ocelot magic -- anybody familiar?

[northernlights]

I had a dream visited by several ocelots the other night. One kept trying to approach me. I thought it was attacking me and kept driving it away. But the several times it got close, it would only lick my hands. I'm afraid I drove off a power animal. I need all the power animals I can get to help me these days, so I'm kinda peeved at my dreaming self...:(

1. Don't berate your instincts! lol

I will check my Animal Speak book and see if there's a reference for Ocelot... brb

2. nothing in the book, but here's some nuggets:

This piece came up as a comment to someone's Blog

Ocelot's Wisdom Includes~

Regeneration through solitude
Connection with physical and spiritual worlds
Ability to be in two places at once
Clear vision
Connection to the unseen

Here's a really detailed index of animals too - http://www.animalspirits.com/index1.html

looks like the above ocelot info came from here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

here's another one that looks equally sweet
http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/ocelot.htm

Comfortable in the high trees and in water,
Ocelot can show you how to adapt to whatever environment you find yourself
and how to look at your surroundings from on high.

Ocelot also shows you how to regenerate
through solitude and quiet meditation.

Because they live in both land and water,
they have a connection with both the physical and spiritual world
and the ability to be in two places at once.
Use Ocelot as your meditation guide to connect to the spirit world.

Sounds like you have found a new guide to get you through your rough spots! congratulations!


PS- I found this cool picture too! Rowr!

3. thank you so much, FL.....cool

could that be a more fitting power animal these days? Probably for many of us with one foot in the new world and the other in the old?

Beautiful kitty...just like in my dream. I need one :D

4. ya, sure thing...

I am tired of the hokey pokey between worlds myself! :rofl:

There is actually a breed of domestic cat that is bred to look like and Ocelot...called "Oce-cats"
it would be cool if you had one, for sure!
...meanwhile I hope they visit you often in dreams and whisper to you how to handle the shift in YOUR best way possible...and if you get any tidbits to share, I will surely be Listening! ;)



(PS i always wanted a Raven as a pet, not that lived in my house but at least one that was tame enough to come when i whistled and would sit on my shoulder...*sigh* someday.... :) )
