Amulet Readings by NanLT

I was asked the other day if each of the amulets always has one meaning.

The answer to the question is no. The meanings from the amulets are always variable depending upon the questions being asked (which I don’t always know for a person receiving a reading) and the layout of the amulets.

In a recent reading, we actually saw answers to 2 separate questions within the same layout.  I was able to give the recipient answers to two unspoken questions, one regarding her spiritual path and the other regarding her teenage son.

When I am reading the amulets I focus on the headline meaning of each, combined with my own intuitive feelings on the matter and what amulets are around it. Each builds upon the one before it while the 5th leads back to the first completed a circle.

Council of Elders providing guidance

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.

I have now reviewed all 27 Amulet of the Goddess amulets.

As you have noticed, the amulets are divided into 3 sections

1. Goddess amulets
2. Animal amulets
3. Symbol amulets

I now want to explore with you the ways in which you can use the amulets. The layout which I have used in previous postings is one I call the Council of Elders.

The Council of Elders

Within the book that accompanies the amulets Nancy Blair suggests using 4 amulets for this type reading, but I’ve always felt more comfortable with odd numbers. So, I changed it.

Consult the Council of Elders when you are facing a difficult issue. The 5 members of the Council can then give you insight from their own perspective on the issue. I have also found that the advice from each council member will link with the others.

When consulting the Council of Elders think carefully of what you want to ask them. And be prepared to listen. I have found over time that the Elders do not always tell you what you want to know, but they always tell you what you need to hear.

Use a journal to record the words of wisdom that they give you.

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.

How can we best help to heal the earth?

I was focusing on the Gulf Oil Spill and asking of what we can do as a people to help the Earth in healing.

Amulets drawn:

Belonging

Willendorf Goddess – Belonging

Gorgon Goddess – Transforming Anger; Reclaiming Power

Triple Spiral – Barriers, Boundaries, and Possibilities

Nile River Goddess – Strength, Triumph, Success

Hand with Seeds – Accepting Responsibility

Transforming anger, reclaiming power

The Willendorf Goddess amulet reminds us of our connection to the Earth. Many people are feeling anger about the Gulf oil spill. This anger needs to be harnessed and focused to create change as at the moment it is being fired off in all directions and has been directed at the wrong places.  The best way to focus that energy is by identifying what the barriers are to creating healing, looking wt what we can and cannot do, and what will need to be left to Mother Nature to sort out, and making

Barriers, boundaries, and possibilities

plans based upon what we can do as individuals and within a group.Then doing it!

If we can do this, the Earth will be able to successfully recover.

And a final gentle reminder that we already have the tools we need in

Strength Triumph Success

hand, and we need to accept responsibility for our part in the creation of this disaster.

Accepting Responsibility
