Spirit Animal - Blue Jay

 

The Blue Jay has long been associated in North America with the calling of a Shaman.  In fact, in some legends, the Shaman takes on the shape shifting ability to become the Blue Jay.  Blue Jay’s colors are interesting.  Blue is the colour of truth, of the higher chakras.  White represents the highest connection to self.  And, black, the original color of the base chakra, is now recognized as the grounding color.  Two Blue Jays came to eat at our bird feeder and then stayed to “chat”. 

Some of the interesting things to come out of the conversation were:

1. Truth is only truth at Nature’s level.  Humans do not have any concept of truth because they do not follow natural principles.

2.  Feeding wild life is a good thing to do because humans have taken so much of the “wild” away from animals.  This is why animals are dying or moving into human territory.

3.  Fear has a smell to it.  We animals smell it all the time because the smell is every where.  Humans seem to now live in fear.  Perhaps it is because they have lost their connection to the Earth.
