Squirrel
| Gathering |
Squirrel . . .
You have gathered
Nuts by the score,
Exactly predicting
If you'll need more.
Teach me to take
No more than I need.
Trusting Great Mystery
Contrary:
The contrary medicine of Squirrel is the hoarder:
a fearful person who expects the worst and is stuck in waiting.
Waiting for something to happen is the trap.
No action equals stagnation, but a little of Squirrel's erratic energy might get things moving.
If Squirrel is hanging upside down on your branch, you may have begun seeing the world through opposites, hoarding your thoughts of abundance so that fear of scarcity takes
hold.
You ask yourself:
1. Have I denied my ability to produce enough space for abundance to enter my life?
2. Have I denied my connection to the Earth Mother, from whom all things flow?
3. In moving too fast, have I taken on the erratic nature of Squirrel without having any focus?
4. Am I leaking my energy on worry instead of
gathering power through being prepared?
Remember, one of the Squirrel family gathered the energy of Eagle and connected
to the Great Spirit... now this Squirrel can fly.

Right Side Up:
Squirrel teaches you to plan ahead for the winter when the trees are bare and the nuts have long since disappeared.
Squirrel medicine can come in many forms, as this furry creature is very diverse in nature.
The erratic behaviour of Squirrel has bested many a forlorn hunter, and it thus stands to reason that there are benefits to being able to circle a branch at lightning speed.
This erratic behaviour of Squirrel can so get nerve-wracking if you are dealing with persons who have Squirrel medicine.
Trying to calm them down enough to accomplish something may drive you nuts!
The gathering power of Squirrel medicine is a great gift.
It teaches you how to gather and store your energy for times of need.
It teaches you to reserve something for future use, whether it be a judgment, an opinion, a savings account, candles, or extra food.
To put it in a nutshell, Squirrel is the Boy Scout of the animal kingdom - always prepared.
In today's world of changing times and fortunes, it is the wise person who prepares for the future.
Our prophesies have all spoken of the end of the millennium and the changes to come.
Squirrel is a friendly medicine to have, in light of possible future rainy days.
Its message is to be prepared, but not to go nuts with it.
Love yourself enough to gather the goods that will meet your needs in times of scarcity, even if that time never comes.
If Squirrel has scurried into your cards today, it may be that you are being told to honour your future by readying yourself for change.
The message could be to lighten your load if you have gathered too many "things" that do not serve you.
These "things" can include thoughts, worries, pressures, stresses, or gadgets that have been broken for years.
In understanding the balance involved in gathering, you need to look at the idea of circulating the stock of what you have gathered.
Call the nearest thrift store and give the gadgets to someone who can benefit from them.
If something no longer "grows corn" for you, then it is time to let it go.
Squirrel has another lesson which can aid you if you observe what is obvious, and which can prepare you for anything.
It has to do with the safe place in which to put your gathering.
This safe place is an untroubled heart and mind, and that which is gathered to put in this place is wisdom and caring.
The energies gathered will set your mind and heart free, so that you will know that all will be taken care of in its own time.
Apply this to your fears about the future and they will vanish.
