Animal Dreaming, founded by Scott Alexander King, takes a shamanic approach to looking at the natural world, the animals and the Earth Mother herself.
According to Scott, the Earth is our Mother. We are her children. Like any mother, she wants us to grow, heal and unite as a people. She speaks to us every day. She speaks to us in a symbolic tongue. A tongue we have long forgotten and no longer understand. That language is older than words and is presented to us in the form of animals.
The animals each have a message to impart. We need to look once again to the ways of the animals and integrate their wisdom into our lives. The animals do not make mistakes. Spirit does not make mistakes. If we heed the medicine ways of the animals, we, too, will forget how to make mistakes.
The ancients knew this ancient language. And we are being urged to remember it. When we look to the Medicine Ways of Nature, we see the Earth and all the creatures that live upon it, as messengers imbued with particular characteristics that offer insight into our own true natures.
When we open ourselves to the guidance of Animal Teachers, we receive confirmation of our innate strengths and the medicine we need to heal life’s sorrows. When we experience interdependence with all life, we find our own honoured place in Creation.

Animal Encounter: Call Duck
🦆
The inspiration behind those little yellow bathtub ducks everyone had as kids, the very vocal Call Duck is so named for its use by duck hunters to act as live decoys; to call wild ducks down by giving them a false sense of security.

Animal Encounter: Wolverine
🤣
Ok, so it's not really Wolverine or @thehughjackman, but it's close! My daughter decided to recreate her favourite movie character using photoshop and her (then) little brother as her model. I think she did quite well considering! I wonder what the real Wolverine would think? A worthy apprentice?

The Bustard strides confidently with his head held high, his face pointed toward the heavens. He advises that we do the same during times of self doubt, overwhelm and confusion because, even during the darkest of nights, he knows - without a doubt - that the sun will soon rise, banishing that darkness forever. In short, hold strong the confidence that this too shall pass.

Animal Encounter: Camel
🐪
Meet Ruby Tuesday, our much loved Camel that (with the help and support of the Animal Dreaming Community) we rescued from a meat works near Tamworth, NSW. She was such a proud and intelligent soul who broke our hearts the day she crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years back after succumbing to kidney failure. Missed ... but not forgotten. Xxx

Animal Encounter: Bush Turkey
🖤💛❤
For as long as I can remember, whenever I see a Bush Turkey scratching about, its striking colouration respectfully delivers to my mind thoughts of the officially proclaimed flag of our Aboriginal brothers and sisters. While I am not an Aboriginal man myself, the Bush Turkey offers me some insight into what it means to belong to something older than time itself. As such, for me, the Bush Turkey has become a symbol of, among other things, unity, the People, belonging, rich and diverse culture, country, timelessness, ancient wisdom, knowledge, lore, magic, ancestral connection to the land, deep respect and, of course, family. I wish more Australians would heed the lessons offered by this beautiful bird.

Did you know Mountain Lion is also referred to as the Cougar, the Puma, the Catamount and more simply, 'the Cat of the Mountain'. Cool huh?
💚
MOUNTAIN LION says, ‘I am responsible'.

Animal Encounter: Javan Green Peacock
🦚
One story is that the reason the peacock screams at 3am is in response to humanity's fear of being forsaken by God. I love a good story.

Animal Encounter: Flamingo
🦩🦩
As a filter feeder, in my world, the Flamingo assists greatly with my mediumship work, by helping me receive, process, absorb, understand and act upon information given me by Spirit. And being pink of plumage, I know that information is passed on with love, integrity and pure innocence.

Horse encourages us to explore, travel and try new things knowing that the knowledge gained from these experiences give us the power to teach, share and empower others.
🐴
Today’s message is brought to us by #Aurora of #NorthFork, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Gypsy Cob Horse featured in my World Animal Dreaming Oracle Cards.
🐴
Swipe 👈 to ‘meet’ Aurora and her foal.

I briefly met Aurora in person, during my first visit to @RiverLaneRanch in Alberta, Canada. She’s stunning as much as she is powerful, as is her filly, Aurora’s Faith (who has grown up since these photos were taken)
