Medicine Cards and Spiritual Healing
Welcome back!
Snakes
I thought I’d share something a bit different with you today. I have a book and a set of medicine cards that follow the American Indian form of spirituality. Every once in a while (it’d been over a year since the last time) I dust them off the shelf and take a new look at their sense of my life.
I shuffled the cards vigorously. You never want the same old stuff, right? And then I chose one of the patterns of laying them out and proceeded to consult the book for the meanings. OMG! I cannot remember when a reading like this has been so poignant - so meaningful to me.
One of the main cards was The Snake. Now please understand that on a spiritual dating site just before this reading, I’d been asked for several zodiac features, one of them being my Chinese astrological sign. I don’t know that kind of info, so I had to look it up. I was born in The Year of The Snake. So when this snake card turned up, well, I was all attention! In the animal cards, this card was about my future and here’s what it said.
Transmutation - my ability to change. What do I fear changing? See the magician within. The old is non-productive. Release the outer skin of my old identity. Move through the dreamlike illusion that has insisted on static continuity and find my new rhythm like a river winding to the sea. I’m immersed in water and my one single drop is accepted by the whole. Dance freely incorporating this transmuting process of consciousness as part of my sensual dance of power.
I was blown away by this. It’s so appropriate for my life right now. I thought you’d enjoy reading about it.
Love ya,
Pat
