We have just passed a pretty powerful full moon in Taurus and I would wager to guess most of you felt at least something...I sure did. The last few months and weeks in particular have been shifting rapidly and I have been trying to piece it all together.Trying to see the threads that are unfolding. I have to say it all is very interesting..At the start of this blog,from the first posts I began with a theme around balance and moved in progression towards completing a cycle just in what seems I have brought in as writing.I wrote about coming into balance and have felt this theme as on going this year both on a personal level and as a witness to world events and in my recent experiences. The patriarchy of the world is shifting.. We are on the edge of change but balance is needed as we do not want to push it too far the other way .Thus creating a new kind of imbalance which ultimately will evolve into a opposite aspect of the same pattern.This is a delicate thing which also makes my experiences more interesting. The Animal kingdom often shows up for me and lately they have had an awful lot to say. I was having coffee with a friend for reason of which is it's own blog but on that day while we visited her horses we both felt a lot going on energetically coming into this full moon and both felt energy of cycles,death/rebirth and more.. during that time 2 of her cows had freed themselves and went on a little walk about and we put one back only a while later the second had come out along with the first one..I felt there may be something in that. We then saw 3 deer,later hearing crow and seeing a raven,keeper of the council and magic respectively as though in support of things.The Animal kingdom seemed intent on getting some attention. I later looked up cow out of curiosity as I knew they represented abundance but they also represent they symbolize wealth, prosperity,fertility and spiritual connection to all of creation and creation through consistency, Motherhood,healing the mother/child relationships in particular but also all relationships including our relationship to ourselves and the Earth,unconditional love and are a strong yin energy. Symbol of divine feminine energy and power,death and rebirth- -Artist Janet Hilty 3 deer..well deer I know is all about gentleness.Deer medicine can transmute darkness by doing so gently and softly.Deer is a master of being both strong and soft .As is Cow and our next surprise guest.Deer teaches trusting intuition and our connection to all things,deer teaches us how to move through obstacles with ease and grace.she teaches us to adapt quickly and to be in touch with the mysteries of life.She teaches to live from the heart.She is also a strong symbol of the divine feminine and brings healing through great compassion.There are some stories I know of Deer defeating darkness with gentleness and compassion. Another spirit I have to say I am very much surprised to connect to at all and yet she is the most fascinating of the 3 ..the stories of her spirit lessons and symbolism and numerous and expansive all over the earth in every culture..and yet we often fear her.Spinner of the web of creation.Representing creation itself ...So I have to confess I made friend with a Spider. She is a female Cat faced Orb weaver Spider ..quite large and rather intimidating to look at but harmless and unlikely to bother you.So I let her stay and she has spun a web in my bathroom light of all places.I call her Indra after Indra's web or Indra's net of jewels,or web of creation. I have been thinking about her and wondering about her so I researched Spider medicine and see what a neat thing for her to be here. She showed up this summer but I did not think too much on it until now since we usually have a few kicking around outside and by a few I mean a lot. This one seems to want me to pay attention though so I am doing my best to listen.Spiders Medicines also represents infinity ,The limitless .Spiders build what is equally practical and beautiful,they have 8 eyes,8 legs and represent cycles,the passage of time evolution and the 8 fold path/the middle way, yin and yang,symmetry and perfect balance,death and rebirth and the completion of the circle. The web is also a sacred spiral. Spider teaches Conscious choice.That every choice we make now is weaving what we do in the future.She is keeper of the written word and language and is often guide to magical,inspiring writing and creativity.Spider teaches us to be sensitive to our environment and align ourselves with the rhythm of nature 3 of the Animal kingdom representing 3 strong feminine energies,3 symbolizing life and rebirth,cycles and power of creation..powerfully divine feminine ..things that make you go hmmmmm.. This all spoke a lot to me about the current world and what we will all do right now to contribute to the tapestry of creation. I am currently practicing being witness to life without always wanting to fix or change or help..giving up the ideas of perfection and not trying to push the river..simply to be,just witnessing things as they happen and see where things flow,letting go of judgements as best I can and taking inspired action when it required but otherwise allowing the flow of life to carry me.Letting things play out ..doing without doing. It may not always be easy and most certainly not what we expect or even what we think we want.We may suffer but it is not without rhyme or reason as we often feel.When I see what I have passed through I still see purpose in it all even though it was hard.At the completion of the cycles balance can be achieved. Balance can come at anytime but when we complete a cycle we are really embodying the lessons of that cycle through life experiences and the passage of time,simply by being a part of that experience. making it all a part of who we are.Really integrating the cycle. And as this theme of coming into balance plays out through the last portion of 2018 and coming into 2019 the year of the pig..also representing prosperity It is with a curious heart of an explorer and observation and stillness and yin energy of the divine feminine that has shown up for me that I will witness the remainder of this year.it is my guess as good as any ones right now what is going on but I feel something and I am willing to witness it and see what happens.
