Hello, welcome back and happy new year. Its been a very busy last few weeks but I have managed to find a few moments to put a few words down. I had a visit this morning to our wet soggy garden and my visitor a wonderful green woodpecker also known as the Green Yaffle Bird.
Yaffle is the 'Olde English' word for the Green Woodpecker or Picus Viridus. The Green Yaffle is an ancient symbol of prosperity and knowledge. Stretching back to the first cities of ancient Babylon, the bird has appeared as a Divine messenger, giving knowledge to humans, often of the future, and being associated with the blessings of good fortune from the heavens. From the oldest of Greek myths to the widespread folk tales from across Europe, these same themes appear again and again. The bird is also associated with being able to unlock all locks and open all doors. Further investigations into the symbolic meanings of a woodpecker also suggest it may be a sign to :
Fly back to our roots.
Nurture our ideas in the womb of our core passions.
Use our heads (intellect) to think up innovative solutions to overcome barriers.
Communicate our ideas in more creative or non-traditional ways.
Stop and consider the opportunities available to us at this time.
Look at projects in unique creative ways to bring new life to a project.
Listen more clearly to subtle energies, there is a message that only our intuition can interpret.
So I'm taking this little visit from my feathered friend as an omen or a good prosperous year, full of creativity, prosperity and blessings.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2012....let the fun begin.
