Tarantula: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
After the destruction and annihilation that comes from the Panther, we emerge more aligned and clear in our path forward. Now, in the sixth position, there is an obvious brightness with this card by the imagery alone, but this was the goal of the Panther: to help us emerge from chaos and frenzy into brightness […]
Panther: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
The fifth animal from the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck is the Panther. As we have seen with the previous fifth animals in the other suits/elements, this animal is going to speak to change, challenges, obstacles, and overcoming unknowns or adversity. It makes sense that the animal that resides at this position is as ferocious […]
Lizard: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
The fourth animal from the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck is the Lizard. Coming after the Scorpion, with its fierce and fiery energy, we need to find some stability, which the Lizard encourages. There needs to be a bit of a metaphorical cooling off. With the Scorpion, we recognize how the spirit within (as we […]
Scorpion: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
The third animal within the fire element of the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck is the Scorpion. It is a perfect time to write about this wonderful creature as we approach the Full Flower Moon in Scorpio. A quick recap: the previous card was the Hyena. The Hyena invites us to consider where laughter, comedy, […]
Hyena: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
Next up in our deep dive into the The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck is the Hyena, second in the suit of fire. The fire suit starts with the first animal, the Fire Ant. The Fire Ant invites consideration of how we are spending our energetic currency. Are we quick to anger? Are we spending […]
Fire Ant: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
Now, we approach the animals of the fire element. These animals, the creatures of the deserts and grasslands, all tend to matters of the spirit. They represent our ability to alchemize and transform. From the guidebook, these animals lead us towards change. They represent the ego and encourage us to lean into change, so that […]
Dolphin: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
We are almost to the end of our Water element animals from the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck, with only two left to go. The Dolphin follows the Swan (a creature that helps us tap into our watery and infinite creative powers), and builds on these energies. Once we have learned how to start channeling […]
Otter: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
Next in the series of moving through each animal in the The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck, now in the water element, we come to the most joyous and playful animal- the Otter. The Otter is a universally beloved animal, even by some people who may not entirely be animal lovers. As we will delve […]
Starfish: The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
The Starfish is next in our continuation of The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck. The previous Water element cards that have been discussed are Crocodile, Stingray, and Fish. I recommend reading the other posts to see how they build on each other and grow in consciousness. Fish at position three invites us to grow, be […]
