This morning when I woke up, I saw a female cardinal on the deck. She appeared just as I rose, and flitted about there for several minutes, obviously as a messenger spirit for me. They say that if you see a cardinal, it is a loved one in spirit visiting you, and since this was a female, I knew right away that it was my mother.
Cardinals as totem animals are also associated with natural energy, love, and helpfulness, and are a symbol of hope. They are symbolic of the air element, and represent focus and higher thinking.
The cardinal is also in tune with the number twelve because they do not practice seasonal cycles but rather brave the elements year-round. Their dedication to withstanding the changing seasons demonstrates their ability to renew themselves without changing their environment, showing their vitality and well-roundedness. (wow).
The cardinal totem appears when our sense of pride has been thrown off balance. The cardinal reminds us to hold ourselves with pride - noble and graceful, not egocentric in nature. The cardinal calls upon us to channel our inner regality, holding our heads high regardless of circumstances, and always exuding humble confidence.
The cardinal spirit animal is a reminder that you always have the opportunity to realize the importance of your purpose in life, and it points you to find your life song, and to create new ways to love your life and to show your gratitude for it. It represents the inner beauty that you possess that will only come forth during the challenging seasons of your life. The cardinal also represents renewal. You will experience many beginnings and endings in your life, and you should take these opportunities to make yourself a better person. The cardinal is a spiritual messenger that makes us aware of the importance of having a spiritual connection. What a beautiful message to wake to on this glorious morning.
