SOUTH SHIELD

CARD NAME: SOUTH SHIELD


REPRESENTS: INNOCENCE / INNER CHILD


APPLICATION:

The South Shield card marks a time of returning to the child.-like parts of Self that need no support from the ego. Look at how you can be humble in the present situation. Balance work with play and sacredness with irreverence. In other words, you’ll need to lighten up and drop the uptight parts of Self before you can continue.


This may be a time to get some physical exercise to loosen up tight muscles or laugh to loosen up your sophisticated garbage. Stop holding on so tight and remember how to trust. How can you trust anything or anyone when the image in the mirror is not really you?


In all cases, the South Shield card insists that the child within is trying to teach you something about how to handle the situation. Listening and trusting the little tike might restore some of the lost magic of life. Remember, playfulness heals a world of woes. The more serious you take the game, the less chance any of us have of winning.


MEDITATION:
Red Earth, South Shield,
Child filled with wonder,
Teach me to yield.
Laughter is your Give-Away,
In innocence and joy,
Taking me into the place,
Of little girls and boys.

SWEAT LODGE

CARD NAME: SWEAT LODGE

REPRESENTS: PURIFICATION

APPLICATION:

The Sweat Lodge card speaks of a need for purifying some aspect of your life. This cleansing can be gentle and healing if you are willing to approach it in a scared manner.

Whether the purification is of body, mind, emotions, attitudes, or spirit is for you to decide. The constant rule of the Sweat Lodge card is that humility and purification always make way for new life-force to enter. Remember that once the “rust” is removed. You may shine in your own right.

Fire of purification,

Steam from sacred stones,

Prayer ties and tobacco.

Meld with spirit songs.

CORAL

CARD NAME: CORAL

           

REPRESENTS: NURTURING

APPLICATION:

If Coral has appeared in your cards today, you are being asked to look at the idea of nurturing. It may be time to nurture yourself or another. If you refuse to be nurtured it may be time to drop that superhuman attitude before you get sick. Coral tells us that our bodies have needs too. Pay attention and be good to your body.

Coral also speaks of the Planetary Family. If you feel lonely or alone, it may be time to have a reunion with the other creatures that share the Earth with you. Listen to all Our Relations and cut the “I’m the only one” refrain out of your thoughts.

Coral always tells us to listen to our feelings. If you have been ignoring how you feel around certain people or how your body feels, Coral is insisting that you reconnect to those feeling. Remember: to feel is to heal.

MEDITATION:

Red Coral please remind me of the blood of all my kin.

Each of us has feelings

That reflects the joy within.

May I nurture my own needs

Then learn to share in turn,

The love that is my essence

The heart that in me burns.

CARD NAME: SHAMAN’S DEATH

REPRESENTS: DEATH AND REBIRTH

APPLICATION:

In choosing the Shaman’s Death card, you are being put on notice that a death cycle or ending is in progress. Before the rebirth can occur, the habit, attitude, relationship, or part of Self that is dying must be looked at. Assist the process by continuously allowing the old to be removed. Let go and then make way for the new cycle of life to take hold.

Remember that you are creating fertile ground for new adventures when you are willing to let your old identities die. The rebirth cycle is always full of promise and growth when you allow the old patterns to die with dignity.

MEDITATION:

Grandfather,

I do ask for death,

For the parts of me,

That will not hear

Or speak the truth,

Which are too blind to see.

Give me birth again,

With love as my guide,

Truth and beauty as my path,

With nothing left to hide.

GREAT SMOKING MIRROR

CARD NAME: GREAT SMOKING MIRROR

REPRESENTS: REFLECTIONS APPLICATION:
The Great Smoking Mirror reflects the lesson of leaving the myth behind. You are what you decide you are. Remove the smoke screen that hides your natural talents or worth, and stand tall. Recognize the areas to be developed further and begin that process. Stop cowering before your potential and live your truth. There are millions of role models to choose from.

On another level you are being asked to be a good reflection for others. Encourage others to be bold through Walking Your Talk. The reflections you see in others may not make you happy if you are doubting your self and your right to be. Jealousy on any level only inhibits growth and wastes energy. Shatter the mirrors that insist on self-importance, gloom, or failure so you can get down to what’s really important.

On all levels the Smoking Mirror asks us to accept light and shadow as equal. The reflections we dislike can be worthy opponents who teach us to grow into our potential. Even our shadow sides serve us by leading us through trial and error to the true image of Self.

MEDITATION:
Through the smoke
I see looking back
Another reflection of me.

Mirror of my inner-self
Who are you
If I am me?

Mirror of my outer-self
What do others see?
Is it the truth in my heart
Or human vanity?

Have a blessed and wonderful day...until tomorrow
