rise and then be very very still wild ones it's bernadette and i'm here with your pick a card
tarot reading for tuesday january 19th 2021 and wow holy guacamole the download that came
in this morning for this reading is like i okay we're just gonna jump right into it because it is
deep like what what what are we gonna do with this deep right okay so i i think clearly
um you know the animal spirit guides are responding to so much of what's going on you know
over the next four days we all everybody the whole world is scope locked on what's going to go on in
the next four days please understand that is not an invitation to discuss politics um on my channel
but nonetheless there is a growing cacophony of energetic oh my god okay so today for you all the
praying mantis has appeared now this this animal spirit guide this animal ally
is almost always and and i say almost always because i am a voracious reader
of animal symbolism and meanings and their myths and their stories across all cultures i'm obsessed
and oh like everybody the immediate attributes that they give to the praying mantis right in
the world of totem spirit totem and power animals is that you know mantises will sit perfectly still
that you won't even know they're there they'll look like they're part of a branch or a part
of a plant or whatever and they don't move until the time is absolutely right for them
okay cool and that would give them you know that makes perfect sense they're they're they're cute
little arms are always up in a praying position or not always but you know that that's where we
get praying mantis from so that makes us um you know mindful of prayer it makes us uh mindful
of moving only when the time that we we really believe that the time is absolutely right and
it seems like it's a very peaceful um balanced kind of critter okay but it's one of the critters
that i i most closely associate because of what the animal allies have downloaded into me
is about duality and that is because uh you know so oh you know like a couple of the spiders out
there in the world and a couple of other uh insects they are known for cannibalism
praying mantises are known for cannibalism and in particular the female will bite the head off
of a male uh once she's done mating and for gosh for god even knows how long the um you
know the community at large mostly felt like she was hungry or she thought that the male was going
to be a threat to other babies or you know et all et all but a study in 2016 has shown that
when the female bites the head off of a male what that does is gets rid of that part of his brain
um that has any kind of inhibitions and so in a mating circumstance
due to the loss of inhibitions there's a lot more you know fertile little little swimmers
um then would be if he had his head on if he kept his head on right
you can't know you can't know how hard trying
to keep the obvious jokes inside you you just can't know you guys i fought for five years i
toured as a stand-up comic it just comes naturally to me all the jokes right um so that's that
doesn't mean you can't tell them so feel free to put them in the comments in the bottom feel very
free as a matter of fact i encourage you to put those jokes in the comments at the bottom but
um where i'm going with this is that study has shown that it's actually the male
gives gives his life up because the female praying mantis stores uh little floaters
to future uh fertilize future eggs and so it's it's actually for continuation of the species that
this occurs so is this a gruesome kind of thing sure do spiritual people want to think about these
kinds of things not really listen i would love to live my day every day all in love and light
and and that is always what i encourage people to come back to no matter what the situation is
let's find the light in that situation let's do this let's work towards this yes this is
happening but let's focus on this so we can have more of this and less of this right
but facts are facts and reality is reality and for people who are well you wild ones you're a
great example i i just cannot begin to tell you how i esteem you how i honor you how i admire you
you know we won't even talk about gratitude today i'll be boo so grateful for you guys and it's true
but but you all when people are really into animal symbolism like the for real deal of it
when you're really into any kind of spiritual path the for real deal of it not just the fluffy stuff
the the understanding and the wisdom that you have of how the universe works or how
we currently think it works but most importantly how you can apply it to your own life how you can
be in a deeper relationship not only with your own life but the people around you the animal kingdom
the world at large and so this this reading is today and and just so you guys understand i'm i
could flip a card at random and just tell you guys about the symbolism and meaning of that animal or
that tarot card or oracle card or whatever i could surely do that but that's not a reading
that is a let's see what card shows up today and yes i would trust that the universe the great
spirit god goddess at you know source the universe has sent the perfect animal or the perfect tarot
card for that day i truly would but each card has so many different levels of meaning that
it can mean one thing on one day and a different thing literally the next day or eight months later
and today in this time and moment when the sacral chakra is the chakra of the day when
mars the aggressive you know mars is driving that energy today is the go go go get it done day
i i i have to tell you um praying mantis has told me that this is not the time to be still this is
it it's always the time to pray right always whatever that means for you manifestations
um mantras you know whatever that's that's that's in that's perfect for any day
but for today um in this particular pick a card reading it is about taking that aggressive action
to make sure that you've got long-term survival now i'm not suggesting you go munch somebody's
you know head off i even metaphorically i'm not suggesting that that's just bad juju all the way
around but what that does mean is maybe you've got a person in your life that just is feeling very
inhibited um feeling very uh oppressed and it's time for them not to feel oppressed anymore and so
metaphorically while you would not be the one to kind of lop off their head and get rid of you
know all the mishigosh going on that's clouding everything and preventing them from moving forward
you might be the person that could help them understand how to move forward and how to be
more uninhibited you might be needing that information for yourself maybe this is a
sign for you to you know chop off your own head right munch on get that in and what i mean by
that is the thoughts the feelings the emotions that are inhibiting you or are oppressing you
from moving forward and especially if you are a prayerful person um or a mantra person or
you know your daily affirmations whatever it is if you're that person and you are continually
saying the same things but continually not getting where you are praying that you
want to go there are reasons for that and i can tell you they're all going to be up here somewhere
so getting rid of the mishigosh up here by allowing your inhibitions to be
you know to to de-inhibitionize yourself as a word look it up it's um that's the call for today now
because mars is the energy of today and because when praying mantis decides it's time to jump
they jump either today is that jump day or very very soon like within the next three or four days
maybe five days at the most it is that jump day and the other thing that it teaches us is
um you know when you start looking at feminine and masculine energies there's a definite thing
here about uh the feminine divine um that a lot of people attribute feminine power
that kind of thing to female praying mantises because they're the ones that consume the male
but okay but that can be an energy and not a gender right um maybe there's something
about you that it's time to let your more masculine tendencies uh come forward it's time to
maybe let your more warrior princess warrior queen you know shield maiden energies come forward
and and do it and do so without inhibitions the goal of which being is the long-term effects
that it's going to have oh thank you spirit goodness why couldn't you just send me that word
ten minutes ago okay the long-term effects the long-term effects that is the that's the mantra
of today what are the long-term effects of your actions regarding all the symbolism and meaning
around praying mantis today regarding all the symbolism and meaning around your sacral chakra
today because remember that's where passion resides it's that fiery beautiful orange right
and and is that is that chakra burning brightly or has it been oppressed is it dimmed is it you
know are you just have you been sitting still so long you're like if i did take a leap my knee
you know i'll help you get from here to here because my knees are all locked up right so uh
how big of a leap should you take well uh i'd have to check the facts on this but i think praying
mantis can jump like 10 or 15 times its body length something like that this is going to be a
big leap for you that may not look like a big leap for someone else but it will be a big leap for you
you're going to do great if you employ if you come in deeper relationship with all
of the lessons of today are praying mantis at the end of the day this is about the duality
we all have just tremendous light in us and we all have what we consider to be darkness in us for the
world that we live in yes this world definitely uh some of its constructs definitely include darkness
but our soul does not that's our spirit talking and so any time that you will
allow yourself to move past your spirit which resides in the physical world and connect with
your higher self with your with your soul which is pure unconditional love the deepest like things
that we can't even fathom we think we know but we won't remember until we're back there right
that's going to be the order of the day because when you do have to help someone else get rid
of all of this so that they can lose their inhibitions and and get you know de de-oppress
themselves or you've got to work with it with yourself that wow that brings up so much
just so much for so many people on so many different levels but the point is is that it has
your animal allies are here as your spirit animal today and your power animal again the duality
right the power animal it's the animal energy that you invoke from inside of you to accomplish
whatever it is you need to accomplish right and your spirit animal is that animal that just keeps
showing up to you showing up to you showing up to you and then you start connecting the dots
and you're like that's why so and so and such and such animal keeps showing up in my awareness right
in songs in movies on people's facebook feeds on their twitter et all this this
man i'm just well like a praying mantis i'm just praying that you'll see this reading today
for what it really is which is a tremendously empowering reading just tremendously empowering
and spirit told me to shut up the praying mantis like that's it i don't have anything
else left to say now i'm gonna go sit in reverend silence right so i hope this was
oh what a kooky sacred contract i signed up for great googly moogly i really do hope this was
helpful and i really hope if you pick up your copy of the ark animal tarot and oracle deck and oh hey
