BLUE JAY TIDBITS
Blue jays are from the corvidae family. The same as crows, ravens and magpies.
Blue jays are frequent visitors to back yard bird feeders although other birds might consider them "raiders" because of their aggressive behavior.
Two striking characteristics of blue jays is their beautiful appearance and their variety of raucous calls and songs. These calls often serve as alarms for other birds when a hawk, cat or other predator is nearby.
They have an incredible ability to mimic other birds calls and especially those of the Red-shouldered Hawk or the Red-tailed Hawk.
They are also notorious raiders of other birds nests and a favorite seems to be robins nests as they are similar to their own.
Blue jays are monogamous, meaning pairs bond and remain together for life. The male courts the female by feeding her constantly and continues to do so while she incubates the four to six brown-spotted, greenish eggs.
The color blue is associated with spiritual awakening. Since the color blue is symbolic it will mean different things to different people. In general though, the color blue is known to calm the mind and soothe the heart.
Blue jays are highly adaptive and will teach those with this totem the knowledge of survival.
Blue jay medicine will guide you in the proper use of power to utilize abilities to their fullest potential. It will also aid you in this discovery and developing personal power, awareness and higher knowledge.
If a blue jay comes to you in dreams it's asking you if your listening to your intuition and instincts. Are you balancing your personal gifts? Blue jay will teach and show you how to master the abilities you are learning.
Finding your animal totem is a spiritual journey.
The animal you feel most attracted to or kinship with is probably your main animals energy that will be with you all your life. There are other animal spirits that will come and go depending upon your needs at the time.
Each day upon rising step into nature, physically or mentally. The first animal you see or feel, become it. Take on it's characteristics and allow it to become part of you. In this way a deeper insight about yourself is gained as you feel the animal's spirit awakening inside you.
The direction your animal totem is facing when see it in your dreams or in real life also has meaning.
Facing North means you need to learn lessons of using your potential. Your element is the earth, which is symbolic of wisdom, patience and prosperity. Grounding aspects of mind, body and spirit. What you gain in knowledge and teachings will be used later. Listen to your intuitions and trust that your inner pathway will be revealed to you at the right time.
Facing East is learning the lessons of responsible relationships. Your element is air, which links heaven and earth allowing you to walk between the spiritual and the physical using dreams and visions. Be open to any revelations you get for they will give you guidance to grow spiritually within and without.
Facing West is the lesson of adaptability. Water is your element, which always takes the path of less resistance. This allows you to adapt according to the needs in all areas of your life. To do this requires a shift in consciousness to be able to flow like water over given circumstances.
Facing South are the lessons of life, death and rebirth. Fire is your element and it rules the heart, passions and love that help to regenerate lives. Change must be met with strength and endurance knowing you will awaken anew, fresh and purified. All of life is a cycle, there are many transition periods we must go Through. During these times we learn, grow and expand our self-awareness.
