Good luck & Fortune

Rabbits and squirrels a plenty. I have a friend who used to live near me and she had a large number of frogs in her yard. Apparently it means good luck, transformation, and fertility. Her house was quite transformative as it was where we did a lot of our spiritual development.

My mothers house was a breeding ground for rabbits. I think this house that I live in for the moment is as well. Rabbits can also mean fertility. They also bring good luck and fortune. That’s probably why rabbits feet were a thing when I was growing up. I don’t see that too often anymore, it’s probably out of vogue because of the cruelty to animals. I’m happy enough to appreciate the rabbits where they are.

Another thing rabbits are known for is nurturing and protection. I feel that resonates deeply with where I am staying. I’m currently staying with my great-aunt who is very nurturing. She’s also very adamant about her house being protected by angels. Maybe the rabbits are angels in disguise? Whether or not they are angels in disguise, they are full of symbolism. They can also mean agility and balance, and they are a symbol of the moon.

When I was staying at my cousin’s house, I saw wild turkeys quite often. For several months, there was a turkey that would come to my window in the morning and make their god awfully spooky noise. Trust me, if you haven’t heard a wild turkeys call, it’s spooky.

Turkeys also hold a lot of meaning. Here is what AI has to say about the matter:

Turkeys hold various symbolic meanings across different cultures and contexts. Here are some common symbolic associations with turkeys:

1. Abundance and Gratitude: Turkeys are often associated with abundance, as they are large birds known for their ample meat. They can symbolize an abundant harvest, prosperity, and the importance of gratitude for the blessings in life.
2. Sacrifice and Generosity: In some cultures, turkeys are seen as sacrificial animals, and their consumption is often associated with communal feasts and sharing. They symbolize generosity, hospitality, and the idea of giving to others.
3. Connection with Nature: Turkeys are native to the Americas and are often seen as a connection to the natural world. They symbolize the importance of being grounded and connected to the Earth, as well as respecting and honoring nature.
4. Power and Courage: Turkeys have distinctive displays of their plumage, such as fanning their tail feathers, which can symbolize power, confidence, and the ability to display one’s uniqueness. They can also symbolize courage and strength, as they can be resilient and protective in the face of threats.
5. Pardon and Forgiveness: In the United States, Thanksgiving Day is often associated with the presidential tradition of pardoning a turkey. This act symbolizes forgiveness, mercy, and the opportunity for second chances.

I think when I was seeing turkeys, it was more about nature telling me to hold onto to those qualities. Maybe that’s what nature is telling me right now as well. I suppose it could mean anything or nothing at all. Regardless, I went through some dark times at that house. It isn’t the house’s fault. It isn’t my cousin’s fault. Rather, the choices I made were poor choices. I recognize that. However hard it is to hear, I had to go through that journey though. Especially through the difficulties. There were lessons I had to learn. I think that’s where the power and courage come into play.

I’m thankful the totem animal of this property is the rabbit. It’s less creepy and it’s symbolism more pleasant.
