V&E Animal Omens: Snake

Snakes represent metamorphosis and rebirth.
Today I went for a walk in the woods and came across a little gardener snake. Usually I wouldn’t see them because I try not to but I was with someone who is a snake magnet. I took this a sign that it is time for me to delve into snake omens. What does it mean when a snake crosses your path? What is the spiritual significance of the snake?
What lessons can we learn from the snake?

V&E Animal Omens: Wild Turkey

Yesterday I went for a ramble in the forest with a wonderful walking companion and we came across a beautiful, female, wild turkey! We tried to follow it but both the turkey and ourselves discovered that the path we were walking had been overtaken by a new-build subdivision.
It has been such a long time since I have written about animal omens and this encounter was so striking and made such an impression I had to know what message the turkey has for us!
Turns out they are messengers of abundance and in Spring they represent the beginning of a new journey of abundance. There is plenty to learn from this fortunate meeting in the woods!

V&E Animal Omens: What it Means When You Find A Dead Bird

Dead Bird Omens are not as ominous as we might expect. Paradoxically, the death of a bird represents new beginnings. Spiritually death is not an end but a transition.

V&E Animal Omens: Cardinal

A cardinal visited me this morning outside my window & since I usually don’t catch moments like these I wondered what omens exist for Cardinals. In Alchemy, birds are symbolic for the purified soul freed from earthly constraints. 
An encounter with the Cardinal it is an omen for all things love: self-love, harmony, confidence, romance, passionate relationships, power dynamics, and monogamy.
