century and comes after the merging of shamanism and the indigenous Bon Religion of Tibet. Bon is an ancient religion, dating back 3,800 years. Bon and shamanism closely influenced each other over many thousands of years. The ending of animal sacrifice during Shaman rituals being attributed to Bon.
Bon traditions were absorbed into Tibetan Buddhism along with those of shamanism. Bon is still practiced today. In 1978, the Dalai Lama acknowledged Bon as the sixth principal spiritual Buddhist school of Tibet
This gives Tibetan Buddhism the unique characteristics it has today where astrology and divination are present and Buddhist Lamas will enter An Altered State of Consciousness in the same way a shaman does during healing ceremonies.
It is argued that Yellow Shamanism does not exist today due to a combination of persecution and absorption of its shamanistic traditions into Bon and ultimately Tibetan Buddhism.

The Corn
Corn is sustenance, we eat the kernels and use the rest of the plant to build things and to make fire to warm our homes and cook the kernels. Everything about Corn is abundant, it helps us and is tangible.
Corn is prosperity in the real, physical world. There is more than enough to go around.
We work hard to plant new ideas, and we hope they will grow and give us goodness and abundance in the future. Even when thigs are difficult, we have not lost faith in what we have planted. We have kept going.
Now is the time to reap the rewards of effort, and trust. Regardless of whether the rewards are financial or the kind of prosperity measured in quality rather than quantity. Now is the time to feel blessed but don’t forget to share your good fortune.
As we anticipate good fortune and abundance be careful! Do not try to rush the harvest of abundance. Get rich quick schemes and shortcuts will not help, they may damage the things you have planted.
Let go of thoughts and fears of scarcity and not having enough or that someone will steal your abundance. Understand that the universe will provide, but you must be in a relationship with it in order to receive. You will reap what you sow.

Humanity perceives time as moving linearly, a straight line from birth to death.

In that moment, at any moment, you can see time in all its infinite potential, one vast and all-encompassing flow and then shrunken and finite. It all depends on perspective.
The Time Master asks you to think about how you perceive time and everything it represents. Will you break free from your limited cause-and-effect thinking. Will you move beyond linear illusion, and be able to welcome the cyclic quality of time?
If you can look beyond the linear view of time and take back your power, let go of the past so you can step fully into your life. In this moment you are all-powerful. Anything is possible now.
Sometimes it appears time is ebbing away from us, there Is not enough. You fear that as time runs away from you your plans hoes and desires will also elude you. But this is a perception of your mind. If you are fully part of NOW you will be able to release thoughts, emotions and failed dreams from the past so you are better able to see and expect the future.
It is in the NOW that the magic of time and your hopes and dreams reveal themselves. Relax and they will appear directly in front of you and nothing else. When you realize you have all the time in the world. You will never run out of it!
Middle World
The shaman sees the Middle world, the physical world, this world. The shaman also sees the Upper world of benevolent spirits and knowledge. The shaman sees the Lower and Underworlds of malevolent spirts. Yet all worlds are a source of knowledge and learning.
The middle world is our realm, it is what we perceive as our day-to-day reality, and the playground of the living. It is the present moment, where everything is happening. When all is right in the middle world, we feel supported and happy, things go well. When they are not, we have to ask ourselves and a shaman to help bring them into balance and order.
This energy appears when it is right to start something or restart something that has stopped. Because this energy is so positive, now is not a time for hesitation. Seize the moment but to not be reckless or careless. Be purposeful and thoughtful as you move forward. The world is your playground, and what would require great effort at any other time can be accomplished with ease right now.
