Here’s a pair of woodpeckers I found playing on my fence today. In an effort to avoid scaring them away, I shot them through a nickel sized hole in the batik that covers our bedroom window. I found an awesome website on animal totems (scroll to the bottom of the page for the Animal Totem Index). Here’s what it had to say about woodpeckers:
Power of Rhythm
The drumming song of the Woodpecker
is the heartbeat of the Earth.When a Woodpecker totem enters your life,
it indicates that the foundation is there and it is safe to follow through.
It will stimulate new rhythms.
It reflects a wakening of new mental faculties.You may be so wrapped up in mental and spiritual activities
that you’ve neglected the physical.
Listen to your body’s rhythms and sounds and heed what it is telling you.The Woodpecker is sacred to Zeus, God of Thunder,
and the oracle of Mars (Ares), God of War.
Shamans can ride the drumbeats of the Woodpecker’s rhythm
into another dimension, space and time.Happy Litha everybody!!!
