Jake "The Bear" Wondra

Jake "The Bear" Wondra I find people's spirit animals as well as sell custom necklaces, pendulums, and art. All of which I have been doing in some capacity, for most of my life.

Hello, my name is Jake Wondra or Jake “The Bear” Wondra and I work with spirit animals. I help people connect with their spirit animals as well as a few other things like dream interpretation, energy work, intuitive readings. I also make custom art usually in the form of posters, prints, necklaces, and pendulums. As the years have gone by, I have honed my gifts and my craft, constantly learning ne

w things and adding more to both my spiritual tool belt, as well as my artistic tool belt. I have had the gift of seeing spirit animals since I was a child. I went through a rough patch in my early teen years where I basically shut down my gifts until my late teens / early twenties. Once I got back into my groove, my gifts came racing back, even stronger than before. I started simple by finding people’s “spirit animal”. I started my journey in this art by following the Native American beliefs on spirit animals, or more accurately, power animals. I then started branching off and following the teachings of the old Norse beliefs on spirit animals, specifically what they call “Fylgja”. It is more or less the equivalent of the Native American’s “Power Animal”. I was led down this path by my ancestors and guides because I do not have any Native American heritage and I always felt a little uncomfortable teaching about something outside of my heritage. However, I do have ancestral ties to both Scandinavia and the old Norse cultures. Through meditation, and conversing with my guides, ancestors and beings from other worlds, I learned more up-to-date teachings on spirit animals and how they fit into our lives, through the focal point of my Nordic heritage and using their beliefs as a foundation that I have expanded upon. I also have a degree in graphic design and have been using my artistic skills and my intuitive gifts to make meaningful and custom art. Just like my intuitive abilities, I have been making art since I was a kid. It wasn’t until later that I swapped mediums and started making digital art using my computer and mouse instead of pen and paper. This led to a collaboration with Laurie Wondra, my mother and mentor who has been a psychic medium, in the public eye for over fifteen years now. We made an oracle deck of cards where I channeled and made the art work using gods, goddesses, and animals and then she wrote up the actual meanings that go in the guide book that comes with the deck, channeled from her guides. Once the deck was published, I was then persuaded to offer a service where I could continue to combine my art with my intuitive gifts alongside of the spirit animal and dream interpretation services.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Swan: Grace. You are currently letting life and its many wonders pass you by. While you walk your path with your head focused on the road under your feet, you are missing all that is happening around you. Life may feel out of balance, and the world may feel like its burning at times, but remember that everything is always in balance on a larger scale. Sometimes It needs to be dark for a while so we can appreciate the light even more. We may not understand why, but this is a fundamental and key part of the human experience. So Stop trying to perceive things and people as innately good or evil. Everything is subject to change given the right conditions and circumstances and there is always a light side to the darkness. Something that may help get you back in balance is getting out doors more so you can become in tune with the actual balance of Mother Nature, instead of what you perceive it to be.

2) Salmon: Determination. Right now you may be going through some very rough and struggling times. It is important to keep your head high and keep fighting up the river until you get to calmer waters. You need to be focused, determined, and strong minded right now. You may want to break down, cry and even give up. While it is ok to cry and everyone breaks from time to time, the important thing is not to give up. Take one day at a time and do not be so hard on yourself. You can do this, you can get through this. Even if you do not know where you are going, you need to keep moving. It does not need to be big movement or even strategic movement. It can be as small as going for a short walk, doing some simple exercises for ten minutes a day, doing a cross word puzzle, or listening to a productive podcast. As long as you keep your body and mind moving during this time. Being stagnate right now is only going to hurt you in the long run. Do your best to keep faith and you will get to where you need to be.

3) Squirrel: Preparation. There is something big and new coming into your life. It may be a new job opportunity, a new relationship, moving to a new house, or something else. Whatever it may be, take this time to prepare for it. You do not want to be rushing around filled with stress and worry at the last minute. It best to take some deep breaths and start preparing now rather than later. There will still be difficulties that arise, but being prepared can greatly reduce the stress and worry when those difficulties do arise. A big part of being ready for this new change is to ready your mind. Your thoughts, attitude, beliefs, and habits can help or hinder you depending on how well you are prepared. If things get to be a bit too much to handle, try seeking support from close friends and family as well. A strong support system can go a long way.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Crystals: Focus. Now is the time to focus. Remove all distractions from your life that are getting in the way of completing whatever task or project you are trying to complete. You do not need to permanently remove all distractions, but rather only temporarily to help you focus. It may also help to do breathing exercises to help you get grounded. Trying to complete a task can be difficult when we are very floaty. It is also important to not force anything thing at this time. By trying to force an outcome it can heavily skew our energy, resulting in us making mistakes that could have easily been prevented. Focus is important right now, but not to the level of stress inducing. If you need to take breaks, then do so. Make them positive and beneficial breaks, like walking in nature or listening to your favorite music. Things like scrolling through the internet or watching too much TV will only dull the mind at this time, removing your focus instead of helping it.

2) Meadow: Vulnerability. There will always be those who judge us. However, we cannot live in fear of what others may think about us or we will miss out on so much in life. Now is an opportune time for you to show the world who you are or who you want to be. It may be scary to open yourself up to the world in fear of judgment, but everyone deserves to be happy and to express who they truly are. So be more bold, take some risks, and really start to discover who the real “you” is despite what others may think. Take this time to really explore who you are and who you want to be without trying to please everyone else around you. As long as you live life from the heart and do not hurt anyone or anything in the process, then you should be able to be who you want to be. No matter what you do in life, you cannot make everyone happy. Someone will always find something about you that they do not like. So instead of trying to make everyone else happy, do the things that make YOU happy.

3) Ocean: Ebb and Flow. Part of being human is to explore and really feel all range of emotions. Even though a lot of emotions are unpleasant, we need to feel all of them and embrace all of them throughout our life in one way or another. However, that does not mean we need to be swallowed whole by those emotions, especially the negative ones. Instead of fighting any thoughts or feeling you have, embrace them and learn from them. Let them coarse through you and not hold back. Then, let them go and do not cling to them, especially the negative and hurtful ones. Whatever has been going on in your life recently, you have been shutting down and blocking certain emotions. It can be very difficult and painful to experience certain emotions and feelings, but shutting them off completely only makes things more difficult in the long run. Do what you need to do in order to embrace those emotions and feelings in a safe manner as not to cause harm to yourself or anyone else. Let your mind and body fully process everything you are feeling so that you can work through them safely, let them go and find inner peace.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Octopus: Practice shapeshifting by altering your physical appearance and mannerisms. Whether you realize it or not, the people you surround yourself with, the activities you participate in, the media you ingest, and all the little nuances around you shape who you are at that moment. Everyone has multiple personas, and now is the time to actively start shaping a few of your own to better fit into certain situations. Try dressing a little differently, wearing your hair differently, and pay attention to how you act around certain people or groups. Whatever is going on in your life right now, it is better to blend in rather than stand out. However, this does not mean to give up or lose your core essence. You are simply playing the role of an actor right now, and need to do so for a little longer. After which, you can let your true personality shine through fully.

2) Falcon: Act on the opportunity that is before you, and commit to it without any doubt. Now is the perfect time to start that big project you have been wanting to do. You may feel like you are not equipped to handle it or that now is not the best time. However, it is important to get out of your own head and just go for it fully or you will be forever procrastinating on it. Dive in fully but be willing to make adjustments when problems arise. While working on this project, you will soon discover that all the doubt and roadblocks were all in your mind and that you are fully capable of seeing this endeavor through to the end. Stay focused and fully committed. Do not over analyze or over think anything as it will hinder your progress. If you can, really try to push yourself and see what you are capable of. If needed, take breaks but really try to limit how often you break and how frequent. If you can get over the first couple hurdles and keep going, you will surprise yourself on how resilient and adaptive you really are. This is a time for action.

3) Goose: Take time to rest and recuperate rather than continuing your striving. Now is the time to rest and go internal to help solve your problems rather than exerting excess energy. It may be difficult in this fast paced world to take some time to yourself but if you can, you will see that is exactly what you need. It is critical for both your physical and mental well-being that you take a break and come back to center. Put down the phone, take a break from all the emails and just take some "you" time. Try rewarding yourself or treating yourself with things that both de-stress you and fill your proverbial cup. Things like taking a long hot bath, taking an uninterrupted nap, making your favorite healthy meal, or doing something fun with your closest friends. Whatever you decide to do, make sure it’s relaxing, enjoyable, and is not stressful. You can also take this time to reflect back on your accomplishments and take a breather. You have worked hard and even if it does not seem like it, you have accomplished a lot. There is always more to accomplish, but not when your energy is depleted.

Animal Gods and Goddesses Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) 31 Lothoi Get Moving: Slug is the epitome of laziness. In this situation, it may be caused by mood altering substances such as food, alcohol, sugar, to***co, or something else through ingestion. The sluggish feeling may also come from stress or lack of sleep. The body may be driven into overload at this time. Someone or something may also be latching on to you and draining your energy. Whatever the reason behind this sluggishness, something has to change or you will continue to spiral down. It will most likely not be an easy or fast solution. It will most likely require a new routine, new practices, and even a new line of thought process. However, if you can fully commit to shaking off this lazy slump by taking the necessary steps and putting in the work, you will come out on the other side of this slump stronger than before. You may even find a new rejuvenation in life and discover a new level of energy that you never knew you had.

2) 17 Ekayavan Wisdom of the Universe: It is time to wake up and see what you are missing. There is something in your life right now, be it a person, event, or place that you are not fully grasping and understanding. There are deeper layers to what you are facing. You need to dig deeper and uncover what you are not grasping. There also may be someone who is about to come into your life or might already be present in your life that will unlock pieces of your DNA, elevating you to a higher state of being. You are about to experience great spiritual expansion. Just keep your mind open as not to miss any opportunities for growth. Singing, humming, chanting, or writing may also accelerate this process right now.

3) 32 Oriana Creation and Fertility: Get ready to birth something new whether it’s an idea, project, or something else entirely. Something magical is on its way to you. So be open and ready to receive something big. It might be an item or something less tangible, either way it is very important and special. Things are going to begin to move in a positive direction for you. You may get a new job, start a new relationship, or something else that you have long been dreaming of. However, whatever magic is to come, will come when things are aligned. So be patient and do not force anything. Big things can also come in small packages. If something seems small and not really relevant, give it time and space to develop into something bigger. You never know where and when Universe will push you. So be willing to shift things around in your life if needed.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Moose: Authority. Sometimes we have a lot of different influences trying to sway us into making a decision. It is down to you and you alone to make the final decision. We might sometimes also feel like we do not have a choice, but there is always a choice whether you see it or not. Now is the time to make that tough decision. use your intuition, call upon your guides, meditate, whatever you need to do to make sure you are making the right choice. It may be useful to take in other's opinions as well, but at the end of the day, this is still your choice, so be confident that you are making the right one. Take in all of the information and weigh the choices at hand. However, it is also important to not get stuck and bogged down with too much information. Know that as long as you follow your intuition and messages from your guides, you cannot go wrong.

2) Wolf: Guardian. Trust that you are protected at all times right now. You do not need to shield yourself from the past wounds that have been inflicted on you any longer. Trust that what you go through and experience in this life, at this moment in time, is exactly what you need. Know that you have the support needed to see you through it, even if it does not feel that way. By relaxing these barriers that you have put up to protect yourself from past wounds, you are opening your heart and mind up to expansion. This can also bring others into your life in the form of new friends, a business partner, or even a significant other. Sometimes it is beneficial to keep your guard up and to keep people at bay, but this is not that time. By trusting that you are protected and that you are capable making of good judgment, you will start to find others who share similar interests to you. You will be able to find love, joy and peace easier with these barriers down. Be courageous. Try something new and see where life takes you. You might be surprised at what you were missing that was right in front of you.

3) Koala: Empathy. You have done a lot of talking recently and not enough listening. Now is your turn to listen and really take in what others have to saying. Communication is more than just words. It’s an exchange of energy. Really focus on not just what others have to say but how they are saying it using body language, facial expressions and even feeling the shifts in their energy. Now is also the time to start focusing on others more instead of yourself. Start showing interest in those closest to you by asking how they are doing/feeling and really listen to what they have to say. It is also important to remember to pick up on people's body language, tones, gestures, and expressions as words do not always tell the full story. Even if they do not mean to do so, people often hide their true feelings by deflecting the conversation. By reading a person’s body language and the shifts in their energy, you can start to build a more coherent picture of what is really going on. Just be careful not to over step any boundaries in the process.
