Rise and shine wild ones.
It is Bernadette.
I am here on this gorgeous Monday, October the 5th for your pick a card tarot reading.
And guess what?
Bam Mr. Eel has shown up so you know what's gonna happen right?
Okay everybody sing it with me.
It's Monday I know you're just getting in the groove of things so wherever you're at
even if you got a toothbrush in your mouth you gotta stop and you gotta sing what?
[singing] We gonna rock down to electric avenue and then we'll take it higher.
Good god.
We gonna rock down to electric avenue and then we'll take it higher. [singing]
Yes you gotta start your week off like that.
Yes you do.
Because Mr. Eel has slithered in to say listen, yeah it's Monday, okay.
Yeah I know not all eels are electric feels.
But really they're the only ones you can sing about, honestly.
And that's what makes them so fun.
Plus, look at that face.
Who doesn't, do an eel impression with me this morning you guys.
Yes.
You look like eel, you know you do.
You gotta have that dopey smile they always have.
I don't think they think they're smiling but we do because why?
Because we assign, we love to assign human emotions to animals.
It's my favorite thing to do.
It's my favorite thing to argue about too when people say animals don't have emotions.
But, anyway let's get back to your Monday and why eel has slithered in.
Okay so it's interesting because Mondays are the root chakra day right.
Which so you're kind of like then why is the water element all up in my Monday?
Well because the water element is all about the feels.
And Mondays are ruled by the moon.
And that's all about emotions.
And mon, you know moons control the tides.
They're very heavily tied into the water element.
And then you've got the snake energy.
Now I find a lot that people want to lump eel energy and with snake energy.
And and I can see that.
And there are certain elements, although that's true it's about sexuality and the Kundalini
and you know all of those kind of things.
But when you talk about a creature who lives under water pretty much their whole life and
they also are very known for burrowing into the mud, that just so crazily ties the earth
element with the water element that when you feel those emotions, especially on a Monday,
especially a day that's governed by the moon, and and people's emotions are like this up
and down anyway on Mondays, it it it can be a real call that you might be stuck in the
mud.
You might be really rooted in some kind of emotion or idea of what's going on or idea,
a fear of of what's going to happen because of what's going on or whatever.
Don't do that.
Come up from out of that mud.
Swim through your water.
Get yourself clean.
Shake it off.
That doesn't, today is just a really good day to examine is this how I truly feel?
Is this how I'm still gonna feel tomorrow?
Is it just still what I'm gonna think the next day, the next day, the next day?
And then make your decisions from that, right.
Okay so also when we see eels that is also very different than snakes.
Because snakes you know they don't have eyesight great they they kind of navigate their way
by feeling the vibrations of the earth.
Whereas eels in the water, they have worse eyesight than regular snakes.
Poor people.
Poor, you know, no-legged peoples.
And so they emit an electrical signal like a radar and it pings off of things and that's
how they find their way around.
So that's going to be something definitely to take a look at today because this day rides
so high with emotion.
We're already being in the water element.
We've already, we already know that eels are connected with snake energy which can also
mean transformation.
Epic transformation.
And we already know that you might be stuck in the mud, feeling things that may not suit
your best purpose, they may not be warranted.
So if you can find your way clear to come up from out of that mud and just sit for a
minute and and just in a place of non-judgment, allow the moon energy to come in, allow eel
medicine to come in, allow eel you know energy to come in.
And show you where to ping your spidey senses so you know what you really should be going
toward and you know what you really should be going away from.
And you'll be able to feel that more sensitively today than probably any other day this week.
Just because all of the energies are tied together.
Now, just from a numerology standpoint, yes I know that if we were going to go deep, deep
into numerology we would you know take the month and add that to the day and add it to
the year and reduce it to one number, I get all that.
But I, I don't have that many fingers to count like that.
But any time that I do a reading for someone like I'm doing a reading for all you you know
wonderful wild ones out there today, I always go with what spirit tells me .
And spirit keeps telling me to point out that today is a five, a five, a five, October fifth.
And that's going to bring in earth, air, fire, water, spirit.
You've got that five-pointed star.
So it's really called today for you to take into consideration the whole circle of everything
that's going on and consider every point, even if even if it's a point you don't want
to consider because maybe it means that you were wrong about something or you overreacted
about something or you walked away from something you didn't really want to walk away from.
Is there a fear driving that?
Is there, but you know maybe you walk towards something you didn't really want to walk toward.
But you were afraid to say no.
Or you know I don't know how it will shake out for you today but there definitely is
a call for that.
And it is going to require you to find a space in a place where you can just sit quietly
you know just for a hot minute and, and really let that psychic part of yourself open up
and be willing to see whatever comes through.
Now, I see snakes a lot when people have in particular fear and anger lodged at the base
of their spine.
Man, and they'll even get dragons right, it'll even show up as a dragon sometimes because
all that serpent energy is kind of all tied together at different levels, in different
ways.
So if there is something that you've been harboring and you feel very pressurized, I
mean think about it, eels, you know eels are at the way you know under the sea, take it
from me, their way down there because they can handle the pressure.
But the human body can't handle that pressure.
So when we start to build up that kind of emotion, that kind of whatever we're manifesting,
making up in our mind, our actions and reactions, it can lodge at the base of our spine.
And it's it it's really calling on you today to maybe just give yourself that jolt of electricity.
You know get yourself moving again.
Get that, get those things unstuck from out of the bottom of your chakra, you know your
root chakra, especially because today is root chakra day.
And even though, you know, I know I'm crazy y'all I pull a card I'm like well I can't
be wearing this, I you know let me go change.
So I pull cards and then I I go change right so I can wear the energy of that card and
I'm just all housed in my purple today because again I just think okay we're in October,
we're headed towards the time of the year when the veil is the thinnest on October 31st.
It's a very psychic month.
We get into the middle of the month it's ruled by Scorpio, a very psychic sign.
Now we're doing this on the number five.
We're doing this in the moon energy.
And now we've got a version of a snake that's got all of that.
So, while eel may not be oh that's my dog Hops, while eel may not be one of the sexy
spirit animals, you know listen nobody wakes up in the morning and dreams of getting an
eel, they dream of a tiger, a lion, a you know a bear, an eagle, a hawk nobody dreams
of getting an eel.
And yet it is an extremely powerful omen for today.
So when you're considering you know is eel today let me and let me just say that eel
is in the bonus oracle pack in the Ark Animal Tarot and Oracle Deck, which is my award-winning
deck that is based on the Rider Waite tarot card system.
So it has 78 regular tarot cards and then it has 22 bonus cards.
Well one of the reasons that eel wanted to be in that bonus deck was if you're doing
a reading you're like I need a tiebreaker or maybe I'll, I'll get a little more clarity,
it is such an ancient, ancient wisdom to bring in.
And now we've got the wisdom of mama ocean that it's been living in forever.
It's such a call for you to know that your ancestors are always around you.
Are always, are always accessible to you to give you the energy and the and the knowledge
and the vision and the wisdom that you need, as long as you're willing to accept it.
And oftentimes what I'm finding these days is that many of the old like adages, maybe
like that my generation or generations before, you know some of our belief systems about
how things, how kind of how you do things, to set things up to last forever, to be solid,
to be stable, that's not so much followed today.
And there's a lot of disposability into society.
And today is really asking you, it's kind of twofold.
Don't get stuck in the mud, but don't be afraid to make a commitment.
Don't don't be afraid to decide what you really want to do hunker down and root into and let
grow over time.
When when you talk about transformation, people use that word a lot: shape shifting, transmutation.
They use that word a lot in the metaphysical industry.
But unless you've really had to, pardon me one second Hops, come on honey.
Unless you've had to rebuild your life, rebuild your health, start over from ground zero,
you know having children that's a whole transformation thing all in of itself, it can be really difficult
to wrap your head around what it really takes to glide through, successfully swim through
a real transformation.
So don't be afraid of it.
You might be being called to just go ahead, plant yourself where you are and let that
transformation begin, and just ride it out.
Snakes also and eel is no exception, they have to do with your health.
And you know the the two intertwined snakes on the medical symbol, the caduceus, so if
you're looking at this today, you're watching this today, eel might be showing up as your
spirit animal to have you take a good look at your health mentally, physically, emotionally,
what's going on there?
And are you in the healthiest space and if you're not what steps do you need to take
what do you need to see and move towards that?
If eel is your totem animal, you're very comfortable with masculine energies, you're very comfortable
with sexuality.
You might be a counselor.
You might be a really good help mate for people that are questioning your own sexuality or
afraid to you know try new things or tell their partners what they like or they don't
like you know anything having to do with that.
And that's great because there's such a a culture of shame and a culture of secrecy
around that whole thing .
Oh my god if people would just get over it, it would solve half the problems in the world,
right.
All right now if you want to invoke eel as your power animal .
And you want to align that part of you which is eel, that part of you that spirit, there's
something about you that is really yearning to be set free.
There's something that you're rooted in, that you feel trapped, in that you feel mired to
or anchored to, you don't have to be that.
You can escape that anytime you want.
And eel can help you do that, and it really may be you know yes we were singing cheesy
rock down to electric avenue at the beginning because it's fun and who doesn't love to sing
that, my god karaoke and a margarita I'm there right, okay.
So that said remember electricity is a very real thing.
And it is the thing that can bring people back from the dead, you know clear.
And the next thing you know, it's jump-started your heart.
And that's really when we're stuck we're not ever stuck any place other than in our heart
what paddles do you need today what kind of resuscitation do you need today to jump start
your heart?
I won't sing that song for you guys, it's a great song though.
So again you know take eel seriously today, even if you want to do that cheesy.
I know I look just like him, right.
Even if you want to do that there's some serious undercurrents going on today.
That don't have to be negative serious, they just need some real paying attention to.
So, I hope that's helpful.
