Spirit of Healing
In the long-distant past, when humans lived very close to nature, in huts, yurts and tepees, danger was all around. Not just with predatory animals but with plants that were poisonous. They needed healers frequently and they turned to the shaman for help.
Using their knowledge of healings plants and potions, the shaman would help to heal the physical body.
The appearance of this card does not speak to the body, it speaks to the spirit and the soul. The spirit and soul are our inner life force, it is the essential spark inside us that carries us forward, it is what makes each of us different and it is the creative energy that helps us accept and succeed at challenges.
For some of there has been hurt and damage to the soul or spirit. It could have been caused by a failed relationship, a friendship that cannot continue. It might even be diagnosis of a serious disease.
The Spirit of Healing shaman card is sent to you to seek out the spiritual and soul healing needed to move past what has hurt you, damaged you.
The shaman journeys to the different realms, Upper, Lower and even the Underworld seeking healing that cannot be applied to the physical self to make us whole again.
Now is the time to make space in the world and relax, get in touch with the hurt and understand that you can learn from it and that learning will give you energy to move forward with your life again.
Shaman of Courage
Courage is a fundamental attribute of each human being, each spirit and soul that inhabits the physical shell. It takes courage to be in charge at work, at home or on the soccer pitch.
Without courage we do not move forward, we see the risk and disadvantage, the negative outcome rather than the possibility of success and advancement.
Even things that seem natural such as getting married and starting a family requires courage.
Outward challenges and demonstrations of courage and success are the opposite of what is inside many of us; doubts, fears, anxiety, and stress.
The card comes to remind you, as does your spiritual shaman, that you have within you what you need to succeed.
You need to shed the fear of showing your essential strength and reaching out to grasp the future you were intended to have.
