DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
Wolverine spirit | Embrace your personal power.
An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.”
Martin Buber
Wolverine is thought to be a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds. He has the ability to survive in the most difficult terrains—and his message to you is of inner strength. Have you forgotten just how powerful you really are? If so, it’s time to refocus and re-dedicate—and remember that Wolverine medicine runs through your blood.
Wolverine’s meaning and symbolism bursts with intensity. There’s something raw and unpredictable here, a kind of primal energy. With Wolverine, you take a walk on the wild side.
Wolverine is a type of weasel being the biggest of its tribe. And like any weasel, Wolverine likes a little mischief, and sometimes all-out mayhem. Additionally, our friend Wolverine has the heart of a lion; this creature does not back down. Surrender doesn’t even exist in Wolverine’s mentality, which gives him impressive characteristics like determination and ferocity.
In nature, Wolverine is an aggressive critter. When it comes to their territory, tread very lightly. The minute Wolverine considers you a predator, they attack and defend in any way possible.
One thing you may not know about Wolverine is that it has a distinct smell that has given them the nickname “skunk bear” among Blackfeet Indians. The sent is not as harsh as a skunk. It’s muskier but very pronounced. In other words, Wolverine has a distinct “air” about him, one that makes him unique. Wolverine medicine celebrates individual talents, with the minor caveat of not making a “stink” and showing off.
Gulo Gulo, meaning glutton, is another name for Wolverine that’s been given to him by the scientific community. When hunting, Wolverine responds to his circumstances. While they will eat berries, they have a ravenous taste for meat. Oddly the Wolverine has a pretty balanced diet, so it’s uncertain how the overeating attribute became assigned to him (most feel this was an error in etymology). Perhaps it is a more energetic signature that says, “I take what I want when I want.” If so, Wolverine counsels us about applying restraint with our proverbial hungers.
Wolverines aren’t born ferocious. The female Wolverine carries zygotes in her body until she knows it’s safe to implant them and give birth in the best conditions. The little kits are totally helpless and depend on the mother and father for protection and sustenance. It is not until ten weeks of age that they begin learning the family trade of hunting.
Keywords and characteristics associated with Wolverine Spirit include assertive, determination, combative, clever, hardy, opportunistic, bravery, assurance, assertive, hardy, opportunistic, powerful, combative, primitive, protective, roguish, tough, transformative, trickster, untamed, warrior energy,
Wolverines habitat embraces Northern Canada, Alaska, Nordic regions, Russia and Siberia. The Norwegian term for Wolverine is Mountain Cat, Czech, and Polish –Fat Bellied, and Germanic – Little Wolf.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
X. 10 of Cups
Note: The numeral 10 has come up two days in a row so I’ve added a description of the number’s numerology at the end of this section.
On the Ten of Cups, there is a couple holding each other while facing a beautiful house and a green garden. Besides them, there are two children playing joyously. The couple is seen holding each other in a loving and romantic embrace, while the children are freely playing. The couple seems to be in a stable relationship, while also blessed with the abundance of a comfortable home and beautiful children. The green land signifies fertility, and the river shows how freely the feelings of the couple are flowing, meaning that their relationship is quite peaceful. Above in the sky, there are ten cups, shaped in an arc, which are meant to symbolize blessings from heaven. The rainbow behind them shows the end of hard times and sorrows and a new happy life that each and every one of the family will enjoy. The Ten of Cups card depicts ‘having it all’.
From its joyful depiction, we can assume that the Ten of Cups embody happiness, joy, contentment, and emotional satisfaction in your family, relationship, or companion. It represents an idyllic state of comfort, harmony, peace, and love which makes you feel like you are in paradise. This is where all your dreams, wants, needs and wishes have been fulfilled, and you feel a complete sense of satisfaction. Take a moment and breathe, look around you and be thankful for all your blessings. This card signifies something that so many of us are searching for.
To see the Ten of cups is to indicate a true emotional fulfillment – one where the lonely self-satisfaction of the Nine of Cups is shared with others to create a true sense of community and family. It is the crystallization of the innocent will of the ace of cups. After learning how to love oneself, the Nine of Cups matured into the Ten of Cups, which at its core is about how true happiness stems from forging authentic bonds and connections with others. This card is most associated with a sense of ‘happily ever after’ – of family, of lasting harmony and peace.
To see the Ten of cups is to indicate a true emotional fulfillment – one where the lonely self-satisfaction of the Nine of Cups is shared with others to create a true sense of community and family.
This is an indication of a harmonious family, for the card shows you that you are living in perfect peace. No more adjustments or shifting is needed, you are in the right, just relax and enjoy your moment. In a love reading, this card shows that it is romantic, real, and genuine – and has a strong potential for something long-term. It deserves all your effort to make it come true.
The Ten of Cups could also indicate a family holiday where you can relax and spend time with family members.
10 Numerology: The essence of the number 1 is an inversion of the essence of the number 0. The number 1 steps away from a oneness or wholeness with everything and transmits a different vibration from the 0 (or any other number for that matter).
The number 10 is a combination of the 1 and 0 vibrations. The 0 tones down the number 1 to make for independence that isn’t as harsh as that of the number 1.
A divine number, 10 means a return to unity, the fusion of being and non-being. The number 10 denotes the completion of a cycle, making 10 very skilled at whatever they choose to do, but they do so on their own terms.
The number 10 reduces to the number 1, so independence is of obvious importance for the 10.
After all, feeling one with everything does not inspire exploration like feeling independent from everything.
The Pythagoreans believed that the number 10 was the greatest of all numbers because 10 grasps all arithmetic proportions.
The Pythagoreans took their oaths by the number 10 perhaps because they considered 10 to be the holiest of numbers. The Richter scale and the French Revolution Calendar (not used since 1806) are based on the number 10.
In Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune card concerns the beginning of a new cycle. The Wheel of Fortune card may indicate an unexpected inheritance or if reversed, a turn for the worst.
In astrology, the number 10 is associated with Capricorn, a sign telling of career, determination, and ambition.
In the birth chart, the tenth house is the highest point of the chart, much like the number 10 represents one’s highest potential.
In mythology, it took Odysseus ten years to return home to the wife and son he left behind when he went to war.
During this time, he experienced many hardships with the last of his men until he was the only one remaining.
JANUARY 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR
1/21/2023 NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN: Your relationship with your emotions might be more complicated because Moon in Aquarius has a strong need for emotional freedom. However, when you are in a group of people, it is easier for you to understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger, and jealousy.
1/28/2023 FIRST QUARTER IN TAURUS: Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life. The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things. When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.
