Happy Monday to all that choose to visit this weekly initiative that I call Medicine Card Monday.

Some of you may read my work regularly and know that I somewhat cringe at certain phrasing such as "Love & Light," "I'm an Empath," or the now oracle cards I occasionally use have the word "Shaman."

Many of these terms became hawt words because if we believe in a collective consciousness then we know that sometimes within our human race we may sometimes catch on to things others are doing and saying. However, this does not mean that we necessarily have these abilities.

The intention of Love and Light is admirable, since many do not want to see the dark. When one actually matures within the community, if they mature then they realize that there is darkness just as there is light. In regards to being an empath, the reality is the only 15 percent of the entire world's population are empathic and then there are those who have specific traits within this ability that bring the percentage even lower.

This brings me to the fact that the term shamanism was originated in Russia and traveled through to China and Tibet. (See Source) The practice included witchcraft and worship of evil spirits. Some may love to argue that they are a witch or they are a shaman and sometimes go dark but remain in the light. There are tons of different categories people may place on their soul.

Since this is my blog then I will say that in my opinion each soul has a right to be whomever they wish to be. This is called free will, however, I prefer honesty. So, if a person thinks he is something does that make it true? I guess there will be those that argue that point as well, that yes because they feel it to be true then it is. Fortunately, my life experience keeps me away from those that think so highly of themselves and I move along.

My point in writing all of this is because I pulled an interesting card this week for Steemit. The title being Mystical Shaman. I felt the necessity to clarify that I do not practice witchcraft, shamanism, or anything on the dark side. I am an empath of varying degrees most specifically one that assists in revealing what a human soul really is on the inside. Native speak the word is called heyoka, and what my people call Medicine.

My Medicine Card Monday initiative is my positive intention to pull a card of healing or medicine for the community. This is different than tarot in that the cards I use are on the medicinal aspect of humanity other than the most common cards found in a tarot deck.

The decks I use are from the Medicine Cards that work with Spirit Animals, Mystical Shaman Oracle Cards, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards. The cards will assist in helping those interested, find comfort in things going on in our community and the world we are now dealing with. Namely, issues around the world, atmospheric, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc., maybe just something out of balance that we are feeling on any particular day.

By pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training, give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from guidebooks provided with the cards, but also give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days when we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.

The card I picked for the week of May 7, 2018, is as follows:

Starting in a sacred space with a clear mind and body I pulled Number 38, The Mystical Shaman from the Mystical Shaman Oracle deck by Alberto Villoldo, Colette Varon-Reid and Marcela Lobos.

The Reading

The Essence

The Mystical Shaman is the symbol of the myth-maker and storyteller who is neither made of nor defined by the story. This card represents someone who observes, evolves and perceives all aspects and represents the ability to dream a news story, myth, into becoming reality.

I have felt this way about Steemit from the time I first heard about it, it took me almost a year to get an account going, but in truth there is so much creativity here and we all have the ability to define our story. Make this platform become something amazing.

The Mystical Shaman dances between worlds, wearing a cloak of the world loosely around the shoulders and sings the world into being. This card reminds all of us to be in the world and travel through it, but not to become defined by it.

As we know there are serious changes taking place worldwide, there are countries being overrun, there is mass atmospheric unrest and quite literally a global war going on. Isn't that why many of us are here? We want this change to happen, many of us are tired of the old way of doing things and allowing those in power to lose their grip of control over us. We do not want to be slaves any longer!

The card that was pulled is the symbol of true alchemy, for all elements of life have a spiritual aspect. If a person denies this, then where will you be --- what will you become? When we remember this, all manner of miracles and manifestations are possible. Remember, we are all soul beings and with that comes some type of spiritualness.

The Invitation

When the Mystical Shaman appears, you're invited to consider the ability to live without attachment. You are called to create and dream your life, to act on inspiration and divine impulse without fixating on a known story of success or achievement.

As a human we continue to evolve and with that comes responsibility. We can keep creating and evolving, but do not get caught up in ego.

Can you impartially observe the stories you tell yourself and others? What if you could become a mystery to yourself? Who would you become if you stopped telling the tales that have defined you up until now?

Have you noticed how some people repeat themselves over and over and continue to promote them-self only? Every time you talk to that person it is about their life, their blog post, their issues? What about making a change and listen to others or be interested in what others have to say?

You do not have to live in a story that has roots in the past. What if there was no need to explain you to anyone, not even to yourself?

The way to your most extraordinary life is to become a blank slate and allow the form of your dreams and desires to show up, as it will. This is a sign of manifesting life beyond your wildest dreams.

The Medicine

Be careful what you pray, request, or ask for. the Mystical Shaman cautions you against relentless attachment to a certain form that you think will make you happy, prosperous, famous, loved, etc. In seeing your dream come into reality, had you considered the sacrifice?

Perhaps you have been telling yourself the same old story for so long -- the story that if you only had this or that then you would be happy. Maybe you have not noticed you are no longer that person that wanted those things. You may have moved beyond that old story.

It is time to admit that you need to imagine a new story that is in more alignment with who you have become. This is just one moment in a millions of moments in the continuum of life.

Let it go.

Let it be just a story, and move on.

Better tales are waiting to be told.

This ends the message from the Medicine card I pulled today.

I hope you liked the reading for this week. If so, please leave a comment below. I'd love to hear what you think (but not if you think it's all BS!) That's typical Eagle Spirit humor right there.

If you would like a personal 1 or 3 card Medicine Card reading the fee is:

1 SBD or 1 STEEM (If you deem the reading worth more, it will be happily accepted!)

You can find me on Discord under the same name Eagle Spirit #4491.

Have a glorious week and come back next Monday for another Medicine Card reading! Peace.

Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a First Nation member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Medicine Woman in training, first time blogger since November 2017, right here on Steemit, paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the Mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, energy work, and the Spirit World. If that’s you, please say hello!
See you soon, @eaglespirit
