Amulet Reading 4

Nile River Goddess — Stand in triumph

Sow — root out and listen

Ewe — self-worth is everything

Triple Spiral – 3 courses of action ahead

Gorgon – transforming anger

The Nile River Goddess stands with strength and in success and triumph to tell you it is time to stand tall. Look at where you have come from and honour the progress you have made.

Sow says to listen carefully not only to what is being said around you, but to what isn’t being said, and to what you are telling yourself. Root out the negative messages and remove them.

Ewe tells you to look to what you have accomplished. You are allowing someone to take your self-worth and power away from you, and that needs to stop.

The Triple Spiral indicates 3 courses of action coming ahead for you. One will lead to the Gorgon and that way will be difficult. You will need to face your own anger and actively work on transforming that anger into something productive. But, if you take this path, you will emerge from the other side triumphant (Nile River Goddess) and a better person for it.

Amulet of the Goddess Circle of Elders

Amulet of the Day – Dancing Bird Goddess

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.

Amulet of the Day – Gorgon Goddess

Transforming Anger; Reclaiming Power

The most recognised Gordon is the Greek Medusa, slain by Perseus. She was the frightful hag with snakes for hair who could turn men to stone with a look. Aspects of Her can also be seen in the Hindu Kali.

This particular image is of a Gorgon mask found at the Temple of Artemis on Corfu. It is about 2,600 years old.

The Gorgon sits on the Council of Elders to tell you that it’s time to allow yourself to feel anger and rage. More than that though, she is telling you to look closely at how you Dance with Anger.

Are you hiding your anger? Are you masking it away? Are you denying your instinctual gut feelings?

It is time to reclaim your power. Time to use your anger to reshape your life instead of allowing it to use you.

The first step is allowing yourself to physically feel anger. Identifying how it physically feels when it first appears. This is not a time for intellectual analysis. When you find yourself becoming angry, stop and breathe into the places where you feel the anger growing. Allow yourself to just be in your body and let your energies and your breath flow with the anger.

When you are fully within your body you will be able to manage your anger wisely, instead of lashing out. You will be able to tackle the cause of your anger more effectively.You will be able to reclaim your power instead of giving it away.

Amulet of the Day – Snake

The Snake – Shedding Fear; Renewing Hope

Shedding Fear; Renewing hope

This particular amulet comes from a seal carving found in ancient Crete. It is dated back to around 2,000 BCE.

Across ancient Europe the snake was revered, but never more so tham in Crete.

It could shed its skin without dying, making it a powerful metaphor for regenerative forces. Several statues on Crete show a female figure holding a snake in each hand, often staring trance-like, as a prophetic seer.

Snake Gods can be found in many cultures around the world, including India, Egypt, China, the Scandinavian countries, Australia, Native American myths,and the Mayan culture of Mexico as well as the later Aztec.

The Snake amulet comes to remind you that you carry the wisdom of the serpent deep within you. You can address all challenges with the power of the snake within you.

The Snake often comes to a person who has faced or is facing addictions or a difficult past with courage and commitment. You have journeyed to the centre of your soul and faced the “Death Goddess”. Now you are back in the arms of the Great Mother for renewal.

Transformation never ends. The “Dark Goddess” is not an enemy. She is an integral part of the God-force flowing within everything and everyone.

Have you been cutting yourself off from your feminine power? Focusing too much on one side, without balance? It’s time to journey into the Underworld to find and reintegrate those lost pieces of your self.

Amulet of the Day – Eyes: Reflecting Inner Visions

Reflecting inner visions

Eyes

Images of eyes have been found in artwork dated back to the Paleolithic Times. This particular image comes from a megalithic tomb in Sess Kilgreen (County Tyrone, Ireland). It dates from about 3,000BCE.

Drawing the Eyes indicates an upcoming change in how you view people and situations around you. It is here to tell you that this is a time to be watching and observing. Only act when you have seen the whole picture.
