-The Coyote-
Magick:
Wisdom and Folly
Humor, Trickster, Cunning
The coyote is an adaptive, playful, and loyal creature. If a coyote has shown up in your life, ask yourself these questions:
-are you or those around you being too serious?
-have you forgotten that playtime is essential to your health?
-are you complicating what should be really simple in a part of your life?
-is someone playing tricks on you?
-are you not seeing the wisdom of your life and it’s events?
Meditation in the coyote can help you answer these questions.
They key to coyote magick is finding the balance between wisdom and folly, and understanding that they go hand in hand.

“…You are my spirit animal
You’re my totem of love
You are the child of the moon
You are the ruler of the sun…”

Turn on the sound. Do it. lol
This drawing of a tortoise is my spirit animal. I sleep with a certified copy under my pillow. The original is tucked away in a safe in Zurich. No one will ever find it.

Oh man, I thought I was the only one who needs to constantly confirm their own existence??
In a way this makes me feel less alone…. but, I’m still not ready to make any conclusions on the whole existence thing, so I certainly shouldn’t be throwing my opinion about Others around willie-nillie.
