Unicorn is one of the most popular mythical creatures that seem to exist in many cultures. In the West, unicorn is usually portrayed as a slender, white beautiful horse with a spiralling horn on its forehead. Unicorns appear only to the pure at heart according to the some legend, this is perhaps why so few of us have seen one. Although the behavior and appearance of the unicorn differs depending on the location, it was usually considered untamable and wild in the Western world, while in the Orient it was gentle, peaceful, meek and said to be the bringer of good luck.

In the West the unicorn was first mentioned by a Greek physician and historian of Persia and India, Ctesias, in 398 BC. According to him, unicorns lived in India. Ctesias described the creatures as "wild asses which are as big as a horse, or even bigger. Their heads are dark red, their bodies are white and their eyes are deep blue. The horn on their forehead is quite long, about half-a-meter long". the horn was also described as white at the base, dark brown or black in the middle and with a red, sharp tip. People believed that the horn possesses healing abilities. It became quite fashionable amongst royalty and nobility in the Middle Ages to own a drinking cup made of the horn of unicorn since it was supposed to detect poison. The animal seems to be a mixture of a Himalayan antelope, Indian rhinoceros and the wild ass.

In China, their unicorn is called as Qilin or Chilin/ Kilin. The Chinese unicorn is regarded as one of the four sacred beasts: Qilin, Phoenix, Dragon and the Tortoise. Qilin is also considered as a creature of great power and wisdom. Its appearance was always considered a sign of good luck. The Chinese believe that Qilin can only appear during the time when there is a wise and kind leader.

In the West, unicorn is a symbol of strength, agility, endurance, wisdom, perseverance and playfulness. It is also represents hope, purity, grace and love. While in China, this sacred creature is a symbol of good luck, protection and wisdom.

In feng shui, Chinese unicorn is used as a protection and good luck symbol by many people around the world

Goose aids in communication, especially through the use of stories. Hence, they stimulate the imagination and can help one move through creative blocks.

Geese fly in a “V” formation, like an arrowhead pointing in new directions. Their flight behavior also reminds us that as each individual makes her quest, it becomes easier for others to do so.

FOX – Feminine magic of camouflage, shapeshifting and invisibility, Nocturnal, dawn and dusk.

Fox teaches how to be invisible, camouflaged, shape shifting. The fact there are 21 different varieties around the world has significant metaphysical significance.

21 in the tarot deck signifies the world. It reflects a new world opening up and that the process of creation is beginning. It reflects that the world is growing and shapeshifting itself into new patterns that will be beneficial. Meditate on this card to understand how fox medicine can be helping with creation. It can reveal what is growing and shapeshifting in your own world.

Because its a creature of the night it is often imbued with supernatural power. Because its an animal of the between times and places it could be a guide to enter the fairy realm.

Practising and using camouflage is something everyone with a fox totem should learn to do. You can adjust the the frequency and intensity of the energy field so that you harmonize with others. You can focus on changing its appearance so that you blend in.

The historical character of Merlin had to have used fox medicine and energy to accomplish much of what he did. Even during his lifetime Merlin was ahistorical and unrevealed.. he was largely unknown to the greater public except as merlin. When he was summoned by the kings, he came silently, disguised as a poor wood cutter or a peasant. he practiced concealement habitually and for a long period of time.

The fox uses its ability at quiet camouflage to its benefit. With practice you can develop the same kind of ability so you may see or hear things that otherwise could not.

An aspect of fox fur has a significance as well with anyone with a fox totem. Hair is often associated with psychic energy serving as antennae. Hair and fur are symbols of energy and fertility and layers of fur reflect levels of energy and fertility. With the fox its the undercoat which is the primal source from which an individual draws his/her abilities. As the outer hair changes as does the expression of the inner creative force. Its tail is a symbol of the feminine creative forces.
Individuals with fox totems have an ability to insulate themselves from anything that may seem to be cold especially in relationships. They can become warm and cozy in themselves.

A fox’s tracks look like a single row of footprints this reflects a straight forward expression of the feminine energy.

They have the ability to run up trees which reflects an ability to move in different dimensions.

They have an ability to hear what is not being said as well as any whispering going on. This ability is also tied in to clairaudience, the ability to hear spirit.

They have excellent eyesight and an ability to see moving objects especially at the edges or borders of areas. Because of this it is not unusual with those of this totem to see spirit, see those beings of the ‘between places’ like the faires and elves.





















Fish as a totem

Water holds endless mystery to us – it represents that which is certainly there, but cannot be seen.

Water has also been known to be a womb symbol and as such, an emblem of birth, fertility and woman-ness. This association comes from many ancient flood myths, and the “from water springs life” concept.

Given the wonder that its domain holds, the fish too has similar symbolic meaning. There are numerous species of fish, but the creature in general holds some prime symbolic meanings:

fertility
eternity
creativity
femininity
good luck
happiness
knowledge
transformation


The fish was sacred to the Greco-Roman mythology, where it held symbolic meaning of change and transformation. We see this in the myth of Aphrodite and Heros when they turned themselves into fish in order to escape from the ferocious Typhon.

In Christianity, the fish is a symbol of abundance and faith as observed in the Biblical story of fishes and loaves.

Pagan traditions recognized the fish as a feminine symbol of fertility and an attribute of the Goddess. Water is a natural emblem of the flow of the Divine Mother principal, and as such, all creatures of the water (including fish) are aspects of the fertility and power of the female deity.

As an ancient Celtic symbol, the symbolic meaning of fish (salmon, specifically) dealt with knowledge, wisdom, inspiration and prophecy. Ancient Celts believed the salmon derived its wisdom from consuming the sacred hazel nuts from the well of knowledge (Segais). Further, they believed to eat the salmon would mean gaining the wisdom of the well too.

In ancient Eastern Indian mythology, the fish is a symbol of transformation and creation. This is observed in the ancient flood myth in which Vishnu transformed himself into a fish (Matsya) to save the world from a great flood. In this form, he guided king Manu’s boat (which contained the select few survivors & seeds of life to re-create the world after the flood subsided) to safety.

Ancient African creation myths tell of Mangala, the creator, planting seeds in the cosmic womb. From these seeds two fish erupted, and were set forth into the cosmos upon the waters of creation. We see from this myth the symbolic meaning of fish yet again deals with fertility and creativity by embodying a new phase of initial life. ( click here for other twin symbols).

Furthermore, in Buddhism, the fish makes an appearance as one of the eight sacred symbols of the Buddha: 1) Conch, 2) Lotus, 3) Parasol, 4) Wheel, 5) Knot, 6) Pair of Golden Fish, 7) Banner of Victory, 8) Vase.

Lastly, in Norse and ancient European cultures, the fish had symbolic meanings of adaptability, determination, and the flow of life. It was observed by these cultures that fish often display enormous attributes of adaptability in the wild, and they adopted these characteristics for themselves. Salmon were commonly revered for their determination in their annual pilgrimage to their spawning grounds – the entire journey swum against the current.



BEAR

The Great Bear is found on every continent and comes in many sizes and colors. The bear is revered on every continent, especially North America where the indigenous people who believe it was once human and Great Mystery lives in the spirit of bear. Many American Indian tribes have bear clans and bear ceremonies. Bear people use herbs and other plants in healing. Bear medicine is powerful and without peer among the animal people. The bear is a guide to the river of meaning.

BEAR MEDICINE

Grandfather Bear gives strength, introspection and knowledge.

Bears are active during the night and day. This symbolizes its connection with solar energy, that of strength and power, and lunar energy, that of intuition. It enhances and teaches those with this totem how to develop both within themselves.

Bears are sensitive to Mother Nature's cycles. They sleep long hours in the winter living on fat stored in their bodies. It teaches us how to go within and find the resources for survival and how to remain balanced amid change. This medicine is a reminder of the great circle of life and rebirth

The stars above in infinite meadows of heaven show us the Great Bear in the Sky, Ursa Major, as a sign of the infinity of bear wisdom.

Bear is the embodiment of strength and is fierce to a threat on its lair. It is not wise to come between the mother bear and her cubs, teaching us ways to always protect those we love.

The bear holds the teachings of introspection

19/10/10

Strong bird totems this week, swallows in the office again,
bird on roof of office pecking at glass, tits on the windowsill at home pecking at glass.

The chant of 'shalom elohim' came thru today so tried chanting it on the nursery, lovely chant, very calm and a red dragonfly came and landed on my glove while chanting it which was really touching.

One solitary heron flew over my head at the lake and gave a squawk. Absolutely adore them.

13/7/10 - 2 herons.

Heron - by wolf's moon

Peace

As with all of the Creature Beings of the Earth Mother, the coloring of the Great Blue Heron’s feathers is significant, as each color carries with it special attributes unique to that Creature. Blue in nature is connection to Father Sky and also represents Peace and Tranquility. In Esoteric thought, deep blue is also the color of the sixth chakra which corresponds to the third eye. Hence, insight and psychic vision are also emphasized here.

Although the Great Blue Heron is by nature a predominantly solitary bird,
during mating season, Herons will gather in clusters to nest and raise young in what are called ~colonies.~ It is quite remarkable to witness the peace and harmony that abounds in these colonies, and is a testimony to the ability of a highly independent creature to adapt to ~communal life.~

***Just as the Blue Heron must find within him/herself the ability to live in cooperative peace with other members of the colony, so does the two-legged beside whom Heron fly enter the Earthwalk with the theme of Peace. This may either be a natural state of ~Being~ for one with this bird as a Primary Totem, or in the instance where Great Blue Heron has surfaced as either a Messenger or Lesson Totem, the Lesson then becomes finding Inner Peace and
Tranquility.

If Great Blue Heron is one of the Primary Totems, throughout life much interest will be focused in establishing and maintaining Peace. Initially however, this quest for harmony may manifest as the Blue Heron Soul attempting to direct Others to such a state, preliminarily failing to recognize that Peace must first come from ~Within.~ Consider the following quote
by the renowned Sioux Holy Man, Black Elk:

"The first peace, which is the most important, is that which
comes within the souls of the people when they realize their relationship,
their oneness with the Universe and all its powers,
and when they realize that at the center of the universe
dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere,
it is within each of us."

When Blue Heron soul finds that Peace within the ~Self,~ the lesson gained in the journey there will be shared as a means of guiding ~Others~ to finding that same Peace within. Yet when in peaceful attunement and harmony with Self, the two-legged beside whom Blue Heron flies will also emit a powerful and profound tranquil vibration that will effect all around them and inspire the burgeoning soul to become in balance and harmony with All, a priceless Gift to give indeed!***

Uniqueness

As a member of the Stork family, these large birds are distinctive in appearance in part due to their blue feathers which can range in color from a dusky slate-grey to a deep blue. Their long legs, which serve them well as they wade through the shallows of swamps and wetlands, and elongated neck are also distinguishing characteristics of these splendid birds.

When wading through water in search of prey or standing and observing their
surroundings, these birds are the picture of grace and stateliness, yet when in flight their appearance is a bit gangly as they fly with their heads supported between their shoulders, rather than stretched out before them as is typical of their White Crane cousins. Their blue feathers are also a feature that distinguishes them from other members of the Crane family. These separating characteristics suggest that those beside whom Great Blue Heron flies will
also be individualists who will utilize their own differences to elicit change in the world around them.

***For the two-legged with Blue Heron as a Totem, there will be a desire to establish themselves as a unique and independent Being, often making these souls the revolutionaries that disrupt the status quo of society in order to elicit change and evolution. Although this is a trait with many challenges, when operating from its Highest Vibration, Blue Heron souls teach the rest of us the value and importance of each individual contribution to the Whole.

When young, the Blue Heron individual will be quite unusual in either appearance or mannerisms in ways that they may often find themselves ostracized by peer members. In extreme circumstances, even their own family members will tend to distance themselves, forcing the Blue Heron individual to establish separate and independent lives at an early age.

The teen-age years which are often met with a sense of awkwardness for any human maturing and evolving, are particularly painful for the one beside whom Blue Heron flies, as their appearance and/or behavior will tend to set them apart at a time in their growth when they seek the most to integrate and ~blend-in.~ Often, there will be long limbs, above average height and a uncoordinated gait that may be the object of ridicule during the angst of
their emerging from childhood toward adulthood.

Yet with sufficient maturation (and as these individuals grow into their height and distinguishing characteristics), these very souls that were once considered "odd looking" suddenly blossom into stunning adults that may quickly find themselves thrust into the attention and admiration of many suitors. More than a few fashion models and actors/actresses have Blue Heron predominately placed amongst their Primary Totems, as the very characteristics that once set them painfully apart, becomes an attracting force of beauty
and grace that pulls others toward them. Even in those instances when there is not great "physical beauty," there will be a special spark to these individuals that will later draw positive attention with a great deal of magnetic force.

On a spiritual level, there will also be a phase of awkwardness and groping for identity. Many revolutionary ideas are first conceptualized by the Blue Heron individual, as they will not be content with watching society operate in the same mode it has done for generations. As a child this independent thought will be a great consternation to parents and guardians, yet as the body, mind and soul of Blue Heron grows and develops, this same ability to think independently may serve them in professions such as exploration and research, politics and scientific discovery and invention as these souls once more learn to transform what was once viewed as a ~liability~ into an asset.*** wetlands, and elongated neck are also distinguishing characteristics of these splendid birds.

Ability to Stand Alone

One of the dominant physical characteristics of the Great Blue Heron are its
long, spindly legs. Like all members of the Stork family, Blue Heron utilizes these elongated limbs to wade through the marshes and swamplands that constitute their natural environment, in search of the food that swims in the water or crawls along the spongy banks.

It is not uncommon to see a Great Blue Heron standing with one leg drawn up in a resting position, and balancing like a seasoned acrobat on the other leg. Herons are often spied dozing while standing thus on one foot as well (like their White Stork cousins) and as discussed earlier, tend to prefer solitude and their own company (when not in mating season and living in communal colonies).

***This particular set of keywords indicates a powerful Lesson for those who share this Earthwalk with Blue Heron Totem, as there will be many experiences in learning to operate independently and to trust and rely heavily on the ~Self.~ This can be a dual-edged sword however, as much like the Heron must find the proper equilibrium to balance on one leg, the two-legged beside whom Heron flies must also learn the delicate balance and counter-balance between independence and cooperative loving and living with ~Others~

Often times there are likely two distinctive scenarios which contribute to
the development of the Blue Heron individual. The first such set of circumstances is where the human counterpart enters along the Sacred Hoop of Life as a very peaceful and sensitive person that seeks out the company of Others, yet is often rejected by the very souls he/she loves and trusts the most. This may establish a fear of rejection, and often effects their later interactions in adult relationships, as there is often the inherent fear or expectation that as soon as a bond of love or trust is formed, they will be rejected or betrayed. Until the Blue Heron individual can heal from these painful episodes, examine the lessons that they have been present to teach, and integrate the experience to find a better center of balance, they will often either shut themselves off emotionally to avoid future ~hurts,~ or they may become lost in a repetitive pattern of choosing partners that will ultimately fulfill their expectations of
abandonment.

The second ~grouping~ of Blue Heron individuals are often highly independent
(seemingly from the moment of birth), and tend to prefer the solitude and comfort of their own company over interacting with family members and friends. There is the sense about these souls that they are capable of handling any task so long as they are left alone to their own devices to accomplish it. The difficulty surfaces when they ignore the interactions with their fellow human that is a vital and integral part of our life in flesh. Until these individuals are fully able to embrace the understanding that we are all here to interconnect with our fellow two-leggeds and the animals of the Ina Maka (Earth Mother), there will be an underlying restlessness and general dissatisfaction with life. Their challenge thus becomes learning to find
the harmony between time spent alone, and time spent with their fellow Earth inhabitants.

In both instances, the primary focus is upon gaining enough self-confidence
that they are well capable of relying upon their own highly developed sense of timing and action, and tempering it with embracing loving relationships that operate within healthy parameters and involve requisite sharing and co-nurturing with the respect of individual freedom and independence. Yet when this fine the end result is a beauty to behold and often leads these souls down the pathway as impartial judges, counselors and artists who convey through their choice of medium a world in which all live in true
Harmony.***
