Companion

I am the Companion of your journeying, I set your feet on the right path between the worlds and help to steer you towards the place where truth may be found. I am both Guide and Guardian sure who making sure you don’t stray too far from your path, or visit those who may be unfriendly or unwilling to help. By remaining at my side you will find truth and guidance from the spirits. Think of me always as your friend, one who shares in your search for truth and walks at your side wherever the journey may take you.

The Companion is an important and powerful ally of the seeker. He or she acts as your spiritual guide and supporter, and will offer unconditional help whenever you may need it. This detail of the cave art shows two hands that show two hands that contain and protect the spirit of the Companion, which rises from a zigzag line of energy.

It is this energy that binds the world of Spirit and the world of humans together, and allows the door between them open. The Companion forms a bridge between these worlds, allowing the Journeyer to enter in search of help from the spirits. Shamans past and present work with helpers of this kind – beings, like the Companion, who become close friends and allies in the task of journeying between worlds.

I hope that you will enjoy this sacred journey. The 52 cards of the Shaman’s oracle that we’ll explore together will bring messages of Universal truth from ancient wisdom of the Shaman’s profound intuitive insights of the psyche that we can use to chart our personal destiny. As with the Tarot, each card of the Shaman’s oracle provides a revealing perspective on our inner reality.

Inner reality – outer expectations and external forces – there is a lot going on isn’t there? Our lives are constantly bombarded with messages and we are in a continual juggling act of work, health, family, education, relationships and play. Sometimes the act is effortless and it all comes together perfectly – other times we drop a ball and berate ourselves or even worse we label ourselves some derogatory name that we wouldn’t give to our worst enemy.

Why? Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we make it so hard for ourselves? Set ourselves up for failure and the attack our self worth with
negative programming? I can’t answer that right now but perhaps we will find some answers together in the Shaman’s cave?

It is a number three day of short journeys and mental gymnastics. This is a great day to accomplish a lot of tasks. It is also a fantastic day to explore and enjoy the energy of a special and trusted companion.

The Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars are in a harmonious quadrangle. It is a positive space for love, peace and harmony. This is the perfect time to embark upon a voyage of discovery – get on board.

The Hanged man is up for the Neptunian adventure – he is happy to go with the flow. His participation is timeless and his commitment is fathomless – there is no need to fret or concern you with the tick of the clock.

The wheel of fortune brings the bells and whistles. The crass noise of the fairground heralds the beginning of the tour of a lifetime. What does it tell us though? Does it mean we are supported by our unconscious? We have been given the gift of freedom and the rite of passage to explore – what are you waiting for?

Ahhh – the Lovers – do we need to say more? Are we taking this voyage alone or is there someone who will join us – is that a knock at the door? Yes, of course, the Companion has arrived – a spirit Guide who is ever present and adored – an interpreter, a loving partner – take my hand and let’s go!

Love, Peace and harmony,
