Fire Horse sparks courage, change, and transformation

Fire Horse sparks courage, change, and transformation

Fire Horse is a bit of a conundrum. On one hand, it is the untamable wild spirit. On the other, it channels that wild spirit into ferocious battle and circumstances. Just like fire itself, Fire Horse is an entire spectrum. It can burn everything down and leave nothing but scorched earth, or it can be handled with skill and care to provide light, heat, and warmth. Likewise, learn to handle your own fire. You may not need to destroy every situation. Maybe you just need to provide heat and light. The key point is that whether raging or dancing candlelight, fire is transformative. If you want change, you must channel your own inner fire. And Fire Horse will be there to carry you to that change you seek.

President Windigo is devouring our country, and our world

Kimmerer also refers to Windigo as an energy, and a beast: “The beast has been called an evil spirit that devours mankind. The very word, Windigo, according to Ojibwe scholar Basil Johnston, can be derived from roots meaning ‘fat excess’ or ‘thinking only of oneself.’ Writer Steve Pitt states that ‘a Windigo was a human whose selfishness has overpowered their self-control to the point that satisfaction is no longer possible.”

Wow. I read this and immediately thought of our current President, an utterly and completely self-centered individual whose hunger for approval, loyalty, and grotesque wealth cannot be satiated. His life is a perpetual chase for satiation, which he cannot experience. It is forever just out of his reach. In his lust for what he desires, he will destroy and kill anything and everything in his path. Those he harms and the things he destroys mean nothing to him. The only meaningful thing in his live is achieving satiation. And he will not. Ever. That is his nature. His Windigo nature.

Getting to know Fire Horse

The heart of Fire energy is courage, so Fire Horse is symbolized by the working horse. These horses have a job to do, but as compared to the Earthy heavy horses, which trudge mightily forward until the job is finished, working horses have to move quickly, doing jobs that require them to override their own instincts and trust their riders more than they fear what’s happening around them—without hesitation.

Perfume & Poo

Oh, it smelled natural all right. But not the kind of natural I was imagining. However, I couldn’t quite identify it. It was oddly familiar. Sickly sweet. Slightly cadaverous. My gag reflex went on high alert.
