12. Arrow - Truth as protection (excerpt)
Protect yourself by using the truth as protection. It does not matter what others think, you know the truth. When you honour that truth you cannot be hurt by the lies of others.
Arrow also speaks of the idea of Brotherhood. This is to say that you must armour yourself with good intent and thankfulness of those you wish to associate with. Drop those who would no longer honour your path or your truth. Remember the arrow is always straight and says 'stay on the sacred path'

A Thank you to life, the universe and everything
Thanks for the love that flows from my being
Thanks for showing a new way of seeing
Thanks for each new beautiful day
Thanks for the garden in which we play
Thanks for the souls that guide with their light
Thanks for the darkness from which we gain sight
Thanks for connections surrounding us all
Thanks for the times when I slip and fall
Thanks for the strength to get up again
Thanks for the joy of the dance in the rain
Thanks for the magic, the stars in the sky
Thank you for showing that we do not die
Thanks for my family thanks for my friends
And thanks for the journey, its twists and its bends
Thanks most of all for this gift of living
And for all the love, the receiving and giving.

Sacred Path Cards -by Jamie Sams
4. Peyote Ceremony - New Abilities (excerpt)
"When the people's spirit was broken
When the buffalo no longer roamed
When all our lands were taken
We no longer had a home
The water birds reflection
Of the universe within
Showed us new abilities
And gave us hope again"
"The peyote ceremony is a sacred ritual that propels the spirit into the
crack in the universe where there is no time, no space, just the raw
energy of Creation coming from the Great Mystery. Once people see the
truth and touch eternity, there is no way to strip them of their dignity
or their knowing"
The reading
If the Water Bird has flown your way and brought you the Peyote Ceremony you are asked to recognise your immortal spirit. Look into the crack in the universe for new ways to develop and the abilities that can enhance your growth. Remove any denial that keeps you from developing new skills and use the talents you have to the fullest.
The peyote ceremony puts you on notice that opportunities to discover the Self and for expansive growth are now possible. You are never as limited as you believe you are. The true self is filled with potential. Conquering limitation created in the mind will allow you to discover these new abilities and know that all goals are possible.

Another beautiful day
Today, even the mist seemed to have a mysteriously beautiful soft pink quality to it.

The Faery Oracle - Brian Stroud, Jessica Macbeth
CARD NO. 23
THE GREEN WOMAN (excerpt)
Wildness, Natural Magic, Gratitude, Untrammeled Creativity
The green woman dances naked in the moonlight - and the sunlight - and the shadows as well. She doesn't care what you think of her, she knows her own worth from her experience of life. She is the feminine Vital vegetative force that enables a root to crack through stone a reed to bend in the wind and the oak to stand against the storm.
The graceful slow motion dance of the Green Woman shows us how to release the constraints of artificial rules and find our own pattern and growth. Each of us, rooted or not has an inborn pattern to guide our own growth.
Reading
The Green woman speaks to us of caring for our own growing ground and of the physical satisfaction of being our natural selves and practicing our own innate magic. This is a time for enhancing the growth of our talents and abilitites a time of blossoming that will bear fruit. It may also be a time of growing maturity and self confidence, trust yourself and the process.
She councils boldness and perseverence in the face of adversity and also reminds us that sometimes the action called for is to wait patiently and keep growing.
