So I was looking out my window and saw two birds and the idea of making a list of symbolism associated with types of birds came to mind. My mom always taught me if you see an animal -especially if they are doing something out of the ordinary- you should take it as an omen. So here’s a list of some basic birds, some of the associations are personal but I hope you like it!
Blue Jay-the truth will be revealed, high energy, playfulness, clarity and communication.
Cardinal-hope, joy, good health, some associate them with angels or deceased love ones, passion and warmth.
Crow-often associated with magic and witches, transformation, power, intelligence and mystery.
Duck-friendships, new friends, happiness, good fortune and protect against negative energies “water off a ducks back” :)
Dove-peace, harmony, joy, love, might be telling you to break away from a toxic situation, think positive, often associated with Aphrodite or Jesus or Angels
Eagle-power, leadership, freedom, adventure, breaking free.
Hawk- common as spirit guides, courage, protection, and awareness.
Hummingbird- I adore hummingbirds and often associate them with faeries. Creativity, joy, love and beauty. Can be a sign that you are moving too fast in life and need to take a break.
Magpie-Magpies represent duality because seeing them can be really good or really bad, I know it’s confusing :/ Seeing a magpie can be a good luck omen and new oppurtunities will appear. They also represent illusion and trickery, maybe someone is being a two-faced friend to you.
Owl- wisdom, associated with the goddess Athena, intuition, spiritual exploration, change, observation and intelligence.
Raven- associated with the nordic god Odin, mystery, magic, fae magic, knowledge, mischieve, and can be seen as a death omen (but can also mean change)
Robin- luck, prosperity, good things will happen, joy and your hard work will soon be rewarded.
Sparrow- associated with Aphrodite, new love and relationships, fertility, team work, time of productivity and stop procrastinating.
Stork-long life, prosperity, fertility, new life, wisdom, take time to relax, motherhood and luck.
Swan- also associated with Aphrodite and Apollo, gracefulness, beauty, music, poetry, creativity, loyalty, and long lasting relationships.
Vulture-death, cleaning up other people’s messes, renewal, patient, use your resources and be perceptive.
Woodpecker- hard work, take advantage of new oppurtunities, attention, progress and determination.
Tip! If you are repeatedly seeing a certain animal or have a strong liking to an animal it could be a way a spirit guide is trying to get your attention (or that animal is just really common in your area lol )
Manifestation Board: Opulence and Peace
I am a highly blessed woman.
People see me as a beacon of peace, blessings, and love.
I am free of harm, and never tolerate bad behaviors in my presence.
I am delicate, precious, and gorgeous.
Beautiful locations always surround me; lush gardens, sea-side restaurants, and crisp wind freshly blowing against my skin blesses me on the daily.
When the wind blows on my skin, its a sign of good things to come.
The future that I want is rapidly on its way for me, and I am happily expecting it.
Golden rays of sunshine and light bless my skin, and when I close my eyes, I can feel the goodness radiating from inside out, to remind myself of the beauty that is yet to come.
I am a blessing to the planet.
People know only to treat me to the absolute finest and most naturally gorgeous beautiful things in life.
Silk and satin, wine, fresh pressed exotic fruit juices, baked goods, and exquisite meals are blessed for me.
Lovely things are coming.
God bless and amen.

Which sign are you? 🍀🌪️🔥🌊
it can be tempting to live your life like a prequel. to live as if you’re setting up your own story.and once you lose the weight, once you have the money, once you graduate school, once you’re in a real relationship, once, once, once. then finally, you’ll begin to live, and everything you do up until that point is some kind of half-life, some unimportant foreword you can skip. don’t do this. inhabit your life completely. sink fully into the wealth of your existence. the power to manifest is in the fearless owning of who you are, so that you can shape where you’re going.
Hi welcome to our blog!
We are Angel and Comet !
We are offering free readings ,before requesting a reading please read the rules.
1. For the moment we prefer to answer them in private, so if you send us an anonymous ask we can’t do your reading .
2. Be patient , doing readings for free is not easy and is time consuming,so it gonna take some time .
3. Don’t be rude (say a hello and a goodbye , please tell us your nickname, if you have preferred pronouns let us know we don’t wanna make anyone uncomfortable)
4. Even if you requested before a reading for us make sure to tell us again what you wanna know , your nickname etc . After completing a reading we are going to erase the messages .
5. We are more than happy to hear some feedback , but please be polite .
6. It’s ok to ask for another reading but consider that other people want readings too so again be patient .
7. Try to refrain yourself from asking us what you should do , you have your own life so you should take your own decisions.
8.(temporarily rule) Right now we are going through some personal matters , so we gonna start doing the readings starting with 15 February, until then we aren’t able to respond at all but you can send us your requests.
Template for asking for a reading :

We can’t ask everyone and make sure you are old enough to ask for a reading or that you aren’t gonna hurt yourself after you get our reading. Everyone has their own triggers and their own mental state . So make sure before you ask for a reading to check with yourself if : you are mentally ok with hearing something you might not like and second you are mature enough to not have a harmful reaction towards yourself or other .
The 8th house is all about fears, taboo, the dark side of the human mind and what’s hidden. It’s connected with Scorpio and associated with Pluto, the planet of regeneration and rebirth, it suggests that we’re all able to find the key for heal our traumas and win over our fears.
First, look at the sign on the cousp on the 8th house, here some examples (maybe I’ll explain in another post and in a more detailed way what does the sign on the 8th house cousp mean):
