Got a rooster carving for my altar guardian! I have a beautiful owl statue but I found it may not be the best animal to call upon for the folklore of my Acadian, Quebecois and Innu ancestors. The rooster, I chose mostly because in Catholic folklore, it’s a bird of vigilence, predicting weather patterns (think traditional weathervanes!) and protection from bad energies.

Also, a good Louis Riel day to you (tomorrow) and Métis Week coming up!

Ran into this gorgeous beauty on my way to the mailbox. Seldom seen due their brief lifespan, luna moths represent transformation, rebirth, heightened awareness and intuition, and a continuing quest for knowledge and truth. To encounter one signals a time of abundance, renewal, and success, and of finding something rare and precious. Good news overall! Also cements my need for this to be my next tattoo.... #witchylife #witchythings #lunamoth #omens #animalsymbolism https://www.instagram.com/p/CARB_XpHi7q/?igshid=1iwkb3pgup87c

This is my only tattoo. It's a hawk. I posted this because the bird theme showed up in my life again today while walking with @culaw96. I was explaining in great detail why I think I have a particular problem with pain in my hip and shoulder. The explanation had something to do with an old, deeply ingrained belief that I always need to be on guard and that life isn't going to take care of me. As I am explaining myself, he points up to the sky and says "do you see that"? I look up and there is a white hawk carrying a snake. He then says, "isn't it interesting that while you are talking about life not taking care of you that this hawk shows up with food in its mouth"? It is quite interesting. It's also nice to have people in our lives who will gently correct us when we move away from what we are wanting to create for ourselves.

The fifty-fourth card of the Tarot is associated with the last ten degrees of Libra- Mercury in Libra. Air + earth. It could be a child-like mind, curiosity, fast learning, restlessness or a short attention span. There’s an innocence, airiness and lightheartedness to the symbolism. There’s kindness and compassion (though it could also be ruthlessly honest statements), and a link to social justice. It may be the learning of languages, the world of schools and libraries, media through which verbal communications are delivered. It could be art criticism, storytelling or interpreting. It is also the use of the hands to articulate- formal or informal sign language. It might represent a person who aids in networking or assists with marketing. It may signify incoming messages or delivering news.

The hummingbird is a symbol for play, joy, healing, good luck, speed and agility. Foxtail grass represents mystery and the instinctive, untamed side of nature. It’s linked to Mercury (dualistic + dry/hands, arms, shoulders, lungs, nervous system, brain). Its grains are a source of protein, carbohydrates and fiber. They’re edible raw, but are hard and possibly bitter. Boiling the grains can soften them and take away the bitterness.

The twenty-fifth card of the Tarot is associated with the season of Spring. Fire + air. This card brings up a fast, sweeping energy. It’s movement, action and dynamic change. It’s focused, but can spread rapidly to many places. Wild fire. With this symbolism, it’s important to remain sensitive to our needs and those of others, not be so carried away with an endeavor that patience and kindness are compromised. Ideally, it’s anchored in a deeper sense of purpose. We must maintain the ability to see from the perspectives of others, and to keep a larger vantage point. A physical outlet for excess energy is very helpful, as well as calming practices like meditation, and herbs like lavender and chamomile.

Dragonflies symbolize free spirit, swiftness, change, adaptability, strength, courage and intuition. Lavender can represent tranquility, peace, healing, purification and wisdom. It’s linked to Mercury (dualistic + dry/hands, arms, shoulders, lungs, nervous system, brain). It can be used to treat anxiety/depression, restlessness and insomnia. Topically, it has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help to heal skin irritations, bites, rashes or cuts, and acne.
