Shaman of Song
Song is beauty and it is ritual. Song was an intimate part of a Shaman and the healing sessions they performed. Song allowed the shaman to express their journey to provide healing to the individual, family and tribe. Song is an expression of inner self and creativity, beauty and expression of the singer’s soul and spirit.
If you do not sing let the song you want to sing, be something within you. Touching your inner self and being. Whistle a tune as you work, even if it is not a very good tune, your spirit knows what it is you want to express.
The song you sing may not be an actual song, it can be the expression of your life in some way that brightens your life and those around you. Do you make bread and do it very well? That can be your song. Giving food and sustenance to yourself and others is a song.
Now is the time to look at your own song what it means on to you. Enjoy!
Spirit of Destruction
Destruction means an end to something that once was of value. In tarot it refers to the ending of a cycle that no longer serves us.
To the shaman it means the ending of inner turmoil and frustration. The soul and spirit are agitated, hurt, damaged, plagued with guilt, resentment, and anger.
To move forward you must recognize these challenges and damaging patterns. Resolve to end these feelings no matter how they were caused. You cannot move along your life path if you carry this baggage. It saps your energy and magnifies itself as you deal on these negative feelings.
Find a quiet space, preferably amongst nature and look at the life around you, animals, insects and plants. They grow and move without judgment and do not dwell on negative events. Learn from them, plants do not grow where the ground is rocky and the soil is bad for them, they grow where the soil is rich and fertile. Animals search for food where there is abundance. When they find food, they eat what they need to survive, not in excess.
It is your time to leave the negativity within you behind. Recognize it and the cause and resolve to go where the world is abundant and you can grow and be happy and successful.
