Creation
Guess what time it is people? It is my new initiative that is now in week three. Something a little different about this week is that I am taking part of a contest hosted by @ifc and the #informationfinding marketplace. The topic for the week is "Marketing," and Great Spirit only knows how I am learning the ins-and-outs of this specific subject.
You see, I have not always been good at "selling," what I feel a natural born gift has been given me. Therefore, this is not an easy topic for me, but very timely since most of my life I have given freely. I have many initiatives I would love to move forward with, this Medicine Card Monday being one of them. The free part has to change in my life, but I will not stop this weekly reading as my gift to Steemit.
In addition, to my group reading I am going to incorporate individual readings to the community for a fee. The fee will be 1 STEEM or 1 SBD for an individual one card pull or three card reading. You can choose. This could be done by contacting me personally through Discord. My name is Eagle Spirit, so feel free to contact me at any time. Ask anyone, I am on Steemit 24/7.
All of that aside, let us continue with this week's Medicine Card Monday!
What is Medicine Card Monday? With a positive intention, I am pulling a card of healing 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.
More specifically the decks I use are from the Medicine Cards that work with Spirit Animals, Mystical Shaman Oracle Cards, and the Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards. 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, atmospheric, or overcoming health issues of all sorts, etc.
My hope is that by pulling a card for Steemit this will in turn assist with my Medicine training, by using my intuition more (which can always use more practice), give back to the community, and help those seeking answers. I will take some of the reading from guidebooks provided with the cards, but also give intuitive and medicinal words to help our community. We all have days when we need encouragement, inspiration, and comfort.
The card I picked for the week of April 23, 2018, is as follows:
The Card
Starting in a sacred space with a clear mind and body I pulled the Creation card from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle deck by Tori Hartman.
The Reading
Starting this week's reading I took a short training of seven videos in preparation. If anyone has ever done chakra work then you know how detailed this work can be. Of all things, I got onto a path that led me to Edgar Cayce, but this information will be for another blog.
The training assisted me in learning how to work with this particular deck with specific characteristics to keep in mind while sharing pertinent information. The cards are divided into six levels of messages and what is most interesting is the Creation card is entitled She Shaman, and reads "I will guide you to your muse." That gave me chills right there.
Let's continue with the explanation of the six parts of this card:
The Legend
This is a fairly long explanation so I will summarize. She Shaman is the representative bestowing artistic talents on a select few. Since I pulled that card for Steemit then that would mean we have some great talent here. If we look at curation pages and those who are sharing amazing talent in outstanding posts, then we know this to be true.
One day She Shaman sat under a birch tree and the birch asks her for a muse too. Birch entertains She Shaman with singing and storytelling. She Shaman smiles and said, "My great friend you have had your art all along." She vowed that from then on she would give everyone their own gift.
This sentence reminds me of the question I asked before I pulled this card for Steemit today, I asked where is Steemit going? Where is crypto currency going? Will there really be an economic collapse and will Steemit survive? Maybe I should have focused on one question, but I usually get all my answers. So why not ask it all at once? That's just me.
Anyhoo, the card continues with She Shaman has never left us, we see her inside every creative work. Excellent!
For example, I just started writing poetry, haiku's, short stories (again), and joining contests of all sorts. I am not a musician or singer, but I am in groups that are filled with them. This card tells us that we are all creative and no matter what our interests, it is limitless. Expand your avenues of creativity, and they will come. She Shaman never left us.
Inspiration
Your path is an artistic one. Express your love in a tangible art form. It is time to make decisions.
That sentence up there is a bit exciting in that if we are holding back, hold back no longer! Take confidence in the fact that we all have gifts to share, so feel free to express that side of yourself. Make that decision NOW!
Personal Inquiry
Am I waiting for someone's permission to create my life? What do I need to see in order to claim my own gifts?
Here again, do we really need someone to give us permission to say our work is good enough? I have found that on Steemit everyone has their own idea of what creative means. There are many rules in curation groups that even they break those rules and curate someone. Also, one person's idea of creativity is not the same for someone else. What I find beautiful in one post will not be the same for someone else.
For those that read this, listen to your own true self and if you have been blocked from creating something that you have been wanting to do, but did not find that push. This is your push, make that decision and go full speed ahead.
Key Ideas
Opening to magic; lasting transformation; divine feminine; awakening creativity; finding your muse; owning your gifts.
These key ideas are what will help you meditate on what your next step would be in the Steemit community. Not taking other's ideas but actuating your own special magic. Finding it within yourself to be true and share that with others in a creative way.
Keywords
Creativity, muse, magic.
Focusing on these three words on a walk, working, or meditating will bring forth your own magic within the Steemit community. Give it a try!
Meditation
Open a notebook and a on a piece of clean paper, close your eyes and imagine She Shaman standing in a mist holding out her hand to you. (Don't get spooked, this isn't easy.) Ask for her guidance, or that of your guides, teachers, etc. Pick up your notebook and write. Write whatever comes to mind. Do not censor or judge yourself or the words/art you wrote or drew. They may mean nothing right NOW, but they will. Thank She Shaman for her visit. This can be done by lighting an incense or candle and saying the words "Thank you."
In conclusion, we learned that sticking to our crwwtive energies will help us get through whatever may come. In our process, we are learning and growing. Enhancing our art on Steemit. That said, we cannot fail.
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.
As a recap, if you would like a personal one or three card pull the fee is:
- 1 SBD or 1 STEEM
Have a glorious week and come back next Monday for another Medicine Card reading! Peace.
If you found this post pretty good upvote, if you found it inspiring comment, and if you found it dead on awesomesauce resteem.
Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’m a First Nation member of the Hopi & Apache Native American tribes, Medicine Woman in training, first time blogger since November 2017, right here on Steemit, paralegal, researcher, and writer based in the Mountains of Colorado, USA. I work closely with fellow planktons and minnows in a few groups by helping them adjust to Steemit and curate quality content. I’m especially interested in finding others who love natural medicine originating from ancient practices, gold and silver, energy work, and the paranormal. If that’s you, please say hello! See you soon, @eaglespirit
Great Post @eaglespirit!! And awesome entry to round 28!! Best of luck!
Eaglespirits' readings can be found in the IFC Discord under the marketplace for anyone interested!
thank you so much IFC! i am so happy to be a part of this group and its creativity. I am honored. :)
Awesome! :) I think I'm going to take you up on your offer for a personal card reading. I used to be kinda anti spiritual stuff in my past when I was a super sciencey type admittedly, but now that I've learned more about the the world and the occult and spirituality and the concepts in general I'm much more open minded. And I actually tend to look for symbols and signs and things as well very often now. So I would love to have a card pull, I'll send over payment shortly!
Also the creation card was perfect! In so many ways. For steemit, for the individuals on here creating, and especially for me and the IFC as well as we just created The Marketplace, and you picked the creation card! That's so cool! :D Thanks for the awesome entry! And for the neat service you provide. I wish you success in your efforts. Cheers. ._.
PS I'm going to try to focus on those three words. "Creativity, muse, magic."
Yay! Thank you for your lovely reply and being my FIRST individual read. I'm so glad you are open minded and I am honestly happy to have found the IFC group and you as our leader. Everyone is very helpful and kind. I love that so much!
PS. Creativity, Muse, Magic ...
LOL!
Hugs,
Eagle
You're welcome! Sorry for the super delayed response, I get overwhelmed on messages sometimes and had to take a break. Thank you for the awesome reading! And for being so friendly, glad to have you be a part of the community! And yeah, that's one of the things I love the most about these people! They are all so friendly and helpful. :) Also.. I appreciate the term leader, but.. I'm just another voice here! Or.. Put another way.. We're all leaders and heroes at the IFC. :D I'm not "the" leader, just one of many leaders! ._.
no worries!! im delayed here too had a lot goong on too. ooopsss well i see you mostly voicing sooo made me think you were the leader. i even gave you new props as leader bc you just kinda do. shrugs.
thank you for being you!
Well.. There is no leader really.. I guess I sort of am, but I try to be just one of the people. I came up with the ideas for the IFC and The Marketplace. But none of it would be possible without all of the people who are a part of the communities.. And I want everyone to feel like their voice matters. I'd like to think we're all equals, but technically I do sort of.. Run things, and second in command would be charisma777. But as I said.. I want it to feel like we're all equal as much as possible! And aw. That was nice of you to say at the end there. Same to you! :)
i hear ya and totally get it ... you and charisma are still the leaders ahahahahaah
i just follow what you both say ... if you steered me wrong that would be one thing but you both are just A M A Z I NGGGGGG
You have got upvote from @upvote-bot and team members as you are member of our discord team.
thank you UB!!
<3 beautiful and thanks for sharing your gifts. this question is for me:
i have been working with this question lately. related to claiming who i say i am. do i really need someone outside of me to affirm that i am who i am, that i can do the thing that i want to do? is it based on outside approval? my art? my contribution? my creativity?
thanks... very pertinent inspiration!! xxx
hello, very interesting you stated this since i see creativity coming from MJ all the time! :)
glad i was able to help and inspire ... it's an honor.
blessings,
eagle

thank you anj, you are too kind. love, eagle
i love this GIF, it's always a wonderful one to be soothed by. :)
Wow that’s for a start @eaglespirit. I’m always fascinated with people who has a natural flair in reading energies from others. How was it like for you to first notice your “special powers”? Was it an epiphany to you or did you subconsciously manifested the talent? How did you know, for an instance, that “this is it”?
hey there Deb! well, to be honest i blocked the SP for a long time, most of my life really. i accepted the gifts back into my life around 2012.
well, all of the this is it kind of stuff happens with training, listening, not allowing the brain to interfere and trusting intuition. listening to Spirit and it goes from there ...
thank you for your lovely questions!
eagle
Wow! You amaze me every single time. I have been interested in shamanism since some time so this came out as quite a nice surprise to me that you read this card.
awww you are too kind Sha! :)
yeah strange that i do not trust shamanism, but these cards came to me. i am not one of those Native Americans that really trust it or that many people are, not matter how many certificates one obtains. there are few and far between in this world that exist. but a few do. :)
hugs,
eagle
PS. the true message is about Creation an us as a community using our creativity to ensure the continued strength. so we do need to get it together to create balance.
Just letting you know, I have started reading it but I am not finished. We are getting warmer days that have kept me busy working in my greenhouse to get it prepared and kids that are constantly wanting to be outside. This page remains in my tabs bar until I can finish it. I will comment on it when I can. Thinking of you ^_^
no worries! you are too funny ... i just updated our zombie contest so hopefully we can get more entrants. yay greenhouse and kids!! woop
awww hugs
This is great! I have been questioning myself on the last posts that I have wrote. Is this something that is worth bringing to this platform? Something that people could easily read and maybe reflect, should I continue?
It is what I have been doing lately with writing what I feel needs to come out of me as I heal from past events and the recent ones. They also help me see where I am going.
Thank you for doing this and how awesome it is to have pulled this card! It felt like it was meant for me lol, although I know it is for everyone one - Steemit. I hope everyone can benefit from this <3
sweet!!! it does seem so timely right? i felt it too, a lot of people get so discouraged and we all have those moments where we may find it hard to write or writers block or insecure ... it happens ... i found this card to be very encouraging. thank you so much for your support. hugs
