Guess what? I also have a few for today. *grimace*

Gnat - Transformation
Horse - Power

Seal - Protection during change

I think I'll do today's message first.

Transformation with power, using balance and harmony, provides protection during change. *is going to elaborate*
Spiritual and mental transformations with intense will-power, using balanced judgement and harmony with all and self, provides protection during critical times of change.

Heeey. It's easier to elaborate than talk to myself about it. *grin* O whell, I will anyways.

Spiritual and mental transformations (which I'm going through right now) with intense will-power (you gotta WANT the transformations to happen), using balanced (unbiased) judgement and harmony with all and self (be true to yourself and don't put on airs for others), provides protection during critical times of change (when you're most vulnerable, you'll be protected).

Okay, got that. That's nice. I like that. And since I'm already doing what the message suggests, I suppose it's just a reassurance that in vulnerable times to come, I needn't fear, 'cause I'll be protected. I really, really like that. Now for the huge long list of SEVENTEEN above. (From now on, I'm gonna try my best to do this every day, instead of waiting and forgetting some and such. Miff.)

Empowering oneself with psychic sight aids in gaining self-confidence.

Oh, nice. I suppose this has to do with my little fetish on learning clairvoyance lately, doesn't it. *laughs* Okay, makes sense. Might as well talk it out, too.

Empowering oneself (which doesn't mean power over others, it means power of the soul to stand up to challenges and take opportunities as they come) with psychic sight (if you can psychically see what's going on around you, of course you'll be more prepared and therefore, more powerful) aids in gaining self-confidence (when you're prepared and powerful, of course you're gonna have self-confidence!).

(Jezz, Raven writes his own message!)
Comfort in solitude facilitates changes in consciousness and leads to new occurences.

Comfort in solitude (being okay alone, liking your personal space and time, able to quiet down, be yourself, and maybe soul-search without becoming depressed) facilitates changes in consciousness (soul-searching will reveal new things about yourself, and who you want to be, so naturally you'll affect those changes as best you can) and leads to new occurences (when changes are made, people and situations will notice and begin to change themselves and their points of view to adapt to the better person you've become - in effect, your life improves).

Oh, I like that too. I really do.

Spirit teaching guides one in developing psychic senses.

Spirit teaching (hopefully provided by the recent appearance of Wolf as a major totem, and fueled by my passion for learning and knowledge, and my absolute adoration of Wolf himself) guides one in developing psychic senses (well that's easy, work with Wolf and learn, and learn his medicine, and that'll unlock latent talents involving psychic senses).

Comfort with shadow self releases freedom.

Oh I like the sound of this one. *grins*

Comfort with shadow self (knowing innately who you are, what your negative habits and thoughts and actions are, and being able to think of them without shying away from the truth - basically, knowing your 'darker' side) releases freedom (you know, you realize, and you live with your shadow side easily, and are free from guilt and the nasty habits that you may've once had).

Bold self-expression assists in soul healing and understanding magick.

Bold self-expression (be yourself and ONLY yourself, regardless of what anyone else says and ignore any futile attempts to stop you from being you, by people who may not want to see you happy, successful, and/or strong) assists in soul healing (which, for me, includes working with and understanding your shadow side, and getting rid of all negative aspects of your life) and understanding magick (easy - Know Thyself - first rule of magick!).

Introspection and change, done with attitude and fearlessness, embodies the skill of mind over matter.

Introspection (soul-searching) and change (changing yourself for the better, once you know yourself), done with attitude (preferably a positive, bold attitude where you believe you can do anything and you are bold enough not to quit easily) and fearlessness (don't fear change!), embodies the skill of mind over matter (this probably refers to my recent attempt at telekinesis and my friend's sudden manifestation of this skill to a high level - things go flying around the room! and I've been trying constantly to do this.... but mind over matter is TK's definition.... so soul-searching and positive change, with good, bold attitude and fearlessness, will help me develope the skill and/or unlock a talent for it).

Ah, I like that. Very, very much. *grins brightly* I never did care for the passive approach to meditating, or soul-searching.

Physical protection and severe revenge tactics are occasionally necessary to protect the Light from energy siphoners.
(Is siphoner a word? O whell.)

Physical protection and severe revenge tactics (taking it a step beyond what would be 'fair' or 'just') are occasionally necessary to protect the Light (someone who is clearly not 'evil') from energy siphoners (ones who would steal a Light's energy and life, making life itself torturous and horrible).

Gee, could this refer to me calling upon Gryphon to help my friend? Yes, yes it could. Does, for that matter. *frowns at the thought* Would you do me a kind favor, either AS and/or Marilyn, and suggest things I could do for her? She's in an abusive home, across the country for me. She's my best friend, as well, and physically, I can't help her. If I called the police anonymously, her mom would probably beat her to death. I did my very first, hurried, shabby, urgent ritual, calling four mythical spirits to help her in ways I cannot - Griffin, Sin-you, Mer-people, and Garuda. All were called for their senses of justice, protection, or punishment of evil humans. But, the point is, can I help her in any other way that I'm not thinking of? I'd really like your opinions on this.

Okay, well, that's all. That's all the messages that I should've heard earlier. Or not? Is it planned that I would procrastinate and be busy, too busy, and then end up with the animals in THIS order? *wide eyes* ISSA CONSPIRACY! *ahems* Sorry, two nights of little sleep. Makes for a weird Sash.
