Hello Hawk! I noticed on your Animal Wisdom board you posted meanings of birds but I didn't see anything about Cardinals. I have a question for you, but I'll start with my story behind it.
My great grandmother had a lot of Native american blood in her. Her grandmother was a full-blooded squaw. That part of my family is from eastern Kentucky, so we haven't figured out which tribe.
My grandmother has told me my whole life that my great grandmother would cry every time she saw me and had a picture of me over her bed from the time I was born until she died in the early 90's. She would always talk about how precious and special I was...keep in mind she has a lot of other great grandchildren, so I wasn't the only one.
Her favorite bird was a cardinal. She had figurines of cardinals all over her house.
Since I have moved out on my own when I was 18, every where I have lived there has been a tree outside of a window and there is always a cardinal. If I am out driving or even taking an outside break at work I see cardinals. They are Kentucky's state bird but most people don't see them very often.
The week she died, she told my cousin that "Indians never die, we just fade away."
I never understood that...
Other than the love of a great-grandmother, I have never figured out why she thought I was so special and would cry over me. And why I see cardinals so much more than other people.
Any insight? It would be greatly appreciated!
