Center: The animal spirit that appears in the center of the Medicine Wheel reflects who you are at this point in time.

Bat

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.

North: The animal that appears in the North shows you how to walk your talk. Here lies your connection with your Higher Self.

Owl

Owl

Many cultures associate Owl with death, while others see Owl as the "night eagle" - the bird that embodies shamanism. Owl has exceptional hearing, and his medicine is one of clairaudience - the ability to hear spirit. If Owl has silently glided into your life today, he is asking you to face your own fears, and listen to the messages spirit is sending you.

East: This animal reveals the direction you need to take in order to gain clarity about your present situation.

Cardinal

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.

South: This animal explores issues dealing with your inner child, and shows the energy needed to trust your own process.

Dove

Dove

Are you going through life carrying old grief, pain or hate? If so, Dove (sometimes known as Mourning Dove) encourages you to let go of your emotional baggage so that true healing can take place. It's time to forgive, release, and move forward. And, know that healing Dove is flying right beside you.

West: The animal that appears in the West holds the answer to your present challenge.

Blue Jay

Blue Jay

Blue Jay encourages you to be a little sassy today! If there's something you've been wanting, ask for it. If there's an issue that needs confrontation, don't sweep it under the rug or Blue Jay will drag it back out into the open. One word of caution, though - Blue Jays will eat the young of other birds - so be direct, but not destructive.
