Parting the Mists

Hmm, I might have to ignore my need for intellectual certainty? That’s certainly a lesson I’ve been working on a while! Hope everyone finds some wisdom in today’s card and having a good weekend.

Blessings!

Bobcat Spirit

Message: The bobcat moves furtively and mysteriously, and when Bobcat Sprite appears to you, she brings a powerful reminder that not all things in life can be explained or understood through the power of the intellect. Trying to figure things out, find local explanations, or predict what will happen based reason and facts will not provide you with the certainty and comfort you seek. Bobcat asks you to trust in the Great Mystery and let the secrets if the universe reveal themselves to you through direct experience. Allow your vision to slip into soft focus, and you will see between the lines and observe what has been hidden there all along.

Bobcat Spirit helps you know intimately the pulse of the Divine in the world. Trust in the wisdom and revelations that come to you, yet know that understanding may not come as you would like it to. What you experience through your heart and intuition, which comes to you as the voice of your inner knowing, will guide you now as you accept that secrecy is woven into the fabric of existence. No matter what, the appearance of Bobcat Spirit is a sign that you are being called to trust, even when what is revealed does not agree with your need for intellectual certainly.

Protection Message: Bobcat Spirit tells you this is not a time to reveal your deepest most cherished dreams and desires to others but rather a time to be quiet and gentle with yourself as truths begin to emerge in your awareness. Self-protection is called for, so be discerning, selective, and even secretive, revealing no more than is necessary. People have a way of imposing their opinions on you, so pay attention to whom you surround yourself with at this time. Be watchful and check your own motives as well as those of others as you keep your secrets to yourself for now rather than expose them to those who may potentially misunderstand your intentions or may not be supportive.

Let your logical mind take a rest as you start to perceive the energy of your environment. Bobcat wants you to be steady and wise, and keep your own counsel. Let yourself be a mystery yet to be revealed.
