Totems

[silverthorne]

Not much at the moment to say but to note who's come to play these days. I'll add observations as I digest what I've seen.

But for now.

In the technique (I hesitate to call it 'tradition') I used, I drew a card from the deck I have for each point on a seven point medicine wheel, and then two for 'those that walk beside' (On the left and the right).

They are:

East: Squirrel
South: Grouse
West: Mouse
North: Antelope
Above: Dragonfly
Below: Buffalo
Within: Snake

Left: Bear
Right: Crow

As lifetime companions through the zodiac, I'm also including

Cancer (Crab, Western)

And

Rooster (Wood, Eastern)

There's also my celtic birth-right through

Salmon.

For the moment, the general consensus is that I'm surrounded by helpers that are creative, changing and changers, deal in courage, and deal in immediate and right action, as well as aiming for long term goals and learning to gather and pace for bad times.

More to come as I look at each face closer.
