✦ SOUL ANIMALS - THE SWAN ✦

The next character of the series is The Swan, a symbol of love and beauty. Instead of focusing on external appearance, a person with a connection to a swan usually sees the goodness in others and appreciates their inner beauty.

Sensitive, intuitive and emotional, your innate balance, grace, and imagination could enable you to excel at poetry, music or another art form.  In Greek mythology, these stately birds are associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, as well as the sun god Apollo, to whom the Swan is a sacred animal. In Celtic tradition, spirits can take the form of a swan, and must walk in pairs to travel between life and the otherworld.

To some Eastern European cultures, a swan represents uniqueness, especially the Black Swan, conveying the meaning of “a once in a lifetime event”. The word “Swan” is derived from an Indo-European word for “sing”. Therefore, if you encounter one, it reminds you to let your inner beauty shine brightly by carrying your own song.

Hope you like the concept of the Swan. Are you willing to sing what is in your soul?

✦ SPIRIT ANIMALS - THE BUTTERFLY ✦

The next character of the series is the Butterfly, which represents personal growth and greater awareness of your mental, physical and spiritual rhythms. Many people believe that a butterfly whispers of your hidden potentials, which can blossom magically like the transformation from caterpillar to winged wonder.

These insects also symbolize rebirth, hope and bravery. In Celtic and Ancient Greek mythology, the butterfly is considered a figure of the soul waiting to pass to other realms. In Chinese symbology, they can represent immortality. When butterflies appear and connect to you as a soul guide, you may be going through or expect important changes in your life.

They have vivid colors and therefore they are also associated with aliveness and brightness. They can be very powerful when called upon for support in times of transition, and they will add ease and lightness to the process.

I hope you like the idea of the Butterfly! Have a good weekend.

✦ SOUL ANIMALS - THE KOI FISH ✦ Do you know that seeing a Koi fish, whether in waking life or a dream, means good luck is coming your way? In Japan, these fish are highly revered for their beauty and their connotations of life. They stand for the tenacity that no barrier can thwart. They are also associated with peace, healing and open channels. A Koi fish is believed to bring you the most of opportunities and to allow you to see possibilities that other people overlook, as well as to heal from your hurts. Their movement is gentle and graceful; therefore, it is not surprising that they  symbolize calm and serenity.

In some cultures, the Koi represents perseverance and adaptability. It means you should prepare to take losses sometimes and learn to deal with rejections, but that you will grow and never let the setbacks prevent you from achieving your goals.

What else do you know about Koi fish as your soul animals? Hope everyone has a lovely week! . . .

✦ New Series 2023: SPIRIT ANIMALS - THE PEACOCK ✦

For a long time, the Peacock has been honored for its beauty and symbolism. In different cultures, peacocks were highly valued as a luck-bringing sign of bounty. They are also symbolic of re-growth, royalty, and integrity. In Hinduism and Buddhism, they are associated with deities and worshipped as sacred spirits alongside them.

Back in the days of Adam and Eve, the peacock was the sole animal refusing to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree when Adam and Eve convinced all other beasts and birds to share their sin. God recognized the peacock’s abstinence, and that is why he blessed him with an imperishable flesh that would not decay at all.

People considering peacocks as their spirits have the full realization that they must work hard to achieve the life of their dreams. Peacocks cannot see their own feathers, meaning they are not aware of their beauty. Similarly, people can be unaware of their gifts. Peacocks’ spirits will guide you into your inner consciousness to explore your true potential. Their spirit can heal your mental and emotional wounds, as they are believed to possess strong therapeutic powers. After your recovery, you can grow stronger and wiser from your experiences. Finally, the peacock spirits can also lend you a wealth of self-love and self-confidence to foster your positive emotions.

I hope you love the idea of our new series in 2023. What are your spirit animals?
