Dove and Firefly

Dove has been around the last 2 days. Yesterday sitting on the fence for me. Today flew over my head... asking me to look her up.

To the Native Americans, the mourning dove represents spirit and communication with the spirit. They believe that when the mourning dove appears, there will be opportunities and messages for growth. They were also believed to be harbingers of death, but only if seen under extremely unusual circumstances.

Some Native Americans believe that the cooing of the dove could coax rainfall. In fact, they believe that the mere appearance of a dove was a sign of rain. A few cults believed that it was the cry that was heard, indicating a soul passing peacefully from earth. Others believed the dove carried the souls to the heavens.

Gypsy folklore believe that doves are messengers of love, linking our hearts to the spirit world.

Mourning doves represent peace and safety. However, a pair of these doves, in literature, presents a picture of devotion, love, and friendship.

The mourning doves are said to encourage healing, after one lets go of emotional baggage. They represent forgiveness, release, peace, and finally moving on, or forward.


Firefly has also been sparkling joy to me... and asked me to look her up a bunch of times lately and I'm finally listening...and it's beautiful!

Firefly Symbolism & Meaning

A tiny little light dances on the moor. That light is what makes the Firefly so delightful and rich in symbolism. The key focus of Firefly Spirit is one of wonder and illumination. Amidst the darkness, she glows with steady hope and joy.

In daylight, you might not even recognize the Firefly; they are rather bland superficially. But as we know that exterior appearance is a ruse. It’s what’s on the inside that counts. Truly in this case what you see is NOT what you get. Don’t be fooled by external appearances. The true gems in our lives are only uncovered by really digging.

In natural settings, Firefly uses light for mating rituals. Scientists tell us that this ceremony is incredibly detailed akin to Morse code. The fly must time light flashes specifically to get the right mate’s attention. In the human world, this aspect of Firefly means choosing our tribes carefully. Additionally, we should thoughtfully reflect about other circles – those at work, at school, etc.

There is no heat in Firefly’s light display. It is, instead, a natural process for them. They expend no excess energy. This is an excellent lesson for those who are workaholics and others who simply never stop and breathe. It is essential to monitor your energy and resources for success in your endeavors. As the saying goes, “Waste not; want not.”

Perhaps the most important message Firefly bears is that of simplicity. Not everything in life has to be complicated. Creatively begin simplifying your life. If you take care of the small things, very often the big stuff takes care of itself. Simplicity makes our soul lighter and optimistic.

Really, Firefly spirit is filled to overflowing with positive symbolism and meanings. She reminds us daily that a loving heart and clear mind mean far more than tiny flaws. Too many people define themselves by shortcomings rather than their unique aptitudes.

By extension, this means that we must live mindfully and remain aware of details. Persistence and precision are excellent tools in life. Make a good plan and stick to it. Keep it lean, trim and focused for maximum efficiency.

Light Workers tell us that Firefly spirit has a strong ecological connection. It’s all but impossible not to feel awed by Mother Nature while watching a field of Fireflies. That sense of awe and sacredness should be with us in every step we take. Remain aware of the Earth and how you use it. Honor natural rhythms. Refuse to accept complacency.

Firefly also represents the wonders of childhood and the magic in all things. Through the eyes of a child, nothing is more fairy-like than the Firefly. It is as beautiful as the daisy and as grand as the stars. Revel in that nostalgic sense, remembering the innocence with which we viewed our lives while young. When you truly believe, all things are possible.
