The Jaguar is the symbol of the untamed feminine, the moon, and water.

The Jaguar is the symbol of the heroic quest, unraveling the tale that tells us that no matter the depth of difficulty in ones life—whether self-inflicted or inflicted from outside forces—there is always the promise of light and love to lead us back. The community surrounding you is your greatest resource, in joy or pain. Sharing our collective wisdom we further the emerging feminine consciousness of people everywhere, and of the planet we are working to heal. When the Jaguar enters your life, the path has just begun. The Goddess Grove explores all aspects of the Goddess within us, the light, the dark and the transforming. It’s a space that encourages you to embody the strength, courage, and compassion of your Divine Feminine. There the Goddess thrives, and your comfort zones are safely tested and expanded as we draw from the community of women around us. The Grove is a place for secret treasures, words, acts, and dance. In the Goddess Grove, all people are welcome to revel in The Goddess' presence, and pay homage to the great mother earth spirit. The Goddess totem is the Vivacious Jaguar.

Dedicated, Authentic, & Committed

Who Are They:

This is a Totem Tribe for the Lucidity Festival dedicated to leaving no trace and accomplishing the goal of leaving Live Oak Campground better than when we arrived As we unite & share our love for Music & Art, let us also gather for the love of our Mother Earth. This camp will represent Leave No Trace, leaving the camp grounds better than when we showed up. It is important to be conscious of the trash we leave, the food we spill..all the way down to the plants we may crush as we walk/ dance around. Rumbling like thunder o'er the prairie, Great herds of abundance, sharing with man, I need your knowledge to meet life's challenges, To survive and move on with my plans. Buffalo/Bison's medicine includes manifestation, protection, earth creativity, feminine courage, abundance, knowledge, generosity, hospitality, sharing work, courage, strength, challenge, survival, giving for the greater good, formulating beneficial plans. Those with buffalo as power animal must walk a sacred path, honoring every walk of life. Buffalo will assist you in establishing a deep connection with Mother Earth and Father Sky. and will ask that you help the endangered species in the world. Pray/meditate/focus on harmony and peace among all beings. Ask the universe for help, and be thankful for the gifts brought to you. Don’t be forceful or pushy, follow the easiest path. Buffalo will bestow you with strength of character and an free independent spirit. Buffalo teaches us that true prosperity comes when we are grateful for what we have and when we live in harmony and love with every body and being contained within the universe. You will live like buffalo when you know that abundance is present and when ALL relations are honored and known as sacred, when you express gratitude for all parts, all aspects of creation. The story of the White Buffalo Woman originates from the Lakota people, she taught them that all things are inter connected and that it is not necessary to struggle to have abundance. The one thing that is necessary, however, is to be connected with Spirit. Buffalo's relationship to the Native American People of the USA highlights these lessons. Every part of this animal was used, right down to the hooves, which were used to make glue. Buffalo gave others the gift of life by sacrificing its own. Food and hides for clothing and shelter were provided. Prior to a buffalo hunt, prayers of gratitude were offered up to great spirit by the tribes. Post hunt, ceremonies were performed that honored the buffalo's spirit. Without the buffalo these tribes would not have survived the harsh winters. This is just one lesson of abundance - use whatever resources are available. On a deeper level, one must appreciate what one already has. How often do you focus on what is lacking in your life rather than counting your blessings? How much richer are our lives when we are truly thankful MEANINGFULLY for what we have? This sends out a powerful message to the universe.
