Our kookaburra friends

"Kookaburra" - by indigenous artist Brendon Murray

Australia: Some home-grown kookaburra tales

This is my latest on HubPages about a dear feathered friend. Actually, I enjoy the visits of the kookaburra we call Scruff, but my partner has a very close spiritual connection with him.

According to Animal Dreaming

Laughing Kookaburra tells us to take responsibility for our own healing and to stop the pretence. Silent Kookaburra guarantees that healing has been initiated and is set to be effectual.

According to Shamanism - Working with Animal spirits -

Kingfisher/kookaburra's wisdom includes:
* Connection to peaceful seas
* Happiness and love
* Peace
* Indifference to surroundings
* Clear vision through emotional waters
* Ability to dive (focus) into emotional waters and catch ones dreams

According to Temple of Solace: Soul Food Cafe Constellation

* The presence of kookaburra in a reading (or in your observations) indicates that it is a time of signals and omens. Kookaburra is a strong, bold energy which tends to resonate with god energies. Pay attention to opportunities around you, and listen to nature and to the world around you, you may find that you are being given some important messages at this time.

* Kookaburra is the energy of conquering fears and in turn, ending old patterns that aren’t nourishing. If there is a particular habit that you’re not happy with, working with kookaburra energy can help to dissolve it.

* Kookaburra helps you to hunt down your truths, and these truths enable you to recognize your own inner strength. In turn, you are able to teach your truths to others, and also aid others in finding and recognizing their own truths. You may find yourself teaching others in an informal setting, by sharing your passions and your beliefs with others.

(N.B. This blog is a delightful, spiritual space beaming out from Melbourne. I travelled seeking "a kookaburra" for my dearest love and found so much more. I will be visiting again to light another candle!)
