Mighty Herons

In Ted Andrews Animal Tarot the Blue Heron is King of the Winged Ones, Assertive, Authority & Counsel. For me, the Blue Heron represents standing in your own, truthful POWER grounded in divine sacred love. According to Andrews, the Blue Heron heralds a time when our advice and counsel is most accurate and well received.

Herons - blue & green are prominent in my life, often posing for my camera. The message I hear is the time has arrived for me to stand in my POWER, released of the insecurities and wounds that prevented my TRUTH from surfacing in the past. Since my father's passing in August, 2009 my life seems full of unexpected twists, turns, challenges and amazing surprises. A roller coaster ride.

The Blue Heron's strong presence is validation I am ready for the next chapter in my life where I will ground new patterns and energetic grids based in TRUTH, INTEGRITY and SACRED HEART LOVE. Recently, I was reminded the new chapter may not be a smooth ride yet I am well equipped for the flow necessary to walk my talk.
