Panther
Panther medicine is the medicine of silence. Panther can stalk its prey in absolute silence - one of the reasons native tribes associate him with the spirit world - particularly the night. Panther can show you how to face the Shadow within and bring it out into the Light. Panther is powerful medicine - and the fact that you choose him says much about your willingness to face the unknown.
Matters Concerning Your Home (The Moon Card)
Green Man
Green Man peers out of the foliage to remind you that not all of life's mysteries have logical solutions. Be open to magical opportunities, spirit allies, and unconventional paths. Get out into the wilderness, ground yourself in meditation, and listen for Green Man's wisdom. You may just catch sight of him eyeing you in his leafy camouflage.
Matters Concerning Business, Skills and Integrity (The Card of Mercury)
Otter
Otter represents one of the most playful feminine energies on earth - and she has swum over into your reading to bring a message of joyful play. If life has been difficult or challenges overwhelming, relax a little - Otter is here to remind you that play is just as important as work - and NOT competitive play, but rather the kind you loved as a child. Hopscotch anyone?
Matters Concerning Love (The Card of Venus)
Turkey
Has turkey gobbled his way into your life today? If so he brings a message of sacrificing for the greater good. To some indigenous tribes, Turkey represents the spirit of the giveaway - a ceremony where those who have more give to those who have less, thus "sacrificing" for others. If Turkey helps you feel the spirit of giving, who can you help?
Matters Concerning Hostility, Opposition and Aggression (The Card of Mars)
Loon
Loons mate for life, and their medicine is about loyalty, family, and deep caring for one another. If you're experiencing a relationship fraught with power struggles, you are NOT practicing Loon medicine. If your relationship has BECOME a power struggle, Loon has appeared to remind you that this is a time of equal sharing and equal happiness. Something is amiss and Loon thinks you already know what it is.
Matters of Finance, Acquisition and Wealth (The Card of Jupiter)
Spider
Spider represents a connection between past and future, to remind you that the web you weave today is the web you will inhabit tomorrow. Are you spinning a balanced future? Spider is also a creator, spinning stories just as easily as she does a web. Spider in your reading asks you to consider the future you are weaving - does it include your biggest dreams?
Matters of the Intellect (The Card of Saturn)
Armadillo
You'll never get too close to Armadillo as his hard shell will keep you at arm's length! And, if this roly-poly fellow is in your reading, he's asking YOU to examine the areas where you need a hard shell - boundaries! Do you "do" for everyone but never "do" for yourself? Or, are you being TOO sensitive, protecting yourself even when danger isn't present?
The Outcome
Bear
Bear represents a time of reflection and stillness - a time of entering the inner cave of Self to contemplate life's challenges. Bear often appears during times of confusion and unrest - those unsettling moments when you turn to everyone you know for answers - everyone except yourself. Go within, ask the hard questions - then listen.
