Spiders and Parasites and Wrong Turns, OH MY

I recently started working with a Lemurian seed crystal. This is a very powerful crystal. It makes my body throb with the vibration and sends me difficult messages in the dreamtime.

Dreams about spiders that want to jump on me and hold me down. Dreams about spiders that spin webs that bind me. Dreams about prehistoric parasites in my left hand with rows and rows of sharp pointy teeth, perhaps reminding me that I have the power to hurt as well as heal. This was not just one dream, but a series of them. I do not consider them to be the beautiful dreams about creativity that spiderwoman can bring, but dreams about conniving people or situations trying to hold me back. Perhaps it is my own self that is the spider and the parasite, afraid of my own power and my true potential.

Yesterday I came across a new stone, calcite, and worked with that one in the dreamtime. It is a soft and sweet honey yellow stone whose immediate message was "I will take you there". It made my left had throb as I held it. I had dreams of missed turns, taking a longer route than necessary, returning to places where I am not liked or wanted, driving into water and having to backpaddle out in order to make the correct turn. Can't ask for anything more clear than that.

All of this is clearing, cleansing, revealing my fears in such a way that I can release them and move forward in confidence. I will look more carefully at my options and make wise decisions. Perhaps the "seat of your pants" philosophy is not working any more. Waiting to see what someone else is doing or asking for advice or approval is no longer an option. Taking action for myself. This will set me further apart from the tribe, and perhaps that is where I am supposed to be.

The Shaman's tent is always a little beyond the tribal grounds.

Blessed Be
