Amulet Readings by NanLT

Another Mystic Minds weblog


Reiki, Shamanism, and Spirit Guides

I have been doing work recently learning about the Shaman Path and sought words of wisdom from the Amulets. This is what they had to tell me.

Where do I look to learn to live a more Shamanic life?

To walk the path of Ecstasy (Dancing Bird Goddess)

you must – Listen (Sow) to hear what is not being said

you must – See (Owl) through the darkness to what can’t be seen

you must – Look through your Inner Visions (Eyes)

and Trust (Whirlwinds) what cannot be seen

Whirlwinds - Trust the Invisible

Can you guide me to my Spirit Helper/Guardian?

Dolphin – playing, laughter, fun

Inanna – Journey to the Underworld

Spider – Discover my own creativity, look inside myself

Sprouting Seed – the process has been started, new beginnings

Laussel Goddess – Moon time, cycles, let the Spirit Guides come to you in their own time.

Inanna - Journey to the Underworld

Who will guide me as I journey to meet my Spirit Guides over time?

Night Star – Fulfillment

Universal energies are at my command.

Night Star - Universal Powers at your command

Amulet Reading 5

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.

Amulet Reading 3

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

Amulet reading using the Council of Elders

What does a young mother need to know for her children?

Ewe

Self-worth

Willendorf Goddess

Belonging

Joy and Celebration

Sacred Creativity

Wisdom of the Darkness

Wisdom of the Darkness

The Ewe – Self-worth

It’s time to acknowledge the value of all you have accomplished. You do not have to prove your worthiness.

Willendorf Goddess – Belonging

Have you been feeling disconnected from the world? The Willendorf Goddess is here to remind you that you belong. You have a place and a purpose. Focus on what you have accomplished without comparing yours

elf to others.

Dolphin – Joy/Celebration

Good things are happening in your life. Take the time to rejoice and celebrate. It’s time to play. Find the place of laughter in your heart. There is great healing in laughter without purpose.

Spider - Sacred Creativity

The creativity and sacred dimensions you are seeking are already within you. Even the act of making a cup of tea can be a sacred act if you focus your intent and remain present “in the moment”.

Owl – Wisdom of the Darkness

Changes are coming into your life. They can’t be seen yet, but trust the Owl to lead you through to the other side. Trust your intuition. Step back from situations if you need before making decisions.

Most notable in this layout is the presence of 4 animal amulets. Do you find yourself being drawn to one? Use this time to learn more about that animal. Focus on the animal and listen to what it has to tell you.

I see in these amulets an urge to explore your creative urges. Where this will lead can’t be seen, but trust the Owl to lead you. While you are exploring remember to celebrate and be in the joy of “now” – that is where you will find your own sacred creative self. Doubts come from comparing yourself to others instead of knowing that you have self worth and that you belong.

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.
