During my bath 2 nights ago I relaxed with eyes closed and I saw the under side of a shark as it swam over top of me … here’s a little something I found about it …
The shark spirit animal exudes power, superiority, and authority in its natural environment.
This indicates the need for you to fight for what you want. Do not back down, and be steely in your resolve to show everyone who is in charge.
Just like your shark totem, you have a ruthlessness in you. Fortunately, you also have the patience and self-restraint.
Trust in your instincts and learn to interpret them accurately.
Pay attention. Do not ignore your instincts when you hear warning bells or see the warning signs.
The shark meaning is about observation, perception, and understanding.
You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.
Boudicca’s very name means “bringer of victory.” She did what no other could do in her time: she was a queen, a warrior, a leader, and a mother. She was real. She was Boudicca.
When the Romans invaded Britain, things changed greatly for the native tribes. Some were wiped out, some were subjugated, and some became Roman allies. None were united. When Boudicca’s husband, king of the Iceni, died, he left his kingdom to his wife, daughters, and the Roman emperor, but the Romans did not honor his will. As the Romans did not recognize inheritance of land through the maternal line, they annexed the kingdom, just as if it were conquered territory, and the king’s women had no leadership rights. Boudicca, a tall, strong, red headed warrior queen, protested this.
The Romans came to Boudicca’s village to pass their judgement and violently attacked Boudicca and her daughters. They took all the food in the village and prohibited other Romans to trade with them. Additionally, the Romans slaughtered druids (who screamed curses upon them as the Romans landed upon the beach), burned down their sacred groves, and poisoned their holy wells. All these acts triggered a revolution within Boudicca; she decided that she would not only war with Rome but also attempt to unite the tribes of the Britons.
Joining with a neighboring tribe, Boudicca led an army that decimated a major Roman stronghold, the Romans certainly underestimating her ferocity and strategic prowess. Battle after battle, she eventually reached Londinium, which she joyfully burned to the ground. Archaeologists have discovered a charred layer of ash almost half a meter thick under modern London, courtesy of Boudicca.
Boudicca was eventually defeated, though it is not known exactly where and when she died. She was given a royal burial, and her army was disbanded, though not before damaging the Roman army and achieving what the Britons had sought all along – respect.
Her legend lives on. Boudicca has become a siren symbol of unity and of revolution. Her energy has been channeled by everyone from Queen Victoria (who had a statue made in her honor that sits on Westminster Pier in London) to numerous painters and writers of books, movies, and television series. When you feel downtrodden, are a victim of injustice, or think that you cannot possibly win, call upon the Queen of the Iceni to assist you! Her energy is one for when you feel you are unjustly being ignored and are not receiving the respectful treatment from others that you deserve.
When you feel it is time to stand up for just or respectful treatment and you want to call others to you for a positive purpose, or even just feel the unity of your own purpose and various energies, you can call on Boudicca.
You will need three small stones for this.
Go outside. Take a big, deep breath. Hold the stones in your hand.
Stand with your legs slightly apart, knees relaxed, in a stable, balanced pose. Raise one arm in a salute of victory. Say strongly,
Daughter of the Hare,
Queen of the Inceni,
Boudicca, hear my call!
I call you to join with me. I have a battle to win.
I know you will show me my strength and my will.
(Tell Boudicca your Issue)
Unite with me, great Boudicca.
Allow me to ride on your chariot
As I move forward
In trust and power.
Place the three stones in the earth in honor of Boudicca’s daughters.

A slum in Kenya where thousands were poisoned by a smelting factory has been awarded £9.5 million in compensation after a tireless “David and Goliath” campaign by a former worker.
The power of ONE… working to empower others…
This is how it’s done. God Bless Phyllis Omido !
Phyllis Omido faced death threats and arrest in her decade-long battle for justice, which began after doctors found concentrations of lead in her baby’s blood, ingested via her breastmilk, that were 35 times higher than the WHO’s level of concern.

A slum in Kenya where thousands were poisoned by a smelting factory has been awarded £9.5 million in compensation after a tireless “David and Goliath” campaign by a former worker.
Phyllis Omido faced death threats and arrest in her decade-long battle for justice, which began after doctors found concentrations of lead in her baby’s blood, ingested via her breastmilk, that were 35 times higher than the WHO’s level of concern.
In a ruling seen as a huge boost to grassroots activism in Africa, a court in Mombasa gave the state and the now-closed factory’s owners 90 days to compensate victims at Owino Uhuru, on the outskirts of Mombasa, and clean up their soil and water.
It’s time to think big. You are a star in your own right. There are unlimited possibilities. It is fine not to know every detail before proceeding. Mystery is a natural part of life.
Nuit’s energy is as wide as the sky, as big as the universe, and as bright as a star. Within the Egyptian pantheon, Nuit played the role of sky goddess. the celestial heavens were her body, and below her, in a mirror image, lay her brother, the earth god, Geb.
The infinite sky and the sparkling stars above are the expressions of the nature of Nuit. The ideas of wonder, unlimited possibility, infinity, and the eternity of life are all mysteries of Nuit. Ancient Egyptians believed that when one died, the body rested in her energy and, thus, they often painted her image on the lids of sarcophagi. Death is, in fact, a part of rebirth for the Egyptians, and Nuit was also a mother – she gave birth to Isis, Osiris, Set, and Horus. The sun god, Ra, was born from her star-strewn body every morning and then swallowed again at sunset.
Nuit invites us to share the infinite and expand accordingly. Her flowing energy suggests to us that there is nothing we can’t do and encourages us to embrace big possibilities. While many of us are fearful to expand and to take risks in that growth, Nuit encourages traveling forward with a strong intention anyway. When you are feeling small, when you are stuck in the tiny details, when you feel that there is no place in the world for you, Nuit is the perfect goddess to help you from relief. Nuit encourages us to think big and to set positive intentions for our growth.
Nuit also offers comfort to those who feel that they need to have all the answers all the time, which can be exhausting on so many levels. None of us is perfect. None of us knows everything, and it is unfair to put that type of pressure on ourselves. Not knowing actually leads to growth too. Nuit champions the idea that there are some things that should stay unexplained due to the beauty of the mystery.

It is very clear to most of us that we are a part of something humongous happening on planet Earth. The Ascension impacts everyone and has personal implications that hold different meanings that are very intimate to each person.
Connecting with your Soul, Connecting with God Source is very personal. As a part of the human race we all know what it means to suffer horribly in pain and feel completely alone in the darkness. As we endure this Ascension Cycle, remember, it is about Kindness Above All. Honor where you are at, take the time you need, allow yourself the space to heal and find the kindness for yourself.
As you strengthen your core and can expand your sphere of influence, then practice random acts of kindness towards others. One second of criticism, sarcasm, belittling, or hateful words can mar and scar a child and a person for life. One second of kindness can elevate a child or person to accomplish greatness that allows them to find their soul.
Look at the illusion of ownership. Do you believe you truly “own” anything in this world? For example, do any of us really own land … do we own ideas? Or is it that we have simply laid claim to something we believe we’re entitled to? Even inspiration is borrowed from Spirit and shared by all in the Field of Divine Consciousness that permeates everything. Others have thought of even your most ingenious ideas somewhere else in time … and so what?
Life incarnate is short. When you transition, you take nothing with you from the material world. Release your hold on your relationships, your belongings, your home, and all aspects of your life. Let life flow as it will.
Everything is impermanent. Once you recognize that, everything is seen as the living miracle that it really is, and you won’t be frozen into self-induced limitations. It’s time to let go of ownership in general and be grateful for and enjoy what you’ve been gifted with.
You have the power to go the distance, forging ahead whatever the weather. You will most certainly reach your perfect destination. Some person or circumstance brought through synchronicity will certainly appear to help you with your endeavors. You aren’t meant to go this part of the journey alone.
This is also an important time to delegate authority to others so that they may assist you. Currently you’re magnetic to powerful people who are in a position to help make your dreams come true. Remain open to those who are sent to aid you. You can be assured that you will be lifted up and will ride high in victory.
You may have compromised yourself out of fear. Have you been in denial about the truth of your situation? Have you sold yourself short rather than ask for what you really need? Have you given up your dream for another because you fear abandonment?
You are gently reminded that you count. Claim your good and never settle for less. Be fearless and make it so! Why hang around for more disappointment when wonderful adventures and opportunities are waiting to unfold for you?
When you bless the world, it blesses you back. When you say affirming, supportive words, they carry an energy that returns to you in physical form. Remember that each one has power and will resonate into the Universe, seeking its reflection in manifest form.
Your body responds to praise, as does everything in the world around you. Praise it for its inherent health and beauty. Applaud yourself for everything you do, as even the tiniest accomplishments are important. Praise your bills: give thanks for the services you enjoy, and watch the ability to pay them increase as you align with Spirit’s increasing power.
This is also a time to remember the powerful practice of affirmations. Write them down and speak them aloud as a spiritual exercise. Say it is so – and it will be.
Question: Why does man have an instinctive aversion to the idea of the annihilation of the soul?
Answer: Because there is no such thing as nothingness.
Question: Where does our instinctive sentiment of a future life come from?
Answer: We have already told you: before incarnating, the spirit is aware of all these things, and, once incarnate, the soul retains a vague memory of that knowledge and of what was seen during the interval in between incarnations.
Question: At the moment of death, what is the prevailing feeling in most people: doubt, fear, or hope?
Answer: Doubt in the case of hardhearted skeptics; fear, in the case of the guilty; and hope, in the case of the virtuous.
Question: Why are there skeptics at all, as the soul gives man the intuition of spiritual matters?
Answer: There are fewer skeptics than you suppose. During life, many pretend to be bold freethinkers out of pride, but at the moment of death, they are much less arrogant.
The consequences of the future life derive from the responsibility for our acts. With regard to the distribution of the joys to which all aspire, reason and justice tell us that the good and the wicked cannot possibly be ranked together. God cannot have wished for some to be awarded enjoyments without effort, whereas others only through struggle and perseverance.
The idea that God applies His justice and mercy through the wisdom of His laws does not allow us to believe that the righteous and the wicked are at the same level in His eyes. Nor can we doubt that some day the former shall receive a reward, and the latter a punishment, for the good or evil they have done. That is why our innate sense of justice gives us the intuition of future rewards and punishments.
Question: Is God personally concerned with each individual? Isn’t God too great and aren’t we too small for each individual in particular to have any importance in His eyes?
Answer: God is concerned with all the beings He created, no matter how small they may be. Nothing is too small for the goodness of God.
