Amulet Readings by NanLT

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

Primal Mother and Child – Infinite Love
Whirlwinds – Trust the invisible
Dancing Bird Goddess – Ecstasy
Sheela-Na-Gig -  Choices
Triple Spiral – Barriers, Boundaries, Possibilities

You spend so much time and energy nurturing others. It’s time to accept some nurturing for yourself. Let the Mother Goddess hold you in Her arms and accept her loving embrace.

There are changes coming which cannot be seen yet. The Whirlwind Amulets are telling you to trust in the Universe. Trust the invisible.

Dancing Bird Goddess says that you have done a lot of soul-searching and have been on a hard journey lately, but you will gain the rewards for this work.  Right now, passions are raised and energy levels are high. You are going through a time of transformation, and you will come out the other side reborn, like the Phoenix from the ashes.

Sheela-na-Gig indicates you have some choices to make. These do not have to be made rashly. It’s okay to look at each decision, each choice. Take it out and examine it from all angles.  Only then, when you are fully ready, does a decision have to be made. Once made, honour those choices. Each one you have made has brought you to where you are now in your life.

Finally, you have the Triple Spiral. This amulet always indicates to me that you have an area in your life which you need to look at more closely. It also indicates there are some difficult decisions which need to be made by you.

Barriers, Boundaries, Possibilities
Divide a sheet of paper into 3 columns.  At the head of the first column, write Naming Barriers. At the head of the second column, write Healthy Boundaries. At the head of the third column, write Creating Possibilities.
Under the first column, write a list of the obstacles which are facing you. Which can you change? Which can you not change? How would you change them? Who are the people involved? What would you want to say to them?
Under the second column, write out what your limits and boundaries are in difficult situations. Where are you saying “Yes” when you want to say “no” or vice versa? What situations are happening around you that cause you to feel uncomfortable? What are your boundaries there? What will you accept and what will you no longer tolerate?
Under the third column, think about the ways you would do things differently in your own life. Look at the way you want to be, not the way you think you should be. Have you been living someone else’s life instead of your own? What would you change and how would you live differently?

As you face these choices and these changes, remember that Mother Goddess is always there to hold you in Her loving embrace. And Trust the Invisible.

Council of Elders

Barriers, Boundaries, and Possibilities

I think of all the amulets, this is one of my favourites. Both for its meaning and for its design. I have always been attracted to spiral patterns and the triple spiral pattern here is especially appealing to my aesthetic sense.

This particular spiral design comes from a megalithic stone found in Newgrange, County Meath, Ireland. The stone faces out eastward fro the interior of an earthen mound. At sunrise on the winter solstice the shining sun comes streaming between the stones and lights up this spiral pattern.

When the Triple Spiral appears in a reading, it is telling you that a three part action is needed to resolve the situation you have found yourself in.

When you are unable to see your way out, follow the triple spiral path.

Name barriers.

Make a list of the obstacles you are facing. The first step in solving a problem is to identify what, exactly, the problem is. If necessary, draw another amulet to help with clarifying what the obstacles are that you are facing.

Claim healthy boundaries.

Set your limits and stand firm when others push against those boundaries. Be a firm parent on your own behalf. Say “No” when you have to.

Create possibilities.

Once you have identified the problems and obstacles you are facing and set the boundaries on what you will and will not accept, then the next step is to determine what it is that you can do. Listen to your own internal voice, not the voices of others distracting you from your own path.

Remember, the spiral path is not two-dimensional. There are more choices available to you than either/or. Don’t limit the scope of your potential.
