Description
This is at my special place in Port Orange, Florida where the Herons nest. There are still a few there nesting.
********************
Heron links two worlds: the waters of life�the Unconscious, and the air�the realm of the conscious mind. He feeds on fishes, which symbolize the treasures of the Unconscious mind: spiritual nourishment for the Seeker. Yet he is also a creature of the Earth, so he is a grounding influence for people who spend too much time in their minds and who are called to �fish� in the waters of the unconscious.
********************
The legs of Heron are long to �stand� the deep waters of the Unconscious: the Waters of Lethe bring sleepiness and unconsciousness if one is not awake, aware and wary. Heron is a solitary fisher; if you call upon Heron to be your own totem, you must be able to stand alone as you seek, for there is no one to call on should you step into too-deep waters.
********************
Heron�s strength for those of us who spend too much time �in our minds� is that he brings one down to Earth. With Heron as your guide, he will bring you to ground to explore life here in the physical instead of just daydreaming or losing oneself in one�s imagination or dreams. Ted Andrews Animal Speaks.
