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 new 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) DNA: Karma. As humans, we are made up of a genetic structure known as DNA. It houses the vast majority of our personal physical, mental, and emotional traits. However, it was created by combining part of the DNA from both of your parents who received their DNA from both of their parents, and so on. This genetic pattern goes back thousands of years, essentially adding many different aspects of all your ancestors into you. As the generations continue on, so does the DNA structure. This has both positive and negative effects. You are getting some of the best dominate traits from all of your ancestors but you are also inheriting a number of their negative traits, or even karmic debt as well. Before you came into this world, you agreed to take on some of that Karmic debt to help heal not only yourself, but all those that walked before you, AND all those that will walk after you. That can seem like a monumental task, but remember that every person made some kind of agreement and walks this life to do the same. You also do not need to do this alone. Part of being human is being part of a bigger soul collective. So do not be afraid to reach out to others around you for help and guidance. Your ancestors are also ready to help you from the other side.

2) River: Movement. Whatever you are facing in life right now, stop fighting it. This does not mean to give up completely, but rather to try approaching things from a different angle. In order to solve your problem, you may need to do things you do not want to do and that push you outside of your comfort zone. Life may also be giving you a lesson in patience. Not everything in life can be accomplished with brute force. Sometimes we need to wait and observe before making a decision. Sometimes life will bring us new information and help us in unusual ways if we are open to trying new and slightly uncomfortable things. Whatever the case may be, now is a time to go with the flow instead of trying to fight against it. By fighting or resisting you are in stuck energy which can lead to clouded judgment. Keep an eye out for any clues or leads that Universe may be trying to give to you to assist you. The answer to your problem may come in an unexpected way.

3) Rain: Purification. Just as all of the unwanted waste and debris is washed away after a heavy rain fall, now is your time to purge unwanted waste and debris in your life as well. Focus on whatever is in your life that is stopping you from experiencing life to the fullest and get rid of it. In this case, it is most likely old thinking patterns or mindset. Let those prenotions go. You are much stronger then you think you are. Stop believing that you cannot do what you really want to do in life because of what you or others see as a “limitation”. Purge those thoughts, and start thinking of ways to attain your goals and dreams instead of giving up before even trying. Eating better, drinking more water, and getting out on the land will all greatly benefit you in this process. Not just from a physical aspect, but from an emotional and mental standpoint as well.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Gorilla: Take time to listen compassionately to those you love, especially your family members. Sometimes we lose touch with our family and need to strengthen the connection to those you love. They will not always be there and now is a great time to show them you care. People change and now might be a good time to reconnect with a family member you may not have always seen eye to eye with. That being said, we also get to choose who we allow into our hearts. So do not get to upset if the other person is not willing to build a genuine connection. Connect with those who matter most. This also includes those you see as family but are not blood related. A family member is someone who loves and supports you through thick and thin. This could be blood relatives, but also close family friends.

2) Shark: Trust your instincts to discern the truth of the situation. Your instinctual self is more potent and powerful then you may realize. Sometimes your instinctual signals can be faded by negative life events or childhood conditioning. Now is the time to break through those old conditionings and work on strengthening your intuition. Take the time to tune into your intuition by taking large, deep breaths and by really tuning into your gut feeling. It will take practice, but it is a very useful tool to have. Also, altering your diet may help as well. Try eating healthier foods that make your gut and over all body feel lighter instead of dense and bloated. More vegetables, fish, and poultry can help while staying away from highly processed foods, sugar and heavy amounts of red meat. What you ingest gives your body fuel and lacking the proper fuel can dampen your senses.

3) Tiger: You are being called into a position of leadership. Trust in yourself that you have all the required skills and tools to do so. Being an effective leader means being able to balance when to yield and when to strike. So pay attention to the natural flow of energy around you and tap into it. Doing so will give you a much better knowing of when to make a move and when to hold back. Your intuition plays a very large role in this. Practice using it, so when the time comes where you truly need your intuition, you can effectively use it. It is also important to not let fear and doubt control you. Doing so will fog your senses and lead you into making poor decisions. Do what you must to keep a clear and balanced mind. Do so not only for your own benefit, but for the benefit of those around you who will be looking to you for guidance and leadership.

Animal Gods and Goddesses Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) 15 Yakov Envy and Jealousy: Someone is lurking in the shadows, waiting to drain your life force. You may be in a legal battle, a bad relationship, or butting heads with someone at work. Whatever it is, they are slowly draining your life force so that you will be numb once they make their final move. There may even be someone right now in your space that is eating away at your life force, possibly without even realizing it. If you do not know or cannot see who is draining your energy, look for these traits. Are they exuding, jealousy, insults disguised as jokes at your expense, short bursts of anger, envy, or constant complaining? If so, you may need to either get away from them, or sit down and have a meaningful conversation with them about their habits. Do note that not everyone wants to change and sometimes even if you want them in your life, they may be to toxic to hold onto.

2) 24 Ibiade Mystical Time: Now is the time to be gentle and flexible. You are now more able to fly through life at greater speeds handling the twists and turns that come with it. Now is also a time to be more playful and not take things to heavily. Universe will guide you through an experience to help open up your heart. Express your love and feelings to those closest in your life right now. You may have someone enter your life who will show you to live more freely, open, and lovingly. You may start doing things you thought you could not or did not want to, only for you to find new passions and hobbies. Life may start to move in bursts, alternating between fast paced and moments of calm and clarity. It may seem frantic at first, but do not be afraid to give into the craziness of it all. If you are feeling disjointed know that like the hummingbird, you can fly in any direction to move past it.

3) 36 Rukera Opportunity: Now is the time to be aware of any opportunities and to act quickly when they reveal themselves. Some will be positive and some negative. Be agile like the rabbit to avoid the negative events that may arise while also keeping an eye out for the positive ones. Remember to stay flexible. As long as you can stay flexible and not fight positive opportunities that may arise, even if they may be challenging, you will be able to go a lot further in your endeavors. This is also a very creative time for you. Be open to the creative energies that are coming through to you. These creative energies may show themselves in odd or unusual ways. So do not be afraid to try something new and adventurous. Things will also happen more quickly, so do not be fearful of how fast they will happen for you. Instead, know that you are protected and have everything you need to succeed.

Oracle Card (Last) Friday: Reveal

1) Lion: Courage. Never assume that others around you or life in general knows exactly what you want, especially if you never clearly state it. It can be very hard to speak up at times to let those around you know what you want or need. You are going to have to put on a brave face and just ask. Be respectful and direct when stating your needs or desires. You may or may not get what you ask for, but without ever asking, how is anyone supposed to know what you want or need? Just remember to be direct and confident. Even if it is something you are embarrassed about or feel it is something you do not deserve, the worse that can happen is they say no. To your surprise, they may not only say yes, but it may lead to both further strengthening your confidence and finding even better solutions or additional help you did not even think was possible.

2) 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.

3) Coyote: Wise Fool. It is time to let go of any embarrassments you have of yourself. We are all only human and we all make mistakes. Instead of dwelling on your recent mistakes, pick yourself up and carry on. Life is too short to take everything so seriously. Crack a joke, and smile more. You gain nothing positive by holding onto self-shame. Its ok to make mistakes and be silly. You are your harshest critic and right now you are being way too hard on yourself. Forgive yourself of your past follies and do your best to start living life in a more light hearted and joyous manner. As long as you learn from your past mistakes and use them as lessons moving forward, everything will turn out ok.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Dreamtime: Creation. You are entering a very magical time right now. One where your artistic sense will be heightened. Pay attention to anything fun and creative that tickles your senses and catches your wonder. Even if you do not view yourself as a creative individual, every single person has a creative spark within them. It simply manifests differently from person to person. You also do not need to be a master to enjoy dabbling in a creative venture. If you always wanted to try drawing, then give it a shot. Maybe witting a story or a poem always interested you but you never thought you were well versed with words. It could even be as crazy as always wanting to try under water basket weaving. Whatever creative venture or hobby you have wanted to try, just try it as now is the best time to do so. Skill and mastery is not founded overnight. It takes time, effort, trial, error, and passion. Every great craftsman once started at the very bottom and you cannot truly know how good you are at a craft or skill until you truly give it your all.

2) Dawn: New Beginnings. It can often be difficult to tell the end from the beginning, the light from the dark, or even the sky from the ground. Sometimes we get caught up in the chaos and it seems like there is no end. However, there is always a definitive beginning and an end. Whatever you have been struggling with, the end is finally in sight. However, you need to make adjustments and still strive to break this cycle so that you may start a new and healthier one. At this time, things should be getting easier and more options should now be visible to you. Do what you can to break old habits, end toxic relationships, and to start fresh with the information you learned from your past endeavors. You may need to step outside of your natural comfort zone to achieve what you desire. Keep your eye on the prize and make small attainable goals to help you achieve your big, overall goal.

3) Iceberg: Submerged. Old pieces of yourself that you have not fully dealt with or healed are starting to reemerge. At the time, you may have ignored them, or tried to run from them instead of fully dealing with them. That may have worked for a while, but now those old habits, wounds, and problems are back and will not go away until you fully deal with them. This could be health issues, tension in a relationship, old thinking patterns, a negative view of yourself, bad habits or a number of other things. Whatever they may be, they are not going to go away until you face them and heal them. The longer you wait to work on these self-problems, the harder it will become, the more work you will need to do, and the more these issues will intrude in your daily life. No one is perfect and it is important to remember that everyone has flaws. It is ok to admit your weaknesses and flaws. Once you do, it can become easier to work on them and heal them.

Oracle Card Friday: Reveal

1) Zebra: Let go of your fear and know that you are safe and protected at all times. At this time you might be finding yourself stuck in fear, unable to move forward. Focus on what you are fearful of and try seeing it in a different light. What you are afraid of at this time is actually showing you something you need to heal from and it is not as bad as it may seem. To help move this fear away, call upon your guides and ancestors to bring light and clarity to what you fear the most. Ask them to remove this energy for you no longer need it. Getting additional help from close friends and family can also help at this time. Sometimes, when we bring fresh eyes into a situation, they can help come up with creative or different solutions. Do not be afraid to try some of these different solutions. What you have tried in the past has not worked, so trying something new and different is key to your success.

2) Rattlesnake: The experiences that you are currently going through are an initiation into fulfilling your purpose as a healer. You cannot be a successful healer if you have not gone through pain and struggle yourself. At this time universe is putting you through the ringer to be a more experienced healer and to be able to empathize with people more. You must heal from the heart. No more burying it. No more ignoring it. No more running from it. You need to face it, embrace it, and heal it. No tool or piece of technology will do it for you. Healing comes from an open heart. Once you begin to heal it, spirit will work with you more and more and you may feel your hands become more energized then before. It may show up as raw healing energy or in more subtle ways, like being able to shift a person’s mood with relative ease and speed. However it shows up, do not be afraid of it. Honor it and use it to help others.

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.
