Healing Journeys

Leadership Mountain Lion can be a very difficult power totem for you to have, because it places you in a position to be a target for the problems of others. You could be blamed for things going wrong, or for always taking charge when others cannot. You could become the perfect justification for the insecurities of others. Mountain Lion medicine involves lessons on the use of power in leadership. It is the ability to lead without insisting that others follow. It is the unders

Generous Protector Raccoon carries the medicine of the protector of the underdog and provider for the young, infirm, and elderly. Often called "little bandit" by southern tribes, this Robin Hood of the animal kingdom teaches us about generosity and caring for others. When Raccoon comes your way, you are being asked to contact your inner warrior, to become a protector and generous provider for those in need. Raccoon medicine people have the uncanny ability to assist others wit

Trickster There are thousands of myths and stories about Coyote, the great trickster. Many Native cultures call Coyote the "Medicine Dog." You can be sure that some kind of medicine is on its way - and it may or may not be to your liking. Whatever the medicine is, good or bad, you can be sure it will make you laugh, maybe even painfully. You can be sure that Coyote will teach you a lesson about yourself. Coyote has many magical powers, but they do not always work in his favo

Action When time was just beginning and the "Tribe of Man" was small, Antelope saw that the two-leggeds were naked, hungry, and in danger of extinction. The Ancestors would soon vanish from Mother Earth if action were not taken. Antelope took action and came into the camp, calling all the two-leggeds together for Council. "Great Mystery sent me to teach you a lesson. The lesson is to do. You have no need to be fearful if you know what to do and then you do it," Antelope sai

Integration The powerful gift of Alligator medicine is to fully appreciate and integrate all that life offers. Gator shows us the value of thoroughly digesting both the pleasures and pains of life. In many ways, Alligator's medicine is reflected in its behavior. When a Gator rolls under water with its prey, its message is to roll with the punches when being attacked by life's circumstances. Carefully storing its prey under a log until the meat is tender teaches us about pati

Not so long ago I had a vision. A vision of a community supported by its leader. To understand what I saw you first have to understand how I saw the world around me. Now this is not meant to be a political post by any means I am neither Democrat nor Republican I am somewhere in between. So what did I see around me? I saw the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer. I saw those in power over the people use their power to serve their own agendas. I saw those in power a

Have you ever noticed that when tragedy strikes it seems like it came out of nowhere? People are always surprised and state that they didn't see it coming, that there were no warning signs. The divine truth of it is always a very different story. As I have stated previously manifesting anything into the physical world has to go through 4 stages or the 4 directions: East, West, North and South. Everything begins in the East...everything. Sometimes the signs are given through t

I saw the bridge forward in this moment. Spirit said to me "Now all support you spiritually." Let me tell you a story. The date was January 31, 2022 I awoke after a vision of my mother's death. I made note of it knowing that it would become manifest after I had the vision for a third time and this was the first. On January 31, 2023 again I awoke after a vision of my mother's death this was the second and I noticed that each time I had the vision so far it was on the same day.

Teacher Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. Wolf takes one mate for life and is loyal like Dog. If you were to keep company with Wolves, you would find an enormous sense of family within the pack, as well as a strong individualistic urge. These qualities make Wolf very much like the human race. As humans we also have an ability to be part of society and yet still embody our individual dreams and ideas. In

I've learned I can say things all I want however that doesn't mean anyone is going to listen. The things I say have been said by others before me for a millennia without anyone listening, why should anything change now? Hint... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. So let's talk Father's Love and free will. I feel like the biggest hurdle to people listening to what has been said for a millennia is that they b

Transmutation Serpent medicine people are very rare. Their initiation involves experiencing and living through multiple snake bites, which allows them to transmute all poisons, be they mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional. The power of Serpent medicine is the power of creation, for it embodies sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction, and ascension (or immortality). The transmutation of the life-death-rebirth cycle is exemplified by the shedding of Serpent's ski

Secrets It is said that if you want to find out a secret, ask Lynx medicine. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get the silent Lynx to speak. To be confronted by the powerful medicine of Lynx signifies that you do not know something about yourself or others. Lynx is the keeper of the secrets of lost magical systems and occult knowledge. Lynx has the ability to move through time and space, and to go into the Great Silence for unraveling any mystery. Lynx is not the guardian

Mother Earth In Native American teachings, the Turtle is the oldest symbol for planet Earth. It is the personification of Goddess energy, and the eternal Mother from which our lives evolve. We are born of the womb of Earth, and to her soil our bodies will return. In honoring the Earth, we are asked by Turtle to be mindful of the cycle of give and take, to give back to the Mother as she has given to us. Turtle has a shell which is similar to the protection that Earth has empl

Deception Owl medicine is symbolically associated with clairvoyance, astral projection, and magic, both black and white. Owl is called Night Eagle on several medicine wheels used by Amerindian teachers. Traditionally, Owl sits in the East, the place of illumination. Since time immemorial, humanity has been afraid of the night, the dark, and the unseen - waiting fearfully for the first crack of morning light. Conversely, night is Owl’s friend. Owls hunt their prey at night.

Boundaries Armadillo wears its armor on its back, its medicine a part of its body. Its boundaries of safety are a part of its total being. Armadillo can roll into a ball and never be penetrated by enemies. What a gift it is to set your boundaries so that harmful words or intentions just roll off. Your lesson is in setting up what you are willing to experience. If you do not wish to experience feeling invaded, just call on Armadillo medicine. A clue to how to proceed is to m

Spirit Eagle medicine is the power of the Great Spirit, the connection to the Divine. It is the ability to live in the realm of Spirit, and yet remain connected and balanced within the realm of Earth. Eagle soars, and is quick to observe expansiveness within the overall pattern of life. From the heights of the clouds, Eagle is close to the heavens where the Great Spirit dwells. The feathers of Eagle are considered to be the most sacred of healing tools. They have been used f

Human beings have long been drawn to the metaphysical, a realm beyond the physical world that touches on the spiritual, the unknown, and the mysterious. This attraction is often paired with a deep-seated fear. Why do people feel both curiosity and dread when faced with concepts that defy ordinary understanding? This post explores the complex relationship between fascination and fear in our engagement with the metaphysical. An ancient stone altar shrouded in mist, evoking myst

Gentleness One day Fawn heard the Great Spirit calling to her from the top of Sacred Mountain. Fawn immediately started up the trail. She didn't know that a horrible demon guarded the way to the Great Spirit's lodge. The demon was trying to keep all beings of creation from connecting with the Great Spirit. He wanted all of the Great Spirit's creatures to feel that the Great Spirit didn't want to be disturbed. This would make the demon feel powerful, and capable of causing the

A spiritual healer's function is to heal an individual using "non-physical" methods to heal the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies creating wholeness. We must be careful when describing a spiritual healer as someone who simply utilizes non-physical methods because one might be lead to think that someone such as a Reiki Practitioner, or psychologist is a spiritual healer because they utilize non-physical means in their work however their work does not include sp

Fear A long time ago - no one really knows how long ago it was - Rabbit was a brave and fearless warrior. Rabbit was befriended by Eye Walker, a witch. The witch and Rabbit spent much time together sharing and talking. The two were very close. One day Eye Walker and Rabbit were walking along and they sat down on the trail to rest. Rabbit said, "I'm thirsty." Eye Walker picked up a leaf, blew on it, and then handed Rabbit a gourd of water. Rabbit drank the water but didn't sa
