Turtle Power
Some Medicine from Turtle Totem: Having a hard shell is not the same as having a spine.
Having a hard shell means that you have a place to retreat inwards to keep yourself safe, but it also means that life, people, and circumstances can and will roll you in front of unpleasant things. And hide behind you while you get hit.
Where as having a spine means that you can stand upright and be able to hold your own ground.
~~~
Many times in our lives, circumstances have forced us into hardening a part of ourselves. To numb-out overwhelming feelings we have switched off, become cold, draw inward. We slow to a crawl. We reach point of being fearful about taking a chance or step.
In our inability to choose a path for ourselves, we feel knocked around by Fate, who in her own way is telling us that our spine only grows when we build it through learning through the knocks. Our spine keeps us both flexible and upright. Energetically speaking this allows us freedom based on our ability to choose based on our previous experiences.
This feeling is discernment. Turtle teaches us when to withdraw, but we also need to use the inward dwelling time to rebuild our spine, use our discernment to draw strong/safe lines. In this way, the next time we are faced with a challenge, we will not need to hide in our shell. We can face our lives with strength, courage, and discernment.
Namaste.

Cult of Personality
Lately alot of folks who I used to respect for their input and wise hearts truth are getting caught up in this idea that we need strong definitive new leadership if we are going to fix things here on Great Momma Earth. From my observation of history/ trends/ propaganda, I have learned that ONE leader is a really really bad idea. With one person calling the shots we are all left in a very vulnerable position, one that can lead to great harm for many.
So sorry folks: Im not interested in your new ‘cult of personality‘… You wanna chase around a ‘guru’, thats your choice, and I wish you all the best…
However don’t expect me to fawn at your guru’s feet. I will only listen to my spidey sense in these matters, and your fawning over a guru’s deeds will not sway me. My mind is open and my heart is clear. I will no longer be demonized for seeing through your illusions and projections.
Reality Check:
1)There are many many many wise souls who are sharing their truth at this time.
2)No ONE teacher has ALL the answers.
3)We are not ment to follow the same path, if we were, why incarnate into different bodies, born to folks with differing sometimes conflicting beliefs. Rather we are here to find a place in our hearts and minds where different peacefull paths for ALL people are possible and respected.
4)Find your OWN path and you will find wholeness in your spirit, and peace in your heart.
5)Love folks for who they are, and where they are in their own journeys. Your most sacred teachers walk with you as you journey, take a look around at the people in your life, their lives are reflections of the lessons you need on your journey.
6)It’s time for all people everywhere to LEAD their OWN LIVES. Your hearts are mighty, live your truth. Namaste.
Much LOVE

This rant brought to you by LittleCat who learned all this crap the hard way.
Some thoughts about Ego…
Ego I think is what makes people… people. Its one of those things that comes with having a body. Otherwise why would we incarnate at all, if we were not here to learn from and share our life lessons with each other.
However, Ego is purely concerned with ‘getting its needs met by any means’. For example this is really handy for a baby to have. Baby cries, (expresses it’s ego) to help get its needs met. Mothers learn to distinguish their babies cries, and needs get met with more accuracy, conflict resolved, and evolution in behavior takes place in both parties.
Our boundaries break down when we have no model or outlet for healthy conflict resolution.
As we walk through life we get wounded by our learnings about the world, we get confused and our Ego tries to protect us by making our internal views and beliefs match the outside world. This is due to the fact that at our core beings we are generally peacefull and looking to belong to a tribe/ family/ relationship/ peer group/ community. Somewhere, anywhere we belong.
This process breaks down our boundaries and the lines between self and not self begin to blur.
Therefor I think the problem forms when Ego gets stunted, in its natural growth, before it reaches the place of healthy conflict resolution. Which is a necessary skill in being a part of any type of relationship.
We get shamed, and we learn to control the behavior that might just be our ‘spidey sense’ speaking up. We start to ignore the healthy warning signs that keep us safe.
Ego then learns to compensate for our own shitty fences, we have no choice but to learn to ‘defend’ our territory. Sometimes we learn wrong behaviors and begin lashing out. This again is a natural warning sign that someone is trying to get through your fences/ boundaries/ gates/ inner circle/ core. The more we continue to ignore/ suppress the problem the worse it gets. Ego begins to run amok, sabotaging relationships and feelings of self worth. Alot of spiritual teachings say to kill or ‘transcend’ the Ego… However our ego is one of our psychic self defense systems, its connected to the spidey sense, and is a core part of personality.
One day I asked myself: Isn’t it just simpler to ‘mend the fence’ instead of investing all that energy into fighting off the hoards of invaders?
I have decided I will keep my Ego, and help it GROW UP… And when I feel my Ego starting to run amok, I will spend some time with my inner child, poking around my feelings to see whats up. Does my fence have a hole? Is this my feeling, or does it come from someone else? How can I speak my truth in this situation? Am I being listened to, are my words clear? Iam I being respected, Am I respectfull?
As always it comes back to… Know thyself. Know what triggers you and you have more options on how situations/ circumstances unfold in your life.
Namaste

Dark Night of the Soul
Energy comes in waves… we ALL transition through periods of light and darkness in our lives. A Bardo. A doorway. A stargate. A hope/prayer/song for a compassionate compromise. Mors Janua Vitae. But we have each witnessed our own dark night of the soul. We have survived. We have gotten smarter. Not because we were the strongest or the fiercest creatures, no it was because we were able to learn and grow, evolve and change.
We have all been through some kind of darkness. Only by shedding light on the pain, we recognize the original intent, a sacred cosmic teaching. We become adapted to our new lesson, and hopefully were able to share this learning with someone else. And they shared their sacred teachings and so on and so ONE. :)
Take a deep breath and open your chakras¦ As we approach the darkest night of the year in a few thousand year cycle. We are being asked to hold to the light. We are being asked to be midwives, agents of compassion to all who are facing their darkness for the first time.
We are the light.
We are the Winged Solar Disc. We are the bright ones. We are the people of love. We are hope and love and joy incarnate into bodies that have hands to hold, arms to embrace, and sweet tears to share.
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. There is nothing you can do that cant be done. There is no thing that you can sing that can’t be sung. There isn’t anywhere you are meant to be except for where you are meant to be. It’s Easy. All you need is love.
Thank you wise teacher John Lennon.
A chance for ReBirth. Great Momma awakens. GrandMother Spider shares her wisdom and song though these crossroads. As the light is being absorbed by our souls, we experience a type of death, a leaving of the old way of being behind. Stepping into a new space where we are all powerfull, because we are all loving, and we are all free.
Remember Love is a virus. It infects you, and consumes everything. Until all is left is Love. Go spread it around. Amen!

Info on Dimensional Energy Collected from My Rantings
This post is channeled from Grandmother Spider … This is her information on Quantum Mechanics. (I personally have a limited understanding of Quantum Physics, so please bear with me.) And as with any channeled messages, please use your own spidey sense to determine its validity and application in your life.
There alot of people “SELLING SALVATION/ SPIRITUAL BY-PASS / ASCENSION ” about this material. MY GUIDES WOULD LIKE THIS TO END… IMMEDIATELY!
This offering is made freely and with love, in the hopes to open hearts and minds. We are one peace, and together we can turn the world around. So here we go…
1st dimension: is a single point of reference: but remember inside each atom there is nothing but space… potential. (A nifty article on 1 dimensional universe)
2nd dimension: is a line or space between two points of reference. Now we have two items that are only filled with space… and there is a space for relation between these two points… interconnectedness can now be addressed.
3rd dimension: is a the first physical incarnation “body” of matter… there are now enough points of reference to address the system as a whole… but lacking the skills to do so… no opportunity for outside observer states in this dimension.
4th dimension: is progression… “bodies” moving through time… living in the concept of a “body”. First outside observer state. One day follows another. Thought patterns are limited to how much we can accomplish or DO in time. Time is money. This first outside observer theory becomes the more you DO the more ‘power’ you are given. Power is usually seen as ‘power of domination’. THIS THINKING MUST END!
Our HEARTS are BOUND to our BODIES, our BODIES are a manifestation of Great Momma Earth’s Heart. She is hurting and so are her children. All of us are hurting… How do we fix this?
TURNING POINT
5th dimension: So this would be living in the body… without the need for the limits of time. Therefore we are now connecting our DOING with our BEING. This allows for Balance and expanded Perspectives and Freedoms for Healing and Evolution.
Incarnating into a Body means we ARE here to DO (its a built in, so stop kidding yourselves into not ‘DOING’ or working for healthy change for everyone. If we were here to just be… we wouldn’t need incarnate bodies.) This is why we are asked to BE LOVE and LIGHT… not so we can sit in meditation and feel blissed out all the time. (Although that feeling is awesome and refills us. Which is essential. This is not the goal.)
The goal is to BE LOVE and LIGHT and DO the things LOVE and LIGHT does.
LOVE will always reach out to others who are in need of comfort. Its called empathy folks, its built in USE IT! It is a powerfull healing tool, and one we can all access, by seeing the other person as a reflection of self. The inner voice that says “I know what it is like to be hurt… therefor I will tread softly so I do not hurt another.”
LIGHT will always shine brightest in darkness. There is alot of darkness in the world that is in a process of being exposed, because it is time. This means where we see darkness… we need to shine light on it… examine it… and look for ways to heal with LOVE. Not to ignore the problem or “change the channel.”
The 2012 ‘end of time’ message is just that… the end of the limiting concept that is time. I think this is why Mayan elder Wandering Wolf is telling us to Celebrate and Hold Light.
I think it means seeing things unfold (past and future) clearly all at once, so we can make healthier choices.
It will make us free from both comfortable illusions and false information.
If we stand up and celebrate life… If we teach others that life is sacred… If we share what we have… If we tread softly on GREAT MOMMA EARTH. We will be able to heal our world, making it a safe place for ALL children everywhere. We can HEAL… when we LIVE and ACT from Compassionate HeartSpace. :)

I shall choose…
Bulb has burnt out.
Alone I ask: Spiritual Darkness or Metaphysical Light?
Is it really just a light bulb?
Am I thinking too much?
~~~
Who am I to judge a sign from within?
Angered and Ostracized.
Demonic and Depressed.
Ignorant and Introspective.
A hatefilled heathen?
A violent vixen?
This is my life after all.
~~~
I shall chose:
to walk alone
to stand in the dark
to behold the light
to raise my voice
to fight back
to not hide
to be found
to be counted
to write this poem
to read burnt books
to love dead poets
to sing my own praises
to share this with those I see worthy
to take the blindfold off
to cut the ties that bind
to love not out of blood, but for the sake of itself
to clothe myself in barbed wire to plant kisses and watch them bloom
to honour those who came before and those to come after.
To think.
To grow.
To wither.
To smile at Death.
To change the fucking light bulb and begin again.

This is an old poem written in HighSchool. Dated: August 23, 1999.
Great Momma’s Energy Shifts… and Lightworkers Processing Safely.
Psychopomps Heads UP: and those people are even a little bit psychic… Hope this helps you folks, in dealing with the emotional aftermath of the Japan Tsunami. When something of this magnitude happens (Earthquakes/ Tsunami/ Flooding etc…) anywhere on Great Momma Surface… there is alot of excess energy that needs to be grounded.
Simply put there are more souls that need to be released… more souls to help cross home safely. This is called being a Psychopomp. Some people know they have this ability and some don’t.
But when something this huge happens… all psychics are ‘tapped’… and we all have to pitch in and help these souls home.
Grounding Energy is Essential:
-Prayer: “I pray for peacefull transitions for all souls who are wandering at this time. May they journey safely. I honour those who have come before, and those who come after. Namaste/ Ashe/ Shalom/ Amen/ Peace.”
-Drumming: Rhythmic Grounding tones help release pressure and allow for natural pain/ trauma management.
-Dancing/ Swimming/ Yoga/ Physical Activities
-Art: helps us learn about creation/ destruction/ rebirth/ regeneration cycles in all things.
-Singing/ Chanting: opens up our solar plexus/ heart/ throat chakras, gets the energy moving up and through your body.
-Crying: Be gentle with yourself. Emotions are running high, for most folks right now. Remember to breathe.
-Drinking Water for Clarity: be thankfull to your water. (Dr. Emoto)
-Being Greatfull: try to find, a teaching to be explored, a new way to appreciate compassion, or a new understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
-Eating: Food is our most basic energy transformer. I recommend trying to eat Fresh/ Organic/ Non-GMO/ free range. Start by cutting out junk foods… Rome wasn’t built in a day, and some foods are highly addictive, they will take awhile to get out of your system, but its worth it.
-DARK CHOCOLATE 70% + : seriously chocolate does what it says in Harry Potter… Really!
-Sleep, Is very important, alot of people who are psychic specifically do the ‘work’ in their sleep, you may begin having dreams related to the major event. New psychopomps will sometimes ‘work’ in their sleep for years before they are comfortable in the waking world.
Most female psychopomps will be feeling alot of pressure and aches when something like this happens… looking at root/ sacral/ solar plexus = grounding/ sexual/ power = Bringing the male and female into balance internally/ reflecting that externally and taking healing action. Females feel this more because we are natural vessels for souls… uterus power!!* Lighting a prayer candle can help tremendously. I use a long lasting large beeswax and it burns for days when this stuff happens… the souls pass through the flames and not through your lower 3 chakras.
Please seek out support if any feelings become too overwhelming for you to deal with on your own. Namaste.
Much LOVE and Gratitude for your Support and Compassion at this time of transition.

Real Sacrifice…
At some point in our history, the message of sacrifice got mixed up with blood which, to our ancestors, seemed the essence of life. This is a misinterpretation of the true message. But its what people thought at the time… remember people once thought the world was flat… and we know how that turned out.
The hidden wisdom of the sacred feminine has returned. Blood shed was never the intent, but has caused much suffering for Great Momma and her people everywhere. WE NEED TO SEE EACH OTHER AS A SACRED TEACHER who provides us with lessons we need to get smarter about our place in the world.
I believe that it is essential to give sacred energy back to the Universal Source. We cannot receive blessings in our lives without the sharing of ourselves. We ALL have gifts we were born with. Gifts we were destined to share with the world. When we deny this part of ourselves, we end up in a state of dis-ease.
We now KNOW that the essence of life is the SOUL. The sacred spark. So we are actually being asked to sacrifice our own ego desires to make the world a better place!
So giving sacrifice is simply being of service to your brothers and sisters as well as Great Momma Earth. Or paying it forward.
Is it really that easy?
Yes! Yes it is…
Namaste!

Better to Light a Candle…
This is a candle meditation / ritual… When we give our energy to the past, or the future, we dismiss the moment. We dismiss the power to change, to evolve. The intent is to cast light into the shadows… So we can be evolution in action.
1) Center Your Energy “I pray for clarity of vision and heart space. I pray that my energy be aligned with peace and hope.”
2) Light a candle or sacred fire.
3) Call elemental circle energy (I have left the directional / elemental alignments to each person’s ideology…)
Air: “Visionaries, Illuminated Beings, we ask you to witness and be present to our global rite of passage.”
Fire: “Fiery spirit and energy we ask you to bestow your gifts of creative passion as we walk the path of soul healing.”
Water: “Synchronicity and flow are ever present in a life lived in the moment. May we find the courage to be open and vulnerable to the moment.”
Earth: This is the place we are reminded of the amazing gifts we have been given. This is the bardo. Birth, life, death and rebirth. This is our crossroad.
4) Open Chakras and meditate on this thought: “As we transition from this place to the next, as we transfer from this moment to the next, we must recall, always, that we are the divine creators of our existence. For far too long we have been caught in nostalgia for times past or longing for some brighter day. Reality is, this moment is IT. This is the power. This moment. Evolution doesn’t happen in the future. It happens with every exhalation and every inhalation, because then we have a chance to make a change. I ask you now to join with me and recognize the sacred power of the here and now. This is the true power of satyagraha. It is being truthful and honest in the moment. Seeing that there is a change that needs to be made, and not waiting for some authority to come take care of it. Rather for each of us to recognize that we have the power to end suffering, to bring hope, to bring love, to bring compassion, and trust, and healing, back to our world, as one.”
5) At this time I ask everyone to focus their attention on their sacred flame. (As you inhale, the energy flows up in you, and as you exhale, the energy flows down in you. ) -Visualize this light as being a part of yourself that you carry, always, into the world. -Visualize this energy flowing out from you and into the universe, and also through your feet into the Great Momma. -Energy flows from the Universe and the Great Momma back to you. “Realize you are the same as the fire. You burn brightly in a dark world, and there are more candles and more flames being added every day. And there is more and more light coming to the world. And we are able to see into the shadows. And to liberate and bring compassion to all who are hidden there.”
6) “Much Love and Gratitude for ALL energies present. We are one heartbeat. Namaste.”
~~~ You can either leave the candle burning in a safe space or put it out and relight it with the same intent for future use. ~~~
Peace and Blessings… Much Gratitude.

Transforming Life after ‘Death’ : The story of a Moose on a Mission
Every moment is a sacred gift. Yes, even the painful ones. Let me explain…
The Time of Approaching Shadows, is powerful for Moose (late fall and early winter). This can also represent the dawn and dusk times. In spiritual terms, dark night of the soul, re-birthing, spiritual transformation and growth, those moments that can be bittersweet and tremendously beautiful all at once.
Moose calves are born with their eyes open and in a few days can swim. What that means to people with Moose energy, they are born spiritually awake, plugged in, switched on and ready to swim in the waters of consciousness. Add on top of that the huge antlers that act as antenna to the universe. These are the people who just “know”. Also Moose are able to move quickly, silently, and virtually unseen despite their great size and power.
I was born and raised in a non-religious and non-spiritual environment. My innate spiritual gifts mostly went unnoticed and were difficult to explain when they were. I couldn’t tell you as a child how I “knew” the things I did. I had no words for the things I saw and felt around me. Anytime I was asked to explain why I was uncomfortable in a situation, I was often left feeling shamed and confused, like others thought I was making up stories.
The reality was my empathy was switched on in a big way as a child. My intuition about situations kept me safe more times than I can count. So even though as a child I really struggled with this gift of spirit, due to the misunderstandings it caused in my life, I can now use its power to transform my life and the lives of others. That is the power of Moose.
~~~
Moose represents primal feminine power, self-esteem and the magic of life and death.
I was a very sick when I was a child. There was a constant series of doctor appointments and hospital visits. I had to face the fear of death early on. Since I was small and ill I also ended up being frequently harassed by the kids on the playground.
This has opened up my empathy to other peoples suffering, and allowed me to learn how to help those who are transitioning from one state to another (Bardo States). That is the power of Moose.
~~~
Most moose have a pendant of fur-covered skin, called a bell, hanging from the throat. They have a powerful song energy that is called forth from this place.
Despite being ill, I found great comfort and joy in singing. Especially with others. It was the one thing that my body seemed to do naturally.
I couldn’t always breathe, but I could always sing. Again I ‘m not exactly sure how but I knew healing through song was my soul calling. That is the power of Moose.
Moose symbolizes expressing joy of accomplishment, learning to sing my own song, and sharing what I know to help others learn to sing from their hearts too. That is the power of Moose.
Namaste.
