The White Ibis is a native Australian bird (Threskiornis molucca). A wetland bird has been pushed into urban areas due to habitat deterioration. Often referred to as the bin chicken in Australia. In a loving way of course. But it is demeaning and disrespectful to a glorious unique water bird. Much like the Aboriginal people it has been driven from its home and disrespected. They are known to hang in large groups and forage together.
Australian White Ibis Spiritual Meaning
The Australian white ibis sends a message as old as time. Respect all living things. Love and beauty are always subject to the eyes of the beholder. But this is only a first reaction to what the eye sees. If we spend some time admiring the uniqueness of something. Unbiased and without negativity.
We soon start to see its beauty unfolding in front of us. This opens us to the rest of the picture of who and what we are looking at. We then start to see the spiritual qualities and mystery of the physical form in its many manifestations. Beauty may be found in all places.
Ibis Symbolic Meaning
The Ibis sends a pearl of spiritual wisdom, one of hope, gratitude, love knowledge and acceptance. Sharing the recipe for peace. Learn to love and accept your fellow man, no matter how different they may seem on the outside. A survivalist spirit with immortal qualities, ibis is a leader.
If you study the bird the Australian white Ibis enough you’ll start noticing something intriguingly beautiful. When the sun hits the outside of the Ibis’ black wings they reflect an iridescent purple colour array. Symbolizing compassion, empathy and the ability to ignite a fruitful spark of imagination in others.
Ibis Totem Animal
For those who call upon the sacred white ibis as an animal totem. Ibis will encourage you to do the best you can, with what you have around you. Sharing the ability of vision, stateliness, spiritual and earthly communication and balance.
Learning to work with both polarities, male and female is part of the balance Ibis teaches. Embracing your feminine side if male, and embracing your masculine side if female. Eventually understanding and creating a harmonic balance between the two. Leads to neutral wisdom. © Psychic Medium Ian Scott
