Elemental Divination and Counsel Jon Rousseau Elemental Divination

Jon uses a form of cowrie shell divination that originates from the Dagara culture in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

This system of divining is rooted in a lineage that is thousands of years old. Jon was introduced to and taught this technology by initiated elder and shaman Malidoma Some'. Jon worked with Dr. Some' beginning in 2006 when he participated in his first 2 year Indigenous African Spiritual Technologies (IAST) training. Jon eventually received elder Malidoma's direct blessing to carry this technology

to the larger community. Elemental Divination uses shells, stones, bones, and other objects on a cloth that serve as messengers of Spirit. Jon employs the guidance of his Ancestors and specific medicine spirits to provide clear and relevant information for the seeker. The scope of this work includes nature-based ritual, energy attunement, emotional release, inner journeys, shrine building and talismanic medicine for healing and protection. Readings can offer insights into many aspects of one's life including original purpose, personal "medicine," relationships, work, health, and money. Along with an increased awareness of internal and external obstacles and confirmation of latent ideas or intuitions, divinations also provide "prescriptions" as part of an action-based approach to personal healing and fully engaging in the life you came here to live. Prescriptions serve a wide variety of purposes including personal cleansing and purification, recalibration and protection, release of old imprints, energetic balancing, increasing abundance and removing blockages to the flow in one's spiritual path. An old idea says that each of us arrives here with a specific gift. Likewise, we are also wounded in a very particular way. Wounds to the soul can block the threads of genius trying to make their way out into the world. Understanding the unique nature of both our gift and wound opens the way for our personal medicine to flow in greater proportions. If you are feeling the need to uncover and activate innate gifts to live your soul's purpose, to shift your energetic constitution in order to live more harmoniously, reconcile inner conflicts and splits, or access Ancestral support then Elemental Divination can assist you. Readings can be done in-abstensia (long distance) as well.

The Great Mother never abandons her children, Never betrays her children and will ALWAYS welcome us back in her arms of unconditional love when we remember who we are in the family of things and the web of life.

Initiatory events are those that Mark a man or a woman's life forever, that pull a person deeper into life than they would normally choose to go. Initiatory events are those that Define who a person is, or cause some power to erupt from them, or strip everything from them until all that is left is their essential self.

"To be fully alive each person must taste the bitterness of life and drink of the dregs of betrayal and loss. That's a rule on this earth where joy and despair appear on every threshold and secretly attend the opening of each door. Each of us carries a wounded ruler in our soul and each soul must drink from the cup of bitterness; yet each, surprisingly, carries a remedy within as well...Either a person becomes wise and converts life's bitterness to medicine or else becomes stuck in the dregs of betrayal and the haunts of self-pity. There is no cure for hate and bitterness except becoming wise, especially wiser about the story trying to live into the world through the longings of one's own soul."

Solstice Soul Feeding Words of Wisdom

"This Tzutujil love of speaking to other worlds was the reason behind their shrines and temples. Mayan temples were not monuments to their Gods; they were faces where the mouth was a doorway through which humans could feed and give the ritually sacrificed words and human creations of this world back to the spirit; the world that in turn fed them."

"The Tzutujil people did not concern themselves with building large wooden and stone structures dedicated to their greatness or the greatness of God... What monuments they did try to leave were a race of descendants who could continue feeding life. Culture was not measured by who had the biggest buildings but by the happiness of its people, and that came from their ability to make ornate gifts to the other world, gifts that decayed and disappeared, consumed by the spirits."

Martin Prechtel

If you wish to uncover latent gifts and medicine, better understand your current situation, clear blockages and re-script old stories then experience a divination. Your calling is calling you.

Jon has just returned from an unforgettable 9 day paddling trip down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. What a majestic creation with its overwhelmingly massive canyon walls that dwarf all other life forms. Exposed layers of rock reveal the billion plus year interplay between water, wind and earth. Deposition, erosion, building up and washing away over and over again... An in your face perspective adjustment. Thank you Grand Canyon for your medicine.
Jon is now available for readings either in person or long distance. Come hear what your ancestors have to tell you. Blessings.
