"I open my heart and soul to the truth. And ask that my life’s journey be illuminated before me, I ask for the wisdom to see. Even in the darkness of life’s challenges. And the ability to manifest my true path." - Spirit Guide, the Owl

"The Owl is the bringer of wisdom, a messenger that can bring clarity and illumination.  The all-seeing owl possesses supernatural qualities and is often associated with intuition, clairvoyance and clairaudience. 

A magical creature of the forest enigmatic and powerful.  The Owl’s energy is at its peak in the very heart of darkness. When we are plunged into blindness and disorientation. The owl penetrates the darkness of the blackest night. Seeing and hearing that which others cannot.

If the owl is calling you, or you are aware of the owl being present in your life, dreaming or waking.
You are being called upon to open your eyes, ears and mind to the truth of a situation. 
Listen to the wisdom deep in your heart and soul, tap into your own intuition, and be aware of your dreams."

The Sphinx

"A sphinx is a mythical creature with, as a minimum, the body of a lion and the head of a human.  In Greek tradition, it has the haunches of a lion, the wings of a great bird, and the face of a woman. She is mythicized as treacherous and merciless. Those who cannot answer her riddle suffer a fate typical in such mythological stories, as they are killed and eaten by this ravenous monster. Unlike the Greek sphinx which was a woman, the Egyptian sphinx is typically shown as a man (anandrosphinx). In addition, the Egyptian sphinx was viewed as benevolent in contrast to the malevolent Greek version and was thought of as a guardian often flanking the entrances to temples." -Wikipedia

Libyan Gold Tektite

"Libyan Gold Tektite is a glassy yellow material and is found in the Sahara desert in Libya and Egypt.  It is also known by the name Libyan Desert Glass.  Scientists are unsure of the origins of this material, and some doubt that it can be classified as a Tektite, although it is found in the same areas which meteorites have been discovered.  In ancient Egypt, the funerary necklace of King Tutankhamen had its centerpiece a large carved scarab made from Libyan Gold Tektite.  As with all such ceremonial pieces, this necklace was believed to be imbued with supernatural powers, which it conveyed to the wearer, even after death.

Libyan Tektites carry remarkable energies for enhancing the strength of one's will, one's ability to create, and one's power of manifestation.  They carry extraordinary energies, perhaps due to the tremendous forces involved in their formation in meteor crash explosions.  It is not surprising that Libyan Gold Tektite was used as the centerpiece in the necklace of an ancient Egyptian king-these stones emanate the kind of mystic power associated with the god-kings of old, and they can facilitate the awakening of the inner King or Queen in oneself as well." -Robert Simmons


"Libyan Gold Tektite is a powerful Fire element stone with Storm element overtones.  It activates all chakras, bringing the Golden Ray of illumination into the energy field." - Naisha Ahsian

Scarabs:


"The Scarabeus sacer, a species of scarab beetle that is found in North Africa, Europe and some parts of Asia, has been used in some cultures as a symbol of resurrection, transformation and protection. This is especially true in Egypt, where symbols were much more than simple drawings, they were reminders of men's true nature – the spiritual life.
The scarab appeared in amulets and in the tombs to help the deceased ones in their journey through the afterlife, symbolizing the transformation that they were about to experience – when one dies in the physical world, it means the one is born in the spiritual realm.

The Symbolism of the Dung Beetle
The Egyptian tradition taught that everything that happens in nature is a microcosm of universal truths, like imprints of the divine reflected in the physical world; therefore, they used the natural phenomena to understand spiritual phenomena.
Egyptians observed how newborn scarabs emerge from the dung, and how the adult beetles spend most of their lives rolling the feces in order to feed their offspring, until mysteriously, the scarab becomes aware of a pair of wings which had always been there, and they courageously fly away to explore life outside the dung.
The brief life of the scarab, then, reveals a beautiful message – just like the scarab beetle lives among the feces until it discovers its hidden wings. The human soul is also trapped in the physical world (symbolized by the dung ball) until it discovers its ability to fly.
Death, for the Egyptians, symbolized this moment in which the scarab finally abandons the dung ball to be born in another reality.
The Sacred Scarab in Ancient Egypt God Khepri
The scarab beetle was also associated to god Khepri, who was regarded as an aspect of the sun god Ra. Sun gods embody the role of the sun in a solar system; like the sun, which makes all the flowers in the planet blossom, sun gods make all wisdom emerge among humans in periods of intellectual darkness (they are considered humans who have reached the human ideal through many incarnations).
Khepri's head was sometimes depicted as a dung beetle because Egyptians saw an analogy between the scarab rolling the dung and the sun god rolling the sun, making it shine on Earth. However, there is an occult message in this story that cannot be understood by everyone.
The sun spends half the day in the underworld, and half the day shining. This movement symbolizes death (night) and rebirth (every new day), but it is interesting to note that the sun never really stops shining, since when it is night in one side of the planet, it is day in the other side.
As Egyptians believed the soul continued to live after death, only in another realm of existence, the sun's new rise represented the soul's rebirth in the physical plane after a period in the spiritual world (symbolized by the night, when the sun shine in the other side).
So the scarab was placed in the tomb of the deceased in order to guide them in the afterlife, reminding them that physical death reveals their true identity – the part of consciousness that stores all knowledge and continues to be the same even when it incarnates in different bodies.
Egyptian Amulets and Talismans
It is clear that the symbolism of the scarab refers to transformation – the transformation of the soul from physical to non-physical, from ignorant of its nature to wise. Egyptian represented the concept of immortality and resurrection (resurrection of the soul, not the flesh) through the image of the scarab beetle, and therefore, they created seals, amulets and talismans, which served as tools to inform those who carried them about these concepts.
It is important to point out that the real "power" of the talismans and amulets was never the object itself, but rather, the knowledge it contained. A person who is imbued with the spirit of immortality and transformation does not fear death. Since fear is one of things that prevent people from achieving their ideals, those who do not fear are the ones who make history, so it is the knowledge that protects, the amulets and talismans are mere instruments through which the knowledge is revealed." - Ward, John.

Dream Walkers;

Lizards are ancient creatures and have been found on various artifacts from the Native American cultures.  They are often found to represent strength in many Native American ceremonies, stories and songs.  Lizards have strong psychic abilities, and when the lizard spirit guide appears, it is a sign that it is time for one to look within themselves and question where they are in nature and life.  
 
Lizards show how to cope and overcome obstacles, how to let go of old outdated perceptions and make room for the new.  When lizards appear it is a time to pay attention to dreams and visions for they show how to shift and molt perspectives.  It is a symbol of regeneration.

Whirling Dervish

"Sufi whirling is a form of Sama or physically active meditation which originated among Sufis, and which is still practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. It is a customary dance performed within the Sema, or worship ceremony, through which dervishes (also called semazens) aim to reach the source of all perfection, or kemal. This is sought through abandoning one's nafs, egos or personal desires, by listening to the music, focusing on God, and spinning one's body in repetitive circles, which has been seen as a symbolic imitation of planets in the Solar System orbiting the sun."- Wikipedia
