This morning, before the coffee had finished brewing and before I had put my glasses on, I was perusing FaceBook and found a post from Jenny Pavlovic of 8 State Hurricane Kate fame. Jenny said a woodchuck had gotten under her truck and she was asking about the significance of woodchuck.
What a great way to start the day and to incorporate the wisdom of animals in your life! First you notice the animal, and then find out what the animal signifies.
Woodchuck, also known as groundhog, speaks of the following:
- Getting to new areas of interest: are you entering a new time of studying, building?
- Hibernation: is it time (regardless of the season) to pull back and reflect?
- Rebirth: what is it time to let go of?
Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small by Ted Andrews, is a magnificent reference book to have on hand as you are studying and learning about the animals. It helps you to identify and meet your own animal helpers, those animals that will guide you through the everyday of your life. It is also a comprehensive dictionary of more than 100 different animals, birds, reptiles and insects, giving you basic as well as symbolic and historic information on the animal. I highly recommend this book as a fundamental in your own library. True confessions here: My copy is well worn and well loved, but it’s never where I need it. I have been considering getting two more copies…..one for the car and one for the upstairs, leaving my original copy in the office! That way I will always have one on hand when I need it. If only there was a digital copy for my computer…..
What animal is reaching out to you today? Remember: U2CanTalk2theAnimals!
