The Raven and the Frog
In Native American culture the Raven was called upon in ritual so that visions could be clarified. Native holy men understood that what the physical eye sees, is not necessarily the truth, and he would call upon the Raven for clarity in these matters. The Raven is also the keeper of secrets.
Due to the fascinating transitions the Frog goes through in its life, it is a symbol of metamorphosis. Furthermore, the Frog’s dual time spent on land and water represents duality of the soul.

The fox is thought by many ancient cultures to be a messenger between our world and spirit world.

They will, Felicia. Make sure you talk it out with your sponsor (I hope you have one?) - and 'outside help' is sometimes a good idea i.e. counselling when dealing with family-of-origin issues.
PM me anytime, my friend.
I can identify with the anger. Before getting into recovery, I took an anger management course - but I didn't belong. I was angry, yes, but I was angry for a reason i.e. how I had allowed myself to be victimized/objectified over the years. I was angry at myself for making certain choices. Anger is an emotion we have when we see or perceive an injustice. Anger is perfectly natural - sometimes we need to learn how to express it in a way that is respectful to ourselves and others.
Hang in there, love.Posted 06-15-2008 at 11:17 AM by Rowan

Fel, anger is tough to deal with. However, in a way, you are lucky in the sense that you are aware of your feelings, and in touch with them. A lot of people struggle with this, me included. Pent up anger can sometimes lead to numbness and depression - I'm happy to see that you're working on it.
