Use the following symbolism guide to get you started. This basic and abbreviated information helps get you started or may confirm and validate what you were already thinking. Additional blog posts that are more thorough are available in our blog as well.
If you are working on interpreting signs and messages from our TikTok, as always, be sure to trust your intuition as you work on developing this further.
LAND FORMATIONS, NATURE ASPECTS, AND SCENERY
TREES: stages of life, aspirations, growth, strength, prosperity. *Keep in mind that specific kinds of trees have specific meanings as well. A reference for interpreting symbolism for common trees, flowers, animals, and numbers is available in the book, Through the Blue Door.
FLOWERS: growth, cycles, transformation, abundance. *See Trees above.
MOUNTAINS: something big or important in life, greater awareness, an obstacle or struggles, isolation.
WATER: emotions, movement of life, current state of things.
SAND: time, fragments of a whole, impermanence, relaxation, void of water (emotion).
SKY/HORIZON: future outlook (possibility, caution/warning).
ROCKS: obstacles, steppingstones, levels/stages.
PATHS: direction, journey, choices.
ANIMALS: (in general)
Birds (in general): freedom, movement, progress.
**It is best to consider specific animals more precisely as each has important messages or lessons they carry to teach us. See TREES.
MANMADE ASPECTS
STRUCTURES: oneself (especially if a house), protection, security, defenses, community.
BRIDGES/ARCHES: important decisions, transitions, new opportunities, support, a compromise.
OBJECTS: Assess what the object is used for or useful for. It may point out symbolically something that is needed or would be helpful or conversely, something that is a hindrance or blockage. Sometimes where, why, or how the object is used may be significant.
COLORS:
BLUES; emotions, communication, clarity; or confusion (a dark blue resulting from being mixed with brown)
GREENS: growth, hope, prosperity, acceptance; or jealousy (olive/army green).
YELLOWS: joy, optimism; or sarcasm (mustard yellow).
REDS: passion, energy, courage; anger or aggression (reds mixed with brown)
BROWNS: earthiness, practicality, or subjectiveness
WHITE Shades: faith, awareness, peace, purity
GRAYS: fears, ambivalence
BLACK Shades: concentration, mystery; or guilt, resentment
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
There are other less obvious element to symbolism that may have an affect on the whole or true message. If any of these things stand out in a particular situation, think about what it might mean. How it influences or ties into other prominent symbolism, may make a difference. As there are a multitude of possibilities, only a few examples are given.
TEXTURES: Smooth (easy or boring). Rough (welcome challenge or hinderance). Soft (flexible or unstable).
SHADOWS or NIGHT: Something hidden or unknown. Uncertainty. Not meant to be seen yet. (Or the information hasn’t been presented to you yet).
LINES & SHAPES: What is taking shape. Circles (coming full circle, continuity, infinity, or conversely, a repeating pattern). Squares (foundation, stability, practicality, or rigidness). Triangles (the strongest, trinity, mind/body/spirit balance). Lines (direction, stages, or patterns).
SEASONS: timing or symbolism tied to that time of year. Spring awakening and renewal. Autumn harvesting, abundance, and transition. Winter hibernation, waiting and dormancy. Summer fulfillment and work put toward creating abundance.
TEMPERATURE/WEATHER: comfortable or uncomfortable, gloomy or hopeful, calm or stormy, etc. (Keep in mind that your personal preferences and impressions are more important than a standard meaning. Everyone has their favorite seasons and weather).
PATTERNS: consider uniformity, parallels, groupings (numbers), randomness, quantities
PEOPLE: consider generalities of how they appear, such as an individual, or a pair/couple, or a large group. Do they represent you or someone in your personal circle? To figure that out, consider other things that may stand out, such as actions (what they are doing), age (elderly vs. a child; older than you or younger than you), etc.
COMPARISONS
STILLNESS vs. MOVEMENT: progress or standstill, on track or delay.
MAN-MADE vs. NATURAL: intrinsic or controlled (forced), occurring naturally or (needing to be) created.
DARK vs. LIGHT: clear vs. unseen, unknown vs. known, awareness vs. resistance
