Hystrix = Stachelschweinstachel

Ein Mittel gegen schwarzmagische Angriffe, täglich genommen, schickt es die schwarzmagischen Energien zum Sender zurück. Der Stachel ist die Nadel in der Voodoopuppe,

der herausgezogen wird und nicht mehr verletzen kann.

Wenn man weiß, wie viel Stammeszauber in Afrika zelebriert wird (Tansania). Bürger anderer afrikanischer Staaten weigern sich, nach Tansania zu reisen, weil dort jeder Zweite

Voodoo praktiziert, ist dieses Mittel für den afrikanischen Raum und Reisende dorthin wichtig.

Es schützt aber nicht dauerhaft, sondern nur, solange es genommen wird. Im Gegensatz zum Igel, der sich bei Gefahr nur zusammenrollen kann (was ihn auf unseren Straßen

nicht schützt), ist das Stachelschwein in der Lage, seine Stacheln aktiv abzuschießen, auf den Feind, der dann von einem Hagel von Pfeilen getroffen wird. Die Stacheln wachsen

dann wieder nach.

Der Schwanz ähnelt einem Kugelstern aus dem Mittelalter und wird auch so eingesetzt. Dieses Tier ist wehrhaft, greift aber nur an aus Verteidigungsgründen.

Es passt zu Menschen mit Dreadlocks (Läuse), die insgesamt ein wenig schmuddelig und abgerissen wirken.

Das Gewöhnliche Stachelschwein frisst vor allem Pflanzen (Wurzeln/Knollen/Zwiebeln/Früchte von Sträuchern/abgefallene Baumfrüchte. Kräuter und Baumrinden verschmäht

es nicht. Maiskolben erbeutet es, indem es die Stängel durchbeißt. Frisst auch Insekten, Frösche und andere Kleintiere sowie die Knochen von frischem Aas;

[Medicine Cards]

Innocence

The South of the medicine wheel is the place of childlike innocence and humility.

It is the home of playfulness, and the position of Porcupine on the medicine wheel of life. Porcupine has many special qualities and a very powerful medicine: the power of faith

and trust. The power of faith contains within it the ability to move mountains. The power of trust in life involves trusting that the Great Spirit has a divine plan. Your task is to find the pathway that is most beneficial for you and that uses your greatest talents to further that plan. Trust can open doorways to the creation space. The space thus created allows others to open their hearts to you and to share their gifts of love, joy, and companionship.

If you were to observe Porcupine, you would immediately notice its quills. These quills are only used when trust has been broken between Porcupine and another creature.

Much like Otter, Porcupine is a gentle, loving creature, and non- aggressive. When fear is not present, it is possible to feed a Porcupine by hand and never get stuck by its quills.

Through understanding the basic nature of this animal, you may come to understand your own need for trust and faith, and for becoming like a child again. In today's society, this is a needed reminder to honor the wonder of life and the appreciation of each new day as an adventure of discovery.

Porcupine sat silently, looking at a hollow log. She wondered if it was a playhouse that nature had created just for her. Porcupine envisioned all the things she could do with the log. She could climb on top and make the log roll from side to side.

She could go inside and see if there were any nice juicy worms for her dinner. She could also scratch her back on the rough outer bark if she wanted to.

Just as Porcupine was pondering what to do next, she saw Bear approaching. Bear was big and black and looking for honey. "Oh, another playmate to share my log," she thought.

"Hello, Bear," she cooed. "Do you want to play and share my log with me?" Gruff old Bear snorted, "Porcupine, don't you know that I am too old to play? You are in my way.

I am looking for honey. Go away!" "Why Bear, you are never too old to play," she replied. "If you forget what it was like to be a cub, you will always be as impatient and gruff

as you are now."

Bear began to think about what Porcupine had said. Maybe she was right. All the other creatures had run away from Bear in fright. Even the other Bears had turned up their noses when he growled at them. This little Porcupine was certainly trusting him not to eat her. She even offered to be his friend.

The old Bear looked at Porcupine and began to feel something move inside him. He started to remember the games he had played as a cub. Joy started to live in him again.

"Little Porcupine, you have reminded me that in becoming strong and seeking answers, I got caught up in trying to be an intellectual. I became afraid of what others would think

if I dropped my mask of gruffness. I was afraid they would not take me seriously anymore. You have taught me that in being a fuddy-duddy, I was causing others not to care for me. Thank you. I would love to play with this old log and you."

And so it was that Bear became childlike again and learned the innocence of Porcupine.

In choosing the Porcupine card, you have given yourself a gentle reminder not to get caught in the chaos of the adult world where fear, greed, and suffering are commonplace.

The medicine in this card is that of relief from seriousness and severity.

Open your heart to those things that gave you joy as a child. Remember the preciousness of fantasy and imagination, and the making of some game or toy from nothing but scraps.

Honor the playfulness of spirit that lets everyone win.

Contrary

In pulling the Porcupine card reversed, you are giving yourself a timely warning that you cannot win the game of life if you are too serious. In some are of your life, you may be feeling hurt or afraid of trusting again. It is possible that life has recently dealt you a hard blow. If this is so, it is time to begin again by placing faith in your ability to overcome

the lesson with joy. Are you willing to trust yourself? If so, you might begin by writing down the feelings that come out of the situation. How can you, as your adult-self, comfort the child within and teach your inner child how to have faith and trust again.

The ill-dignified Porcupine is belly-up, with its quills stuck in the ground. This is a rather defenceless position. You may be forcing yourself to be vulnerable so that you can regain your hope. Perhaps you needed to roll over to get your tummy patted. This position could therefore indicate that you are ready to accept a little love from others. In any case, if

So you are not willing to trust again, this card is forcing you to look at why. Or at why not!

Overview

Porcupine teaches the value of not taking life too seriously. Life is not intended as something to be suffered and endured, but should be appreciate and enjoyed. Porcupine shows that adults need to rediscover the joy of the child to whom life is an adventure of pleasurable discovery.

Porcupine may not be among the most attractive animals, but its child-like curiosity can be quite endearing. It is a humble animal which can teach us not only the need for humility, but also the strength of joy it can impart. Humble curiosity. Trust your process and yourself. Honor your connection to Great Mystery and have faith.
