West signifies introspection and seeking higher truth within so turn your Eagle eyes inward. Eagle in the West is telling us March is a time for going within, scrutinizing our connection to Spirit, and fine-tuning our inner lives.

Dreams put you in touch with supernatural worlds. Know that these worlds are real. Snake may be protecting you in some way. Old Shaking Tail may be trying to warn you about the need to take care of some pressing matter you have overlooked and that is staring at you unblinkingly right in the face. Seeing a Snake may mean that change has come suddenly upon you. Be ready for it. Snake can ease your transition.

David Carson and Jamie Sams are the authors of the “Native American wisdom” book and card set with forty-four animals providing lessons. The card reading uses a simple four-direction Medicine Wheel Spread with an East card (1), a South card (2), a West card (3), a North card (4), and a Centering card (5), which is placed in the center. The random card selections were Hummingbird, Horse, Otter, Ant, and Bear. The question: what are the best medicines to consider for the month of May 2023? You're also entitled to free prescriptions if you or your partner (including civil partner) receive, or you're under the age of 20 and the dependant of someone receiving: a continuing physical disability that means you cannot go out without the help of another person (temporary disabilities do not count, even if they last for several months)

I initially borrowed these cards from a friend and connected with the cards instantly, then had to buy them for myself. The cards not only provide accurate readings, they also help you to connect with your spirit animals. Both the book and cards fit perfectly together. The book alone is fantastic for learning about spirit animals. I would highly recommend getting these cards. The MedEx lasts for 5 years and then needs to be renewed. You may receive a reminder that your certificate needs to be renewed. SOUTH. Card Number 20, Mouse—Scrutiny. The sacred wheel is an ancient teaching hoop originating in Native America. South represents substance on the Medicine wheel as opposed to spirit which is in the North. The South Color is red and the South season is the life-affirming summer. Summer is the time of youth and learning–a time of seeking identity. Mouse is placed in the South of the medicine wheel by many tribes—the place of the children’s lodge, the lodge of trust and innocence. Mouse is a timid and meek animal and tells you never to swell up and become self-important. By nature, Mouse is quiet and unassuming, flexible and adaptable. Mouse is usually on high alert because Mouse is food for the many. Mouse is aware of the dangers all around them and knows how to beat a hasty retreat when necessary. Mouse may suggest you consider exiting a certain unpleasant situation. Take a baby step or two and call on Mouse Spirit for help in making the right decision and for guidance in planning and executing your escape.NORTH. Card Number 9, Butterfly—Transformation. North on the medicine wheel speaks of elders, knowledge keepers, and intellectual pursuits. It signifies the mind and our thought processes. Butterflies are exceptionally beautiful and make most people smile and become happy in the moment. Butterfly symbolizes lightness of spirit, dumping your weighty and worldly baggage and being free. Butterfly dances in the air and reminds us of the loveliness of life—beauty and expansion. You may indeed be approaching a crossroads and about to take the next most important step in your spiritual development, your personal journey. Do not resist self Transformation. Go with it. You may be seriously considering a bold new move or a new positioning because Butterfly spirit is fluttering all around you in June–a true and wondrous blessing. CENTER. Card Number 2, Hawk—Messenger. The Center of the wheel is the place of healing and enlightenment. Center is the mindful place of the real you—the eternal consciousness of right now in the present, in this very moment in time. The Center is always there. It is your stance. It is the here and now of your deep inner self. But in a certain sense, there is no Center. Before you can catch the moment, it is gone—moving on. You may or may not be able to catch the moving Center but you can always catch the Message if you pay attention and that’s the important thing. You must listen and contemplate and find synchronicity with your inner and outer knowing—Hawk’s lesson. a permanent fistula (for example, a laryngostomy, colostomy, ileostomy or some renal dialysis fistulas) requiring continuous surgical dressing or an appliance Your GP will sign the form to confirm that your statement is correct.
