Animal Spirit Reading...

As always, the Animal Spirits simply reaffirm the message I was trying to relay with the "Morning Devotion" post.
By reaffirming your dedication to the Goddess and the Path, you focus your day on the positive.  It's amazing how the normal stresses of your daily workload are alleviated by remembering who you are.

Wake up! Cardinal is chirping at you.  He brings a message of personal power.  Stop shrinking from your destiny.  Stop pretending that you are less than. Cardinal medicine can teach you how to manifest dreams and ideas by focusing intention where it's needed.  If you're unsure of your path, ask Cardinal to fly with you.  He will help you to understand and find your own song in life.  Are you doing what needs to be done or should be done?  Are you voicing your ideas?  When you listen to Cardinal's lessons, it’s certain he will help you focus, gain clarity, formulate a plan, become self-assured, and step out into the world with the confidence befitting a person of your power.

Today's Animal Spirit...Antelope

They can be swift as lightning, practically flying across the plains or they can be still as stone.  Antelope medicine teaches us strength and courage, along with adaptability.  Are you moving too quickly to see rare opportunities or are you standing still when you should be moving forward?  With their strong senses of sight and smell, Antelope can help us become more aware of opportunities and show us how to overcome any obstacles swiftly and gently.  If your own energy harmonizes with Antelope's, you have heightened psychic ability and may need to insulate yourself at times.  Heed your own instincts to know when the time is right to move.

Today's Animal Spirit...

So...I asked the Animal Spirits to give me a general reading about my book that's going to be published, "Awakening the Witch."  I couldn't be happier with their response.
Hummingbird's message is quite simply that of absolute joy.  Hummingbird medicine shows us how to accomplish what seems impossible and how to bring the miracle of joy back into our lives. Their gentle spirits remind us to live in vivid color and to do so dynamically.  Hummingbird tells us to find the happiness in all things.

Phew!  Everyone knows Skunk's power...that's why people (and other animals) get out of his way! If you're lacking self-esteem, Skunk is there to help.  You are worthy of a happy life...and if someone is making you miserable, look to Skunk as a confidence builder.  Skunk medicine is about accepting who you are and learning to express your truths without regret or embarrassment.  Remember, though, Skunk doesn't have to spray to be powerful...his reputation precedes him!  And, like Skunk, you don't need to spray either...but you do need to stand your ground calmly, and with Skunk's confidence.  Skunk teaches us to defend ourselves effectively without causing further conflict.
Skunk is also very good at calming small children, so call him the next time you're dealing with fussy little ones.

Playful Seal wobbles into our reading today, coincidentally a day of relaxation for most.  He's barking at us, telling us to get rid of that silly self-consciousness we hang on to all week.
It's time to let go of the self-restraint, let your hair down, go wild!  Apparently, our inner children need some attention.  lol

Seal's medicine is all about playfulness, but more importantly, creative expression.  The message here is one of absolute release.  Forget all those thoughts of whether you see yourself as creative, and just let go.  Whether it's dancing around the living room, singing at the top of your lungs, painting, drawing, writing or any other path...go with it.  Let it out!
The need to be creative is expressed within all of us, in one way or another.  So, just for today...surrender to that imaginative impulse, feel it in all its depth and many dimensions, and then throw yourself into it.  And if you happen to have a playmate, by all means, engage them as well.  Here's to stepping outside of the box!  Cheers!

Today appears to be a day of scrambling.  I think of the poor office personnel running about trying to tie up loose ends for the weekend, so they can start fresh on Monday.  Or the poor mother trying to prepare for the weekend trip to see the grandparents...laundry, laundry, laundry.  lol  Well, the animal spirits have some wisdom to share that may very well prove valuable to you today.
Monkey came to me this morning chattering about adaptability, cleverness and dexterity.  I told him I totally appreciated the Master Multitasker that he is.

The medicine that monkey offers is quick anticipation as you move through the jungle.  Somehow, he always knows which branch or vine to grab hold of as he flies swiftly through the trees covering great distances within minutes.  It's pretty amazing, huh?
No matter where you find yourself today, you have to be able to adjust to your circumstances, take it all in, and come up with creative solutions or ideas and act on them.  Whatever you do, you can't get rigid once you've chosen a direction.  New factors are going to be constantly coming into play, so you will need to adjust your course of action again.  Sounds kind of tough, I know.  Don't get discouraged.  We all have an innate ability to move through life seamlessly, even if we're not aware of it.
Once your day is done, you will be able to look back and see that every action and reaction was timely and purposeful.
In addition, Monkey is said to be able to converse with nature spirits, faeries and magickal folk.  The message here is to communicate wisely.  Ask lots of questions.  New information may give you the slight change in your course of action necessary to bring you to the perfect choices.

Today's Message from the Animal Spirits...

Fox medicine represents the ability to blend in. She can change colors to blend with the seasons—becoming almost invisible against a backdrop of snow or foliage. Fox also has an amazing sense of smell that enables her to sniff out dangerous situations. Be like a Fox—street smart and safety savvy—don't call attention to yourself as today is a day of watch and wait.

All Blessings Be. )O(
