Pigeon
This leisurely and widespread bird is considered a symbol of peace, love and fidelity. Hence the interpretation of the event. If you happen to crush a pigeon, then you should expect discord in the family. Perhaps a crisis period is approaching, or maybe the spouse wants to find happiness on the side. In any case, if such a situation occurs, you need to be more attentive to your soul mate so that the unfavorable meaning does not come true.
The pigeon superstition also has a second meaning. Popular wisdom says that accidentally killing this bird means that some important message will not be received and difficulties will arise because of this.
A pigeon sat on a car
Pigeons regularly stain cars with droppings, scratch the surface with their claws, and leave marks on the hood. Superstitious people associate birds' increased attention to their car with future misfortunes. This is not so far from the truth. The sign has different meanings, depending on a number of features.
What does the color of a bird mean?
The color and condition of the dove matter:
- Snow-white foretells romantic events. If this is a pair of doves, then the romance will be passionate and long-lasting, perhaps it will end in a wedding.
- A black dove may be a symbol of a future illness.
- Gray birds promise the same troubles as black ones. They indicate impending financial losses, losses, illnesses and deaths of loved ones.
A dead bird near or on your car does not bode well. Perhaps the car will get into an accident, so it is better to postpone the trip.
Where exactly did the bird land?
The presence of a bird on the hood indicates an upcoming romantic adventure, a successful date. If 2-3 pigeons are sitting at once, then a meeting with friends or relatives is expected soon, which was not planned, but will bring pleasant emotions. If during a trip a bird crashes into the windshield or falls on the hood, then the driver will soon have an accident.
If a driver finds a dead pigeon on the road, experts in the field of esotericism say that this often becomes a harbinger of the death of relatives or a dangerous disease.
Other pigeon activities
If excrement appears on the car after the presence of a pigeon, then you should not complain about the unceremonious behavior of the bird. This promises profit and a climb up the career ladder.
But most car drivers don't like pigeons:
- A bird's calm walk on the roof of a car should make the driver pay more attention while driving or even postpone the trip. So the messenger of fate says that a meeting with a traffic police officer and a significant fine are expected.
- The dove carefully looks through the window into the interior, trying to inform the owner about the expected success. Perhaps the driver will receive a big discount on gasoline, a promotion is expected at work, or other pleasant moments await.
- If a driver finds a pigeon feather near his car in the morning, he should be careful. This sign can be regarded as a warning about possible difficulties and financial losses. Therefore, you should refrain from rash actions for a while.
Crow
Since ancient times, these bulky birds were considered witchcraft or messengers from the other world. To crush such a representative of evil spirits means to incur the wrath of evil forces. The consequences that folk superstitions promise are quite expected - the death of loved ones, terrible illnesses, an accident. To try to avoid tragedy, you should visit the church and light candles. You need to pray for the health of friends and relatives, and also remember the dead.
What do the doves prophesy?
There are actually a lot of superstitions associated with the birds of the world. They are very diverse and not similar to one another.
Did you know that our ancestors believed that pigeons were messengers from above, and not ordinary birds. Knowing this, it should not be surprising that superstitions associated with pigeons indicate serious and significant changes in life, and it does not matter at all how the pigeon manifests itself.
Martin
Before the rain, these nimble birds fly very close to the ground. It’s no wonder that because of this feature, they often hit car windshields. For a long time, swallows have been revered as harbingers of spring. In addition, they symbolized wealth, happiness and family well-being. Killing a swallow is a terrible omen; at home the driver will face illness of loved ones or, possibly, the death of a pet.
Crashed and disappeared
Most people have formed the opinion that a bird persistently visiting the window is a harbinger of negative events. However, sometimes such a visit indicates the approach of joyful and positive changes, if a pigeon hit the window and disappeared:
- If the bird immediately disappears after a strong blow, then this means the beginning of a new path. After an unexpected visit from the feathered owner, life-changing changes await.
- A dove quietly knocking on the glass and quickly disappearing from sight means receiving news that will cause a storm of positive emotions.
- If a dove crashed into a person, then this indicates that the latter was chosen. It is believed that birds do not touch sick or evil people. The sign may also promise good news about work or a new addition to the family.
- For a lonely lady, meeting a bird is good news - soon the girl will find her happiness. For pregnant women, a visit from a feathered bird predicts an easy birth.
- After the collision, feathers remain - the owner of the apartment will be disappointed by a friend or relative.
- If a bird hits a window at work, then beliefs regard the event as positive. Perhaps the person will receive praise or a bonus. The dove looked dirty or unhealthy - a visit could result in fines or dismissal.
- A bird hit the window and made a mess - a favorable sign prophesying an improvement in financial condition.
Important! If there is a sick person in the home, then the bird’s visit foreshadows his death.
Why do you see an owl according to signs?
Seeing an owl is a sign of bad luck. Superstition dates back to ancient times, when this night bird was considered one of the main assistants of witches and devils, an invariable participant in the Sabbaths.
Here is how a meeting with an owl is usually interpreted:
- on the road - warning of a possible accident;
- dead - to betrayal and problems in your personal life;
- screams, hoots - for money, profit;
- before the wedding - to a long and happy married life.
Signs about an owl can be both good and negative. The value depends on many factors: time of day, accompanying circumstances.
Sat on the fence
If a bird flies to the house and settles on the fence, then this is a good omen, foreshadowing financial well-being, unexpected profits, and career growth. Gifts and return of forgotten debts are possible.
If the night guest hoots or screams, then you can expect wealth, for example, an inheritance or winning the lottery.
The exception is an owl seen near a human dwelling during the daytime, since this is invariably a bad sign.
Near the house or apartment
According to legend, if an owl flies to an apartment or house, this is a warning to the owners. Most often, a bird indicates a possible fire or other household troubles. Therefore, if you encounter an owl near your home, it is better to exercise caution and be careful with fire and electrical appliances.
In addition, the appearance of an owl or owl near your home warns of a high risk of becoming a victim of swindlers or scammers. Having met such a feathered guest, you should be more vigilant and save your money.
Another interpretation of the sign about a flying owl warns of a high probability of an accident or accident.
A screeching owl is a harbinger of a new addition to the family. If seriously ill people live in the house, they will soon recover. However, the cry of a bird three times, on the contrary, promises misfortune.
When you see an eagle owl near your house, you should thank the nocturnal predator, because a warning will help protect you from trouble or prevent it.
In the yard or on the roof
The location of the bird near the house is also important:
- An owl sitting on the roof of a house is a harbinger of material problems and lack of money. A person who sees a bird may face theft, trouble at work, and even dismissal.
- A nocturnal predator sitting in the yard, especially on a tree , means financial profit, a valuable gift.
Before looking for an interpretation of signs about an eagle owl, it is necessary to check whether it has built a nest for itself somewhere near the yard, because in this case all superstitions lose their meaning.
At the cemetery
A bird gliding in the pitch darkness over graves has long evoked a feeling of melancholy, fear, and was considered a messenger from the other world. Therefore, seeing an owl in a cemetery is a bad omen, promising a person various minor troubles. Most of all, this superstition frightened the residents of private houses located near the haven of the dead.
The worst omen is to meet an owl sitting on a grave or church cross. It is believed that the sign prophesies real trouble and even death of the person who meets the bird, or his loved ones.
However, an owl perched on the chapel cross may signify an imminent fire or a change of priest.
Appears outside the window or hits the glass
If an owl flew up to a home and began to scream and bang on the window, it means that it warns the owners of an imminent serious illness or even the death of one of the household members.
If a bird hits the glass and breaks to death, you need to be mentally prepared for the funeral.
When an owl simply flashed outside the window during the night time allotted by nature, then you should not pay any attention to its appearance. A bird looking through glass means the arrival of news and the beginning of changes, which can be both positive and negative.
Why does the owl fly into the house?
According to the sign, a bird that flies into a home brings good news to its owners. The belief has a positive interpretation if people suffering from serious illnesses live in the house. For sick people, the owl predicts recovery in the near future.
For newlyweds or a couple planning a quick wedding, such a night guest promises mutual love for many years, prosperity, and well-being.
The owl flew into the house, but cannot get out of it, desperately rushing around the room - to troubles, unhappiness in the family.
Other signs about owls
Seeing a night huntress promises a lot of interesting things. Our ancestors noticed several interesting facts regarding the mysterious bird.
- For future spouses, seeing a forest dweller means concluding a strong and happy union, full of respect and mutual understanding on both sides.
- Finding a dead bird near the house is a terrible signal of approaching death, especially if before that the unfortunate bird fought long and hard against the window. Such an event indicates the imminent appearance of a deceased person in the house.
- If you found a little owlet on the ground, take it for yourself, raise it and release it into the wild. This will bring good luck and happiness to the home. It is considered a very good sign if an adult pet decides to stay with you forever. We can safely say that you have become the darling of fate, and now no adversity will touch either you or your family.
If over time a pet owl decides to leave its abode, do not try to return it. According to the sign, in this way she protects you from trouble, taking it with her.
Signs associated with the mysterious forest dweller carry both positive and negative messages. If an owl prophesies bad events, you can resort to the advice of our ancestors and neutralize their effect.
- Take a handful of salt and throw it into the fire. This way the fire will consume bad predictions.
- You can protect your home from troubles with a hot poker. Draw a line around the house with it, closing the path to troubles.
- Keepers of the stuffed bird must burn church candles in the corners of the room for seven days. You can replace the ritual by wiping the window sills and doors with water that has been standing in a container with a silver spoon under the moonlight.
And remember, don’t panic because of an unfavorable interpretation of a sign. Perhaps a kind and wise spirit flew in to warn you to be more careful.
If a dove flew out the window
Another bad omen associated with pigeons is if the bird gets into your house. She brings news of the imminent death of a person living in the house with you. Most people take this superstition quite seriously. It is worth noting that if a dove has flown into you, you should not immediately think about the bad and prepare for the worst; this sign has many nuances that are worth paying special attention to.
Look at the dove, or, if it has already flown away, remember what it looked like. If your unexpected guest had something on his beak, for example, a leaf or a blade of grass, this is good news. A dove with grass on its beak promises you changes for the better; very soon a joyful event will happen to you that will change everything for the better.
