Ok...this is how this is going to work. I am going to shuffle my medicine cards and pull one every day. The one I pull pertains to ALL of us here at USMB. If they are facing up, they represent today's message from that Spirit Animal. If they are upside down, they are "contrary" and have a meaning for what that animal represents as well. It is 2/25/14 and after midnight...so this first one is for Tuesday 2/25/14.
I will type what that card's animal means...straight up, or "contrary" (upside down).
I used to do this at my shops, and wrote the info on the card and propped it on the counter. I also used to do it at a few message boards over the years and folks seemed to like the concept.
You can comment on the days "message" or just shrug it off, but I think it will be fun, and positive, and uplifting as well as a learning tool on what we all should be focusing on that particular day...which will not be in other threads...only this one so check daily! The "reading" will come from Jamie Sams & David Carson's book and cards I have before me and that I have had for over 10 years. I will also at times include other info on what today's particular card represents for each animal drawn.

TURTLE (right side up)
If you draw The Turtle Card, it augurs a time of connecting with the power of Earth and the Mother-Goddess within. This is a reminder of the ally you have in Mother Earth. It does not matter what situation you have created: ask her for assistance, and abundance will follow.
The turtle is probably best known for its longevity. The turtle is a nomad who carries his home wherever he goes. The turtle's shell serves as a protective shield from the elements and its predators. It lives on the beach, between water and land. Turtle teaches us that Life is a Beach. The turtle does not stress. Turtle moves slowly, reminding us to slow down. What is the hurry? If turtle appears you may need to start delegating your duties, or let go entirely of some things. You also may need to withdraw from others (retreat to your shell) and recoup your energies.
