![the medicine of the deer: guided intuition.
.
oh damn. the full moon energy. it changed everything. and my intuition guided me through it all.
.
but, first: the midwinter medicine this week is deer medicine. i’ve written all about it in my latest blog post [LINK IN BIO].
.
but, a short summary of the winter medicine of the deer: this medicine is all about guidance + intuition + wisdom. the deer is honored + revered as a symbol of the cycle of life (as deer grow + shed their horns annually). deer also are seen as magical guides + gatekeepers to deeper, inner, other worlds.
.
imagine a deer standing at the edge of the forest. gazing at you. coaxing you to follow her inward. for, deep in the forest, there is a path meant just for you. a new way into a new space. the deer calmly guides you to the oath and gently leads you through the threshold into a new way of living.
.
the medicine this week is secret, gentle, ancient. it is the medicine of trusting your own soul. of knowing that there are guides (that we both see + don’t see) inspiring is along the way. lighting the way. but the most powerful guide is within our own souls.
.
that’s the guide i’ve trusted this full moon. and it changed everything.
.
like the deer, my intuition guided me to trust my feelings of nothingness. to know that releasing was the task of this last full moon of the decade. though i felt no specific release.
.
but, i engaged in my rituals anyway. and, then, over the course of the next 24 hours - during the full moon - everything changed. it all just felt right. something opened up and a new path ahead emerged.
.
still, no details or ideas. but, just a feeling of newness, of hope, of readiness. for a new year + new decade. .
the medicine of the deer this week is a powerful reminder to trust and accept where we are. because, in mindfully living in the present, as crazy as it seems, we will always be guided onward.
.
here’s to full moon magic, deer medicine, and our own intuition. 🦌 .
