Communication


Animal symbolism of the Wasp

I came upstairs to my bedroom and was pottering around, and became aware of a buzzing in the background. Eventually I looked up...and found a wasp kissing the ceiling as it moved around.

A wasp! What the heck was it doing in the room?

Animal symbolism of the wasp deals with:
  • order
  • construction
  • communication
  • involvement
  • development
  • progress
  • team-work
  • productivity



The wasp is very social, and has special means of communication with its family. When the wasp appears in our lives it is a message for us to consider our own methods of communication. The wasp might be a sign that we may need to express ourselves more clearly.
 
Because the wasp is symbolic of communication, order and productivity, those who encounter the wasp may ask themselves:
  • "Are all my affairs in order?"
  • "Am I aligning myself with my goals?"
  • "Am I procrastinating about something?"
  • "Am I keeping myself from reaching my highest potential?"
  • "Am I allowing my progress to be held back by others?"
Wasps are perfect totems for those of us who need a bit of organized focus, and assistance with assertive communication.

The wasp can also help in areas of building, whether it be a new home, or building on a dream - the wasp is a master architect and can guide you with the planning of any building project you have in mind.

This is so funny, as on Wednesday I was cleaning out a cupboard and found a huge bottle of Hydrangea essence which helps with focus and clarity. My writing area is surrounded by hydrangea bushes :-) Seems I need all the help I can get!

I obviously need to brush up on my communication skills and building my dream. Ya think it might be alluding to my website and new home?

  1. Interesting! I didn't know the meanings of wasp. So what do you think the deal is with the black wasp who showed up in my car a couple of days ago? Does his color black hold meaning for his visit? As a kid, I used to have nightmares about being chased and stung by bees and have actually had them fly down my clothes and sting me when I was young. I don't mind insects and usually put them outside or move them, but bees, ummm, I have to stop myself from fleeing!
    I am getting all kinds of insect visits in my car lately as you probably know....I figure the elementals are greeting me.

  2. :-) Yes they are greeting you! Most insects, etc. have an elemental with them.

    I don't believe there is meaning to the colour of the wasp - didn't know there were black wasps.

    I try not to get worried about them crawling over me. I understand that I am being taught to centre my energy. If I don't...they will react to it. I've often come out of a deep meditation to find a few 'somethings' crawling over me. It ain't easy stopping that automatic reflex of the body...

    And so the lessons go on...
