Animal Totem is Woodpecker: When I
hear the woodpecker knocking, I think of opportunity. You know the old
saying "when opportunity knocks, answer the door." That's precisely
what I'm driving at here.
Woodpeckers are extremely
opportunistic themselves. Each tree is a door, revealing tender morsels
of food (grubs and ants are their favorites). Other trees will yield against
their beak-hammering to provide great mansions for their young.
Symbolic
Meanings of the Woodpecker :Balance, Progress, Signaling, Returning,
- Protection, Initiation, Attention, Prophesy, Listening, Opportunity, Discernment
- Communication, Determination
When the woodpecker comes tapping
into our awareness, it's also a signal to use our heads. Just as the woodpecker
uses its head (beak) to hammer out solutions (food, shelter), we too can use
our intellect in finding solutions to our own barriers.
The symbolic meaning of woodpeckers
also point to a need for creative vision. Being opportunistic, woodpeckers can
see value everywhere, even in dead trees. Have you ditched an idea or given up
on a project? The woodpecker may be trying to tell you to breathe new life into
your project, just as they build new homes into dead trees.
Further, the symbolic meaning of
woodpecker indicates a return to our roots, or having trust in our basic (gut)
feelings. Dr. Carl Jung observed the woodpecker as a symbol of a return to
the womb of creativity. In this observation the tree is symbolic of a womb;
earthy, grounded, sturdy and secure. The woodpecker's home within the tree is
analogous of a fierce determination to return and protect that which is sacred
to us.
