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

Frog

Frog

Frog Rivet! Something in your life needs cleansing, and frog is here to help. Frog is traditionally associated with rain - that powerful force of Nature that can flood, nurture, heal, or drown. If Frog appears in your reading, you're being asked to examine what is stagnating in your life - then ask Frog to help you let it go. Need to cry? Jump in the shower and let Frog Medicine do its work.

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

Bear

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.

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

Lizard

Lizard

Are you dreaming a dream that's big enough? If Lizard has appeared before you today, the gauntlet has been thrown down, the challenge made. Stop hiding your light beneath a rock - be willing to be bigger than life, to dream bigger than your imagination, to throw caution to the wind, and aim for the target you've spent a lifetime avoiding.

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

Badger

Badger

Badger is a ferocious opponent, unwilling to back down over any issue. Unfortunately, this unwavering stance leads some Badgers to their demise. If Badger has dug into your reading, he is asking whether you are fighting the right fight. Is this issue the hill you're willing to die on, or are you fighting for no other reason than pure stubbornness? Think about it.

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

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.
