Pilot Whales

I was very young and living on the prairies when I first learned about whales and dolphins. I have been a fan of whales and dolphins ever since that time.

Often, in dream time, whales and/or dolphins will appear in the dream to bring messages, or to ask for help, and sometimes, just to play.

It was in dream time that I met the pilot whale.

****************************

Pilot whales are jet black or a very dark grey color. The dorsal fin is set forward on the back and sweeps back. The newborn whale's dorsal fin is flexible at birth so as to facilitate the birthing process. The body is elongated but stocky and narrows abruptly toward the tail fin. ~ Wikipedia

Pilot Whale has set a course for change and invites you to pick up and follow. The journey involves moving, transforming, and completing. Moving may mean moving to a different location, or new house, or even to a different career or belief system. Transforming means changing something about yourself, on a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual basis. Completing is encouragement to finish those projects that are incomplete. This is true especially for creative projects.

Pilot Whale also shows the direction for starting something new. If things have not been feeling like they are working, then Pilot Whale says that you should change direction. If the current is holding you back, perhaps you are not to go that way. Animals always take the path of least resistance, and so too should humans because one will reach the destination anyway, even if it seems like it is not a direct path.

At times, Pilot Whale simply stops moving and lies on its side, in contemplation and meditation. She suggests that you meditate on the Ocean, on Oneness, on Love, and on the mystical way that Great Spirit works with all beings.

Buffalo Solidarity

Buffalo speaks…

“We say that the time of the Buffalo is coming once more. Buffalo have kept the prairie savannahs healthy by the foraging and fertilizing that we do. Buffalo has been the creator of much of the prairies and the sites that exist there. “Buffalo grass, buffalo wallows, buffalo stones, buffalo shrubs, buffalo hallows, and buffalo haunt” are all phrases that come from the time the Buffalo shaped the vast spaces.

Once, before white man, the best food in North America was the meat of Buffalo. It is lean and nutritious. Consuming the meat made Man more kin to the herd, and gave Man more reverence for life. That changed with the introduction of cattle. Wild cattle roamed the very southern plains, and, to us, a variation of antelope.

There is a time coming where the cattle will decline, and Buffalo will be needed for all that it can provide to you. We are grateful to become part of the natural cycle again.”

Blessings,

Judy

Black Fawn - Another Spirit Animal

One of my friends sent me this gorgeous set of pictures of a Black Fawn and its Deer family. It is interesting, I think, that Mother Nature, The Universe, or what ever you wish to call the Power that keeps balance, does balance off the white fawns that are being born with one that is black.

I love the way the black fawn blends into the shadows in the second picture. The shadows remind me of a conversation I was having with one of my friends – that we all need to find and recognize the darkness in ourselves; that the shadow side of ourselves is a gift that allows us to recognize actions that are not for the highest good, and therefore, gives us the freedom of choice to choose to act in a different manner than perhaps our reflexes would have prompted us to act.
