Janice Hensley's Animal Guides

Lion

Love of justice
institute fairness

Totally valuing that in man, which is provided by the gods, the lion fairly and justly eases back to man any and all that she has lost along the way. The lion presides over the search for man's values.

Striving for man's acceptance of her own inner values, the lion trusts man to know what their relationship is based upon.

Stressing man's wish for quiet use of reality, the lion presses strongly against man and senses each time man resists her own state of awareness. Gently the lion replaces the ranges within man that man have willfully removed. Patiently, the lion refits man with all love and care available to her.

Using her great strength, gently the lion rubs into man her own regard and value of self. Just as she constantly cleans herself, she rubs and cleans off man's value system, preparing the way for that which should always be there for man to access.

Placing man before her like a cub of her own, the lion makes no distinction between her duty as one who raises man and her duty to any of her own.

Gratefully, she welcomes man to all her nurturings, patiently replenishing man as needed. Only after trusting in man's acceptance of her value does the lion allow man to return to her way of seeking herself.

Janice Hensley's Animal Guides

Grasshopper

Love of growth

Change/metamorphose self

Gathering all from man's growing sources-while man rests, the grasshopper provides things that will change man for the better, by sticking them onto man. All these things develop an outer and inner well of change.


from The Wonders Of Animal Guides, 1988 by Janice Hensley

Bass

Love of water
have safe territories

Wasting no time, the bass strengthens man's environment by barely moving.
