It's Turkey Time!
As we approach Thanksgiving, it's a good time to look at what deeper meanings the Turkey may hold for us.
When you see an animal that’s outside of your usual daily encounters, whether it be a live animal, a statue, in a picture, etc.,
it’s a good time to research animal totems and what the animal
represents for you at this time of your life.
Some animal totems stay with us for our whole lifetime and
some just come to help us at different points in our life.
My friend,Traci, recently shared her experience of turkeys with me and her spiritual perspective on their meaning:
"I was driving in my car – and a bunch of turkeys
with a lot of babies crossed the street stopping my car. I have never seen this before.
Turkeys have a long history associated
with spirituality and the honoring of the Earth Mother.
The turkey is the symbol of all the
blessings that the earth contains, along with the ability to use them to their
greatest advantage.
Because
the turkey lives for 12 years and it takes the earth 12 months to revolve
around the sun, the turkey honors the life cycle of the earth.
The symbology of seeing all those
turkey babies suggest a new life cycle for the earth as well as for us.
Turkeys
are native to our continent and were raised by the Aztecs and the Mayans. They feed on nuts and acorns which are
associated with hidden wisdom and new seeds of growth. Animals that eat nuts and acorns
reflect that “new nourishment” in the form of “new wisdom and/or growth” is
likely to occur.
Male
turkeys have a peculiar growth on their forehead that inflates. This growth has been linked to the
symbology of the third eye – the center for higher vision. It is considered the seat of feminine
energies within each of us. This
reflects its tie to Mother Earth and all its feminine energies and
possibilities."
The animal totem TURKEY can also
represent:
Abundance and fertility
A connection to the third eye,
insights
Appreciation of mother earth
Generosity
Preparation
New beginnings
Pride
Survivor
Renewal/Rebirth
Love, light and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
