Spirit of the West

The Spirit of the West is connected to the element of water and initiates you to the energy of sensitivity, nurturing, feeling, rest, and self-care. It comes to you during times of stress, overwhelm, burnout, an d a deep need to repair and rejuvenate.

Darkness and solitude are too often associated with the unknown and loneliness, but there is also a protective quality to these energies. In the depths of the soul, there is no expectation to do anything other than be and receive what is available to you.

You have pulled this card because you need to slow down and nourish your spirit. You must regather your strength and have compassion for yourself and all that you do. You deserve the right to seek solitude and time for yourself. You are owed this time to slip into the realm of your spirit for inner guidance and support. The rest of the world can wait until you have enough fuel to be its warrior again.

Honor the Spirit of the West

Go to the water: a river, lake, ocean, pond, or even a shower/bath. Place your hands into the water and scoop some up, holding it in your cupped palms. Face West and whisper into the water: I am present for your guidance, dear Spirit of the West. Take a moment to meditate on the message brought to you by the Spirit of the West. Thank the West Spirit for her presence and for her divine guidance.
