There was a time I associated the serpent with Satan, many of us learn this if we were raised Christian and have read the book of Genesis, Chapter 3. However, with our own life experience we begin to reason and develop our own decisions. One train of thought that I choose to prescribe to is that the serpent is not an evil or a dark entity and in actuality an amazing creature.
If you haven't guessed yet, the card I pulled for Steemit this week is The Serpent.
When we start to explore the term serpent, throughout many cultures the snake represents many different things. For instance, in German mythology the serpent is an enemy of Thor, in Hindu mythology the serpent are considered a member class of semi-divine beings, of course my favorite since becoming more acquainted with my ancient's history are the Hopi believe that serpents engenders rainfall and fecundity upon the high desert.
When we think of our weekly message from the Oracle let's ponder the serpent as a creature who is here to bring us medicine and something we may need to see within ourselves to improve upon, possibly change, or facts to take into consideration as we move along this path we call life and not a sinister message.
All of my readings are geared towards a healing; breaking through mental, spiritual, or emotional blocks that will assist us in overcoming every day obstacles.
If this is your first time swinging by, my Medicine Card Monday initiative is my positive intention to pull a card of healing or medicine for the community. This is different than tarot in that the cards I use are on the medicinal aspect of humanity other than the most common cards found in a tarot deck.
The decks I use are The Wild Unknown - Animal Spirit, Mystical Shaman Oracle, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle. The cards will assist in helping those interested, find comfort in things going on in our community and the world we are now dealing with. Namely, issues around the world, astronomical, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc., maybe just something out of balance that we are feeling on any particular day that needs guidance.
By pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training, give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from guidebooks provided with the cards, but primarily give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days when we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.
The Card
The Meaning
The serpent represents healing, transformation, life changes and is connected to life force or primal energy. This transformation can be physical, spiritual, or emotional.
The Message
The Essence
The Serpent is the life force of Mother Earth. The coiled serpent of the Kundalini brings passion, healing, and renewal. She offers us the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, and reminds us to shed the past the ways she sheds her tired, old skin. Serpent comes to offer you the forbidden fruit that will set your passion and creativity free.
The Invitation
The Serpent power of the Kundalini is stirring within your chakras, gently asking you to embrace its mystery. Shed the old skin that you have been so attached to, and welcome the vulnerable pink underbelly that will bring you a fresh experience of your life. Your passion and sexuality are awakening, and this can be scary. Trust the wisdom of Serpent to transform your sensual energies into beautiful, original manifestations.
The Medicine
When you shed the past gracefully, life will not strip it away with great drama --- indeed, that is something you want to avoid. Do not use your energies to seduce others, or allow yourself to be seduced, even by your own ideas!
What we see here is a message calling to our creativity and release our past gracefully. We are returning coming out of the month of August, a month of astrological upset. Meaning this past month was a time where relationships may have been broken, arguments ensued, and we had to regroup. This message is reminding us to allow all of that to go gracefully and move on. Allow the change to take place and open up to new and creative opportunities.
Eagle Spirit's Medicine
With this reading I send out a Native American medicine song to all who read this post. This is a song we sing when the Lakota come to Ute land for our monthly medicine ceremony. So, take a moment to get comfortable, sit back, and accept this medicine while listening to the song provided below. May you find peace, comfort, and healing in all that you do this week.
I hope you liked the reading for this week. If so, please leave a comment below. I'd love to hear what you think (but not if you think it's all BS!) That's typical Eagle Spirit humor right there.
If you would like a personal Medicine Card reading:
Send 2 STEEM/SBD per card.

Each person is given a special one-on-one healing energy session with a reading sent from a Reiki Master Teacher (that be me), and a Native American ceremony is included.
