Looking at the Spiritual WAY OF the black Bird ... Symbolic Black Bird Meanings Birds robed in black do not give up their secrets easily. They love to watch us marvel over their messages. Black birds demand our commitment to learning their wisdom, and do not reveal their meanings unless they are convinced weve devoted ourselves completely to the path of understanding (both dark and light sides of) energy. This concept correlates to lunar themes too. The symbolic meaning of blackbirds is eternally linked to the dark vs light phases of the moon. Im talking nocturnal awareness. Illumined lunar understanding which requires a different use of the senses. Sense which can only be utilized when transformative devotion is made. A commitment to higher knowing (flight) and an acceptance of the void (infinite vastness that eludes the ego and rational mind). This is a fundamental concept of alchemy which is: Transition and Transformation. The bird is symbolic of life in the heavens (higher ideals, higher path of knowing) and the colour black is symbolic of pure potential. Between the two, there is no limit to human transformation - all we have to do is close the shutters of the rational mind, and start sojourning with our darkly feathered friends. Black birds (in general) are archetypes of living life in higher realms, and are symbolic of: Higher Intelligence Higher Thought Higher Ideals This is because birds are (metaphorically and myth logically speaking), situated in proximity to the higher energies of the Universe. This also positions them as heavenly or divine oracles and messengers in cultural myths across the globe. Blackbirds and birds of black or dark colours are special among their airy clan as they are the symbolic of: Mystery Magic Secrets The Unknown Pure Potential Non-obvious Perception Through consistent unveiling of your inner depths, (as our coal-black avian friends would have us do) positive/active utilization of these inner impulses the esoteric secrets become exposed to the light of your own consciousness. Are these concepts deep? Absolutely. Its the nature of the colour black laid softly against airborne oracles (blackbirds, ravens, crows, etc.). It is no simple mind that summons these onyx beauties. Thankfully, these sky-clad lovelies will never come to a person who is not equipped to read the deeper meanings behind its presence. Better said: If you did not already know the answers, you would have never had the encounter.
