Drumming a New Song: An Angel Message

This BIG beautiful pileated woodpecker sang out at lunch time yesterday, heralding an unusual call. I wasn't sure what bird song until  his expansive wings flew over the fence and he landed on the old orange tree.  I stopped eating lunch to run for my phone. 

He was busy doing the woodpecker drill, hammering the old tree trunk. I thanked him for being messenger and he soon flew away in the sunshine.

 But the show was not over.  A half dozen smaller red headed woodpeckers glided over the garden and joined us for lunch at the birdfeeder.  One by one they dropped down from the trees to grab a seed or two.

Woodpeckers were significant and so I did some research. One of the signals of the pileated woodpecker is to follow your own unique rhythm.  Be wary of others trying to nudge you into a rhythm that is not comfortable for you.  It's time to trust your own instincts even if you do not quite understand them.  Do what works in the manner best for you as the foundation is there.  Take your thoughts and give them action.  It is safe for you to do so.

Take flight and keep praying for guidance.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

The Woodpecker: An Angel Message

    (Woody across the street on 9-18-15)

This morning Elliot and I were surprised by a loud distinct whistle coming from across the street.  We had just stepped out the front door on our way to the lake.  With the zoom, I saw this red-headed beauty topping our neighbor's old lifeless tree.   The "call for a photo op" from this winged one seemed so deliberate that I looked up the symbolism of the woodpecker again.  The red crest reflects a stimulation, an awakening of new mental faculties.  The drumming indicates the power of rhythm and a need to follow our own unique "calling".  When a woodpecker shows up, you now have a solid foundation to move in any direction. 

 
In Angel Messages - The Oracle of the Birds, Claire Nahmad writes:  "Trees especially the fig tree, are emblems of the Goddess, and when the woodpecker comes to you, Divine Mother holds you in her embrace of love and wisdom, and gently soothes and nurtures your soul bringing healing balm to your wounds, whether sustained from life's stony path, or from the process of growth and putting forth."

Thank you, Woody.  If you're reading this now, the message applies to you, too.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.  All is well.

Love and joyful blessings,
