Peacocks are Magical

Peacocks are Magical

Peacocks are beautiful birds with stunning plumage that has been admired for centuries. They are also associated with some very special, mythological and spiritual meanings.

In Greek mythology, the peacock was sacred to Hera, the queen of the gods. 

Hera was known for her vanity, and she was said to have been given the peacock by Zeus as a gift. The peacock's tail feathers were said to represent Hera's eyes, and they were also seen as a symbol of immortality.

In Hinduism, the peacock is sacred to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.

Lakshmi is often depicted sitting on a peacock, and the bird is seen as a symbol of her grace and beauty. The peacock's tail feathers are also said to represent the petals of a lotus flower, which is a symbol of enlightenment.

In Buddhism, the peacock is a symbol of wisdom and compassion. 

The bird's ability to shed its old feathers and grow new ones is seen as a metaphor for the Buddhist path to enlightenment. The peacock's tail feathers are also said to represent the five skandhas, or the five aggregates of existence.

Peacock Totem

If the peacock is your totem animal, it is a sign that you are a wise and compassionate person. You are drawn to beauty and truth, and you have a natural ability to connect with others.

In many cultures, the peacock is seen as a symbol of good luck, protection, and new beginnings. The bird's bright colors and beautiful plumage are said to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.

If you are drawn to the symbolism of the peacock, it may be a sign that you are on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. The peacock can teach you to embrace your beauty, to stand up for what you believe in, and to use your wisdom and compassion to help others.

In praise of older women – no thank you!

Robert Graves (Th e White Goddess ) and the neo-pagans have a lot to answer for with their triple Goddess. We seem to have imbibed that whole "maiden-mother-crone" schema. It brings us all those stereotypes that I believe are best avoided – the girl who must be beautiful, the woman who must be a mother and, after a certain age, all that is left to us is our wisdom! These are gender roles that have existed for thousands of years! I tell you now, I don’t intend to be a crone – even one honoured for her wisdom! In reality, the most famous of the ancient Celtic triple Goddesses is Brigit, the daughter of the Dagda (Father God), often called "the poetess." The story goes that there were three of Brigits, all sisters--Brigit the Poetess, Brigit the Smith and Brigit the Doctor--patrons of their respective skills. But they are all the same age. Brigit’s multiplicity implies that she is a master of many arts – all valuable. Having said that, I am getting very tired of having...

Asking the Wrong Question

Asking the Wrong Question Asking the wrong question. Have you ever asked yourself a question, only to realize that it was the wrong question? Maybe you were trying to solve a problem, but the question you asked led you down a rabbit hole of irrelevant information. Or maybe you were trying to make a decision, but the question you asked only confused you more. Whatever the case may be, asking the wrong question can be a costly mistake. It can waste your time, lead you down the wrong path, and ultimately prevent you from achieving your goals. So how can you avoid asking the wrong question? Here are a few tips: 1.

Avoid asking leading questions. Leading questions are those that suggest a particular answer. For example, asking "Don't you think that X is a good idea?" is a leading question, because it s...

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MphBfoSUWrM] Amergin, Bard of the Milesians, lays claim to the Land of Ireland I am a stag: of seven tines, I am a flood: across a plain, I am a wind: on a deep lake, I am a tear: the Sun lets fall, I am a hawk: above the cliff, I am a thorn: beneath the nail, I am a wonder: among flowers, I am a wizard: who but I Sets the cool head aflame with smoke? I am a spear: that roars for blood, I am a salmon: in a pool, I am a lure: from paradise, I am a hill: where poets walk, I am a boar: ruthless and red, I am a breaker: threatening doom, I am a tide: that drags to death, I am an infant: who but I Peeps from the unhewn dolmen, arch? I am the womb: of every holt, I am the blaze: on every hill, I am the queen: of every hive, I am the shield: for every head, I am the tomb: of every hope. Song of Amergin translated by Robert Graves , from  The White Goddess , Faber and Faber Limited, 24 Russell Square London WC1. It appears here under the principle of Fai...
