ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds…

But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare to you.

Job 12: 7-8

I’m so excited to feature today’s site, www.whats-your-sign.com the Source for Symbolic Meanings, Signs and Portents! (Those twenty cardinals I mentioned in this week’s vlog? This site helped me to figure out what they meant!) The site’s creator, Avia Venefica, was gracious enough to provide a few words for us:

Symbolism inspires our awareness to move outside the realm of “what is.” So, the observation of deeper symbolic meaning is the acknowledgment of reality outside the realm of common. For example: We see a tree in our view, and by exploring its secrets of symbolism we see beyond its common presence. And that means, dear friends, at any given moment we have access to non-local, uncommon, nontraditional experience. And what’s so great about that? It means we have a hand in how we view our entire life experience. It means magic is inherent in every inhalation, every arboreal wrinkle, every cloudy contour. Symbolism sets a spin on our perception that whirls us off the axis of conventionalism. That off-kilter stance is the first step to true enchantment and true power in personal transformation.

Avia Venefica is a rogue-hermit symbolic junkie who goes digging for deeper meanings into everything via means of meditation, motorcycling, musing and general mental meandering. She is convinced all life beats to esoteric energetic pulsations, and she’s committed to keeping her ephemeral fingers pressed attentively on prime pulse-points.
