Panther + Shaman
The shaman’s knowledge of the worlds, seen and unseen, knew no limit. They embodied the pillar of connection to Earth, the ether, and the spirits of the realms. Before the colonization of the Americas, indigenous natives to Florida chartered the swampy terrain of the vast and expansive everglades with their protective companions, like the native black panther. They transmuted the gridlines from the poison of past conquests and wars. Their deep relationship to the land, the fire, the air and the water holds them in the highest power of tribe and community. The spiritual gifts of the black panther include astral travel, guardianship, anchor of the feminine energy, innerstanding of death and rebirth, reclamation of one’s power, ability to know the darkness, aggressiveness, power and protection without solar influence; reclamation of sovereignty. The Panther has long been an ancient and powerful animal totem for Spirit. Black panthers are smaller but more fierce than lions and tigers. They make for brilliant swimmers and the most agile climbers; leaving them to be a purveyor of any realm. With an ability to sprint with exponential speed, they hold the teachings of quick decisive action. The Panther holds the secrets of worlds that are unseen, and are related to the energies of the moon and the etheric realm.
