Nurturing

May the embrace of all that is nurturing you awaken in all that you are becoming.

Cows represent all things related to a happy home: stability, nourishment, and the 'mother' archetype. A cow's size may seem overwhelming, but you cannot help but feel a sense of comfort when close by these gentle spirits. Like the love of a mother, you should seek out Cow spirit when you need a loving but tough push. Cow encourages you to do all you can to build a strong foundation for your goals.

Your situation requires you to return to the basics of nurturing and support before moving forward. Do you have the basic requirements for what you are seeking? If you are starting a business or buying a home, do you know what paperwork needs to be filled or what supplies you may need? If you are starting a new job, do you have all of the skills needed to be considered qualified?

Cow does not invite criticism and neither should you; you are simply being guided to examine whether or not you have all that you need to feel comfortable and safe. Sometimes you have to return to the beginning to understand where you're going, though be warned: if you continue to walk this path as is you may be in danger of building on a cracked foundation. Left unrepaired, you may find yourself in greater trouble further down the road.
