medicine circle: introducing badger

As a part of an ongoing exploration of her natural medicine, Katherine introduces her spirit allies. Each episode of this limited podcast series is a deep dive into their quantum, multidimensional medicine. Katherine begins this series with one of her main animal allies, Badger. Badger’s medicine is centered around communication, storytelling, and truth. Badger also represents Katherine’s divine masculine side.

the faultline: nontraditional storytelling to redefine reality

the starborn: soul gifts of communication and storytelling; shadows: dogmatic, argumentative

the starborn/the orphan/the eternal child: digging beneath the surface of situations, circumstances, and people; intended meaning within a story v.s. getting lost in details amongst the surface

the king: light expression = leadership, independence, self-reliant, bold; shadow expression = dogmatic, aggressive/sharp/wordy with words, unapologetic in a forceful way; self-discovery (archetypes) and leadership, the more you know about yourself the more you know about Others

the animal: grounding; connecting to your body, nature, and nature spirits; caring for stories as if they were a living life; connection through stories to all forms of nature

the comic: the gift of humor within storytelling; humor disarms people

the desert: honoring needing time alone

the vessel: Jaguar medicine; balancing dualistic gifts; for harmonious balance offer stories with tenderness, softness, and sensitivity

the healer: keeper and teller of stories to remind people of who they are

the shapeshifter: lean into stories to build common ground with Others; connecting through empathic (understanding the emotions underneath) storytelling
