Guidance
I am the Ibis. I am a bird of many secrets. If you have drawn me, then some of these secrets may soon be revealed to you. I am the final bird who stands at the end of the world. When you complete your evolution here on earth, there I will be, waiting for you. Work always towards communion. This is the way of the highest beings. Ally yourself with this great vision of unification and communion. What is split apart in your life? Bring it together. What is broken in your life? Repair it. You are charged with a sacred mission. I do not say this lightly. You are to be a voice of the Great One. You must put aside all distractions and tirelessly pursue this higher evolution.
Empty yourself of personal agenda. Dedicate yourself to the Divine. Of all the bird people I have the strictest demands. I come because you are ready for an intensification of your commitment to serve humanity. How will you serve humanity? This is the great question for you. Ask it over and over as you rise each day. How can I best serve humanity this day? When you give selflessly of your heart, of your life energy, to improve the lot of others, then you will receive vast treasures in return. Your life is to be one of higher service.
Speak out with the voice of unity. Let your thoughts, words and actions be pure. Do not allow negativity to get the better of you. Your every word can be charged with the grandeur of God. Be wary of how you think about others. Your thoughts encircle them and either elevate or damage them. You are one day to be a leader of others, one of God’s Chosen. Bow in reverence to this great honour and make this lifetime one of preparation. Lay out the feast table. Prepare the food perfectly. Leave nothing incomplete within your soul. Then you need only wait for the guest to arrive. Contemplate these things and you will understand.
Mythic Influences (Egyptian)
The ibis was the most sacred bird of the Egyptians. It is deeply connected with the God Thoth, the messenger and scribe of the gods. Thoth appeared with an ibis head and because of the distinctive curved beak, was also associated with the crescent moon and magic. The Thoth archetype also has connections with the Roman Hermes and the Celtic Merlin. In hieroglyphs, the ibis appears regularly and indicates an aspect of the soul.
Meaning
As one of the great mythic bird guardians, the ibis symbolises a high spiritual ideal – that of the communion of all beings. People allied to this symbol may be people who are given great power to wield in the world, and as leaders they must learn to work with the highest vision that the ibis represents. This is a symbol that holds a vision of a future humanity in which people work together without a need for control, fear or greed. The ibis is a role model symbol, and those who work with it must demonstrate their ability to let go of their own power and thus empower others, spiritually and materially.
Contemplation
As you move deeper into contemplation, and as it moves deeper into you, it has the wonderful effect of clearing your mind, as though you had just wiped a grubby windowpane with a warm soapy cloth. Such clarity is genuinely rare in our modern world. As it deepens you will become deeply respected by others, since a person who can see through the miasmas of the mind is someone who can help anyone in almost any situation imaginable.
