Medicine Cards: Whale 141 - Whale: Record KeeperWhale is very much like a swimming library. Whale carries the history of MotherEarth and is said to have been placed here by the Ancients from the Dog Star, Sirius.Biologists say that Whale is a mammal, and very possibly lived on land millionsof years ago. In tribal legend, Whale's move into the ocean happened when the Earthshifted and Lemuria, the Motherland, went below the waves.All of our petroglyphs speak of the Motherland, Mu, and the disaster that broughtthe red race to North American from the West, beyond the great waters. The symbols inthe pertoglyphs speak of the rivers and mountains crossed by our ancestors when theysought solid ground as the water receded.Whale saw the events that led to the settling of Turtle Island (North America) andhas kept the records and knowledge of the Motherland alive. It is said that Mu will riseagain when the fire comes from the sky and lands in another ocean of Mother Earth. Thenative medicine people are waiting for this event as the next sign of Earth changes.Earth's children will have to unite and honor all ways and all races in order to survive.Whale medicine people are coded in their DNA to understand that soundfrequencies can bring up records in the memories of ancient knowledge. They are usuallyclairaudient, or able to hear both very low and very high frequencies. They are usuallyalso psychically developed and fairly telepathic. Many times, however, they are notawakened to their gifts until it is time to use the stored records. Many Whale medicinepeople are able to tap into the universal mind of Great Spirit, and have no idea how orwhy they know what they know. Only later, when they receive confirmation, do theybegin to understand how they know or why the received impressions.Whale medicine teaches us to use the sounds and frequencies that balance ouremotional bodies and heal our physical forms. To recall why the shaman's drum bringshealing and peace is to align with Whale's message. The drum is the universal heartbeatand aligns all beings heart to heart.Before the advent of speech and the primordial language, hand signs were used,and many tribes were silent most of the time. The language that was understood was thesounds of Great Spirit's other creatures, the animals.If you pulled the Whale card, you are being asked to tap into these records and toallow yourself to be sung to be those who have the original language. We are the onlycreatures who do not have our own unique cry or call. Find yours. Allow your voice touse this sound to release tension or emotion. Whale signals a time of finding yourorigins, of seeing your overall destiny as coded in your DNA, and of finding the soundsthat will release those records. You may never again be the same. After all you are the
