When it comes time to unfold your wings and go for something important, Turkey can be a great Animal Ally! I say “take on” because I believe all souls choose their path/mission/soul contract before incarnating into this reality (Earth).Īnother spiritual meaning of Turkey is that your life can be BIG! Turkey has a six foot wingspan making it the largest bird in the forest. Only the most courageous and wise souls would take on being an emissary for such a “life and death” element. Fire is the Element of passion, creativity, and the power of destruction/transformation. The Fire Element adds a whole new dimension to Turkey symbolism and meaning. And, so, Turkey represents Autumn/Fall, the season of the Fire Element! Nourishing our mind, body, and spirit Turkey symbolizes harvest and abundance. That’s why Turkeys today have such long, skinny necks and speak by gobbling.īecause of these stories (and others) as well as thousands of years of humans using Turkeys for food, clothing (feathers), and making tools (bones) Turkey’s symbolism and meaning ties in heavily with that of the Earth Mother. Turkey had to stretch its neck so far to keep from drowning it ripped its vocal cords. That’s when everyone noticed how long Turkey’s neck had become. When Turkey tried to answer a strange sound came from its throat. When the people saw how wrong they had been about Turkey, the heroic bird had almost died trying to save the world’s food supply they begged for forgiveness. The vegetable and flower seeds and pods cascaded from under Turkey’s feathers. With what little energy it still had Turkey stumbled to a standing position and shook its feathers. The people surrounded Turkey still accusing it of only being out for number one instead of pitching in as the rest of them had. Finally, exhausted and covered with mud and debris Turkey made it to the top. Turkey kept on swimming as hard and fast as it could, craning its neck farther and farther to stay above the water.
They yelled at the bird that it only cared about saving itself and was so selfish it deserved to die. The people who saw Turkey thought it wasn’t carrying anything. The waters caught up to it and Turkey began to drown. But carrying so many seeds had weighed Turkey down and it couldn’t run fast. Nobody saw that Turkey also stashed hundreds of vegetable and flower seeds and pods within its feathers – wisely knowing all vegetation would need to be replanted so the world could eat. Turkey helped everyone get on their way to safety and was the very last creature to flee.
Each tried to carry something the world would need when the flood subsided. When a great flood threatened to destroy the earth came, all the four legged and two legged peoples ran to the highest ground. Once upon a time Turkeys could talk just like humans.
