Thank you.
Bells—Deflection
Shamans use the sound of bells to ward off evil spirits and dark or lower energies who seek to hurt or damage a person’s soul. In some regions of Siberia, Shamans have a staff made of iron to which bells and other pieces of metal are attached that make a metallic rattling as they walk about.
Bells can ring loudly, or be quite mild in tone, yet the meaning is the same as the person ringing the bells or the evil spirits being warned to leave. By tradition, the person ringing the bells is silent. This focuses the attention of the dark spirits on them.
This is a time to ward off dark spirits trying to damage you or your dreams and intentions. Stay silent and to not let those around you know your intentions, hopes, and goals. In the work space, this can be co-workers who are competing with you for a promotion, or some other advancement or recognition.
Bells may also refer to warning bells intended to warn people away from a truth that someone does not want to share with you or others. Pay attention to the sound of the bells and how intensely they ring and who is silent where they ring the bells. This may lead you to understand what is hidden or where the truth is.
Consider that walking away is not the worst you can do. Negativity and hidden truths drain you and your essential energies. You do not need to suffer that. Do not help others embroiled in dark energies. They will drain your energies while trying to help themselves.
Shamans use bells to clear spaces and people during ceremonies. Clear your space, your home, your vehicle and your workspace. As you do so, allow the sound of the bells to raise your own spiritual vibration. This will not only help your understanding of shamanism; it will shed the negative energies and allow continue to grow and prosper materially and spiritually in life.
Wonders
In ancient times, natural rock crystals such as amethyst, citrine, rose, clear or smoky quartz were all revered. Australian Aboriginals called it Maban, and it was the crystal through which Shamans and elders gained their magical powers.
Crystals are also used in the manifestation of intentions, both good or ill. If a crystal is found on the surface of the ground, it is especially potent for the finder as the two came together in an open natural environment.
The card has come to you with a message of impending abundance and possibilities arriving soon. Embrace the opportunities and changes coming to you. The more you do so, the more will manifest for you.
It is time to celebrate all abundance and possibilities coming to you. No matter how small or large, applaud them all. Most important as you celebrate release all expectations of what the Universe will gift you. Be open to all that comes your way, reject nothing.
