He doesn’t go down.<\/p>\n
Flush.<\/p>\n
Damn he\u2019s still there.<\/p>\n
Flush.\u00a0 Flush.\u00a0 Flush.<\/h3>\n
Finally.\u00a0 He\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n
Shower and forget.<\/p>\n
Several hours later\u2026sitting at my desk, staring at my monitor\u2026working on my next class.\u00a0 Two inches in front of my face a spider, smaller than before yet sizable, crawls down an invisible web landing on my desk.<\/p>\n
Shit.<\/p>\n
She runs under my monitor.\u00a0 I suspect she knows the other spiders\u2019 fate. \u00a0I don\u2019t want to kill her especially now realizing my Soul is reaching out to me.<\/p>\n
This is not coincidence.<\/h3>\n
This is my Soul speaking to me.\u00a0 Clearly.<\/p>\n
My soul is shouting now\u2026pay attention to Spider medicine.\u00a0 My recollection of Spider medicine is a bit sketchy.\u00a0 I grab my three animal medicine books and do my research.<\/p>\n
Aha.\u00a0 Big Aha.\u00a0 Chills.\u00a0 Tears.\u00a0 I get it.<\/h3>\n
From Animal Speak<\/span> by Ted Andrews:\u00a0 \u201cThe spider because of its characteristics has come to be associated by mystics and in mythology with three predominant expressions of magic.\u00a0 The first is the magic and energy of creation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Second, it is a symbol of creative power, reflected in its ability to spin a silken thread.\u00a0 It is also associated with assertiveness of that creative force, of keeping feminine energies of creation alive and strong.<\/em><\/p>\n The third predominant magic of the spider is associated with its spiral energy, the links with the past and the future. The spiral web converging at a central point is something to be meditated upon by those with this totem.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Spider is the guardian of ancient languages and alphabets.\u00a0 This is why spider is considered the teacher of the language and the magic of writing.\u00a0 Those who weave magic with the written words probably have a spider totem.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Searching on line and in other books\u2026the same words bang about my head.<\/p>\n When searching for meaning in a sign rely upon what resonates with you.\u00a0 Look for what jumps out and says \u201cyes\u201d.\u00a0 Notice how you feel in your body.<\/p>\n As I read the words creativity and writing, chills run down my spine, tears fill my eyes.<\/p>\n I’ve been working on the book, Phoenix Rising, Embracing the Gifts of the Survivor Experience<\/span> for a few years.\u00a0 Last fall I put the book aside.\u00a0\u00a0 I needed a break.\u00a0 I knew eventually I would return.<\/p>\n Two weeks ago I felt a little nudging.<\/p>\n The book\u2026don\u2019t forget your book.\u00a0 I forgot the thought.<\/p>\n Until yesterday when a spider dropped in front of my face.<\/p>\n The stars and planets are aligned perfectly.<\/p>\n Today we celebrate a powerful time of transition.<\/a>\u00a0 A solar Eclipse during a powerful new moon on the Spring Equinox and at the\u00a09th degree of Pisces, the last degree of the zodiacal wheel. \u00a0A potent time for new beginnings as we say goodbye to the past.<\/p>\n The doorway has opened.\u00a0 My intention is set.\u00a0 My book will be finished, published, well received.\u00a0 The moment is now.<\/p>\n I love this clarity.<\/p>\n I love hearing the whispers from my Soul gently guiding my journey.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s one last shameless plug for my class which starts next Thursday.<\/p>\n If you want change, if you want magic, if you want clarity from your Soul, there is no more perfect time than right now.<\/p>\n Come.<\/p>\n Create Magic.<\/p>\n Now.<\/p>\n Join this special group of like minded souls.<\/p>\n Opening the shower curtain a hairy spider at least an inch across clings to the acrylic tub. Yikes.\u00a0 \u201cGo away, where I can\u2019t see you\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cYou can be here, but I don\u2019t want to see you\u201d.
