An Amulet Reading

There are different ways of reading the Amulets, using 1, 5, or 7 amulets.

Most often I do a drawing using 5 amulets, putting them before me in a semi-circle like a Council of Elders.

I’ve drawn 5 out now to do a sample reading.

Moon time

Moon time

Cat

Protecting good fortune

Owl

Wisdom of the Darkness

Ewe

Self-worth

Willendorf Goddess

Belonging

Taken as a whole they can give you a good bit of insight and advice, sometimes not the advice you wanted to hear mind you, but good advice none the less.

The Laussel Goddess is reminding you to slow down and take your time, listen to the cycles of your body and the world around you. Look at how your own moods and energy levels are affected by the cycles of the moon.

The Cat is telling you to protect the good things in your life. She is also the bearer of good fortune. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, you’ve earned your good fortunes.Gather around you those people who are happy and supportive of the good in your life, keep close those who can sustain you with encouragement and enthusiasm.

The Owl tells you that these are people you might meet in unusual circumstances , in darkness or unseen. To me, this indicates friends who have never met face to face. Friendships forged through internet connections. Owl will guide you in where you need to go to find these connections.

The Ewe says it’s time to toot your own horn, time to emphasize and encourage the value of your own accomplishments and talents. Your influences and actions have an effect on your environment. If you feel unworthy, who are you deferring your power to? If you think someone else is “better” or more talented, look at it. Practice this very powerful mantra: I AM!

Find your own creative way by listening to your inner voice.

Finally, The Willendorf Goddess tells you that you belong. She has come to tell you that your presence counts. You are important. Take your eyes off “others” and focus on your own bounty, your own good fortunes, your own talents. Avoid comparing yourself with others which will always lead to isolation and loneliness.

Taken all together:

All things in life moves in cycles. As good things and good fortunes come to you, protect them. Gather people near to you in your life who will help you in this. One area where you can do this is through networking via the internet (friends unseen). As you gather people close, learn from them but do not judge yourself by their actions or compare yourself to them. You belong just as surely as any other person, with your own talents and your own skills to offer.

Amulet of the Day: Owl

Owl: Wisdom of the Darkness

Wisdom of the Darkness

Owl - Wisdom of the Darkness

The owl was sacred to Athena, Lilith, Blodeuwydd, and other Moon Goddesses. It is a familiar of witches. A traditional symbol of wisdom.

This amulet image comes from a bird mask carved on the lid of a Neolithic water vessel (late 6th millennium BCE). The mouth served as a spout.

The Owl comes to lead you through the darkness. When your way is unclear, she will teach you to see and hear with your psychic senses.

The owl tells you that it is okay to say “I don’t know.”  It is okay to delay decisions until you have gathered all the information you need. “I don’t feel comfortable with what you’ve suggested. I want to think about it and I will get back to you.” Trust your intuition and those inner “vibes”.

See through situations and people to what lies beneath. Get to the truth.

Find a balance between intellect and emotion to clarify a situation.

Amulet Reading 31 May – Sacred Creativity

Spider Sacred Creativity

Today’s amulet drawn was the Spider – Sacred Creativity.

I’ve kept it beside me today as I work on my Squidoo lenses, to remind me of why I am writing. Yes, it’s nice to get a bit of money each month. The biggest reason though is because it gives an outlet for one form of creativity which I have found I have a talent and a passion for – writing.

The Spider on this amulet is from a carved shelldisk found in North America. It comes from the Mississippian culture in Illinios and dates from around 1000BCE.

Spider Woman weaves the world into being.

The Spider Amulet comes today to remind me that all acts of creativity are sacred acts, are spiritual acts. Even writing about the mundane can be an act of creative spirituality, if it comes from within.

She’s a reminder of what I already was realising – it’s time to focus more fully back upon my writing, and on promoting myself.
