Daily Reading - Slow Down and Let Your True Self Shine

Today we are reminded of the story of the turtle and the hare. Faster isn’t always better. Take a step back today and look at the big picture. Focus and see the details you may be missing.  Let your true self shine today and show the world who you really are and what you can truly accomplish by moving to the beat of your own drum.  Some of those around you may not like the true you but that is there issue, not yours.  You have the ability to shine and feel the freedom of self-discovery, so like the snake, shed your old skin and let the new you come through! Connect to Mother Earth today, ask her for assistance and success will follow.


The Winged Enchantment Oracle – Woodpecker
I am Woodpecker, the rhythm of the ancients and the heartbeat of the earth. I am drummer. I am the percussion of life. I am the one who digs deep and finds secrets hidden within. I am in tune with the world and allow my echoes to lead me to the hearts of the world. I can dredge up those things forgotten. I can call out that which hides. Know that everything has a time, a beast of its own. Know that there are always more layers beneath the surface. I have come to change the pace and alert you to something new on the horizon. Align yourself now with what needs to be rather than what has fallen out of sync. Look to where your heart pulls you and let it play out. Find the new beat of your life. There is great power in re-alignment.

Medicine Cards – Turtle
Turtle buries its thoughts, like its eggs, in the sand, and allows the sun to hatch the little ones. This teaches you to develop your ideas before bringing them out in the light. Look at the old fable of the tortoise and the hare, and decide for yourself whether or not you would like to align with Turtle. Bigger, stronger, and faster are not always the best ways to get to a goal. When you arrive, you may be asked where you’ve been and you may not be able to remember. In that case, arriving prematurely can make you feel very immature. If you draw the Turtle card, it augurs time of connecting with the power of Earth and the Mother-Goddess within. This is a reminder of the ally you have in Mother Earth. It does not matter what situation you have created: ask her for assistance and abundance will follow.

Spirit of the Wheel Oracle – Freeze Up Moon
Like the snake shedding its skin, Free Up Moon represents letting go of the outworn roles to reveal your true identity. It is very easy to get caught up in playing the roles prescribed by others. If you continue to play along, sacrificing your true self, soon or later you will lose yourself. The Freeze Up Moon card signifies an opportunity to get back in touch with your inner self. Courage and patience are required to let go of the roles that have been smothering your inner light. Shedding the old skin may leave you feeling somewhat vulnerable.  The people around you, who have grown accustomed to your old roles, may resist this change. Remember this is their fear and uncertainty, not yours. Stand firm. Listen to your higher self and let it guide you along your path of self-discovery. As you allow the parts of your true identity to emerge you will feel your spirits lighten. There is real freedom in true creative expression.
Now is the time to let go of the roles that limit your potential and take up the call to explore and express your true self.
