Weasel has an incredible amount of energy and ingenuity, yet
it is a difficult power totem to have. It is not without significance that ermine or weasel
pelt is worn by royalty. Weasel eyes see beneath the surface of a situation to know the many
ramifications of an event. This too is a rare gift.
The chiefs sent Weasel to the enemy camp to smoke them for power. "What are the medicines of the
enemy?" the chiefs asked Weasel upon its return.
Weasel never failed to give an accurate account of the enemy's numbers, strengths, and weaknesses.
It was Weasel who tearfully told the Original People of the coming of the white boat people. "These
brothers have strange new medicines," said Weasel. "They will tell us that to live the way we do
is wrong.
They will confuse us with their talking bark. They have stolen thunder from Sky Father and placed it in their
weapons. They have no respect for the animal brothers and sisters, and they make their thunder speak to the
animals and kill them. They will make the thunder speak to us also. Their numbers are too many to count, and thes
white brothers will steal everything from us but our spirits. The great dark shadow of the
ravenous bird of death
has fallen over the People."
Weasel fur changes color with the season. Silent Weasel has many lessons to teach you. Weasel could confound Great Spirit,
pick Great Spirit's pockets, and then leave Great Spirit contemplating the divine navel. If this
is your personal medicine, your powers
of observation are keen. You seem to be saying, "Leave me alone and I will do the same for you."
you might even look a bit guilty at times due
to what you know from observing life.
You are a powerful ally to have in any business organization
since you can see what the competition is doing. People may make a great mistake in sizing
you up
since they do not immediately see your powers. But the first time they try to outsmart you, they will soon learn that your intelligence
is greater than their own.
Look to Weasel power to tell you the "hidden reasons" behind anything. Some people are put off
by Weasel medicine, talent and abilities, but there
are no bad medicines.
