Animal Guidance Series: Squirrel Medicine

This episode of our animal symbolism, folklore and characteristics of animal series, A - Z, highlights the squirrel, a small to medium size rodent, found all over the world. In over 280 species. They are highly adaptable and the ground squirrel, flying squirrel and tree squirrels are the most common types. All in all, squirrels symbolize resourcefulness, preparedness, sociability, problem solving abilities, relationship building, balance and learning new skills. The squirrel is an inquisitive and clever problem solver demonstrating ingenuity and determination in finding solutions. Their presence can encourage you to look at life's challenges in a new way. They are enthusiastically bursting with energy squirreling around scurrying around preparing their nests. Squirrels can teach us preparedness. They communicate with chatter and a flick of their tail, often playing and working well with others. 

The squirrel is a reminder to approach life with wisdom and make wise choices. Plan ahead and navigate life's challenges with grace and foresight. So, call in squirrel medicine into your life, call in the squirrel spirit for a more fulfilling world. “Call IT in With Dar!”
