Signs, Omens & Messages in Nature

When we least expect it a powerful spiritual communication can come from the soft voice of Nature.  In anthropology there is a belief that all of Nature – the elements, the plants and the animals have spirits.

I believe in Spiritism which is the belief that not only is the nonhuman world alive, but it also possesses articulate and at times intelligible spirits, which can perceive, communicate and interact with us.  On an intuitive level, we always know there is significance to our experiences in Nature.   Here is a personal stories where there was some spiritual force associated with the phenomena and a unique delivery of the message.

Many years ago, I was living for a short time on a ranch outside Boise, Idaho.  I was packing my things and getting ready to move into town, when my ex-partner came into the room and said he had a gift for me.
 
This felt strange as I was packing and we were in the middle of a divorce!  I open up a box and pulled out a “bear claw” necklace.  The minute I held the necklace in my hands, the vibe was off and I got a strong negative chill.  I thanked him and placed it to the side until I figured out what I could do with it. 

The next day, I went to a dry creek bed near the house and buried it very deep into the sandy creek bottom.  I knew no one would ever find it there and I was relieved to be rid of it.

Here’s where it gets really strange.  I moved into town and rented a home where I felt safe and could relax.  As the last of my boxes and furniture was brought into my new residence, the moving company foreman handed me the bill. 

I’ll never forget the look on his face as he told me that he always checks one last time in the back of the moving truck and there in the middle of the floor of the truck was a Bear Claw Necklace!   It was the same necklace that I had secretly buried in the dry creek bed.

You might wonder what I did with the necklace.  Well, while it was in my possession, there were some very bad dreams of being hurt by a black bear.  It would chase me into a dark cave and I would hide.  This negative dream went on for a little while finally, I knew what had to be done.

As soon as possible, I found a medicine person who cleared its energy and I gave him the necklace as a gift.  He told me in the right hands it was powerful.   I was just relieve to be rid of it!  Once I got rid of the necklace, all bad dreams stopped.

There are two very important books to share with you on the subject of Nature Spirits and their possible messages:  Nature Speaks and Animal Speak, both books are by Author Ted Andrews.  These books include a comprehensive dictionary of the symbolisms of Nature.
