The Coyote

The Coyote

Here's one interpretation.

Coyote's lessons may seem perplexing, but they are holy and always for your ultimate good. The coyote is a sacred trickster, facilitating opportunities for learning and growth by disrupting plans. Expecting to receive all that you desire, Coyote may instead provide the opposite.

When this card appears, here are a few actions you might consider.

Listen to Coyote's call as diversions and disappointments become litmus tests for faith. Even with clear goals given to the Great Spirit, feeling lost may occur. This can happen when you believe you’ve been led away from the path of cherished hopes and desires. Remember, a coyote is a sacred trickster who may lead you into difficulties. Because of these challenges, you will experience significant development and growth. This prepares you to handle the consequences of your actions.

If this card appears upside down or reversed, and you choose to include its position as part of your reading, here's what it could mean.

Are you falling for what you superficially believe you desire? Did ambition's glittering and ephemeral aspects lure you into a certain path? Do you think compromising yourself, controlling, or manipulating others is necessary to achieve your goals?

To warn you that this could be a learning experience that could negatively impact your life, a coyote howls in the night.

Right now, beware of superficial perceptions. Surface qualities don't equate to depth, no matter how alluring or lovely they may appear. No matter how much you wish, nothing superficial that glitters will turn to gold.
