I pulled a card from my Animal Medicine deck this morning....
Hmmm...this could be an interesting day.....
The animal symbolism of the bat speaks of:
- Illusion
- Rebirth
- Dreams
- Intuition
- Initiation
- Journeying
- Inner Depth
- Communication
The Native American animal symbolism of the bat comes from a
keen observation
of this magnificent animal. These people recognized that the bat was
highly sensitive to their surroundings and so therefore was considered a
symbol of intuition, dreaming and vision. This made the bat a powerful
symbol for Native American shamans and medicine people. Often the spirit
of the bat would be invoked when special energy was needed, like
“night-sight” which is the
ability to see through illusion
or ambiguity and dive straight to the truth of matters. The bat is a
symbol of rebirth and depth because it is a creature that lives in the
belly of the Mother (Earth). From the
womb-like caves it emerges every evening at dusk. And so – from the womb it is reborn every evening.”
