The Universe Is Smiling: "Transmutation"

Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Change is in the air :) Transmute your energy!

The wisdom of SNAKE:
"Snake teachings are profound and magical. In cultures around the world snake teaches us to transmute our difficulties and challenges, whether they be sexual, psychic, physical, emotional or spiritual. The power of snake medicine is the power of creation and the transmutation of the fire medicine. (This medicine embodies sexuality, reproduction and ascension.) In this dance of fire and chaos we learn to accept every aspect of ourselves and learn to transform thoughts, feelings, actions and desires so that wholeness can be achieved. This wild dance of creation allows us to shed the skins of ego and past so we can become the creators of our own lives, as we disintegrate the old and transmute the energy we hold, accepting the power of fire within.
Snake comes to you at a time when you are heading for change. You are ready to explore the mysterious, whether in the physical world or in the depths of the mind and soul. Snake medicine knows the power of renewal. This death and rebirth cycle is part of what snake represents. It has ties and significance to the ancient alchemists and their symbolic transmutation of lead into gold. This is associated with higher wisdom that comes with the passing of time. The ability of the snake is to move between the realms of the living and the dead. With this energy we are able to see the world from an entirely new perspective."

The Universe Is Smiling: "Transmutation"

Happy WATER-SNAKE year!

SNAKE = Transmutation

"...The power of snake medicine is the power of creation, for it embodies sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction, and ascension (or immortality).
The transmutation of the life-death-rebirth cycle is exemplified by the shedding of Snake's skin. It is the energy of wholeness, cosmic consciousness, and the ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance. It is the knowledge that all things are equal in creation, and that those things which might be experienced as poiison can be eaten, ingested, integrated, and transmuted if one has the proper state of mind....
 This medicine teaches you on a personal level that you are a universal being. Through accepting all aspects of your life, you can bring about the transmutation of the fire medicine. This fire energy, when functioning on the material plane, creates passion, desire, procreation, and physical vitality. On the emotional plane, it becomes ambition, creation, resolution, and dreams. On the mental plane it becomes intellect, power, charisma, and leadership. When this snake energy reaches the spiritual plane, it becomes wisdom, understanding, wholeness, and connection to the Great Spirit...."

The Universe Is Smiling: "Rebirth: Becoming Your Future"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

Q: "What is today's wisdom?"

A: "Rebirth: Becoming Your Future."

"Bat...symbolizes the need for a ritualistic death of some way of life that no longer suits your new growth pattern. This can mean a time of letting go of old habits, and of assuming the position in life that prepares you for rebirth, on in some cases initiation... If you resist your destiny, it can be a long, drawn out, or painful death. The universe is always asking you to grow and become your future."

- "Medicine Cards" by Jamie Sams & David Carson 

 

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

- Eleanor Roosevelt
