BAT
EMPOWERMENT

This empowerment will attune you to the energies of Bat. The Bat is
a symbol of re-birth. For centuries it has been a treasured medicine
of Aztec, Toltec, Tolucan and maya peoples.

Hanging upside down is a symbol for learning to transform your


former self into a newborn being. The Bat also symbolizes a time of
letting go of old habits.

3
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
The Bat is connected to rebirth, longevity, secrecy & initiation, good
listener, viewing past lives, and letting go of our fears of or
misinformation that no longer serves us.

There are different species of bats, which have widely divergent


characteristics. Some are small and others are large. With one or
two exceptions, the large bats live on fruits and find their way
visually. The small bats feed mostly on insects, catching them on the
wing by a process known as echolocation in which an animal
produces sounds and listens for the echoes reflected from surfaces
and objects in the environment. When this medicine is fully
developed in man intuitive and clairaudient abilities are accurate.

When under developed psychic perception becomes clouded by


imaginings of the mind.
Studies on bats found that when they are placed in a refrigerator,
they will go into an instant state of hibernation and come out
unharmed when they are warmed, which is unique for a warm
blooded mammal. This indicates that the life force of the bat is
strong and is able to regenerate and replenish it when needed.
Those with this medicine also have this ability and would benefit
from all types of yogic practices especially those related to
awakening the kundalini.

Bat holds the power of adaptability. Everything about them, senses,


feeding, flight, mating and size is suited to their particular
environment. When bat appears in your life its message may be to
examine your surroundings to discern what bounty is being offered
to you, and then alter your patterns so you can receive it.
An out of balance bat will get scrambled and confused and will fly
into things. Are you crashing into barriers as you try to get what
you need and want in life? If so, bat may be trying to tell you to take
a moment to get your bearings and determine the relative
importance of what you are seeking.

4
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
When bat flies into your life transformation of the ego self is about
to occur. The old familiar patterns and ideas that have been your
truth are about to change. That which once worked for you may no
longer. The process of transformation represents a death and a
rebirth. The Bat offers you the wisdom necessary to make the
appropriate changes for the birthing of your new identity.
Because the bat is a sociable animal it can indicate a need for more
sociability or increased opportunity with greater numbers of
people. It has great auditory perception and can navigate through
the dark easily. Their built in sonar enables them to know what lies
beneath the surface. Those with this medicine have uncanny
abilities to discern hidden messages both from people and the
environment..
When bat appears it is asking you to surrender yourself to the
process of change. Opportunities unknown to the conscious mind
are about to manifest.

DRAGONFLY MEDICINE
EMPOWERMENT

Dragonfly embodies a stripping away of all the beliefs that say “we
can not do this or that”, or achieve a dream or goal, it is to remind
us that anything is possible when we really get the understanding
that we are part of spirit and as such we have the power to
manifest anything that we desire. The dragonfly is the keeper of
dreams, the knower within that sees all of our true potential and
ability. The dragonfly strips away the illusions that say to us we
can not achieve our dreams and goals, that we are not worthy or
capable when in fact it is our birth right and our true power to
create anything we choose!

Dragonfly also connects us with the power of colour and the


ability to work with many different colours to achieve anything we
want to experience in life. We can begin to see how the colours we
wear via our clothing, the colours that we fill our homes with, even
the colour of the car we drive is impacting us for better or worse.

Continually wearing dull drab colours while asking for more


adventures or excitement in life sends the message that we do not
really want what we are asking for. The colour we surround
6
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
ourselves with does set up a vibration that attracts circumstances
and energies that reflect back to us what messages we are
sending forth. If we want change we need to affirm that we are
ready and willing for the changes to occur through the use of
colour vibrations that match the energy we are seeking to
experience. If one wants to become better recognized for the work
one loves doing then wearing shades of red or violet will help one
achieve that. For new beginnings try wearing shades of green. To
feel more empowered try wearing shades of yellow. To feel more
deeply connected with the Universe and to develop greater
intuitive ability, all shades of blues and indigo are excellent!
Colour is a very valuable tool in expressing who we are, who we
desire to be and what we desire to experience in our lives. Look at
the world around you: All of nature sets forth its intent and
requests through the use of a vastrange of colour. A flower will
attract a pollinator through its colour. A Tree Frog may warn
predators that it is not good to eat through the colour displays on
its body. A Lion can attract a mate through the colour of his mane.
Working with Dragonfly can also teach us how to use colour to
attract that which we desire or at least, to understand what
messages we ourselves are pulling forth through the colours we
wear!

Dragonfly also teaches us how to combine emotion with rational


thought. Dragon flies in the early stages are known as Nymphs
and spend most of their lives in the water. They are voracious
predators which indicates that Dragonfly can also help one to eat
away at anything in our lives that is out of control. They are
especially helpful for addictions of all sorts including the more
"well known" addictions such as overeating, drinking to excess or
drug addictions. Yet procrastination, over spending or maxing
credit cards to the limit, day dreaming, over work and so forth can
all be addictions that rob one of the ability to create a balanced,
7
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
fulfilling life. Most if not all addictions are due to suppressed
emotional energies and traumas that are being compensated for
through the addiction. Overeating for example can be a
"medicine" for feeling unloved and Alcoholism "medicine" for
depression. When Dragonfly appears it may indicate that there are
addictions or other problems/pests that are "out of control "in
your life that need to be examined and resolved. Often the main
issue will not always be what it appears to be on the surface, it is
important to peer beneath the emotional waters so to speakin
order to understand what is really happening! Once the Dragonfly
has emerged as a winged adult, it conquers the air through its
swift flight. This indicates that working with Dragonfly energy may
also help you come to some swift conclusions or new in sights
that help propel you into new ways of being and doing. Certainly it
is a most important time for seeing through illusions and really
hearing the messages that the Universe is sending you at this
time. Beliefs that centre on powerlessness, limitation or fear are
likely to be up for review and release. You always have the power
to choose what you are going to believe in and focus on You
always have the power to take action of some sort that will help
change your current circumstances for the better. Working with
Dragonfly medicine shows that you are ready to step beyond the
mass thought of blaming "something out there "for your problems
and instead are now getting down to the business of accepting
responsibility for what happens in your life by making the
appropriate changes as you feel guided.
People who carry dragonfly medicine are often quite talented in
the use of colour for healing. They may see or sense the colours
that an individual carries in their aura and can learn how to help
the person adjust the colour rays so that one become more a part
of their own healing process rather than relying on someone else
to do the healing for them (which never works anyway!). For
example, if someone carries a heavy, murky colour of red in their
8
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
aura which may lead to power struggles, constant irritations from
others or things always going wrong, the Dragonfly person can
help that person bring in the clear reds that are more empowering
in terms of living with confidence but with out the chip on the
shoulder that begs for someone to come along and knock it off! Or
if someone has an aura that appears to be depleted of vital energy
and colour, the Dragonfly person can help this person learn to
work with drawing in all the colours of the Universe, both seen
and unseen, to repair and invigorate the aura. A simple way of
doing this is to start by focusing on all the colours of the rainbow
and to visualize them entering into the aura via the Universal flow.
This can be expanded by asking that all colours including those
our human eyes are not yet able to perceive also flow into the
aura. This can take as little as 1minute up to 20 or more to
accomplish, normally though when one has attracted enough of
this energy there is a sense of completion or "inner click" and the
person just feels done with the process. This can be done a soften
as some one feels the need and is especially helpful during times
of great stressor trauma. Colour is part of the "food" that the aura
needs to remain strong and healthy so doing this several times a
week or each day can be very uplifting and strengthening!
Dragonfly people are also very talented at helping others navigate
their own emotional waters. How often have you heard someone
say they "felt Blue" or "tickled Pink"? Our emotions have colours
just the same as our world is filled with colour. By noting what
colours one is attracted to over a cycle of time, one also can hone
in more closely on what emotions are really running the life.
Because we become so acclimated to feeling a certain way, we
may not even realize that we are depressed, feeling a low level
anger or hostility, or are in grief still over an event that occurred
many years ago. Or we may project those emotions onto others
and wonder why we are constantly attracting people that are
depressed or hostile! Dagonfly energy and people can help us get

9
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
more in touch with our felt but ignored emotions, our ways of
feeling that have become so well known to us that we don't even
realize those emotions are there! Our emotions also impact the
colours that our aura's are displaying and having a Dragonfly
person take a good close look at those colours can really helps
one release any energy that is not to their benefit while learning
how to incorporate more of the colours that will be of better
service. Once we are able to put a name to some thing, then we
can begin the process of researching the tools that will help us to
heal and move on from it. In our culture emotions are not "nice",
people are not encouraged to feel the wide range of emotions we
have been blessed with and so often the energy gets trapped or
stuffed down, especially in the lower chakras. Working with
Dragonfly energy, calling it into the lower chakras(where much of
this energy is especially trapped and then manifested through the
body) can help stir this energy up and get it moving again. It need
not be as painful as one might fear and it is always less painful
than having that energy constantly attracting more of the same to
you through its vibration! To work with this if you don't know a
Dragonfly person to help you through the process, simply call in
the energy of Dragonfly through your mind, just thinking about it
is enough and will work. Next, visualize the Dragonfly moving
through your lower chakras, infusing them with clear, brilliant
colours, the loveliest you can imagine. If you start to feel
emotional, stick with the process! Usually it does not take so long
for this energy to clear and you need to be feeling those emotions!
Cry, yell, stomp your feet, do whatever it takes to get that energy
up and out, and bear in mind that you have a powerfully working
within you and for you that us helping support you during this
process. If however you really do feel afraid or are concerned you
might "lose it", do consult with an alternative healer or other
therapist before engaging in any of this sort of healing work. It’s a

10
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
great sign of true strength and power to know we all need help
from time to time!
Dragonfly people often benefit from working with crystals that
have "rainbows" within them or stones that are brightly colored,
especially if the colors are clear and bright. Accents of color
throughout one's home can really lift the spirits of a Dragonfly
person, especially if they have been doing loads of healing work
on them selves and others.
W hen Dragonfly appears be ready for transformation! This is a
long cycle that can take up to 2 years or more and yet the work
and effort are well worth it in the end. At times you may feel like
you are fire walking your way through life (Dragon flies are really
mini Dragons after all!)and yet what is emerging from within you
is a sense of your own inner power and faith in a Higher Power
that no one can ever take from you! You are in the process of
coming to know and understand who you truly are, of connecting
with the vast source of power and energy that was given to you
by Spirit at the time your Soul came into being. This power has
grown within you as you have journeyed through space and time.
Now is the time for it to be claimed as your own so you may step
forth renewed as the powerful Soul that you came to this earth
walk to express!

GREAT HORNED OWL


EMPOWERMENT

Empowerment Of The Great Horned Owl

We begin the journey with Owl knowing some of its attributes; one
is that it teaches us about utilizing our energies to its fullest. We
also learn to listen to the silence, or what is not heart with the
physical ears. Owl sees and knows the truth. Its ability to navigate
through the darkest night and bring back nourishment for itself
and others is the foundation of this essence. When you have lost
your way, owl essence will guide you back to your proper path
and wisdom. Death and rebirth, releasing that which has outlived
its benefit and usefulness in your life, actual
physical death transition, can be placed in a bowl of water and
used to help earth bound Souls find their guides and loved ones.
Clearing a home or land of negative energy. Starting over in a
new life or releasing the ties that kept you bound to the old one.
Also to enhance clairvoyance. Let's begin our journey now of
connection with this wonderful/magical creature.

MEDITATION

12
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
Let’s begin with taking in three large deep breaths taking your
time. Breathing in through the nose and allowing the air to escape
through your mouth on each exhalation.
Breathe normally for a few minutes and again take in a deep
breath, this time through the mouth. As you take the breath in its
spiraling through ever air sac within your lungs and filling the
lungs to capacity ... hold the breath for three to four seconds and
BLOW it out until the lung is completely empty... ... begin normal
breathing but staying aware of your breath for a short time
watching the rise and fall of the abdomen.
If you are more comfortable laying down then does so, if not sit in
the lotus position or simply in a chair with feet touching the floor.
Again, this can be an individual thing. It's not so important the
position as the comfort... so make sure you feel relaxed and
comfortable.
Keep breathing normally....
And Relax...
The feathers of the great homed are softer than most birds. So lets
begin there... with calling a single feather to you. An Ethereal
feather...
Place your hands palms up and speak your request to the wind...
sit quietly and be patient... close your eyes.

BUTTERFLY
EMPOWERMENT

Metamorphosis and Transformation

Scientific research has shown that the butterfly is the only living
being capable of changing entirely its genetic structure during the
process of transformation: the caterpillar's DNA is totally different
from the butterfly's. Thus, it is the symbol of total transformation.
Butterfly represents a need for change and greater freedom, and at the
same time it represents courage: one requires courage to carry out the
changes necessary in the process of growth Its Medicine is related to
the air and the mental powers. It teaches us to find clarity in the
mental processes, to organize projects or to figure out the next step in
our internal growth. If Butterfly is your Power Animal or if you feel
in any way attracted to it, this means you are ready to undergo some
kind of transformation. Examine which stage calls your attention the
most: the egg is the beginning, the birth of some project or idea. The
larva is de decision to manifest something in the physical world. The
cocoon has to do with "going inside", either through insight or the
development of the project or idea. The breaking of the cocoon deals
with sharing the splendour of your creation with the whole world.
Once you understand the stage you are on, you can discover which is
the next step.

them...

Now, squeeze your shoulders tight.....tighter and yet tighter....hold


them for three to four seconds and release..... relax

16
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
Now your
calves.............................squeeze.....................hold.............relax

Now I want you to be aware of your feet.... Move the toes.. bring
the foot back and fourth......and then circles, several
times........................... now relax your feet....
At this point, your body should be more at ease.

I want you to close your eyes.... Relax and just allow the breath to
become your normal breathing pattern....

Now, focus on your forehead. The place between your eyes to the
area of the third eye.... Focus all of your attention there.

Looking through that third eye.... I want you to see a path...... its
winding and filled with pine needles, wild flowers and nature
sounds. Remove your shoes… As you continue to walk, you begin
to be more conscious of the sounds and smells around you..
perhaps a crow in the background.. the smell of wild violets, the
residue of seasons past under the growth of the forest.

Continue walking, just enjoy being at one with nature.. don’t try to
make this experience happen.. just allow things to unfold.

You have been walking for while now and you feel like now might
be a good time to find a spot to rest.. when you find such a place..
just sit down.. perhaps a tree to lean your back against.. very nice
indeed. Just close your eyes and relax…

Take some time and just be… try to empty you mind of busy
thoughts.. things that happened during your work day, or
problems with kids/work/bills.. just let it all go.. shhhhh be
stilled/silent.

Just relax………………….

Ok? Now that you are in a place of being set free from all of the
days tension…focus on … what is it that you wish to happen/find
on this journey. Ponder that thought for just a bit.. just relax…
be stilled, let what is to happen.. just be.
17
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006

Your eyes are still closed… and feeling very safe...

You feel a gentle breeze blowing, it touches your cheek and you
hair is being gently moved.. it’s a beautiful feeling.. safe and
welcoming.

You know why you are here, to call upon your guide, whether it be
four - legged guide or perhaps a winged one, perhaps it moves on
its belly…

You are now having the feeling that something is close to you..
your heart beat quickens in anticipation.. you feel
something/someone coming closer but still you wait to open your
eyes…. Then you feel the presence.. so close to your face that you
can actually feel the air movement/breath on your face. Still you
know there is nothing to fear…….. You may now open your
eyes…

What do you see?

Huge eyes stare back at you, it feels like they are penetrating your
very soul.

Sit silently for a few moments.. allow your power animal to make
the first communication.

Now, your power animal moves closer to you.. now touching you
with a familiar greeting and then walks to the back of you…
once again touching…You can feel the heartbeat its so close.
You then feel yourself merge/melting with the jaguar… it begins at
the base of the spine (exactly at the tailbone/coccyx) it begins with
18
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
a slight tingle as it touches/moves up your spine…moving
upward…slowly…you feel your body changing…. Changing……
and where there were two hands and two feet.. there are now four
paws…. Your skin now covered with soft fur and your eyes
becoming more keen as is your sense of smell. Everything
around you has taken on a new meaning/look… never before had
you realized the true beauty of nature the way you are seeing it
now. Never before have you experienced all the smells and touch
of nature..

Spend some time walking around in nature in your new skin,


remembering that you will have to return to your old form soon
but for now.. just be who you really are and know that The jaguar
will always be a part of you. many other totem helpers may come
your way to teach you of their medicine and to assist you along
your journey.. they will come and go as needed but never again
will you journey without the help and guidance of the Jaguar.

Roar!!!!!! Feel the vibration it creates within you. Try to imitate


the sound of the jaguar.. feel it first in your throat..it will be a strain
for you in the beginning… but you can find it… let it go!
R O A R…… take it to your deepest pitch that your vocal cords
will allow…………..feel it vibrating your entire body… R O A R
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel it!! Be it!!!!!!!!!!
Now begin moving around as the jaguar.. feeling the muscles in
your body move in rhythm… begin the dance of the jaguar… you
can feel the strength of the muscles in your legs.. as you begin a
spiral inward…. Moving toward a place of knowing. Spiraling until
you reach the center.
Upon reaching the center.. you are at a place of secrets hidden..

Begin the spiral once more, taking with you knowledge of this
journey.. but also leaving behind the old self.. the one that carried
a lot of heavy baggage on her back at the beginning of the spiral.
Keep walking… until you have returned to the place you began.

It is time……….. you must return to your original form. Know that


you may return when you need to, but remember….. beneath your
skin lives the jaguar…

SPIDER MEDICINE
EMPOWERMENT

Spider medicine is the medicine of the master weaver. Spider


wove the alphabet, and brought the ability for man to
communicate, and record their history through language. It is
through Spiders weaving that the creative forces bring forth the
beautiful intricate patterns of our lives. Spider medicine reminds
us that it is not ourselves, but the Universe which has the design
for the fabric of our lives.

"In the beginning, there was the dark purple light at


the dawn of being. Spider Woman spun a line to form
the east, west, north, and south. Breath entered man
at the time of the yellow light. At the time of the
red light, man proudly faced his creator. "

26
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
Spider Woman used the clay of the earth, red, yellow,
white, and black, to create people. To each she attached
a thread of her web which came from the doorway at
the top of her head. This thread was the gift of
creative wisdom. Three times she sent a great flood to
destroy those who had forgotten the gift of her thread.
Those who remembered floated to the new world and climbed
to safety through the Sipapu Pole the womb of Mother Earth."

~Navajo Creation Story~

Creativity
Many Native American tribes have Creation stories that include
Grandmother Spider as the Creator who spun the ~Web of
Physical Life.~ It is upon the glistening strands of this Web that
all life is interconnected, with each creature being (two-legged,
four legged, winged or creepy-crawly), Standing Person (tree),
Stone Person, and all other forms of life, a vital and integral
strand in this most beautiful and sacred Web.
To watch the Spider weave her web is to behold a beautiful
artisan crafting a masterpiece of art. The intricate yet interwoven
strands are paradoxically complex yet simple, bespeaking of an
innate understanding that each Individual fiber is crucial to the
balance and completion of the Whole.
What is more stunning than to walk upon a Web unexpectedly as
it glistens in the center of a primordial forest, or to see the threads
of the same web after a spring shower, tiny raindrops of water
caught in the web and glittering as though thousands of tiny
diamonds have been left behind, scattered carelessly by the sun.
Such creativity is breathtaking to behold, a testament in
27
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
miniature to the Creativity of the Great Spirit and the loving
guidance of the Earth Mother.
?***For the two-legged beside whom Spider crawls, there will
exist a depth of creativity that may manifest in any of a myriad of
ways. Perhaps the talent is in writing prose that conveys depth of
feeling and spirituality, or it may be the human counterpart is
particularly skilled at creating beautiful and intricate jewelry that
will often have an etheric quality to them, much like glimmering
strands of a spider’s web.
Whatever channel this creativity flows through, it is a quality and
gift that must be expressed and allowed the freedom to flow. If
creativity is not acknowledged in the Spider individual, then a
very necessary and integral part of their Life’s Purpose is being
denied.
Such creativity is divinely inspired and a Gift that is given by the
Great Mystery. The paradox in thisfor the Spider individual may
be that they will deny an awareness of their own creativity for
many years in deference to other areas of their lives which seem
to call for attention. Often, the area that distracts the Spider soul
most often is that of relationships as much like Grandmother
Spider was forever aware of her Children, so the two-legged with
this creature being as a Totem will tend to focus much of their
attention on loved ones rather than nurturing and fulfilling their
own needs. Yet if the Spider Soul does not give license to this
creative spark, it will feel as though their life’s blood is slowly
ebbing away or they are being "drained" of energy.
For the parent who has a young spider, all effort must be taken to
encourage the child to develop their own individuality. Whatever
form the Spider exhibits their proclivity for creative genius, that
creativity ought to be enthusiastically encouraged, for this will be
teaching the sensitive soul the importance of self-love and self-
nurturing, while simultaneously gifting the World with the

28
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
remarkable beauty these souls have come onto the Wheel to
share.
As an adult, it is important that Spider Soul indulge in creativity.
If the Spider is one of your Primary Totems (Power, Theme or
Mission), and you are not currently aware or recognizing of the
fact that you possess creative talent, it is crucial to discover the
buried talent and give it wings with which to fly. In so doing, the
Soul is in greater alignment to the Purpose and Beauty of the
individual Life Path.***

COMMUNICATION
Another area in which Spider has been recognized as being a
Creative Force, is in communication of all forms. The Senneca
People believe that Spider created the first alphabet of the Two-
Leggeds so that we could leave a written history of our travel,
lessons learned and progress made on this walk around the Wheel
of Life. Following is a recounting of the story behind the creation
of that alphabet.
“Spider wove the web that brought humans
the first picture of the alphabet.
The letters were part of the angles of her web.
Deer asked Spider what she was weaving
and why all the lines looked like symbols.
Spider replied, "Why Deer, it is time for Earth’s children
to learn to make records of their progress in their Earthwalk."
Deer answered Spider, "But they already have pictures
that show through symbols the stories of their experiences."
"Yes" Spider said, "But Earth’s children are growing more
complex,

29
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
and their future generations will need to know more.
The ones to come won’t remember how
to read the petroglyphs."
***When Spider is present as a Primary Totem, she will bring
with her a gift of communication. Most often, this skill is
conveyed via the written word, rather than orally delivered, as
Spider Souls can be quite shy, though they are capable of weaving
beautiful words in the form of poetry or fiction (think of a Spider
spinning its web), that can leave the reader spellbound and
enraptured.
If this talent is not obviously present, it has likely been repressed
during early childhood. If this is the case, concentrated effort will
need to be taken in resurrecting this suppressed talent, as part of
what any Spider Soul is here to do, is to convey profound insight
and wisdom via the written word. Again, this can be paradoxical,
as often times the one beside whom Spider walks will be rather
oblivious as to the true power of his/her words and ability to elicit
strong emotions.
Parents and loved ones of Spider Souls should take great pains to
encourage their child, spouse, or loved one, to explore writing. As
sensual beings, the Spider individual will enjoy being given a
special journal or book with textured paper, or a special pen with
which they can jot down their thoughts, dreams, poetry and vivid
plot scenarios.
Dreams are also an important area of the Spider's life and they
should pay special attention to their dreams. The Dreamweaver
is a spider, and often it is through the slumbering hours and
astral voyages that the Spider Soul will receive
his/her greatest messages and insights. Keeping a special dream
journal beside the bed to quickly scribble details of especially
vivid dreams prior to having them fade in the morning light, is
supremely beneficial to both the spirit and creative spark of the

30
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
one beside whom Spider crawls. If not a journal kept beside the
bed,
then a tape recorder in which the dream can be quickly related as
a recording, to be transcribed via handwritten or typed format
later.***

ILLUSION

As the ~Master Weaver,~ Spider spins a web of stunning


intricacy and profound beauty. Such artistry is at the very
core of many myths and legends that wind their way across
every time and throughout nearly every culture, much like
the glimmering strands of Spider’s Web.

In Native American tradition, the Dream Catcher is a


representation of Spider’s Web. Upon the arrival of a new
infant, a Dream Catcher is placed above the sleeping child,
the threads of which are formed from sinew and fashioned
in a beautiful flowering that can contain anywhere from
five to ten individual “petals” with a small hole at its
center. It is believed that the intricate pattern of the
strands, attract bad dreams and energies to fall upon
them. Once the negative dreams are upon the “web,” they
struggle to break free and only further entangle themselves

31
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
where they will be held until morning when the Sun’s rays
will dissolve them. Good dreams and energy meanwhile,
are allowed to slip through the center where they will
travel along the beads and feathers to fall gently upon the
slumbering baby below.

***The two-legged beside whom Spider journeys, will


possess a certain illusive and mysterious quality that is
almost magical in its glamor. Indeed, Illusion in all its
forms will be a key theme in the life of the Spider Soul.
Often, some of the most dazzling magicians share the
Earthwalk with Spider as a Primary Totem with Spider
assisting them in weaving a magic spell that enraptures a
willing audience. Likewise, Spider is frequently evident as
a Totem in the lives of actors and actresses, poets, basket
and blanket weavers and artists of many kinds whose
glamor is part illusion, part reality.

When operating from its Lower Vibration, the two-legged


is caught in the strands of the personality center wherein
unresolved issues that have not been acknowledged and
addressed will manifest in a variety of ways. For some
Spider individuals operating from this tangled center, lies,
omissions and untruths will be spoken and woven with a
complexity that is stunning to behold. Not only are these
Spider types able to spin lies and half-truths, but they do so
in such a skillful manner that others believe them. Only
once this tendency to weave tall tales is acknowledged in
blatant self-honesty and addressed, may the Higher
Vibrations be given life and the Spider individual steps free
of the deceitful past into a new light of Conscious
Awareness.
32
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
Yet for those Spider Souls operating from the higher
vibration, the result is watching a master artisan at work.
These are the sensitive and nurturing souls that create a
beautiful expression and vision that entices Others to reach
for the best within themselves. In this way, Spider and
Two-legged merge in a mission of bringing beauty and
enlightenment to the All.***

DRAGON EMPOWERMENT

Dragons are referred to as divine , mythical creatures that


bring with them ultimate abundance, prosperity and good
fortune.
The Dragon symbolises power and excellence, heroism and
perseverance. A Dragon overcomes obstacles until
success is his. He is energetic, decisive, optimistic, intelligent
and ambitious.

On the spiritual path, the Dragon energy symbolised the


power to fight against evil and the will to protect people.

Dragons bring physical and spiritual strength.

So, these are the attributes that you are receiving when you
are empowered with the energy of the Dragon.

CROW
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006

EMPOWERMENT

Crow is the medicine of the "Universal Law." If you


are blessed with the medicine of Crow you are so in tune with the
law of the universe you are able to bend the law of the physical
universe. Those who possess Crow medicine are given the duty of
protecting the sacred universal law.

CROW WISDOM INCLUDES:

• Guardian of the place before existence


• Ability to move in space and time
• Honoring ancestors
• Carrier of souls from darkness into light
• Working without fear in darkness
• Guidance while working in shadow
• Moves freely in the void
• Understands all things related to ethics
• Shapeshifter

CROW

36
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
Keeper of the Sacred Law
Crows are the keepers of the Sacred
Law
and to have a Crow totem is very
powerful.

Personal Integrity are your


watchwords
and your guide in Life.
If you have a Crow totem, your prime
path
is to be mindful of your opinions and
actions.
You must be willing to walk your talk,
to speak your truth and to know your
life's mission.

Crow is a omen of Change.


Crow lives in the void and has no sense of time,
therefore, it sees past, present and future simultaneously.
Crow merges both light and dark, both inner and outer.
It is the totem of the Great Spirit
and must be respected as such.

They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength.


Look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life.
Crows are messengers calling to us
about the creation and magic that is alive in the world today
and available to us.

Crows & Ravens As Totems


Crows and Ravens are from the same family and the only real
physical difference between the two is their size. Ravens tend to be
much larger and are found mainly in wilderness areas although I
have seen several near my home. Ravens also carry medicine that is
slightly different than that of Crows, which I will cover in another
article. The following though will relate to both.

Both Ravens and Crows associate with Wolves as well so those who
have these birds as Totems are also likely to have Wolf as a Totem
as well.

Crows and Ravens are extremely intelligent. They can learn to use
tools, develop complex communication with humans and other
species. They are wonderful for psychic protection and will literally
mob together to drive off negative energy from those they care for.
They are also called thieves in that they will nick jewelry, coins,
watches, anything shiny that catches their attention. One friend of
mine living in a flat in LA said that for several months people had
been complaining that someone was nicking their valuables. All
kinds of jewelry, pens, coins, anything left outside on a table or near
an open window was disappearing right and left. A maintenance
worker was clearing off some old growth from one of the palm trees
when he discovered a nest filled with everything people had been
missing! Months later on someone saw a Crow making off with a
gold chain, back up to the top of the palm tree.

Those who carry Crow/Raven medicine once they become attuned to


it, can begin drawing what they need and value into their own lives.
They also have the ability to teach others how to learn to value
themselves and others, to go for the gold, the best in one's life and to
be open to receive from the Universe.
Crows/Ravens are also well known for their curiosity and intense

38
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
exploration of anything that catches their attention. So when
Crows/Ravens or people who carry their medicine show up in your
life it can indicate that now is the time to explore those things that
have recently caught your eye or that something new is about to
enter your life that is beneficial for you so pay attention!
Crows/Ravens are always on the lookout as part of their survival
mechanisms and it behooves us to also pay attention when they
appear as the Universe is trying to tell us something.

Crows are very social and band together for the good of the group
so this is an indication that we need to work with and cooperate with
others of like mind in order to bring about blessings for all beings.
Crows and Ravens look out for one another and they also warn
other animals when danger is near. Frequently they drive hunters
mad because they are always warning Deer and Elk that the hunters
are near! When a Crow or Raven is shrieking loudly near you,
check around to see if someone or something that could be
"harmful" is in the area. Of course when they call like that it can
mean many things yet over time once you work with them frequently
you will begin to understand what their messages mean to you
specifically.
Many times when I am outside I will be thinking about something to
do with my work or a friend and if the Crows start calling to me, I
know it's a heads up that something needs to be attended to in that
area of my life. They even make comments when I am situating new
plants in the garden. If I place it one area and they are quiet, I know
it's not the right place so I keep moving the plant until they start
shrieking at me. The plants always do well when I follow their
advice!

This is some of the behavior I have noticed with my own Crows.


Some of it has taken me a while to decipher and I am sure I have
only scratched the surface as it is! I know that when they are
speaking among themselves the conversation probably starts off
something like "That silly woman! The Grandfathers keep insisting

39
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
she's a shaman, yet look at all the messes we have to pull her out of!
Almost got myself run over on the street today trying to get her
attention!"

Many has been the time I have been walking along only to have a
Crow fly down into the middle of a street, in the path of oncoming
traffic, banging it's beak on the ground, with me dancing around on
the pavement, waving my arms and yelling at it to get out of the
street! At first I really did think that perhaps they found great
amusement in making me look a fool, yet then I realized that every
time it happened, there was an important message that the Universe
was trying to get through to me. One instance that really sticks in
my mind was when they were trying to warn me of serious physical
danger. The poor Crow was almost hit by a car, barely managing to
get out of the way in time. I was very shaken, especially as he then
followed me down the street cawing rather frantically at me. Had I
heeded the warning I could have saved myself not only a great deal
of heartache but avoided a very threatening situation coming from
someone I thought I could trust. I had just left a the flat of a friend I
was visiting when this happened and I even heard the Crow saying
"Go Back! Go Back!" Well, silly me I thought the Crow meant to
go back to the flat. In a way he did, go back, grab your stuff and get
the hell outta there! The Grandfathers had tried to warn me, even in
dreams I had, yet I ignored the messages. Finally as a last resort a
Crow literally almost gave up his life to get my attention. This
speaks of the amazingly strong bond and love our Totems have for
us and why we should honor them in any way that is appropriate for
them and us.

What else was interesting about this was normally when they do
what I call their "dance" there is another Crow perched overhead
on a wire or tree branch. This time there was only the one. When
there are two or more I have found for me it is a good time to take
some kind of risk or action as there is support and a focus being
held for me to follow through and to insure a good outcome. The

40
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
more Crows in the area the more support that is being offered.

I have also found that when a Crow is cawing and then turns say to
the south, then I know there is an important message coming to me
from someone south of me. If they tap on the phone wires then I
know it is coming via email or phone. Usually if it's by phone, they
tap only once or twice. Email, it's usually a head bangers ball going
on up there, LOL!

Many people have mentioned to me that they know something is


wrong with me if the Crows in their area are very quiet or especially
noisy! Those are the times when I start getting numerous emails or
phone calls asking me "what's wrong, the Crows are acting oddly so
I know something is wrong with you!" And they are right! I have
some very dear friends, Ted and Annie. If the Crows get too noisy
over at Ted and Annie's, Ted will ask Annie to ring me so I can tell
them to be quiet!

If you hear a Crow calling at night, that is a MAJOR heads up as


night time is Owl time and Owls are enemies of the Crow. Owls prey
on Crows at night when they are in their nests and so Crows are
especially careful to be quiet when night time falls. This is a good
message for those who carry Crow/Raven medicine: if you sense a
predator might be near, be silent and still and wait for the situation
to pass. Taking no action at those times is the best course of action.
Some people who carry Crow/Raven medicine also carry Owl
medicine as well. In fact, if you have one bird as a totem in actuality
you may have a whole flock of birds as totems!

Another way I work with my Crows is to ask them questions about


anything and everything. I phrase it so it can be answered yes or no.
If it 's yes, I get a frantic cawing even before I complete the
question. If it's no, dead silence even if they had been very noisy
moments before. They even help me situate new plants in the
garden, if I set one down somewhere and they start cawing I know

41
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
that's the right place. Silence means to try a different area. They are
always right as every plant I have situated following their advice has
thrived where the ones that were placed according to my judgement
either died or had to be moved. Usually to where the crows thought
best in the first place, very sheepish grin!

My Crows also love the rain here. It can be pouring buckets outside
and they are all out there splashing in the puddles, chasing each
other down the pavement and spreading their wings and feathers to
catch more of the rain then shaking it off again. People who carry
Crow/Raven medicine often greatly benefit from washing their
hands and faces frequently as water is a wonderful cleanser of
negative energy. Since often Crow/Raven people are also navigators
of the darkness or the underworld, it is important that these people
clear their energy fields frequently so as not to take on any energy
that is not their own. It also helps if you are trying to clear issues or
problems in your life to add a few drops of a Crow or Raven essence
to a salt water bath or even setting some Crow feathers near the tub
will also do the trick. For nightmares a Crow fetish, feathers or
essence even pictures of Crows or Ravens can help drive the
nightmares away. It is important though to examine why you may
be having nightmares and ask for guidance as how to resolve the
issue.

I also place Crow feathers around the yard and garden as we live in
a rather "colorful" area of Portland. As a result Ken's car and our
home has not been broken into or vandalized the way our neighbors
have. I have mentioned this to neighbors I thought would be
receptive to the idea of asking the Crows for help and things have
settled down somewhat so perhaps they have followed through.
Annie and I started what we are calling the Wayward Crow Society
in honour of the Crows who look in my windows and when I catch
them at it, they act very nonchalant, walking away like " oh no, we
would NEVER be looking in on you!" Right mates, VBG! This is an
indication that sometimes it is best to keep what you are doing under

42
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
wraps until the time is right to let others see what you are up to. All
of the metaphysical traditions I am aware of say that it is important
to allow energy and power to build inside of you when you are in the
process of manifesting something important to you. Talking about it
can dissipate the energy which is why it helps to talk about one's
problems! Of course talking about problems too much can actually
help to recreate them over and over in your life as you are putting
emphasis and awareness on them. What I have found for myself
and many of the people I work with is when an issue first comes up
it is helpful to allow it to "churn" in your mind over a period of
time, not resisting it, but journaling or talking to someone you can
trust about it until you begin to sense completion around it.
Sometimes what may also happen is that the conscious mind
becomes so exhausted by it that it is turned over to the subconscious
mind for resolution and release. Since the subconscious is where
our intuition lives, we may find answers or healing in dreams or a
sudden breakthrough by following a "hunch" or inner prompting.
Over time you can learn what the right balance is for you to help
clear the issue without recreating it so trust what you feel is right
and best for you!

Crows are also associated with magic and mysticism as Ted


Andrews covers very well in his book "Animal -Speak" and the
"Animal Wise Tarot".

43
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006
EMPOWERMENT/INITIATION PROCEDURE
To send an animal empowerment to someone first you find a place
where you will be undisturbed for a 15-20 minutes.

Sit or lay down and make yourself as comfortable as you can.


Close your eyes and meditate for 5-10 minutes to gain a energetic
connection with the student.

Visualise a Blue Orb of protection surrounding you and the person


receiving the attunement.

EMPOWERMENT SUGGESTIONS

The great horned owl empowerment can be done while


drumming, and wearing an Owl Amulet.
One will be drumming for approximately 30 minutes, but it
may continue past that time for you. Although you do not
need to drum for the empowerment to take effect, this is
purely a suggestion.

44
ANIMAL EMPOWERMENTS 2006

EMPOWERMENT PROCEDURE
The following procedure is to be done separately for each Animal
Empowerment.

Say the following either a loud or silently to yourself:

I Call upon the (energies/spirit of the animal) and ask this animal
spirit/energy to be present so that (Students Name) may receive the (name
of empowerment).

Ask your Higher Self in a prayer and with intention that the student will be
Empowered to the Energy of that Animal.

Visualise the energies/spirit of the animal entering the student energy field
becoming one with them.

Ask the (Name of the Animal) to be there for the Student to guide and help
them whenever the student calls upon them.

Thank the energies/spirit of the animal

That’s all! The attunement is complete.
