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.

Hand with Seeds - Accepting Responsibility

The Amulet drawn for today is Hand with Seeds – Accepting Responsibility.

This image had been taken from wall paintings found while excavating the ancient city of Catal Huyuk in Western Turkey. This neolithic community was founded over 9000 years ago.These particular prints have an open area on the palm with some dots drawn in the center. At this time, one can only speculate what these dots represent.

The meaning here is quite clear – you hold the seeds of growth within your hands. Whatever may be going on in your life, take responsibility for it.

If you’ve been holding an idea in your hands, now is the time to plant it. To let it take root And grown.

I have been thinking a lot this morning about my reasons for taking part in the Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK. It’s a good cause in itself, but my reasons are a bit less altruistic.

I’m taking part because I want to get fit. On the other hand, I really dislike the idea of exercising just for the sake of exercising. I knew when I made a goal of becoming fit that I needed a lot more motivation than “To become healthier”. That sort of motivation would not take me very far. Knowing that I was preparing for a 5K walk/run (I don’t plan on running this, not with my knees!) to raise money for a good cause has kept me motivated though.

So, how does this relate back? I’m thinking about getting healthy. I have the seeds for that within my grasp – a membership in a lady’s only gym, DVDs, the Wii with Wii Fit+, loads of places where I can walk.

It’s time to stop thinking about getting fit, and do it! It’s time to take responsibility for my self. Plant the seeds of fitness which I hold within my grasp, and nurture those seeds as they grow.

Whirlwinds - Trusting the Invisible

Today I have drawn Whirlwinds – Trusting the Invisible

The image is of a whirling image around a resting butterfly. It originally comes from a Central European Neolithic pottery dish, dated from around 7000BCE.

This is a symbol of movement and transformation, but also of stillness found within the center.

This amulet today is reminding me that while I may not see immediate results for the actions I have taken, things are happening. I have to trust that all will come in its own time and detach myself from the outcomes.

So what am I looking at in this regard. What areas of my life have I been making changes in?

Writing – I have been focusing more on promoting my writing. Here, the amulet is telling me to continue that focus, and to trust that positive results will come from that focus.

I use the Amulets of the Goddess as a divination tool and as a means of accessing my subconscious thoughts.

Today, I have done an open ended reading, focusing on what will be coming up in my life.

The amulets drawn were

Whirlwinds – Trusting the Invisible

Hand with Seeds – Accepting Responsibility

The Primal Mother Goddess and Child – Infinite Love

Dreaming Goddess – Intuitive Inspiration

Frog – Speaking Out

My initial thoughts upon laying out the amulets were that a change is coming, which cannot yet be fully seen (whirlwind). It is something that I have set in motion and have the tools to deal with (hand with seeds). I am loved unconditionally (mother goddess). Inspiration on where I will need to go will come to me intuitively, or in my dreams. (dreaming goddess). And where ever things lead, I need to speak out about it, and not keep silent. (frog)

Looking deeper.

I have set change in motion (whirlwinds), now I need to detach myself from the results.

If you plant seeds and dig them up to check their progress, they cannot grow (hands with seeds).

Trust that things are moving forward as they should (mother goddess).

Listen to your inner guides. (dreaming goddess)

When the time is right, then speak out (frog)
