The Sun The Moon, The Stars, and Maya is an inspiring book by Rich Okun. As Rich write in his book; “Our lives are bombarded with things that can take us away from the special connections we are capable of. Each of us has the ability to demonstrate love, compassion, gratitude and generosity. We can choose to live our lives by the golden rule. We can make time to appreciate the exquisite construction of our planet, and experience the joys of nature. We can look towards the star spangled heavens, appreciate the velvet silence, and draw peace from spirituality. We have the ability to find beauty in simplicity, and we can marvel at the complexity of what, at first glance, appeared deceptively simple. Many of us have just forgotten how. In today’s busy, electronics oriented world, dominated by distractions, special effects, and noisy shoot ‘em ups, simple earth based spiritual and moral issues have been effectively obscured from view and buried in the smoky haze of the fiery explosion of Computer Generated Images. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Maya was created to help families discuss important issues with their children. Illustrations of Maya, the Shih Tzu puppy muse, in complementary settings, accompany bits of wisdom relating to spiritual and moral issues. Notable quotations are the inspiration for Maya’s simple-language lyrical interpretations meant to evoke awe and wonder in all things and capture the imagination of

the child and the child within the parent. Rich’s inspiration of the book “The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Maya” and his website are offered in an effort to contribute to a better world. “My story; I have always wanted to do something creative. When I was very young, my mother encouraged my involvement in the arts, with Accordion Lessons (which didn’t last, but also in my drawing. At 6 years old, I was the youngest member of the Art Students’ League of New York, across the street from Carnegie Hall, however my careers were a little bit of everything else including flying airplanes, and corporate positions in both established and startup companies. Nothing felt right and I was always a fish out of water wherever I had a job.”

“After leaving corporate America and trying a partnership in an online retail I had created a blog. The business had a spiritual aspect, which I wanted to explore so I would take quotes from famous people and then write a short interpretation of that quote- I would then find photographs to accompany the poem. These became quite popular on the blog and through social media.” “Fast-forward to April of 2011 our beloved Sammy, a 15-year-old Shih Tzu died. After months of watching me mope around, my wife thought it was time for a new family member, and it was evident that Maya chose us to be her family.I have been and am like Tevye, the father from Fiddler on the Roof always talking to God, asking advise, offering suggestions, sharing something funny, a prayer or two, etc. For as long as I can remember and everyday since, like so many other people, I asked what should I be doing with my life, why am I here, how can I help? One hot summer day, while walking Maya I heard a soft whisper inside my head, guiding me to further develop this format using Maya as a muse and illustrating her in appropriate settings to help children and parents discuss spiritual matters. I decided to listen.

Rich spent his life in various corporate positions. He was the youngest member of the Art Students’ League of New York and after many years and different careers; he now devotes his focus to creative passions. He has spent a lifetime studying many different ancient spiritual belief systems and was inspired to action when a new puppy, Maya came to town. Rich lives in Connecticut with his wife, Maya and 4 cats. http://www.thesunthemoonthestarsandmaya.com/ http://www.prweb.com/releases/RichOkun/06/prweb10829786.htm

Love Letters By Bobbie Stuart bobbiestuart.com

“Infinite Love and Gratitude” by Bobbie Stuart

“Between the sheets, secrets and sorrows stream, heart in hand, pouring liquid love. Tell all, words yet unspoken, ride the wave that caresses the shore; only love matters.” Several years ago I was having a macrobiotic lunch with my youngest son and we were joyfully conversing about life. I had mentioned a special letter within the telling of a story about an old friend. I went on describing, as I tend to do, detailing the feeling I got every time I read the letter, the feel of the paper, the dried flower, now crumbled within its aging 8 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013

papers, the handwriting, all curly cues and flourishes, and just how exhilarating it always is for me to read it, recapturing that time in my life when I first read it. My friend was gone, but through the alchemy of this magic letter, is still alive, stirring my senses and infusing my imagination with loving memories.


Suddenly my dear generation Gen Y son was very quiet and just stared at me. Finally he spoke, ”I’ve never ever gotten a real letter on paper with real writing, Mom.” His statement made me gasp and drop my fork onto my kale and butternut squash. “What, you mean nobody ever wrote you a letter, like a real letter with handwriting and everything?” I asked. Suddenly I felt like a failure as a mother and somehow had raised a seriously deprived child. How could I have let this happen? Why didn’t I write him letters? Spreading guilt began to upset my stomach, assuring my remaining lunch a trip in a take-home container.

that even the post office felt. My father had been a mailman for my entire childhood, so I took this very seriously. What if there were no more letters, no more intimate written communications, no more Post Office?

I searched for stationery stores, which no longer exist, replaced now by designed papers in specialty shops or art store fancy stock. Finally I found a thin grey writing paper set in a fancy French Boutique.

I imagine him carefully carrying its precious contents up his stairs to silently undress the letter and unleash the magic within.

I even design, draw upon and beautify the envelope so the carriers and all who see it will benefit before the intended even receives their treasure.

Accelerating Spiritual Growth by Facing our Fears by Sherri Cortland, ND www.sherricortland.com

Fear is something that keeps us from moving forward. Sometimes the things we’re afraid of represent residual fear from experiences we’ve had during previous lifetimes, and sometimes what we fear is the result of something that happened to us during our current lifetime. Facing our fears one by one and overcoming them begins with the understanding that we absolutely have the power to overcome them; and the rewards for facing our fears include increased confidence, stress reduction, and accelerated spiritual growth. Whether our fear is residual or new, our ego feeds it. The ego is and has always been necessary to our survival as we live our lives on planet Earth, but it is also the biggest block to our spiritual growth. Our ego, which is our conscious mind, is only a small part of who we are. The ego reflects itself in our personality, and is the representation, the sum total, of all we’ve learned and experienced--however, it’s more of a cover identity, so we can move past our ego, overcome our fears, and accelerate our spiritual growth.

As we continue to raise our vibrations, part of our evolutionary process is breaking free of our ego and becoming aware that we are so much more than the role we are playing during our current incarnation. At the heart of our spiritual growth is the understanding or awareness of who we really are, the knowing that we are an aspect of God/Creator/ Source, and as such we have the power to overcome our fears and create better lives for ourselves. In order to achieve this awareness, we must unlock the handcuffs that keep us bound to the belief that what we are physically in this incarnation is all that we are. Moving past our ego is the key to unlocking these handcuffs, and to breaking free of the shackles that keep us locked in fear. Understanding that we manufacture our fear means that we can make a conscious choice to face our fears, overcome them, and let them go. Making the decision to face our fears is a substantial step forward when it comes to taking control of our lives and accelerating our Spiritual growth. 13 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013


Daily meditation will allow us to quiet our minds and provide our Higher Selves with an opportunity to help us understand who we are on a soul level, which will help us move past our ego. When it comes to overcoming our fears, we start by facing them, and meditation can aid us in this endeavor. Facing our fear makes us more powerful and more in control of our lives, and here’s one way to get started: • Define exactly what it is that you’re afraid of; you have to know what it is in order to neutralize it. • Once you know what it is you’re afraid of; examine it, recognize it, and then let it go. Stop dwelling on it. • If you have trouble letting it go, meditate with intention on how to neutralize your fear. Sit down in a quiet place and ask your Higher Self to help you let go of the fear you’re holding onto. Listen for 14 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013

advice and guidance from your Higher Self. Follow what your gut, that little voice within, says to you during your mediation. • To let your fear go, visualize it leaving you: like a bird flying south for the winter, off goes your fear. You have the power to do this. Fear comes from within; it’s fed from both within and without. The sooner we acknowledge that we are powerful beings, and that our ego is no match for our soul, the quicker we’ll be able to let go of that fear and move forward. Fear keeps us from becoming all that we can be, all that we’re meant to be, and all that we planned to be during this incarnation. Remember that you are a powerful being, and use your power to accelerate your spiritual growth. Namaste. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=N2TJniVNq6w. www.examiner.com/metaphysical-inorlando/sherri-cortland Photo by: Heidi Winkler www.HeidiWinkler.com

One of the reasons that fear is able to take hold of us the way it does is because the majority of us try to avoid it, instead of facing it head-on. The universe gives us whatever we focus on, and if we focus on the things we’re afraid of, we will attract more of into our lives So, by trying to avoid what we fear, we end up spending a lot of time thinking about what fear, which tells the universe that this is something we’re interested in and something that we want more of. This is a prime example of why watching our thoughts and words is so important, and it’s an excellent example of the power that we each have to create our reality.

Reclaiming Our

Power

By Emmanuel Dagher Artwork by Maryam Morrison 16 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♼ June 2013


Peace and blessings, It’s such an honor and a joy for me to connect with you again! I feel so grateful knowing that no matter where we each are on our own personal journey, we can always pick right up where we left off and align with each other as if barely any time has passed by. It just confirms that we are all truly in this together. So, how have you been feeling my friend? Are you noticing the energetic temperature being turned up another notch, both in our personal lives and in the collective consciousness? The high amount of movement and activity happening in the ethers is directly sparking a great deal of movement and activity within and all around us.

that better aligns with the highest aspect of ourselves. When the energetic temperature rises as it is now, a call to action usually follows. This call to action is simple: We are being asked to let go of the facades, structures and stories that we and our ancestors have created for ourselves; we are being called to move simply into love. While being re-calibrated to a new heart centered way of existence, it’s completely normal to experience our energy and emotions as being all over the place. The key is to allow these energies and emotions to come up as they need to without judgment or trying to contain them. It’s also helpful to remember in the back of our minds that our emotions do not define who we really are at our core. If we can just view them as being similar to puffy white clouds in the sky that pass us by, then we can allow them to just move on without attaching ourselves to them.

We have most definitely moved past the time of hibernation and isolating ourselves in deep contemplation for long periods of time. If we haven’t been heeding the call already, then it’s time to come out of hiding to play and commune with the Releasing the Role of the Victim world again. Right now, we are being presented with Hiding ourselves in any way, and that in- an extraordinary opportunity to retire the cludes hiding our gifts, talents, wisdom, victim archetypes that we and our ancesmessage, and any other part of our pres- tors have identified with all this time. ence, will simply feel impossible.

Although at first it may feel like a world of only survival is a world that is one’s whole identity is being stripped no longer in alignment with who we are at away, this shift moving us out of hiding our core: a Divine Love Being. is creating a new path to ways of being 17 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013


As Divine Love Beings we are here to thrive our way into love with ourselves and the world around us. This divine part of ourselves has always known that we are constantly safe and protected, even when the survival based mind may have thought otherwise. So now, as we thank the victim archetypes that served us up to this point, we can let them go with joy and welcome in our Higher Selves.

er? By blaming, we keep ourselves held in a time and place that hinders us from evolving and reconnecting with our Highest most Divine Self. The third component to releasing victim consciousness is to take full responsibility of our lives and well being. Sometimes the victim mindset may display resistance when it hears that we are responsible for our lives and well being, because it had taken comfort in separating itself and buying into the illusion that whatever we need has to come from outside ourselves. It’s absolutely normal when this happens. However, by taking responsibility for our lives and well being, we are able to move out of victim consciousness and into Creator consciousness. It is in our Creator consciousness where we are able to move mountains. It is here that we are able to manifest from the most authentic and powerful aspect of ourselves.

Releasing the role of the victim is made up of several important components. The first component to releasing victim consciousness is to accept every person, experience and thing as it has shown up in our lives without trying to change it. By accepting these things, we are not necessarily affirming that we resonate or agree with them, however we are giving ourselves permission to not allow them to define who we really are. Through acceptance we also release the need dwell on By integrating these three components the past and what may have been. into our lives, we are sure to support our transition out of victim consciousness The second component to releasing vic- and into Creator consciousness more tim consciousness is to let go of blame. smoothly.

Those are mind structures that simply distract us from real love. Real Love is the constant that flows through all of life. When we choose to be love, we have the whole Universe behind us flowing in the same direction. Because of societal conditioning, many of us have been hesitant to reclaim our power, because we associate it with being corrupt or controlling. This kind of false power, also known as egoistic power, moves in the opposite direction of love. It likes to separate itself from the whole. Although this kind of power can appear quite real and convincing at times, the truth is that it’s not. Egoistic power is fleeting and will always at some point self destruct in its attempt to push against the natural flow of love and life. Egoistic power thrives on the energy of fear, because it’s the only thing convincing enough to move a person out of their true Divine power. Of course this forgetful period is temporary, but we’ve got to hand it to the energy of egoistic power for putting up a great show in trying to make itself last as long as possible.

ourselves and those around us to such a degree that we are able to transform even the most egoistic of powers into love. Power in Numbers As we move forward, we are being asked to unite in love. That is what’s happening right now. We no longer have to be on this journey alone. We no longer have to separate ourselves from each other by race, gender, roles, job titles, sexual orientation, etc. The Universe is consistently giving us opportunities to align with others who share a similar intention of uniting in love. “For where two or more are gathered in love, the greatest power resides.” This is the time to say “YES!” to reclaiming our power and to sharing our gifts with the world. We are all in this together, Till next time, Miraculously yours, Emmanuel

Life is always here for us and never against us. We can take comfort in knowing that by choosing not to buy into fear, we have every ounce of the Universe supporting us. Anything that tries to convince us otherwise, such as an idea that we are some small little helpless human being, or are lacking in some way, is just a fleeting illusion.

He began to realize that in order to heal physically, he first needed to understand himself as a Spiritual being. As he continued to delve deeper into his inner spiritual & healing journey, he began to notice many people around him spontaneously heal. He soon realized that with all the inner work he was doing, he was dissolving the veils that kept him from seeing others & himself as Divine Spiritual Omni Beings. As soon as he was able to gain this perspective, rapid healings began to unfold in his life & in the lives of others. The turning point was when Emmanuel witnessed the healing of his own spine manifest gradually as a result of working with healing & spiritual principles. He used this life-changing experience as a catalyst to co-create amazing transformation in the lives of others. Not only did he have the knowledge of how to heal, he also developed a powerful inner-knowing that it’s absolutely possible to heal. In fact,

this knowingness instantly surpassed all faith and belief he had in healing up to that point, which he believes is a major contributer to the success he continues to witness for his clients. Emmanuel looks at this sacred opportunity to serve others as one of the most precious gifts in the Universe, and is humbled to be open and willing enough to allow the Universe to use him as an instrument of healing & transformation. Emmanuel currently has a practice in Los Angeles, and also travels the world sharing his insights, healings, and gifts with others. Emmanuel also integrates sound healing into fun contemporary music that is used as a powerful tool for life-changing positive transformation for the listener.

EXCERPT FROM THE IMPECCABLE WARRIOR OF LIGHT

WHY DO WE NEED TO INCREASE OUR SPIRITUAL PROTECTION? BY PEACE MOTHER GEETA SACRED SONG

We are all psychic beings…perfect psychic instruments that receive vibrations every moment of the day and night. We receive impressions from the seen world…such as the dear ones who are thinking about us, the people we work with, people we cross in the street, in the grocery store, people who resonate with us and those who don’t. These people are each carrying some form of psychic baggage, and when they cross your path they can project onto you their judgments, criticisms, envy or jealousy. Negative energies can easily jump from one host to another, so there are many ways they can transfer negative vibrations unto you. We are also receiving impressions from the unseen world of ghosts, spirits, demons, ancestors, and so on. If you were not brought up with the awareness of the myriad forms of energy that live alongside us, it’s very easy to slip into denial or amnesia about these things. However, to succeed in Life…we must

walk on the Beauty-full Mother Earth with FULL awareness…with IMPECCABLE Focus and Attention to our surroundings and the constant stream of activity that is affecting us. If we do not accept this challenge of heightening our objective observance, we are choosing to be easy targets. While it is true that negative forces have the cosmic assignment to attempt to disrupt our Life and destroy our mind, body and spirit, it is WE who willingly and unwittingly open the door to them through lack of Awareness, Attention and Focus. If we choose to be half-hearted in our approach to them, know this: they are NOT half-hearted in THEIR focus toward us. They are totally devoted to our downfall. They are ALL-WAYS looking for ways to infiltrate our Life by filling it with pain. They create suffering in our Life Path to ensure we do NOT enjoy our time on the Beauty-full Flowering Earth. 23 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013


Just as it is a poisonous snake’s nature to bite you if you interact with it ignorantly, it is the nature of any malevolent energy to attach itself to you and infiltrate your Life. They will attack your mind, health, relationships, home and Prosperity. It is vital you clearly understand this: they have one focus and one only--to destroy you! We have all seen the cartoons of the wicked being on one shoulder and the good Angel on the other, both trying to get the character’s attention. That is what it is truly like in our daily activities. The negative voice will try to talk us into self-destructive thoughts and actions, while the Positive voice will strive to steer us towards a Beauty-full, Peace-full existence. Therefore, it is our Sacred Duty to learn to protect ourselves and doing so will help us discern the many voices influencing in our mind that influence our actions. With the assistance of the Compassionate Celestial and Earth Forces, we can train ourselves to quickly identify negative influences and immediately take action to dissolve any danger. You will come to realize that in these modern times, most people don’t know much about protecting themselves… Hence, they don’t have a sufficient protective shield in place to guard them. The negative forces on the other hand are FULLY PREPARED…they do know everything about US! We may choose to be casual towards them, perhaps feeling unsure we actually believe in their presence. That is an unfortunate stance… while we are standing with one foot in 24 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013

one boat and another foot in a second boat, we are unbalanced and easy prey. Meanwhile, malevolent energies are NOT casual in their approach to us! They are one-pointed in finding our weak spots and beginning their assault strategy. So our doubts and laziness in doing research in the most basic of Spiritual principles, which is Protection of our spirit, places our souls in their control. BEING SENSITIVE MEANS BEING PRONE TO PSYCHIC ATTACK Being sensitive is the same as being psychic. To the degree that you are sensitive, to that degree you are a psychically open instrument. In days past, for example, psychics/mediums/ channelers/intuitives were called ‘sensitives’. Therefore, whether you realize it or not, the more sensitive you are, the more psychic you will be. Your sensitivity will naturally open doors to other worlds and give you access to other realities, whether you welcome it or not. To be psychic is to be open and this is why sensitive beings feel everything so intensely, including psychic attack. Sensitive beings are more likely to experience symptoms of being ‘possessed’ by negative energies. This means they will tend to have more phobias, fears, vulnerability and overall out-of-Balance behavior. This is because malicious energies can easily access the sensitive being and then influence them towards negativity, which then causes suffering in the sensitive one’s Life.


Anywhere you find someone steeped in a pain-full, ugly Life-Path, whether that be from any destructive behavior abuse such as: cruelty, overt weakness, obsessions, compulsions, violence, fears and so on, it reflects that the person is a good person at heart, but due to their nature being too sensitive/too open, they have been possessed by negative entities that now control the person and their Life Force.

One of my favorite movies is the Field of Dreams. I love the beautiful landscape of the vibrant, green cornfields against the blue skies. The story is intriguing as it opens up to a dream reality that perhaps would not seem possible, yet succeeds at opening up our heart. The music lifts my imagination into the clouds of possibilities that seem endless. The story reunites a son with his Father who has passed years before and yet enters as a young man. There is a part near the end of the story where the Father asks his Son, “is this Heaven?” His Son answers, “This is Iowa, is there a Heaven?” His Father replies, “oh yes, Heaven is the place that dreams come true.” The Son looks around, takes note of his life, his family, all of his blessings and joy, and replies,” than maybe this is Heaven.” “Heaven is the place that dreams come true”. Have you ever thought about our blessed Mother Earth being the place that our dreams can and do come true? Today I will suggest perhaps a new way to look at our home here on Earth and what opportunities are now available with many more to come. I desire to offer a new perspective, a way to a New Beginning. I am forever in gratitude for Gaia, our sweet mother earth, our sacred home. She truly is in every sense of the word a mother to us. She provides us with all that sustains us. Our bodies are made up of her many elements. She provides us air to breath, water to drink and many choices of delicious foods to eat.

many other species as well, trees, plants, animals, birds, fish, insects, all living sentience making up all of us living here in her many realms. She provides us with beautiful landscapes to gaze upon and drink in the wonder. There is such a variety of beautiful places where we can choose to live or visit, allowing us to enjoy endless possibilities to experience and express within. I feel so blessed to be living here on Earth at this amazing time of great change. Gaia is in process of ascension, elevating, evolving and rising up to become more. This is to be celebrated as this opens up opportunities not only for her, but for all of us to experience life in whole new expansive ways. We are experiencing these many shifts and adjustments along with Gaia, for we also are in the process of evolving, each within our own pace of choosing. The key for us to ride these waves of change in ease and grace is to be in harmony. Within harmony is greater clarity, making it easier to become aware of new ways to experience and express life, perhaps in ways we have never thought or even considered before You see, Gaia is more than just a place to reside as she offers us limitless potentials to live and express our lives, like a beautiful canvas that we can write upon creating the dreams of our hearts to live within. So how can we write upon this canvas to bring these beautiful dreams into our reality?

She is not only mother to humanity but to 27 THEEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013


Today I am going to suggest a new approach that will not only assist Gaia and all of her children, but bring us each great bliss and joy. Joy expands and elevates attracting more joy, so why not let our focus be joy! When we are in joy, envisioning a new beginning for ourselves, we are also assisting the collective of the world. How wonderful to know that your joyful dreams assist in creating the New World for all of humanity. To begin, ponder about what that means to you.. What would your ideal dream life look like? Perhaps it would mean having an abundance of money, excellent health, time and freedom to explore what it is you love to do and experience. If you wonder, how is it possible, to have a new beginning when my life seems so different than my dreams, how can I reach those delicious planes of harmony? I would like to share a simple philosophy; everything is energy, frequency and vibration and can be shifted into greater harmony, reaching greater clarity, opening up the mind to greater awareness and acceptance. We are like energy machines, with our thoughts, words and actions; we influence our realities and our experiences with our perceptions. This is even more noticeable in these new earth energies. You might have noticed that things seem to be happening in your life faster than before. There are many great ways to shift energy and perceptions, many tools for personal empowerment. I will share some simple ones you can begin to use today!

It has kept us comfortable and provided many experiences and adventures. Now the weather has shifted and it is warmer. We can set aside this coat, and put it away, like turning a page in a book to begin a new chapter. We can step into the sunshine more fully, feeling very comfortable in this lovely new energy. We can accept a new beginning in joy. Let us work with the vibration of Joy. Joy expands and elevates, attracting even more joy so why not create our dreams in joy! Sweet Gaia provides us with will all the necessary ingredients to create the dream recipes of your life. You decide what you desire, and you can create the recipes that will bring about your dreams. A Recipe for New Beginnings: 1. Spend time in joy, whatever brings you to that beautiful blissful state. It may it be meditation, walks in nature, spending time with a loved one, or gazing into the eyes of your beloved pet. I am sure you already have many ideas of what makes your heart sing. 2. Within joy, get a clear vision of your dreams, what does it look like, feel like? Utilize whatever tools you have to release energy of resistance. 3. Be in joy and dream your dream, put yourself in the dream. Joy will take your heart to many places of delight.

CRITICISM By Ellen Heller

Artwork by Maryam Morrison Many well meaning individuals feel that to demonstrate criticism is THE way, and the only way to help someone learn, develop or realize their errors. Criticism has been used to get someone to do what is asked; to obey, or to just plain feel badly enough about oneself, that they are expected or motivated to correct whatever seems to be considered ‘wrong.’ Most all of us have been criticized. Many parents and spouses do this constantly to their children or partners, all within the ‘guidelines’ of feeling this is the best way 30 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013

to handle any situation that calls for compromise. Whether the criticism comes from control, hate, caring, or even most saying it comes from “Love,” the point is that it never makes one feel good. It usually doesn’t even cause the one doing the criticizing to feel good either, let alone the one getting the criticism. Causing someone to feel bad may temporarily get ‘your way,’ but in the end, that person has not been enlightened or loved, and will continue having more unpleasant experiences showing up, as they are then feeling badly about themselves.

It may mean saying your truth clearly and concisely; it may mean leaving if they do not change their treatment of you. If you cannot do this for yourself, then ask yourself what would you tell your child to do, and then force yourself to follow that same advice.

People with Owl Totem are… •Perceptive •Intuitive •Creative Dreamers •Mysterious •Quiet •Great Listeners •Wise Counsels People who possess the power of the owl share many traits with their totem animals and feel a strong connection with the night and to the occult. Owl medicine brings the gift of wisdom and insight. It is almost impossible to keep a secret from an owl-person, as they see through even the best hidden ploys. They always grasp the whole truth and often take this gift for granted. It is because of this uncanny ability to see through the masks that most people wear, that owl people are often unpopular and feared by others. If Owl is your spirit guide it is important that you do not use your sight against others but instead to help them discover the meanings of life messages that surround them. The gift of owl medicine is wisdom and the ability to see in the shadows, this translates into great insight, for the self, and for the others. People with owl as their symbolic spirit guide find it easy to intuit deeper reasoning and meaning in relationships and events. Like the beat of the owl’s wings you must be gentle in sharing your wisdom, and subtle about its delivery. If all goes well the subject of your gaze may not even be aware that you are giving them valuable advice. 36 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ July 2013

Many owl people are overly secretive or isolate themselves from others. Imagine a person who stays inside, up late at night, pursuing knowledge and understanding. The secretive habits of the owl, its quiet flight and various calls, whistles, screeches and hoots, have made them objects of fear and superstition. As an owl person it is important to remember that there is both a night and day, and to not get lost purely in the spirit of night and mystery. Remember that the owl totem carries with it the gift of insight, and what use is this gift if it is not shared?

Owl’s Message: Owl brings with it the message of truth and awareness. When owl hoots at you or swoops into your life make sure to stop and become aware of your surroundings, seek truth in every aspect of your life and interactions. Owl in Dreams: The appearance of owl in your dream brings several different meanings. In the dreamtime this totem symbolizes wisdom, insight, magic, expanded awareness and virtue. If the owl is silently observing you, remember that this spirit is a symbol of insight.
