184 – Animal Omens – Moths, Butterflies and Slugs.

This series discusses animal omens. Many humans tend to kill what they consider to be unwanted intruders, such as spiders and the like, when they come into their home, but I would suggest thinking carefully before doing that. They may be there to give a message to you. I’ve had quite a few such omens appear in my life. This entry I’ll talk about my experiences with moths, butterflies and slugs.

(Yes, I am aware that I may be using the word ‘animal’ incorrectly here, and for that I apologize. However, in these cases, I’m using it generically, even if it will be technically wrong.)

Animal Omens: Spiders

Many humans tend to kill what they consider to be unwanted intruders, such as spiders and the like, when they come into their home, but I would suggest thinking carefully before doing that. They may be there to give a message to you. I’ve had quite a few such omens appear in my life. This entry I’ll talk about my experiences with spiders.

Over the decades I’ve noticed, more and more, that when I encounter insects, arachnids, or mammals, they are generally a harbinger of something that is coming.
