EAGLE MEDICINE: Profound connection to the Creator and the heavenly realms. As the eagle soars high above the earth, it has the ability to see things from a higher perspective. Courage and stamina are filling your life. You have the ferocity to right injustice and wrongs done to you or to others. This is the time to face fear and overcome it.
This Eagle Medicine card has chosen you as you are at the advent of the opportunity to truly see life from a rarified vantage point. Eagles are considered one of the most sacred of all birds in many tribes and cultures. Their single-minded fierceness, dynamic energy, and ability to soar high are part of the reason for this. This card reminds you to take heart and face fear; you do indeed have the strength to overcome any adversity. You also have a direct line to the Creator. Your prayers are heard and will be answered in accordance with your highest good. You have the capacity to channel extraordinary life-force energy through your hands.
Go on an inner journey and imagine that you’re an eagle. Feel the power of your wings, the clarity of your eyesight, and the power of your talons. As you do this, be aware of the energy of the majestic eagle filling you.

WARRIOR OF THE HEART: You have the radiant spirit of a warrior of the light. Be impeccable in all of your actions. No matter what others believe, the Creator always knows the truth. This isn’t the time to be timid and pull back. Immense courage is filling you. Throw your shoulders back, step forward, and take a risk! Be willing to live from your heart rather than your mind. Honor your truth. Speak up for yourself.
The greatest native warriors weren’t the ones who wounded the most people; they were those remarkable beings who had such personal power that enemies lay down their weapons rather than fight. There are times in life to step back and even to walk away, but there are also times to stand up for yourself and those less advantaged. Don’t allow yourself to be limited by your belief system. Courage doesn’t mean that you aren’t afraid. Fearless means just that: Fear less. Acknowledge that you’re frightened and take action anyway! Face your anxiety and go beyond the boundaries of limited perceptions of yourself. Through your example, people find and act on their truth. You’re a light bearer for others.
List everything that you are afraid of. Then next to that list, write every reason why it’s important to overcome that fear. (In other words, what does that fear cost you?) Then make a list of various ways that you can overcome that fear.

WHITE BUFFALO: Abundance and security are flowing into your life. All things are possible. Balance and harmony prevail. You may be called upon to stand up for others, but you can do this because you have the support of many beings in the spirit realm. In Native American traditions, there are prophecies about the coming of the White Buffalo, especially among the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota (or the “Sioux”).
There’s a legend that White Buffalo Calf Woman, a mystical being, came to the people a very long time ago, when they were out of balance. She gifted the people with a sacred bundle containing the White Buffalo Calf Pipe to help restore the balance. Upon leaving, White Buffalo Calf Woman prophesized that she will return at the end of an age, and that she will appear as a white buffalo calf.
In recent times, white buffalo calves have been born, leading many to believe that this is the beginning of a new time. When this card chooses you, it’s an honor, for it speaks of a time of miracles and balance in all things. You are a channel for the greater forces in the Universe. With their help, all is possible, but without it, things can be a struggle. Surrender to the support from the Great Spirit; you do not have to do everything alone.
Shape-shift into the white buffalo, and the energy this card brings will multiply tenfold. Imagine that you can feel the power in your muscles and the fecund earth beneath your hooves. Feel the weight of your horns and the warmth of your hide. This calls the deeper energies of white buffalo into your life.
