Talk2theAnimals Animal of the Week

by Janet on March 22, 2010

Muskrat came forth to help us this week. Muskrat is a large, aquatic rodent with a thin, long, nearly hairless tail. They are talented water creatures, being able to swim up to three miles an hour and being able to swim backwards.

With spring in the air, Muskrat reminds us to do spring cleaning.  Get rid of the clutter, whether it is spiritual, emotional, mental or physical.  By doing a little bit at a time, the job will be finished.

Because Muskrat is a water creature, now is a good time to deal with any emotions.  Water is symbolic of our emotions in the Tarot deck. We can dive down into the depths of ourselves, discover what is there, what is helpful, what is not helpful.  If we discover something that is no longer serving us, Muskrat will help us clean it out.  Muskrat is of great value when we find ourselves experiencing unfamiliar emotions.

Muskrat is typically nocturnal, but may be seen during the day on overcast days.  During this time we may experience more dream activity.  Ask Muskrat to help you with the interpretations of your dreams, and it will be very helpful to keep a dream journal during this time.

Questions to ask when Muskrat appears:

  • What is cluttering up my life?
  • Am I avoiding/ignoring my emotions?
  • What are my dreams trying to tell me?

Thank you, Muskrat, for coming forth and sharing your wisdom and guidance.  We appreciate your skill in helping us maneuver through the emotions we are experiencing, and in helping us clean out that which no longer serves us.  For this we are grateful.

Harmony,

Janet Roper

Communicating with ‘Killer’ Whales

March 14, 2010

I do not like the term ‘killer’ whales.  IMO, that says much more about the humans that apply it than the animals it is applied to.  I mean, anytime the word ‘killer’ is said, it’s only applied to the bad guys.  Good vs. bad. Them against us.  Anytime there is a division, there is an [...]
