We've been eagerly anticipating the first signs of spring: longer daylight, warmer temps, and the return of flowers. Springtime is also a time to honor certain spirit animals and shapes that are associated with this season of new beginnings and rebirth.
Rabbits and birds are commonly thought of as harbingers of spring.
In many cultures, rabbits are known as totems for fertility, good luck, fortune, and prosperity. According to Delbert Charging Crow, a Lakota elder, he believes the spirit of the rabbit "will take away your worries. The rabbit needs to run fast to escape its prey." This can be interpreted as chasing away "negativity in your life". If you feel called, working with a rabbit fetish carving can increase abundance and bring in positivity.
Birds are the first to announce the transition to spring with their bright chirping as they migrate to warmer climates. Seeing the first robin of the year symbolizes new beginnings on the horizon. Visits from a cardinal bring in feelings of hope. Most people associate their visits with messages from a departed loved one. Take note of the animals and birds that cross your path-they may be trying to get your attention. Embrace the wonder of these signs!
Egg shapes have long been associated with rebirth, renewal, and transformation.
The oval shape of an egg is a symbol of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It represents the potential for new life and the endless possibilities that come with each new beginning. Crystal eggs can also be used to help shield, strengthen, and heal your aura. Their renewal energy channels personal transformation and new beginnings. This shape also represents newness and a fresh start! Place them on your Third Eye Chakra to clear your mind and enhance your intuition. They can be used to apply pressure to tension areas in the body and enhance the flow of energy in the body.
The mushroom is a symbol for kundalini energy and spiritual enlightenment. The stalk represents the spine and the little cap at the top of the stalk represents the opened Crown Chakra. Working with crystal mushrooms can help ground you as you work through spiritual ascension energies. They are also a symbol of good luck and good fortune!
Certain crystals embody the spirit of the Spring Equinox.
