Coyote
Taking yourself too seriously? If you are, Coyote will throw a banana peel in your tracks just to see you take a silly spill. Coyote medicine is Trickster medicine - the practical joker, the chaos maker. If Coyote appeared in your reading today, be ready for a curveball thrown in your direction. Remember, though, Coyote uses the bizarre to help us learn lessons we just can't seem to get any other way.
June
Cardinal
Wake up! Cardinal is chirping at you - bringing a message of personal power. Stop shrinking from your destiny. Stop pretending that you are less than. If you are unsure of your path, ask Cardinal to fly with you - 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.
July
Buffalo
Buffalo has come snorting into your life today to bring a message of great hope. Buffalo sacrificed every part of his physical body to support those who hunted him - but he also gave his spirit. And, it's that spirit of hope, abundance, and a bright future that he brings to you today. If you are experiencing a troubled journey, help is here.
August
Bat
Bat's internal radar is exceptionally attuned - is yours? Because Bat medicine is the medicine of transformation, he is asking you to re-examine your life to determine (using all of your senses) what is worth keeping and what needs to be discarded. For every death there is a rebirth and Bat is here to help you decide what goes and what stays.
September
Squirrel
Hoard, hoard, hoard! Squirrel has been a busy fellow, gathering food for the long winter ahead - and he advises you to do the same. Have you set enough money aside to get you through lean times, or do you squander what you earn? We all love a shopping spree, but if Squirrel scurries into your reading, he's cautioning you to spend a little, but also save a little.
October
Mockingbird
Mockingbirds are master imitators, and can mimic the calls of many other birds. They're also fearless protectors of their nest, and will attack any bird (no matter how large) to protect their young. Mockingbird's lesson for you today is twofold: to listen to how you might be mimicking others - instead of listening to your own true voice; and to examine the value of what you defend. Hmmm?
November
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?
December
Polar Bear
Has Polar Bear lumbered into your reading? If so, he's reminding you of the value of being flexible. Polar Bear instinctively knows how to conserve his energy and will observe a situation before he takes action. Once he decide it's the appropriate time to move forward, however, he has the strength, energy, and fortitude to face whatever dangers lie ahead. Having problems making a change? Polar Bear is here to help, and his message to you is: Take heart, have courage, build your strength, then MOVE!
January
Raccoon
This masked bandit can make you laugh with his antics, or make you angry when you realize he's made off with your food! Raccoon is incredibly curious - to the point that he'll walk into a potentially dangerous situation just to see what's up. Like Raccoon, are there situations you're barging into before you have all the information? Might want to re-think this one.
February
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.
March
Sasquatch
Is Big Foot real or a hoax? It doesn't really matter, because he has ambled into your reading to remind you of life's mysteries. Not everything can be explained, not everything can be touched - but that doesn't mean it don't exist. Suspend your logic for a bit, and be open to the mystery.
April
Wolf
Wolf can survive either as a loner or as part of a pack, and he howls to remind you that you have to balance the needs of others with the needs of the self. If you're giving yourself away to your own detriment, you are living in opposition to Wolf medicine. Return to balance - and begin feeding your emotions, your mind, and your body.
