There seems to be lot of talk going around that has a somewhat conspiratorial tone indicating that maybe our government or military has by use of some secret agent, maybe HAARP, to oft certain birds and certain fish, from certain areas. Our human nature prevails as we want to blame someone or something outside of us as the cause for what we perceive as unnatural or out of the ordinary.
The probability that the government is doing something seems unlikely to me, being the everlasting mystic and seeker that I am. Sometimes more can be found in the unexplainable or mysterious goings on of Nature than meets the eye. One only has to look from a different perspective to see that there may be more.
If you are a believer in omens or signs; the interpretation of events could be very different. In this case, the fish dying, blackbirds and doves falling from the sky, when seen from a mystical point of view could have several different meanings.
According to my research the mystical or magical messages from the black bird is about understanding of the energies of Mother Nature herself and also has associations with Archangel Auriel. Archangel Auriel is said to oversee all of Nature and all of the Nature spirits. Auriel’s colors are said to be yellow and black. The red winged black bird is associated with the energies of Cancer, the 7th Sign, and the prime nurturer of the planet. Further symbology relates to the Dark Mother and the primal feminine energies.
In the Tree of Life, red is associated with Geburah and the color black is associated with Binah. Geburah’s message is one of courage and reminds you have the ability to tear down old structures and outworn patterns in order to make room for the new. Watch words are responsibility and respect when tapping into the natural powers of the universe. Binah’s message is one of understanding, and is associated with beginnings and endings, birth and death, and asks us to go deeper and seek within, to trust divine timing and that what has been hidden will be soon revealed.
St. Kevin has also been associated with the black bird. His message was one of great love and gentleness. Perhaps if we practice more gentleness and love we can be open to new understandings about Nature and be open to new surprises that we find within and without.
The Dove brings us once again to the feminine energies especially of peace, maternity, and prophecy. Most all folklore centers around the Mother and feminine symbols, the yoni, female sexuality, and the embodiment of the maternal instinct. To the alchemist, it is symbol of sublimation or a refinement process. Sublimation could relate to transformation of emotions for us individually as well or could mean the transition or liberation of our whole culture into something new by clearing up our emotions, specifically the negative ones. What would a culture that was based on peace, gentleness, and love, respect and responsibility look like? Do you have courage to make the necessary changes to make it be so?
Being true to prophecy and having deep maternal instincts, what if the falling birds are doing their part through self sacrifice to assist humanity with our awakening process? It is a grand and noble act they have shown us. They gave up their lives to teach us something. What can each of us sacrifice to assist the whole?
The Return of the Dove as described in the The Keys of Enoch heralds a new age upon us. As we sing our new song, the song of the dove perhaps we are being encouraged to mourn what is passing and wake up to our promised inheritance and birthright.
In Christianity, the dove has long represented peace. Perhaps through sacrificing our need to have war, give up fear or the feeling that we need protection and surrender these things; we can have peace.
The fish has represented transformation and change throughout the ages. In Pagan traditions, the fish has been associated with fertility and an attribute of the Goddess. Water and fish both represent the natural flow of life and feminine principles of power and creation. In Celtic lore, the fish represented wisdom, knowledge, and prophecy. In Norse tradition, adaptability, determination and flow of life were represented by the fish. The story of a salmon is that they struggle upstream to the spawning areas, and once the eggs have been laid the female dies as her act of sacrifice. In Christianity, the fish has always symbolized abundance and faith, as shown in the story of the fishes and loaves. Some references as well are made to man being a transformational fish and the ocean as a symbol of an abyss of sin that man finds himself in.
One message that these amazing fish could be trying to show us is to give up the struggle, get back into our natural flow with Life, rewrite the story that we are sinners, become determined to act on the behalf of all, create the loaves for many, and know that we too are ‘adaptable’. The greatest gift we could give ourselves would be to relate to and begin to co-create with nature and our environment.
We have the power of enlightened minds, the wisdom of our hearts, and the visionary eyes to ‘see the signs’ and know what to do next.
