Medicine of Mythical Creatures

The medicine of mythical creatures is a body of information intended to be used much like Medicine Cards, the Tarot, or Runes. It is a collection of information, mostly intuited through meditation, relating to creatures which science would say do not exist. But in our minds, throughout history, they have appeared. I consider myself a medium through which these creatures can have voice, therefore their medicine is written in their words.

There is no beginning and no end. The Spiral goes on forever around us. No element is more or less important than another, all must balanced with none weighing more than another.

Each creature will have one element as its main focus, just like some people lean toward the characteristics of one element over the others. It is ideal that we each have a balance between all four elements, but it will never be a static balance - life is balance in motion. We keep stepping from one foot to the other as we walk through life and in all aspects of our life we bring the elements together, frequently focusing on one over the others, but always striving to have balance between them in every endeavor so, like in our walking, we don't fall down. Instead we travel forwards, forever spiraling up the horn of the unicorn, taking greater enlightenment and balance at each turn.

Air
The seat of knowledge.
Fire
The seat of the soul.
Water
Where emotions play.
Earth
The things of matter,
the building blocks of life.
