With appreciation to The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck and Guidebook, written and illustrated by Kim Krans, published by HarperOne, An Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.
Hi again and welcome to another Divinatory Piano session from the home of Living Medicine. I’m John Stoddart and today I’m going to channel a piece of musical medicine inspired by a card selected from the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck and Guidebook by Kim Krans.
Oh, the hyena. The hyena is a fire animal. You might find this surprising. The Hyena, Humor, Wit, Sarcasm. The hyena personality is a jokester and crowd pleaser, but below the surface there are unfulfilled dreams to be realized. When the hyena card appears, it’s time to reflect on your reliance on sarcasm and humor to express your truth. Are you using jokes to hide old resentments in relationships or to mask things that you feel uncomfortable discussing? What would happen if you took your goals seriously?
I interpret that as a call to my own authenticity, to let those uncomfortable things that might get in the way, let then drop away and let the true self, truth of me, come through to share with the world.
I’m curious what that means to others. Sometimes a card like the hyena, an animal that we mostly don’t think of as having something to offer us in terms of wisdom. What actually is there for us to discover? Thanks for sharing this with me today. Hope you’ll come back for more.
