(excerpts taken from Avenefica written on October 8th, 2007)
Egypt: the Heron is honored as the creator of light.
China: the Heron represents strength, purity, patience and long life.
Africa: the Heron was thought to communicate with the Gods.
Native Americans: the heron’s inquisitiveness, curiosity and determination set the heron as a symbol of wisdom in that this creature seemed to have good judgement skills.
The Iroquois thought the blue heron to be a very good omen, a lucky sign.
As a water creature the heron is also a symbol of going with the flow, and working with the elements of Mother nature rather than struggling against her.
