BUTTERFLY
BUTTERFLY's medicine includes joy, transformation, courage.
"BUTTERFLY, REVEAL MY INNER BEAUTY.
GUIDE ME IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF MY SOUL.
WITH MY NEW WINGS, I RISE ABOVE THE CLOUDS."
Butterfly is a magical animal. She represents change more so then any other
power animal. She was a symbol of the soul in earlier times. The Greek work
"psyche" meant both "soul" and "butterfly". It was believed that when a person
died, their soul became a butterfly.
A butterfly person loves to dance. The dance of Butterfly is full of bliss, joy
and power.
Butterfly will come to you at a point in your life when you are undergoing a
change which requires courage. You are coming out of your cocoon, and that takes
a lot of bravery, going to face something you have never faced before. When
Butterfly comes to you, examine what changes you are going through. Butterfly
gives you the chance to make your transformation a beautiful experience. Once
transformation is complete, your possibilities will have greatly expanded.
Nothing can stop you as long as you use your wonderful new wings and fly.
COYOTE
COYOTE's medicine includes shapeshifting, intelligence, cunning.
"COYOTE, TEACH ME THE PARADOX OF LIFE,
THE BALANCE OF THE DARK AND LIGHT,
THE SACREDNESS OF WHAT IS NOT SACRED AT ALL."
While one may imagine that Coyote represents a trickster (and he does), he also
represents one worthy of trust. This is just one way he is a symbol of duality.
He teaches us the importance of balance by being foolish and wise, silly and
serious, simple and complex, happy and sad.
Coyote is humorous and funny, but sometimes his laughter is a mask for his
sadness and desolation. His laughter is really at the very brink of teats. He
will do anything to make people laugh, even if it means being a complete fool,
as long as nobody discovers his secret pain.
The important lessons Coyote teaches us are to love our children, laugh at our
mistakes and appreciate the paradox that is life – all is sacred, yet nothing is
sacred at all.
DOG
DOG's medicine includes loyalty, protection.
"DOG, TEACH ME THE IMPORTANCE OF LOYALTY.
SHOE ME THE JOY OF BLIND LOVE.
I FOLLOW MY HEART TO SEE THE UNSEEN."
Dog is a watcher and protector. He is loyal and trustworthy. Dog is true to
himself and lets nobody change his values. His love is absolute and
unconditional. Once you have befriended Dog, you have made a friend and guardian
for life.
A Dog person is kind and caring. There is nothing Dog won't do to help their
family and friends. Dog doesn't ask for anything in return for its services as
watcher and protector. A gentle touch, a kind word or a friendly gesture has
more meaning then money or material treasures. A Dog person also has a tendency
to "smell" something bad – they sense trouble from a distance and can tell when
a person has evil intentions simply by being near them.
The down side of Dog is that he can be too trusting, allowing himself to be
taken advantage of. If you are a Dog person, do not let yourself be walked all
over. Don't let others abuse your generous and loyal nature.
DOLPHIN
DOLPHIN's medicine includes communication, wisdom, the power of breath and
sound.
"DOLPHIN, LEND ME YOUR INSIGHT,
DEEP AS THE OCEAN,
TO FOLLOW THE RHYTHMS OF THE UNIVERSE
AND HEAR THE VOICES OF MY ANCESTORS."
Dolphin warns mankind of the danger that nears as we ignore the balance of our
delicate ecosystem.
Dolphin teaches man how controlling our breathing can release emotions and help
us reach altered states of consciousness. If you are able to breathe in rhythm
with Dolphin, he will take you to all the places that existed before man walked
the earth, before the seas covered the land, during our primordial beginnings.
Dolphin also teaches how inner sound, along with breathing, can allow you to
enter the waters of life to seek your desires. Dolphin's lesson is to move with
the flow of life. Go the direction life carries you and you will avoid great
obstacles. He encourages you to dive deep into the waters of life, don't forget
to enjoy life, and always remember to breathe.
EAGLE
EAGLE's medicine includes courage, spirit.
"EAGLE, CARRY ME INTO THE SKY,
TO RISE ABOUT MY DOUBTS.
SET ME FREE TO REACH MY SOUL'S DESIRE."
Eagle rises above everything, he is ambitious and reaches for the stars. Eagle
is thought of as being the closest to the Creator. He flies above the material
things to see the spiritual. This gives Eagle a great amount of insight and
spiritual wisdom.
An Eagle person is tenacious, in control, and very brave. They often "rise
above" the chaos below them to reach spiritual solace. As long as Eagle follows
his intuition, he will be heading in the right direction.
