Ladybug, Power Animal, Symbol of Past Lives, Enlightenment

Posted By Ina Woolcott

Ladybug's medicine includes carrying the golden strand that leads to the centre of the universe,
past lives, spiritual enlightenment, death and rebirth, renewal, regeneration, fearlessness, protection,
good luck, wishes being fulfilled, protection.

The ladybug is small and brightly coloured, usually with black, yellow or red markings and belongs to the beetle family.

They are to be found in nearly all climates and latitudes.

The shell on the ladybugs back gives protection from predators, with their wings closing against their body’s to give protection to their soft underside.

With their keen instincts the ladybugs feel vibrations through their legs, allowing them to sense the energy of what they touch, another form of protection.

The ladybugs colouring also warns predators to stay away, and we should follow this example by sending out the same messages to our foes and woes.
Also, like ladybug don’t be aggressive, yet defend yourself if needed.

Although the lady bug is a beetle, it is still liked by humans - their small size symbolises and gentle loving nature, and they give off an energy of being harmless.

This shows us how to stop harming ourselves.

Though small in size the ladybug is fearless. As fear cannot exist amongst joy, the ladybug brings a message of promise,
for they get us back in touch with the joy of living - we must let go of our fears and go back to our roots, to love.

We are also taught to restore our trust and faith in the universe, we have to get over ourselves, our egos, and allow life to take its course going with the flow.

The name ladybug has its roots in the middle ages, when it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and called the beetle of our lady.

This links it to spiritual idealism and religious devotion. Ladybug people frequently have past lives linked to religion or church - daily meditation is recommended.

In general ladybugs reproduce sexually, with the female laying eggs.

Their life cycle is only about 4 weeks long, meaning that over a summer several generations are produced,
linking the ladybug to the energies of regeneration and renewal.

Their short life span teaches us not to worry, and to live life to the full and always in the now.

Let go, let the universe and your inner voice guide you.

People with this totem are generally family orientated, have strong morals and social values.

Adult ladybugs can eat thousands of aphids and other scale insects in their life time, and have long been regarded as a good omen
by farmers and crop growers as these can be detrimental to crop production.

However, due to its diet the ladybug often has parasites - a message to those with this power animal to look after their digestive system.

Ladybug showing up in ones life foretells a time of luck and protection, where wishes start to become actualised.

The seasons of autumn and spring will be the most plentiful times for those with this power animal.

Worries will quickly disperse when ladybug appears as they shield us from our aggravations, paving the way for new found happiness
aim high, you will get what you focus on. However, ladybug also cautions us not to force things or try to hard to fulfil your wishes,
go with the flow and let things take their natural course.

Your wishes will come true when they do - in their own time!
