They are all knowing and giving. It is to the Upperworld that a shaman journeys as part of their search for knowledge and understanding when they are tasked with a healing request.The spiritual vibration of the Upperworld is higher than the plane of existence we inhabit physically and much higher than that of the Lower World and especially that of the Underworld.This is all about your potential. Can you open up and receive from the Upperworld and show your true potential? Your potential is to bring benefits and spiritual help to others around you, including pets and animals. You may think it means being a suitable partner, parent, friend, child, or helping and caring for an animal that is challenged in some way. The blessing sent to you from the Upperworld may be small, not large.

The material things you are looking at are linked to memories. The medal ribbon of a parent who served their country bravely brings a particular type of memory. A powerful memory of strength, service, and willingness to accept risk and perhaps pay the ultimate price.A wedding dress and decorations from a wedding cake speak to hopes for happiness in a future paired with another that manifest in the first shoes worn by a baby.

Nurturing means to take care of ourselves and recognise what is not working for us and change it or discard it.Another way to think about nurturing yourself is to rest and recharge. Not in the way some colleagues refer to it when they come back from a vacation energized to do more and better for the company. The company is not them, their heart and mind, it is external and does not reward in the way recharging a person’s spirit does.This week, do something for yourself,

This card expands on the theme of the first two weeks of these readings.Slow down and still the chit-chat of the busy logical mind. Still, the endless cycle of “what if” thoughts that bring you no value, no insight, they only drain your energy and confuse you by hiding the path you should be following.Drum speaks to nature, Mother Ghia, the earth, to your heart beat and that of your mother when you were in the womb, protected and comfortable. Your creative self, the innovative and expanding right side of your brain, is helping to change you, change your focus, emotions and dreams.

Perhaps you do not. If so, can you see why? Perhaps it is you who feel unsupported in the way you want or expect to be supported. It just might be that you are receiving the support you need, but not what you expect or want. This creates a sense of disillusionment and abandonment. Insects bring the strength to adjust and change to your situation and the support you need, not want.In the animal world, as life and situations change, they adjust to what is happening around them. They do not despair,

You desire to soar like the birds. If you are near water, you can watch them swooping and enjoying the breezes moving from water to land and back again.Your soul is like a caged bird. The stress of living the way you are is the cage denying you freedom.The end of the year beckons you to the New Year. The Death card symbolizing things that must leave your life so you can move on has already appeared this month. Have you followed its guidance and started to release things from our life? You have received the Feathers card as well, all symbolizing what is ahead and to let go. Be prepared to greet the New Year with excitement and expectation.If you are in a part of the world where you can open your windows and let fresh air in to your home, do so. This breath of fresh air is the literal breath of new air that you need to breathe. If you cannot open your home because of the weather. Bundle up and go for a walk in a park or near a lake.
