Blue Jay Feather Syncronicities

DISCLAIMER: Due to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act created by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services, which basically says possession of feathers from any migratory bird is illegal, I do not have in my possession any of the feathers mentioned in this blog post, nor do I sell, distribute or condone the harvesting of any migratory bird feathers of any kind, wild or otherwise.

So there it was, just sitting on the sidewalk, when I was taking out the garbage- this small bright, iridescent blue jay feather.  I smiled as I marveled at its brillance.



Now, jump back to Wednesday evening and the Psychic & Spiritual Development circle I was leading.  I asked the participants that evening if they had been experiencing any syncronicities from spirit as of late (we have several regulars who have been dropping in frequently).  I was curious to know if their spiritual worlds were opening for them during the weekdays between our class.  After various people shared their tidbits I encouraged the group to watch in the coming week for a syncronistic sign from spirit so they could share it at our next class session. 

When class was over and we were wrapping things up in the waiting area of the office, my co-facilitator/friend noticed a brilliant blue jay feather sitting on the porch entry way to the building.  She hadn't remembered it being there at the start of class but we all remarked how beautiful it was.

Now, fast forward to today when I was taking out the trash... my syncronistic moment just happened- two beautiful feathers in three days, from the same kind of bird no less.

The meaning of blue jays in shamanistic terms:

*Pay attention to nonverbal cues of the people around you.
*Choose a spiritual path and go as far down it as you can.
*If fear presents itself, attack it head on with courage.
*Asses your talents and make a plan to use them fully.
*Choose a couple of the many projects on your plate and complete them.

Yep, that all fits my life right about now.  What about you?  What signs from spirit are you receiving?

  1. What a beautiful feather!

    I'm not aware of any signs for myself...hmmmmm... my son finds coins every time we go into town :)

  2. In shamanistic terms your son is a very prosperous boy! May he carry this gift into his adult years! The coins are a metaphor for prosperity- not always monetary but wealthy in life! :)

  3. Hi Laura,
    I read your post last night and thought, "wow, so cool!" as I also saw the Blue Jay's feather that night. Then, this morning when I was driving to my gym, I had a glimpse of a Blue Jay flying in someone's yard!!! I was so excited that I, too, got to experience the synchronicity...

    Thanks for posting your story b/c i wouldn't have paid much attention this morning.

  5. Hello,

    I found your blog after searching for the symbolism of blue jays. I moved into a new home and it is absolutely covered by these beautiful blue jays. I watch them fly everywhere, they land on my roof, my power lines, my backyard.

    Today I found three blue jay feathers next to my mail box. I felt this was a powerful message.

    Do you have any thoughts on this?

  6. Greetings Blueeyesflash,

    I'm glad you found my blog, welcome! Two things come to mind about your finding the bluejay feathers:

    1. The word blue is in your screen name and the feathers are of the same name. In our chakra system blue relates to the throat center and being able to speak our truth.

    2. The number three has powerful mystical meanings; you may have divine beings such as angels near, wanting to connect with you, or they have a message for you. Tune in during meditation and see what comes through for you.

    Namaste.

  7. Hi Divine Lotus!
    I came across your wonderful blog while searching for finding out what a Blue Jay feather means, since I feed the Blue Jay's in my yard and the Blue Jays and I have this connection but have never found a feather and yesterday there it was and I picked it up and smiled to the heavens and thanked them.
    I believe there are messages sent to us all the time but its connecting to the message.
    Everyday, I find coins on the ground and lately its been a dime and a penny and wonder what the number 11 means?
    I thank you so much Divine Lotus for your soothing, wonderful blog!
    Your words and energy come through and I am so happy that I have found you!

  8. Hi Tami- so glad you found my blog! :) The number 11 is a very powerful number in symbology: it represents the divine and a spiritual awakening.

    Thanks for stopping by! Namaste.

  9. hi,
    There are lots of synchronistic things happening right now...in fact today I was hiking at Indian Wells State Park and I was gifted with finding a blue jay feather and a 14k gold Claddagh ring with a Blue Sapphire within a short distance of each other...

    Love the symbolism of todays gifts :)
    I looked up the meaning of the Claddagh ring and Blue Sapphire and thanks to your blog, the Blue Jay feather..

    if you wish, check out my video on why I give away Black Tourmalines to see who I am, and what I love to do in my Spiritual journey at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72y-dAiuqsc

    Namasté

    I have to leave you a little note thanking you for this post and to share how it is being helpful: I currently need the services of another healer whose site I looked at and my first thought was that I could not afford her. Other signs are pressing, though--her symbol is the hawk, and hawks have been pestering us all winter. The most recent thing Hawk did was retaliate against a bluejay gang in our yard, resulting in leaving three perfect bluejay feathers on our front walk. I Googled to find out what this may mean in conjunction with the symbolism connected to her, and I think the message may be that I should use my talents to offer trade services to work with her. We'll see how it works out but I was just too amused, especially after reading one of your answers to a reader about three feathers! There are other factors involved that all add into one giant hint cluebat upside the head...I love how the universe works sometimes. :D

  14. Stormlotus- I'm glad to hear that you knew it was a sign in your life large enough to research. I hope things work out for you and working with the other healer, keep us posted!
    Namaste.
