Animal Guides

Two times in 12 hours a moth has used me as transportation as I carry them to safety (one outside the murderous reach of my scared gf, the other outside the stair complex for our apartments).
It seems, in general, that insects have started interacting closer with me.

Flies are my buddies when I'm outside. I'll have 3-5 of them that will land on me and just sit there. I'll have even more if I'm grilling something. It started last year while I first found the LOO. I would sit outside on my parents deck and attempt to meditate but I would be swarmed by flies. Little legs crawling over you isn't very conducive to meditating but after I calmed down and just breathed, they stopped moving around and just sat with me.

Yes, bugs have been coming closer to me as well, in fact speaking of moths, I came across a dead one yesterday in a bag of greens. Thank goodness I was making dog food with that bag, if I had just poured it as the last ingredient into my own meal I might have started crying!

When I'm outside and meditating, the bugs land on me quite a bit, often I'm assuming to drink from my sweat, so of course in true STO spirit I try to allow them for as long as I can. We get a lot of interesting larger bugs, like moths and butterflies and dragonflies, who really favor drinking off the big, thick cauliflower leaves that are right outside my window. We also get really excited when we see bees, because we've only seen maybe 8-10 this year. Maybe 4-5 monarchs. The milkweed is about to bloom so maybe more monarchs will start to arrive.

The first bee I saw actually came while I was weeding the garden after we first planted. He landed on the row I was attending to and looked up at me. I was overcome with extreme sadness. I sent him as much love as possible and he crawled into a little nook in the dirt. I really felt a bond with it and I sat with him for a while.

Triple post attack!

I'll edit this one to say that I just saw two bees dancing on the milkweed out my kitchen window as I was preparing lunch.

When asking my guides about a recent dream, I find that the humanoid guides took on roles of animals. The large iguana, and the elephants, were both parts played out to relay a message to my conscious mind.

I snapped a few images on my camera the past few days of some great wild life that has been around my yard.

Two days ago, I saw two rabbits enter the front yard. As I was watching them (we thought they might be coming to do it on our doorstep again!), we noticed that a tiny little itty baby was chasing one around, trying to nurse. It finally figured out it was chasing the wrong one around, but I snapped a few cute/blurry pix through the window to try to capture how adorable it was as they were basically on our doorstep!










Nursing:







I also have a video of the baby running around, please forgive the hushed whispers of my husband and I





The next day mama had come back to nurse, and it was even more adorable as baby was sprawled on his side kicking his legs to get better access. At the same time a flock of sparrows had taken over the backyard, so I went to get the camera again and when I returned, mama had left and baby had gone back into the safety of the brush, and the sparrows had all flown into the tree and were dancing in and out of it, and around the birdbath. Finally they landed back in the driveway again so I turned on the video to see if I could capture anything, and an unsuspected visitor decided he wanted his picture taken too!

Earlier in the year I got many synchronicity's regarding Foxes. Had a week of Fox pictures popping up on tumblr/facebook in conversations and strangest of all would be 'FOX' written in the print room on an exposure unit. There are foxes that live in my garden about 4-5 I like the symbolism of a fox regarding their ability to slip in-between worlds.

I believe my guide to be 1/2 human and animal. he's sometimes funny.

My "spirit animal" is the bat, which to be honest I'm not too happy about as having them appear in my dreams is scary as hell lawl
Got its perks though.
There was a bat that used to come sit near me while I watched the stars each night, I called him "Moksha" but I've had an abnormal amount of encounters with bats and I don't particularly like them though I think the feeling is mutual lol.
Edit to add:
"Bat's wisdom includes shamanic death and rebirth, initiation, viewing past lives, pollination of new ideas, transition, understanding grief, the use of vibrational sound, camouflage, invisibility, ability to observe unseen, secrets. "

This is Aloysius in a nutshell, pleased to meet you.
