Do you know yours? ✨🪶
I was once told "your spirit guides will make themselves known when you're ready"...
So I guess this weekend I just got initiated 🙏🏻
Through all my years of experiencing magic, this is the 1 thing I just didn't think would happen for me.
I practiced at the Arthur Findlay College and I saw an old Native American Man with very long straight black hair, long finger nails and wearing some kind of headdress (no feathers), he wore something heavy around his neck and a long white fur cloak. At the time it felt like 2 people overlapped as I couldn't make sense of the clothing and even though I had initially said Native American, I just thought it was too cliché and I never gave it another thought. Until now.

A couple of nights ago I dreamt about what looked like horses with antlers but heavier built, someone in my dream told me it was Elk 🫎 I was walking behind one very calm black elk with more sat to the left of me and white horses to the right, it felt really powerful & I knew it had meaning. I turned to the internet to look up the symbolism for black elk, but I did not expect to find a Native American Medicine man by the name Black Elk on my screen.
🪶✨ Black Elk (1863-1950) of the Oglaga Lakota people. A holy man, healer and visionary. He healed people through deep spiritual visions, sacred ceremonies and healing herbs revealed to him in his youth by divine intervention. He utilised specific medicinal herbs shown to him in his visions to treat physical ailments among his people.

Does this now mean, he guides me along my own path of healing in a similar way through the divine or is he guiding me with his own teachings 🤷🏻♀️ Either way it feels great to finally put a face to a voice, and understand why I am so drawn to shamanism like it already lives within me. Even the book in my last photo, I bought online back in January as I just feel so drawn to this.
My visions sound the same. Intuition and the 'knowing'. I connect to animals alot through dreams/meditation, mostly bears, wolves, eagles & hawks amongst others.

As the quote says "your guide is aligned to your higher purpose"
✨The perfect time to start my journey✨
