DAILY SPIRIT ANIMAL
BLUE HERON SPIRIT | WORK HARD TO EARN SELF-REALIZATION

Heron meaning and symbolism include elegance, patience, wisdom, messages, self-possession, transformation, and good fortune.

There are 72 species of herons and they belong to the family of birds called Ardeidae, which also includes egrets and bitterns.¹ Today, these elegant birds live on every continent except Antarctica. So, they appear in the mythology and folklore of many cultures around the world.

With their long, elegant necks and legs, herons are beloved subjects to artists, writers, photographers, and bird enthusiasts alike. As the heron gracefully wades in the water, they remind us of how importance elegance and gentility are in what can be a crude and chaotic world.

The heron is a relatively quiet bird, especially when compared to the boisterous blue jay or singing cardinal. They are also stealthy hunters. In fact, they exhibit the virtue of patience as they quietly hunt along the seashore, in a lagoon, or some other aquatic setting. 

As a symbol of patience, the heron teaches us to have faith that the Universe is working in our favor, even if things aren’t happening as quickly as we like. 

In addition to being patient hunters, herons are omnivores. For example, they’ll eat fish, crabs, frogs, lizards, insects, worms, grasshoppers, baby birds, eggs, and more.² 

This level of adaptability and open-mindedness has led to the heron being a symbol of self-possession. The heron isn’t picky or dissatisfied. In fact, they are far from neurotic. The heron is calm and in command of themselves. They accept things as they are and make situations work for in their favor.

As a symbol of self-possession, the heron is a beautiful example for us humans. No matter what is happening in the outside world, if we can manage our own emotions and reactions, and maintain a level of calm and self-possession, we can influence outcomes.

As an aquatic bird, the heron transcends three elements: water, earth, and air. Thus, they represent our own potential to understand things beyond our immediate environment or worldview. When we have this capacity, we are wise.

We all have the capacity to expand our consciousness and gain wisdom. Of course, this comes from life experience. In addition, we can do so through prayer and meditation.
