Jake "The Bear" Wondra

I find people's spirit animals as well as sell custom necklaces, pendulums, and art. All of which I have been doing in some capacity, for most of my life.

Hello, my name is Jake Wondra or Jake “The Bear” Wondra and I work with spirit animals. I help people connect with their spirit animals as well as a few other things like dream interpretation, energy work, intuitive readings. I also make custom art usually in the form of posters, prints, necklaces, and pendulums. As the years have gone by, I have honed my gifts and my craft, constantly learning new things and adding more to both my spiritual tool belt, as well as my artistic tool belt. I have had the gift of seeing spirit animals since I was a child. I went through a rough patch in my early teen years where I basically shut down my gifts until my late teens / early twenties. Once I got back into my groove, my gifts came racing back, even stronger than before. I started simple by finding people’s “spirit animal”. I started my journey in this art by following the Native American beliefs on spirit animals, or more accurately, power animals. I then started branching off and following the teachings of the old Norse beliefs on spirit animals, specifically what they call “Fylgja”. It is more or less the equivalent of the Native American’s “Power Animal”. I was led down this path by my ancestors and guides because I do not have any Native American heritage and I always felt a little uncomfortable teaching about something outside of my heritage. However, I do have ancestral ties to both Scandinavia and the old Norse cultures. Through meditation, and conversing with my guides, ancestors and beings from other worlds, I learned more up-to-date teachings on spirit animals and how they fit into our lives, through the focal point of my Nordic heritage and using their beliefs as a foundation that I have expanded upon. I also have a degree in graphic design and have been using my artistic skills and my intuitive gifts to make meaningful and custom art. Just like my intuitive abilities, I have been making art since I was a kid. It wasn’t until later that I swapped mediums and started making digital art using my computer and mouse instead of pen and paper. This led to a collaboration with Laurie Wondra, my mother and mentor who has been a psychic medium, in the public eye for over fifteen years now. We made an oracle deck of cards where I channeled and made the art work using gods, goddesses, and animals and then she wrote up the actual meanings that go in the guide book that comes with the deck, channeled from her guides. Once the deck was published, I was then persuaded to offer a service where I could continue to combine my art with my intuitive gifts alongside of the spirit animal and dream interpretation services.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Dawn: New Beginnings. It can often be difficult to tell the end from the beginning, the light from the dark, or even the sky from the ground. Sometimes we get caught up in the chaos and it seems like there is no end. However, there is always a definitive beginning and an end. Whatever you have been struggling with, the end is finally in sight. However, you need to make adjustments and still strive to break this cycle so that you may start a new and healthier one. At this time, things should be getting easier and more options should now be visible to you. Do what you can to break old habits, end toxic relationships, and to start fresh with the information you learned from your past endeavors. You may need to step outside of your natural comfort zone to achieve what you desire. Keep your eye on the prize and make small attainable goals to help you achieve your big, overall goal.

2) Eagle: Communion. This is a reminder that we are all one and we are all connected. Not just person to person, but to all matter in existence, living or not. Take some time to meditate in a quite spot and feel the life around you. Things like plants, animals, insects, even the Earth itself have messages for us. Take some time to listen to these messages. You may have been recently caught up in only thinking about yourself and not realizing the impact of your actions, words or even thoughts on everyone and everything around you. We all make mistakes and can be selfish from time to time even if we do not realize it. By taking the time to meditate and to listen more than speak, your heart and mind will start to open up. You may even start to see things in a new perspective that can help you or others around you.

3) Lake: Stillness. We live in a fast pace world filled with different technology and people that are all biding for our attention. It can often be difficult to put these things aside and to simply be in the moment. However, that is exactly what you need right now, quiet time that is away from all the craziness of modern life. If you can take some time to really decompress away from your phone, computer, coworkers, family and friends, take a few moments to come back to center while in the stillness of nature, you will feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Ready to take on whatever life has to throw at you. Find a place in nature that really speaks to you, like a garden, a forest, a river or a lake. It does not need to be dead quiet, but it should at least be some place that is not loud with traffic, swells of people, or heavy machinery doing construction work. If you cannot get to a quiet place in nature, then make a quiet place within your home. Make a corner, or room into a comfy haven that you can escape to and relax in. If you have noisy roommates or family members, calmly explain to them that you need some quiet time to decompress and relax. If you can manage to do this, you will start to feel more connected to Mother Earth rather than being a slave to technology.

1) Kiwi: Do a walking meditation each day for the next week. Get outside if possible. Enjoy mother nature and all that she has to offer. Meditation is often viewed as sitting quietly and going into a trans. Sometimes, you just need move your body to get the brain moving as well. It does not need to be a long walk. A simple ten minute walk, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life is all that is needed. Allow yourself to get lost in the walk. Clear your mind of distractions, take in your surroundings. What do you smell? What do you hear? What do you see? Take the time to be present in the moment and to enjoy the scenery. By doing so, you will help reestablish your connection to Mother Earth and all that is around you. You may have been feeling floaty, lost, or not fully present in your body recently. By doing a simple walk in nature, you will reground yourself and feel a lot more focused and energized. Do not be discouraged as it may take multiple walks to start feeling the positive effects.

2) Cheetah: Get clear on your intention, stay focused, and move to achieve your goal. Stop talking yourself out of taking active steps to obtain your goal. Now is not the time to second guess yourself or make excuses that hinder your progression. Set your eyes on the prize, and go for it. This is a time where universe has aligned many assets to help you achieve your goal, even if it does not seem like it. You may not fully achieve your goal right away, but you will be placing the foundations to reap the full benefits in the near future. It might seem like a daunting task if your goal is a very large one. In that case, break it down into smaller goals and set reasonable time frames to accomplish them by. It’s to easy to make excuses and to continue to put it off. Clear you mind and all distractions and go for it full on. As long as you start making actual progress towards your goal, your momentum, motivation, and determination to see it through will increase.

3) Tiger: You are being called into a position of leadership. Trust in yourself that you have all the required skills and tools to do so. Being an effective leader means being able to balance when to yield and when to strike. So pay attention to the natural flow of energy around you and tap into it. Doing so will give you a much better knowing of when to make a move and when to hold back. Your intuition plays a very large role in this. Practice using it, so when the time comes where you truly need your intuition, you can effectively use it. It is also important to not let fear and doubt control you. Doing so will fog your senses and lead you into making poor decisions. Do what you must to keep a clear and balanced mind. Do so not only for your own benefit, but for the benefit of those around you who will be looking to you for guidance and leadership.

1) 5 Jareldo Joy and Happiness: Your life has gotten stagnant and dull. However, someone currently in your life or someone who will soon enter your life is going to shake things up for the better. The new change might seem scary at first, but trust that you are protected. It is important to give new experiences a try as this person will bring with them a fresh look at life as well as some much needed joy. However, during this time, it is important to avoid loud noises and any chaotic situations. You need to refine your overall focus in life through the lenses of fun and excitement, but chaotic and tense situations are not going to help. By taking some time to have fun and even be silly, you will start to feel rejuvenated in other areas of your life like work, home life, and social gatherings. Try stepping outside of your comfort zone in safe yet fun ways. You can still experience excitement, just not the point of being over stimulated that the fun turns into stress. Trying new things with new people can be scary, but you will never know what you are truly missing in life if you do not give things a solid try.

2) 15 Yakov Envy and Jealousy: Someone is lurking in the shadows, waiting to drain your life force. You may be in a legal battle, a bad relationship, or butting heads with someone at work. Whatever it is, they are slowly draining your life force so that you will be numb once they make their final move. There may even be someone right now in your space that is eating away at your life force, possibly without even realizing it. If you do not know or cannot see who is draining your energy, look for these traits. Are they exuding, jealousy, insults disguised as jokes at your expense, short bursts of anger, envy, or constant complaining? If so, you may need to either get away from them, or sit down and have a meaningful conversation with them about their habits. Do note that not everyone wants to change and sometimes even if you want them in your life, they may be to toxic to hold onto.

3) 26 Kele Alignment of Mind, Body, Spirit: You are coming to an end of a hardship in your life. It is now time to release any negative or unwanted energy you no longer need. Remember, you are a survivor. Now is the time for productivity in your life. The past is in the past, now step into your future and get busy with your soul's purpose. You may also be getting ready to walk the path of love. However, one must first love themselves before they can love another. You are moving into a more joyous and fruitful period of your life, so take advantage of what life has to offer!

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Frog: Purification. Your environment, either external or internal is in need of cleaning. When your space is cluttered or dirty, the flow of energy slows down tremendously. This does not just include your environmental space like home or office, but also your body as well. Try eating healthier, drinking more fluids, staying away from processed and sugary foods and drinks. As for cleaning your external environment, it might feel like a monument of a task, so start with one area at a time, like one room or closet. Focus your efforts in one area until it is cleaned, then move to the next area. Plugging away at it for thirty minutes to an hour every day can also help break up the overwhelming feel as well.

2) Butterfly: Transformation. Not all transformations need to be painful or even massive. When you listen, and pay attention to the changing world around you, self transformations can come easier and more graceful. Instead of fighting this change that is happening in your life, try embracing it or at the very least going with the flow instead of exhausting yourself trying to fight an uphill battle that does not need to be fought. Things do not always go the way you want them too, but they do go the way you need them too. The more you fight whatever changes you are going through right now, the harder time you will have. Trust the process, stop clinging onto the old you, and accept the change even if it feels uncomfortable right now. Everything will turn out ok.

3) Raccoon: Resourcefulness. Despite what you may believe, you currently have all that you need in front of you. Stop worrying about every little thing. The universe provides. You need to calm down and trust that what you truly need you either already have, or it will come when needed. You may need to dig a little to find what you need, but trust that it will come. At this time, you also need to be level headed. Whatever problem you face, use your intuition and your gut. Stay level headed, and drown out any fear or anxiety you may have, as it is not serving you any good at this time.

1) Crystals: Focus. Now is the time to focus. Remove all distractions from your life that are getting in the way of completing whatever task or project you are trying to complete. You do not need to permanently remove all distractions, but rather only temporarily to help you focus. It may also help to do breathing exercises to help you get grounded. Trying to complete a task can be difficult when we are very floaty. It is also important to not force anything thing at this time. By trying to force an outcome it can heavily skew our energy, resulting in us making mistakes that could have easily been prevented. Focus is important right now, but not to the level of stress inducing. If you need to take breaks, then do so. Make them positive and beneficial breaks, like walking in nature or listening to your favorite music. Things like scrolling through the internet or watching too much TV will only dull the mind at this time, removing your focus instead of helping it.

2) DNA: Karma. As humans, we are made up of a genetic structure known as DNA. It houses the vast majority of our personal physical, mental, and emotional traits. However, it was created by combining part of the DNA from both of your parents who received their DNA from both of their parents, and so on. This genetic pattern goes back thousands of years, essentially adding many different aspects of all your ancestors into you. As the generations continue on, so does the DNA structure. This has both positive and negative effects. You are getting some of the best dominate traits from all of your ancestors but you are also inheriting a number of their negative traits, or even karmic debt as well. Before you came into this world, you agreed to take on some of that Karmic debt to help heal not only yourself, but all those that walked before you, AND all those that will walk after you. That can seem like a monumental task, but remember that every person made some kind of agreement and walks this life to do the same. You also do not need to do this alone. Part of being human is being part of a bigger soul collective. So do not be afraid to reach out to others around you for help and guidance. Your ancestors are also ready to help you from the other side.

3) Rainbow: Blessings. Recent times have probably been very rough and difficult for you. However, you are now entering a more stable and peaceful part of the cycle. As you enter this more positive part of your life, it is important to count your blessings. Taking a look back at where you were and what you went through to get to this point in your life is important. Things may or may not be exactly how you want them to be in your life right now, but it is important to remember that life is a journey and you have had your share of obstacles that you have overcome. We do not always understand why we must go through certain hardships or challenges, but part of being human is learning from those challenges. To use them to become stronger and better individuals is a key part of our life and experience here on Earth. So as you keep moving forward in life, remember to take a look back and appreciate all that you have overcome. Do not compare your accomplishments to others as everyone has their own paths and obstacles they face. Focus on your achievements, no matter how big or small.

1) Roadrunner: Keep your sense of humor and do not take things to seriously. With everything that goes on around us in the world, it is easy to get lost in a negative mindset. Now is the time to pull back and try to find the joy and humor in life. No matter what the situation is, try to find the humor in it. Take a step back and try to find the absurdity in the situation. Laughter is a key element at this time as it is a powerful and uplifting natural medicine for depression, anger and sadness. It is not always easy to find the humor in a situation and some situations should not hold humor in them at all. However, if you can learn to brush off the smaller disruptions in life and laugh them off, the bigger and tougher situations will not deplete your energy or mood nearly as long or as intensively as before. Just know that these situations are temporary and that negativity attracts more negativity. To break the cycle, try thinking more positive, as positivity attracts more positivity.

2) Dog: Your loyalty and faithfulness is misplaced by serving to many masters. At this point in your life you are probably trying to please a lot of people and forgetting about your needs. It is a good thing to put others first, but not to the point of exhausting yourself and losing yourself worth. Take a step back and try saying “no” more when people ask for favors. You may also be putting yourself in a "less than" kind of state of mind in some organization whether it’s a religion, company, or charity. It is ok to view these people and things as teachers, but not masters. If you let people command you long enough, they will begin to take more and more from you, whether they realize it or not. No one has power over you unless you give them your power. You are your own person, your own individual with your own thoughts, ideas, needs, and journey in life. Venture out, do things for yourself and make mistakes. Only then can you truly grow as a person.

3) Unicorn: Indulge your creative, imaginative, and magical side through some form of artistic expression. Whatever form of creative project you feel most comfortable doing, do it. Now is a great time to express yourself through some creative project, so indulge. Do not force it, but rather let it be of joy, fun and expression of yourself. This may lead you to a new business venture, or it may not. Do not do it just for the sake of making money, but rather to feed your soul. The overall goal of starting a creative project is to add more fun into your life. You may need to push yourself to get going but do not continue it if it not fun. If you are finding it hard to pick a muse or subject to create art about, try doodling or scribbling. Sometimes we need to step out of the way and just let or creative inner self take over. Even if we do not understand the final result, there can still be enjoyment, whimsy and wonder in the process of making the piece. Sometimes, that is far more important than making something coherent or even a finished product.
