Amulet Readings by NanLT

This week, I began a new stage in my life. I have been doing Reiki healing for a long number of years and over time have self-taught myself in intuitive Reiki. Now, I have been given the opportunity to take this knowledge to a higher level, and at the same time learn Shamanic healing methods. I have held an interest in Shamanism for as long as I have been a Pagan.

Our first class was last night – and I received a message which was verified soon after when another course participant did a journey to discover what I needed. I spent today contemplating that message and wondering where things will lead after I have finished this course – absolutely I intend to finish it.

Contemplations lead to ideas. Ideas which I am letting percolate and choosing not to share at this time.Ideas which will come to fruition in the next 5 years.

However, I did a reading to ask the amulets if I am on the right track in my thinking.

This particular reading shows how sometimes the meaning within the reading is not always the meaning within the pages. Not fully in any case.

My Question: Is ________ the Path I am to be on?

The response from the amulets:

Frog – Speaking out

Nightstar – Fulfillment

Comb – Sef-reliance

Inanna – Self-transformation

Eyes – Inner visions

The first amulet drawn  is telling to to find my voice and speak out. More than that though, this is the frog symbol of Heket. Egyptian Goddess. As midwife of the Gods, she was called upon to aid women in labour – her priestesses may have been midwives, and she was called upon at the time of death to aid in the rebirth of the dead into new lives.  In this regard, it refers directly to the question I have asked.

Next comes the Nightstar – here to tell me I am looking the right direction. Powers are at my control and my dreams here will come true.

Then the Comb – telling me that I am the ultimate controlled of my destiny. I alone am the one to decide if this is what I am to do.

Inanna, Goddess Queen who made the descent to the Underworld. Here again, Her message is very – if I am to pursue this vocation (for a vocation it must be), then I must first make the Descent into the Underworld to retrieve that which is lost just as Inanna did.

Finally, the Eyes – Inner Visions. Not much hidden meaning and symbolism here either. Inner visions are shamanic journeys. And the changes which will come in how I perceive everything around me as I continue on this path.

Am I on the right path? Yes – but it is also my choice on whether to take this path. Or another.

Inanna - Journey to the Underworld

After looking at an image and forming a mental connection, I asked the Amulets to show me what this person needs to hear right now. These were the amulets drawn using the “Council of Elders” lay out.

Ewe – self-worth

It’s time to toot your own horn and shout out about your own accomplishments, gifts, and talents. My feeling is that this amulet applies not to you directly, but to someone very close to you and it is having an effect on your own life.

Frog – speaking out

Speak up, speak out. Let your views be known. Your words, at the right time, have to power to transform your life.

Sheela-na-gig – honouring choices

She is telling you that it isn’t quite yet time to be making a decision. First step is to carefully look at each choice. Only when you fully feel comfortable will it be time to make a decision.

Every choice you have made in life has lead you to where you are today. Honour those choices.

Owl – wisdom in the darkness

While examining choices, it may seem that a way forward cannot be seen. Owl is here to guide you. Use all your senses, listen and see that which cannot be heard or seen with the ears and eyes. Listen to your intuition, and to your heart, and to your body. Owl will lead you to the answer. Trust your intuition and those little niggles in the back of your mind.

Nightstar – fulfilment

While you may not be able to see an end, it is coming and all will work out. The nightstar is telling you that the powers of the universe are yours to use at this time. Look to the stars for guidance  through prayer and meditation. My feeling is that you need a bit of both prayer and meditation in your life at the moment. One is speaking to the Gods, the other is listening to their response.

Use prayer and meditation to discover your self-worth and give you the words you need to speak up at the time. Use prayer and meditation to gather your choices together and discover which is the right course for you. Use prayer and meditation as your guide through this time of darkness. Then, the anwers will come to you.

Speaking Out

Speaking out

This stylised image of a frog was painted on the side of a Cretan amphora which is about 2,000 years old. Frogs were considered sacred to Hekit, the Egyptian “midwife of the Gods”. In many places toads are also considered to be the familiar of witches.

The Frog amulet tells you that it is time to speak up, speak out, and let your voice be heard. You’ve kept silent for long enough.

Don’t hold back. Let the energy of your voice bring about a needed transformation in your world.
