Resurrection and Watchfulness

The Peacock has many legends
surrounding its beautiful plumage.
Greek mythology tells of Hera
giving the peacock its many "eyes"
while Chinese mythos says that
the blending of the five colors of its feathers
is the sweet harmony of sound.

 
The Peacock is also associated with the Phoenix.

In Egypt, the Peacock is linked
to the Sun God Ra and in Christianity,
the Peacock
is the symbol of death and resurrection

Those who have a Peacock as a totem can receive insight into
their past lives and their karmic connection to their current life.
The study and use of foot reflexology would also be beneficial
as the feet are very pronounced in the Peacock.

The Peacock loud and raucous call, almost like laughter,
reminds us to laugh at life.

The peacock spirit animal is the epitome of beauty. This graceful power animal offers lessons about self-love, honor, integrity and the importance of facing life’s challenges as well as the unknown with courage and confidence. When the peacock struts gracefully into your life you may be entering a time of rebirth.

Individuals whose power animal is the peacock possess a firm connection between the past and present and recognize its effect on the future. They readily see the importance of integrity and honor. Confident in all they do, those with a peacock totem also recognize the need for light-heartedness and laughter.

My mom told me there was a peacock in the front yard this morning. Sure enough, one of the peacocks from the neighboring bayou was displaced and ended up in our neighborhood. Happy Easter Everyone.

Peacock Symbolism & Meaning
So, the Proud Peacock has gotten your attention? You are not alone. Throughout the world’s history, Peacock symbolism and meaning have often been tied to the beauty of its feathers. Peacocks tie to various Gods and Goddesses as well as glorious myths.

Peacock Etymology: Peacock comes from the Old English pawa meaning cock or hen.

In Hinduism, Peacock walks with Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune, compassion, and fortitude. It is also associated with Hindra, a thunder and rain god whose waters renew the Earth. Peacocks are harbingers of rain – they dance when they know it’s coming. In this part of the world, Peacock also symbolizes supportiveness.

In the Far East, Kuan Yin created the beauty of the Peacock’s tail. Kuan Yin gave up immortality for humankind, endowing the Peacock with a sense of selflessness. When Kuan Yin finally ascended, she created the Peacock to guard the earth and protect the peace.

Ancient Greeks and Romans likened the Peacock Tail to the eyes of stars. The bird was sacred to Hera, and there was a severe punishment given to anyone who took a Peacock’s life. Persians have carvings of Peacocks near royal chambers, considering them guardians. Alchemists used the Peacock as an earthly form of the Phoenix and resurrection. In the form of a talisman, Peacock safeguards the wearer from poison, illness, and misfortune. By extension, Peacock feathers represent immortality. The feather absorbs harmful energy.

Peacock symbolism and meaning come up in Christianity as representing the Resurrection; this comes from the fact that after Peacock molts, his feathers grow back to their original grandeur. St. Augustine took this one step further, saying the bird was incorruptible, most likely based on the folk belief that Peacock feathers protect things from deterioration. Peacocks feature predominantly in medieval portraits of angels where the wings are Peacock feathers; this implies that Peacock has associations with the Angelic realm and may actually be a messenger from on high.

In nature, Peacocks kill and eat snakes. As a result, various cultures integrated Peacocks into medicine. Indian directions advise that blood or bile from Peacocks could cure a snake bite. Similarly, in Punjab, a person bitten by a snake would be purged by the smoke of Peacock feathers, similar to how Native Americans use smudge sticks. When visitors came into the region, natives would tell them to carry Peacock feathers to ward off snake attacks. Similarly, among Hindus and Muslims, a Peacock feather protects against malevolent spirits. In this, the Peacock becomes infused with healing and protective energies.
