The Turtle
The turtle teaches the art of grounding, are you out of balance right now? Try not to force anything right now, allow things to develop of their own accord. The turtle has a slow steady pace. Take time to develop your ideas properly, bigger stronger and faster are not ways to get to your goal, remember the story of the hare and the tortoise. Ask for guidance from Mother Earth connect to her, connect to nature. Be sure of your goal before putting in too much effort, do this and abundance will follow.
I sense that everyone and anyone will be your friend this month, needing your help, seeking guidance. Your life is going to be very colourful through May and those around you will notice the upliftment in your ways. With regards to relationships why not be old fashioned and write that loved one a special note, you know you are good with words and writing so why not use your gift for those that matter in your life.

The buffalo has shown itself for you this month to remind you to use your energy wisely. Ask for the assistance of the angels, ask the spirit world for guidance. Be grateful for all that you receive. The white buffalo signifies abundance and wealth. Look around you for all that you have achieved and become. Be grateful for each and every person that has taught you lessons on your pathway. Each and every one has made you who you are today. Stand tall, stand proud and ask for help and guidance.
You will spend most of your month being very close to family or family situations. It maybe they need your help right now especially with extra chores. Gather round those you love and let them know how much they mean to you. You are going through a life transition and a time of reflection for your life purpose. Make every day count.

​Animal Medicine Card – Raven – 16
The raven has shown itself for you this month to bring you magic. There is going to be a change in your spiritual development. The raven is a sacred bird. You will see and hear a little more magic. The power of the unknown is at work, you do not need to do anything or try and work it out. Will you accept this gift from the spirit world? Will you recognise it? Perhaps you need to send out those messages, allow the raven to be the carrier for you. Manifestation is the key, allow it to develop.
This is a month to down tools and not work so hard, this is a month to allow things to just be. If you are thinking of changing your job then hold fire and just wait a while, you may have a whole new perspective in a couple of weeks time. Lots of surprises and magic this month including within relationships. Let someone sweep you off your feet, it is your time to be treated.

​Animal Medicine Card – Porcupine – 12
The porcupine has shown itself for you this month to bring you the qualities of power, faith and trust. The porcupine can move mountains, trust in the divine plan. Allow your imagination to run wild. Let it take you to places you have never been before. Do not get caught up in others drama, chaos and lies. Open your heart to your own imagination and let it take you to some joy and fun.
Be prepared for spur of the moment changes in plans, say yes to the offers that come your way. You will turn a corner with regards to fitness or weight loss or something else that you always say you will do but always put it off, this month will see you taking positive action to make things happen. With the new activities and plans that come be prepared also to meet new people, this will give you a new zest for life.

Animal Medicine Card – Bat – 42
The bat has shown itself for you this month because you are entering a new stage in your life, a new growth pattern. A time to let go of things that no longer serve you. The universe is asking you to embrace your future, to grow and allow it develop just as it needs to right now. The bat is a creature of the night, pay attention to your night visions. Whatever you do in this physical world will get passed down to further generations just as those who have passed before. Release all blockages, with the new growth pattern comes new thoughts, new beliefs and new feelings.
The biggest thing im feeling this month is consider what is bothering you and how much of that is actually down to you, or something you can change. Let others get on with their own drama. If there are disagreements around you take yourself away from the situation. I sense also bickering within relationships and again think about the qualities of the bat and know any obstacles you will overcome this month.

​Animal Medicine Card – Salmon – 49
The salmon has shown itself for you this month to bring you inner knowing and wisdom. No matter what obstacles show themselves you will be able to stand strong and deal with any situation. The salmon always returns to its place of creation. Even if life has been pushing you back lately, salmon teaches to carry on and push through those obstacles. Or are those obstacles just an illusion? Trust your gut instinct. You will know instinctively if someone around you has a hidden agenda or is not telling you the full story. See every bend in the river as a brand new exciting adventure. Enjoy the journey.
Things are changing around finances so this is a time to make money work for you. You will have new energy and excitement around work or a new project, as you will with new relationships as well. Go with your gut around a new person that enters your life this month, it could well turn passionate very quickly.

​Animal Medicine Card – Dragonfly – 27
The dragonfly has shown itself for you this month to bring you messages of wisdom and upliftment and communication from the world of spirit. Is there something or someone that is restricting you right now? Do you have any habits you need to change? Have you let your appearance go? The dragonfly brings the message of change, changes you may need to make to yourself or habits you have formed. He will guide you through the pathway to transformation. Things may not be completely as they seem, bring the magic out into the open, create the future of your dreams, you have the power!

​Animal Medicine Card – Elk
The elk has shown himself to you this month to ask, have you taken on too much lately? Are you burning yourself out? Do you need to take time out with family and friends, do you need to ask for help or support from them? Reduce your stress levels, talk about your feelings, allow yourself some slack or time off. You need some excitement in your life, if you are forever tired it won’t happen. Stop when you need, persist when you need to, make room for new people and new places and most of all enjoy the now!
Confiding in others will be key this month, if only sharing is all you want from it. Share and free yourself from those issues. There will be no need to compromise on anything this month. Matters will settle around the 18th and there will be a complete shift in energy for you. The last two weeks of May will bring new energy and excitement for you. Look around the 22nd for a letter that will have a specific meaning for your future.
 

​Animal Medicine Card – Squirrel
Your message for the month of May is to keep something in reserve, store your energy, do not give too much of yourself to another. The squirrel is teaching you to be prepared for any situation that arises this month. Think about your future, your independence but there is no need to put everything into it, just have a little in reserve. It may well be that you are trying to hold on too hard to what you expect for your future. All that you have gathered may need recycling. Remember the squirrel always finds a safe place to keep his gatherings. Know that everything is being taken care of, you need not fear the future.
Your ideal partner is one who shares the same interests as you and likes to do the same things you do. I feel that some of you may be feeling restricted within a relationship. You need to do more of what you love, either trying to involve a partner or even a friend. For those who are single go out there and do the things you love, you will be surprised at who you meet.

 

​Animal Medicine Card – Bear
The bear teaches us to quiet the mind, enter the silence and just know the answers to our life questions. These answers may come to you in dream time, so pay particular attention to your dreams, write down anything that comes to mind as soon as you awake. Through the pathway of the bear you will reach deeper levels of imagination and consciousness. With the strength of the bear your dreams are about to become reality.
Don’t make any rash decisions. Allow that time of peace and silence in the first couple of weeks. I also sense someone from the past is going to resurface, it is important to think about what you truly desire from this person. Remember your answers will come in dream time. Your dreams have the potential to become reality. Just keep that thought in mind as you go through May.
