It was a typical
evening. I got home, changed my clothes, and called my mom. I proceeded to dig
a hole and planted my feet in the backyard. I was sitting comfortably in the
chair, but I realized that I had left one of my magnetic bracelets in my
bedroom. I called out to hubby to fetch me the bracelet. He was in the middle
of something, so I waited until he had done what he was doing.
While I was
waiting, I heard something on the grass coming towards me. My eyes were closed.
I thought it was a squirrel because they are always around. My higher-self
suggested that I look towards my left. It was a huge raccoon walking slowly
towards me, without a care in the world.
I called out my
hubby’s name, but I wanted to get the raccoon’s attention. It looked up at me.
I pointed my right finger towards the left, and I said, “Can you please go in
the other direction?” The raccoon turned around and walked swiftly in the other
direction. It was as if it understood every word that I had said to him/her.
I was about 6”
away from the fence, and there was no way in hell I was going to let the
raccoon pass that close to me. It had its head down and was walking right
towards me. The raccoon was about a foot and a half away from me. It was that
close; I tell you.
When hubby came
out with the bracelet, I told him the story. Moreover, I asked him if a raccoon
had ever gotten that close to him. He said, “Yes, and I hope, I never see
another one of those things.” I have never seen them that up close. When we had
moved to the house, a few years ago, one was living in a tree that was
overhanging the roof. That tree had to get cut down because it would have
damaged the roof. After we had cut the tree down, the raccoon was never seen
again. I doubt this raccoon was the same one. It was several years ago.
Of course, I had
to look up the significance of the raccoon coming around me.
Here is what I
have found:
Raccoon spirit
animals survive better in the dark. They wait until it is dark to gather food
and venture out. This is symbolic of not revealing your million dollar ideas.
Others may steal it for themselves. It is better to keep your plans a secret
until you are ready to announce it to the world. Moreover, the Raccoon totem
energy in the shroud of darkness may beg the question, "Do you get your
best ideas at nights?" If that is the case, now is the time to start
exploring your various options so that you can succeed.
