Activating the Cards

Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge that some of us just can’t be bothered going too deeply into things (nor do they need to) or sometimes things just seem too complicated. If you are feeling this way about me talking about Activating the cards, then listen to that within yourself and ignore everything I say. They are now your tools to use, so use them however you want. Each card stands beautifully and powerfully within it’s own Energy.

However, to experience the Healing benefits the Medicine Wheel offers through its organic flow, I have set out how the process evolved as it came to me.
First starting with the first card Acceptance, then working at your own pace through to card 12 to activate the codes within. 

We all process differently. Some slowly and cautiously, others dive in with no reservations.  

I’ve made a couple of suggestions to first activate the Medicine Wheel, however, always follow your intuition and listen to what feels good and easy. Let your ‘within’ be your guide. 

1. You could choose to do a card a day. Beginning of course with the first card Acceptance. Continue on in the circles sequence.

2. You could begin on a New Moon with your first card. Then every New Moon you could sit with the next card in the Circle and watch as the Moon Phases integrate into the process over the following moon cycle, which is a month. Those familiar with working with the Moon Phases will understand already how powerful this can be and those who are unfamiliar with working with Moon Phases, maybe this is something new to be explored. 

3.You could do the first card, then just allow your own natural process to evolve organically by moving on to the next card as you feel prompted. This is how it was and is for me. 

4. You could do the full Circle in one spread. Laying them in the circle and leaving them out while working through them in one sitting or over a weekend or couple of days. 

I would say that to use the full spread is an advanced tool. Simply because with more use you have more understanding of your own process within each symbol.

However, that is not to set any limitations on any individual, activation/manifestation energy available or the Pathway itself. 

Once you have walked fully around the Circle and activated all the Symbols though, this process can be a lot of fun to fully explore a situation in one sitting using the Circle. This way can be used for problem solving and group workshops. Use the 21 card spread as a guideline and improvise where you feel guided.

5.This option is for those that want to dive in with no reservations. Read the whole content of the guidebook in one sitting. The guidebook provided with the cards contains the Codes that each symbol requires for activation.
Take the Moment of Visualization to imagine you are with the Grandmothers in the Circle and then sit with each symbol in sequence for a moment, absorbing the words as the codes activate within you. 

 The sequence is shown in the diagrams below, in the booklet and on the cloth. We always start with Acceptance and move in a clockwise circle.

I cannot emphasize enough how much more fun, healing and expanding it will be to really use your imagination to see, feel and be with these beloved beings. They will appear to each and everyone differently, in a form that will resonate.
The energy of the Grandmothers already know your true authentic Soul.
They will reflect the beauty of your Soul so you can remember.
