Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

Human trafficking involves the recruitment, control, or exploitation of individuals for the purpose of forced labour or sexual exploitation. It can happen in any community and often targets those who are most vulnerable.

In Canada, Indigenous women and girls, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, and people experiencing addictions, mental health concerns, or developmental disabilities face a heightened risk.

Recognizing the red flags and knowing how to respond can make a critical difference. To learn more about identifying and preventing human trafficking, visit the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking and review their resources on the signs of human trafficking.

🤍🪶 a sign of Hope & Change 🙏🏼🤍

Off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, a group of whale-watchers witnessed a moment you almost never get to see. Among the dark backs of a pod of orcas, a nearly all-white animal suddenly surfaced—swimming calmly, completely at ease, side by side with the others.

Wildlife photographer Noriyuki Hayakawa was there and managed to capture the rare sight. His photos show the white orca moving naturally among the pod members with the usual black-and-white markings—no isolation, no distance, no change in behavior. Just part of the group.

Sightings like this are extremely rare. Experts believe the unusual coloring is likely caused by a genetic condition such as leucism or albinism. Both affect pigmentation, without necessarily changing the animal’s behavior or its social bonds.

And that’s what makes the scene so striking. Despite how different it looks, this orca clearly belongs. A quiet reminder of how diverse—and how harmonious—nature can be, and how little “being different” matters when belonging is stronger than appearance.

Good Morning Friends,
There is no Sacred Sunday Tarot today.
Taking a little break because sometimes you just need to talk to Crows so you can understand life again! I hope you do too!
I'll be back in March!

*These are a mating pair that I have befriended and feed every morning! I love watching their antics and learning their language.
'White Wing' has some leucism happening on her left wing which can happen often in urban crows who's diet can be questionable at times. Which is another reason I like to feed them so I know they at least get one good meal! They love eggs, tuna and shelled peanuts.

HDR photograph of 'Ring of fire' solar eclipse peak captured over Antarctica yesterday.
The detail on the lunar surface here is spectacular, but the real star is the corona. Usually invisible to the naked eye, these plumes are actually plasma heated to millions of degrees—far hotter than the surface of the Sun itself. Nature’s greatest paradox, caught in a single frame.

SACRED SUNDAY ORACLE: February 15, 2026
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Run toward what sets your soul ablaze".
🐎 🔥
We are on the precipice of the New Moon in Aquarius | Solar Eclipse | Lunar New Year that all coincide on February 17th, 2026.
Ushering in themes of Rebellion, Revelation, and Reorientation.
This New Moon aligns with a powerful Solar Eclipse and the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse. It is not a quiet reset. It is a portal.
🌑 ⭕️ 🌕 ♒️ 🔥 🐎
Eclipses do not ask you to manifest harder. They ask you to release, observe, and realign. Let outdated beliefs fall away. Let new perspectives expand you.
Let change unfold without forcing it.

The Fire Horse brings courage and momentum, but wisdom asks you to move with intention, not impulse.
This may be the true beginning of your year. Release what cannot follow you forward.
Let the rest ignite naturally.

The Ring of Fire demands conscious participation. It asks us not only to recognize the light we carry, but to confront the shadows that obstruct its full expression.
Are you ready?
🔥 🌑☀️
"The Spirit Animal Oracle is a Canadian made deck which features a host of beautiful animal and nature guides and their medicine. It is a tool to connect you to something bigger and more primal than your thinking mind; that something bigger and more primal? It is often your very own intuition; your own animal instinct.
These Guides, This Medicine, This land.
Both southern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia; where this deck was created, it is important to acknowledge and pay tribute to the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Nations, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, and the Métis Nation (Region 3) of southern Alberta, as well as the Ktunaxa Nation of southeastern British Columbia; the first people of this land."

To receive a reading, simply comment below with the number of the card that resonates with you.

❤️ On this day of love, I offer this prayer from my heart to yours:

Creator of All That Is,
Great Spirit who breathes life into every mountain, river, seed, & soul ...

Teach us to remember that we are made of love.

Where there is hardness in our hearts, soften us.
Where there is grief, sit with us.
Where there is anger, show us the wound beneath it.

Bless our ancestors who loved before us.
Bless our children who will learn how to love by watching us.
Bless the partnerships, the friendships, the families, & even the strangers who cross our path, for each one carries a lesson in compassion.

Love is patience, humility, & the willingness to see the divine spark in another being.

May we speak gently, listen deeply, & honor Mother Earth as the first great love who holds us without condition.

May our lives become living prayers, our hearts become medicine, & our love ripple seven generations forward.🙏🏼

From my heart to yours,
Grandmother Flordemayo ❤️

Miigwech Kokom Flordemayo!

Today is Friday the 13th ... ✨

In the beliefs of the Maya, we do not carry fear of the number 13. We carry reverence. In Mayan time, 13 is a sacred teaching ... A doorway into higher wisdom, completion, & spiritual authority. 13 is the vibration of creation!

The Tzolk’in (Mayan calendar) is woven from 20 Nawales (day signs) & 13 sacred tones ... The 13 movements of life as it rises, ripens, transforms, & returns to Spirit. These tones are not superstition. They are the pulses of creation.

When we reach Oxlajuj (13), we reach a summit:
🌎 A place where the learning of the cycle becomes medicine.
🌎 A place where we can see further, because we have walked the whole path.

Thirteen reminds us that life is not only what the eyes can see. There are many worlds moving at once: the seen & the unseen, the human & the ancestral, the Earth & the stars.

The energy of 13 lives in:
💫 The 13 tones of the calendar
💫 The 13 Heavens
💫 A trecena (13 day cycle), a living journey
💫 The 13 energy centers
💫 Completion & renewal

Our people understand cycles. We do not fear endings because we know endings are also beginnings.

Let 13 remind you:
💧 To ask for guidance from your ancestors
💧 To listen more closely to the messages of your dreams
💧 To finish what you started with integrity
💧 To offer gratitude for the lessons that shaped you
💧 To step into the next cycle with humility & courage

With love,
Grandmother Flordemayo ❤️
