BLACK PANTHER (#52)
~ Embracing the Unknown ~
Black Panther slid silently through the bayou, her golden eyes catching the starlight, midnight fur soundlessly rippling over her stealthy sinew, muscle, and bone. She and her mate were the last of their kind in the homeland of the Caddo Tribe. The Panther Clan had been honored and respected by the red people of the bayou for hundreds of years. Black Panther's medicine allows human beings to face their fears and dark behaviors, exploring those internal shadowy aspects of being.
Most of Panther's tribe had been stalked and killed by the other two-leggeds, who had come across the big water and who feared their own dark natures. Those people were in need of her healing medicine. That night the Black Panther stood at the edge of the swampy bayou, sniffing at the night, trying to catch the scent of any newcomer willing to go beyond their fears and trust her medicine. No, not on this night, but she would patiently wait for one courageous explorer of the healing potential found in the dark of the unknown. |

The Caddo people called her clan the Black Panther, and her tribe was known as the Midnight or Black Jaguar to the Maya. The color black is honored by the red race: Darkness is the place for seeking and finding answers, for accepting healings, and for accessing the hidden light of truth. Black Panther teaches us through our dreams to delve into the places within ourselves that need healing. She shows us how to track the unfamiliar territory found on the journey of self-discovery and to fearlessly face the unknown.
If the Black Panther has appeared today, it may be telling you not to worry about the future. Trust that you are not supposed to mentally "figure it out" at this time. You may need to confront fears of the unknown, of being less than you truly are, or an inability to simply BE. Let go of fears that appear as obstacles or barriers. Embrace the unknown and flow with the mystery that is unfolding in your life. The next step may be leaping empty-handed into the void with implicit trust. In the stillness of the void, find the will to avoid foolish interruptions, going deeper into your own self-discovery and healing process. Here you will discover Black Panther's unexpected blessings."
CONTRARY: If you are operating from Shadow ...
If Black Panther is appearing as CONTRARY: If you are operating from Shadow ..., you may be seeing situations as black or white, good or bad, with no middle ground. Be free of mental presuppositions and expectations. It could be a time to do some housecleaning. Let go of negative people, limiting thoughts, or any fear of being alone. If you are out of balance, your shadow may be creating demons of fear. Enter the stillness and refuse to surrender your personal authority to avoidance mechanisms, justifications, or mental gymnastics. Remember, the fear of “what if” will always keep you from enjoying the present moment and life’s gift is the present.
Feeling jumpy, nervous, confused, paranoid, afraid of being alone, or somehow at risk? These feelings are the shadow’s domain. Tell your shadow to get lost! Then acknowledge and release any feelings of discomfort. Find the emptiness of the void and snuggle into Black Panther’s midnight fur. In all cases, you are reminded that every human being emerged from the darkness of the womb; you once felt that the silence and the ebony void of this nurturing space was the safest place to BE.

Below you will find the Osho Zen card I pull twice a month when
I meditate on the energy for the upcoming Full or New Moon.
This is usually included in the teleconference reminder. It may
serve as additional guidance throughout the month. Enjoy!
NOTE FROM KELLY ... Capricorn New Moon 2008 |
Capricorn New Moon, is the last new moon of the year as we release 2008 and set our intentions for 2009. Capricorn represents the responsible part of us, that inner authority that says, "Do what you gotta do - so you can do what you wanna do!" It is also the part of your being that wants to build something tangible and have a sense of accomplishment in the world, however, the world is changing so your definition of "accomplishment" probably needs to shift. This New Moon is perfect for dreaming up a new definition of reality, one that you are completely responsible for creating and expressing in the world.
I centered my Self and asked for Spirit to guide my hand on behalf of the Power Circle Community and I pulled a card for the New Moon in Capricorn ... LETTING GO . I hope it resonates as deeply for you as it did with me. The Capricorn New Moon is going to be different than ever this year because of the additional planets in Capricorn contributing to the energetic mix. We are establishing a new reality, new foundations, new definitions of EVERYTHING and building new structures to support this broader vision. It is vital that you use this energy to BUILD energy and entities which are IN-clusive, rather than EX-clusive. It is time. And the card says ...

LETTING GO
In this image of lotus leaves in the early morning, we can see in the rippling of the water that one drop has just fallen. It is a precious moment, and one that is full of poignancy. In surrendering to gravity and slipping off the leaf, the drop loses its previous identity and joins the vastness of the water below. We can imagine that it must have trembled before it fell, just on the edge between the known and the unknowable. To choose this card is a recognition that something is finished, something is completing. Whatever it is--a job, a relationship, a home you have loved, anything that might have helped you to define who you are--it is time to let go of it, allowing any sadness but not trying to hold on. Something greater is awaiting you, new dimensions are there to be discovered. You are past the point of no return now, and gravity is doing its work. Go with it--it represents liberation. |
NOTE FROM KELLY ... Cancer Full / Super Moon ~ 2009
|
Cancer Full Moon, this year, is a Super Moon (closest to the Earth/very intense) and the first of FIVE Super Moons this year, 4 of which are in Cancer including the Lunar Eclipse on the LAST DAY OF DEC 2009! Full Moons are generally about RELEASE and 2009 is going to go a long way for releasing a lot of childhood trauma and past life drama in preparation for 2010 and beyond. As we assume more personal responsibility for nourishing ourselves, our communities and our planet, we have to 'let go and let God' more often and 'go with the flow' in a new, more grounded, intuitive, connected within way.
I centered my Self and asked for Spirit to guide my hand on behalf of the Power Circle Community and I pulled a card for the Full Moon in Cancer ... GO WITH THE FLOW. I hope it resonates as deeply for you as it did with me. The Capricorn New Moon assisted in setting the goals and the Cancer Full Moon is going to assist with releasing the old, creating a new, more inviting space for things to manifest and getting you truly in touch with your empathic nature, your ability to *FEEL* what is needed and when it's time to relax and 'go with the flow' knowing all is in Divine Order. And the card says ...

GO WITH THE FLOW
The figure in this card is completely relaxed and at ease in the water, letting it take him where it will. He has mastered the art of being passive and receptive without being dull or sleepy. He is just available to the currents of life, with never a thought of saying "I don't like that," or "I prefer to go the other way." Every moment in life we have a choice whether to enter life's waters and float, or to try to swim upstream. When this card appears in a reading it is an indication that you are able to float now, trusting that life will support you in your relaxation and take you exactly where it wants you to go. Allow this feeling of trust and relaxation to grow more and more; everything is happening exactly as it should.
