Amulet Readings by NanLT

Eyes – all seeing, inner visions

Cow – partnerships

Sprouting Seeds – new start

Whirlwinds – change unseen

Owl – seeing in darkness

The Eyes are showing you new insights into a relationship. Your perception of your relationships with others is going to change. Avoid compulsive actions at the moment. Make sure what you are seeing is really there.

The Cow indicates partnership. This would indicate to me that your new insights are in regards to someone you have a closer relationship or a partnership with.

The Sprouting Seeds indicate that you are in a new and very tender situation at the moment, and need to work carefully. Remove that which isn’t needed, the weeds, but be careful not to lose the plant as well.

The Whirlwinds are telling you to trust what you cannot yet see. Detach yourself from the storms around you, and find the calm in your center-being.

The Owl provides wisdom in the darkness. She will guide you when you cannot see. Listen and watch, with your ears, your eyes and with your heart. Trust your intuition. Again, you are being cautioned to move slowly and carefully consider your actions and words. This isn’t a time for rash or compulsive reactions. It’s a time to consider carefully and trust through the stillness.

Council of Elders providing guidance

Primal Mother and Child – Infinite Love
Whirlwinds – Trust the invisible
Dancing Bird Goddess – Ecstasy
Sheela-Na-Gig -  Choices
Triple Spiral – Barriers, Boundaries, Possibilities

You spend so much time and energy nurturing others. It’s time to accept some nurturing for yourself. Let the Mother Goddess hold you in Her arms and accept her loving embrace.

There are changes coming which cannot be seen yet. The Whirlwind Amulets are telling you to trust in the Universe. Trust the invisible.

Dancing Bird Goddess says that you have done a lot of soul-searching and have been on a hard journey lately, but you will gain the rewards for this work.  Right now, passions are raised and energy levels are high. You are going through a time of transformation, and you will come out the other side reborn, like the Phoenix from the ashes.

Sheela-na-Gig indicates you have some choices to make. These do not have to be made rashly. It’s okay to look at each decision, each choice. Take it out and examine it from all angles.  Only then, when you are fully ready, does a decision have to be made. Once made, honour those choices. Each one you have made has brought you to where you are now in your life.

Finally, you have the Triple Spiral. This amulet always indicates to me that you have an area in your life which you need to look at more closely. It also indicates there are some difficult decisions which need to be made by you.

Barriers, Boundaries, Possibilities
Divide a sheet of paper into 3 columns.  At the head of the first column, write Naming Barriers. At the head of the second column, write Healthy Boundaries. At the head of the third column, write Creating Possibilities.
Under the first column, write a list of the obstacles which are facing you. Which can you change? Which can you not change? How would you change them? Who are the people involved? What would you want to say to them?
Under the second column, write out what your limits and boundaries are in difficult situations. Where are you saying “Yes” when you want to say “no” or vice versa? What situations are happening around you that cause you to feel uncomfortable? What are your boundaries there? What will you accept and what will you no longer tolerate?
Under the third column, think about the ways you would do things differently in your own life. Look at the way you want to be, not the way you think you should be. Have you been living someone else’s life instead of your own? What would you change and how would you live differently?

As you face these choices and these changes, remember that Mother Goddess is always there to hold you in Her loving embrace. And Trust the Invisible.

Council of Elders

To ensure anonymity I will be referring to the readings by number. The individual requesting the reading will be notified privately of their number.

Tonight, I will share with you Reading 1.

Night star – wish fulfilment

Eyes – seeing what is there

Cow – partnerships, relationships

Sprouting seed – new situations just coming up

Temple – balance,  a new opportunity, a new life path

The Nightstar is telling you to make your wishes, whether through prayer or meditation or wishing upon a star. The energies of the Universe are available to you now. Use them.

The Eyes come next to tell you in part to be careful what it is you wish for. Remember the adage: Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Open your eyes to see what is there and what isn’t there. Live in stillness for a short while, just watching doing nothing.  Focus on your intent, know what it is you truly want, then make your wish.

Third of the Goddess Amulets is The Cow.  Sometimes this can indicate a business partnership, but I sense this is more personal,  a spouse or partner.  She is here to remind you that your wish is not being made alone. You need to involve your partner in the wish-making process. It is not your wish individually; it belongs to both of you.

Sprouting Seeds come now to tell you that while you may not be aware of it, the seeds of this wish have already been put into the ground. While you may not be able to see them, they are just beginning to sprout and manifest changes in your life leading you to the wish you will be making.

Finally, The Temple is here to tell you that a new opportunity and a new life path will be presenting itself to you. You have gone through a major time of healing and you are ready to move through the doorway onto a new path.

I don’t get a sense on where this will be leading you, but I do think this will be a major change in your life direction from where you had been heading.

Ecstasy

Ecstasy

Images with this anthropomorphic blending of human and bird have been found from the early Paleolithic period through to modern cultures. Many can be found as well holding a snake. This image in particular was taken from a 3,000 year old Minoan seal.

Ecstasy is an experience of wholeness and oneness with all. It is a disconnection from daily, routine activities in order to receive information from a divine source.

It is very often a shamanic state which includes a “flight” to the spirit world. This can be triggered by drumming, dancing, fever, chanting, drugs, and near-death experiences.

When the Dancing Bird Goddess appears in a reading, it is a reminder that your soul-searching and arduous life will bring a reward. This will not be easy. Your daily identity may be cracking and falling away, allowing your true self to push to the surface. As you surrender to these changes, your true self will be revealed like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.

Look at what is changing in your life right now. What do you envision being born from this shamanic healing experience? If you need guidance, look to your animal and spirit guides for help. You can channel these powerful energies in healthy healing ways.

Transforming Anger; Reclaiming Power

The most recognised Gordon is the Greek Medusa, slain by Perseus. She was the frightful hag with snakes for hair who could turn men to stone with a look. Aspects of Her can also be seen in the Hindu Kali.

This particular image is of a Gorgon mask found at the Temple of Artemis on Corfu. It is about 2,600 years old.

The Gorgon sits on the Council of Elders to tell you that it’s time to allow yourself to feel anger and rage. More than that though, she is telling you to look closely at how you Dance with Anger.

Are you hiding your anger? Are you masking it away? Are you denying your instinctual gut feelings?

It is time to reclaim your power. Time to use your anger to reshape your life instead of allowing it to use you.

The first step is allowing yourself to physically feel anger. Identifying how it physically feels when it first appears. This is not a time for intellectual analysis. When you find yourself becoming angry, stop and breathe into the places where you feel the anger growing. Allow yourself to just be in your body and let your energies and your breath flow with the anger.

When you are fully within your body you will be able to manage your anger wisely, instead of lashing out. You will be able to tackle the cause of your anger more effectively.You will be able to reclaim your power instead of giving it away.
