Validation of Personhood

Decks used is the Archangel Animal Oracle by Diana Cooper

Hello friend. So, with this post, I decided to use one of my favorite animal oracles, and I hope you will enjoy the visual presence of these cards in the reading.

When I was younger, I used to get bullied a lot in school. there were things I’d do that were strange to people and I can admit that now that I’ve been out of it for good. But here’s the thing. the bullying and the teasing made me feel like my personhood wasn’t good enough, or that I wasn’t worthy of other people’s validation because I was “the weirdo” and “the nerd.” Why do I share this now? Because self-validation is something I struggle with to this day, and I’ve been well out of my childhood for a while now. So, with all of that in mind, let’s see some cards and find out what we need to know about this energy.

cards pulled from the Archangel Animal Oracle

Rabbit: recognize your significance

Butterfly: be ready to transform with wisdom

Wolf: be independent but work together

Shark: lead as a powerful, peaceful warrior

Camel: be forbearing and patient

Snake: live according to your Divine Essence

Bear: Use power with wisdom

Hyena: dare to be different

Ant: Co-operate for the highest good of the community

Rat: be true to yourself and the universe will reward you

What stands out about this post to me is that there is a theme of finding power in your personhood and I’m getting to this thought because of the call you’re getting to be true to yourself and the power you have. The energy you’re bringing in suggests that you are singularly unique and that is your greatest power because it allows you to act independently and according to your Divine Essence, but it also allows you to find ways of using it to work with other’s energies as well; essentially this makes you a leader in your life and allows you to find ways of working together with others to achieve goals. While you dare to be different, this daring isn’t used in a way that’s malicious to others. Rather, it allows you to see, acknowledge and praise others for being themselves as well.
