QOTW - Do you believe in signs?

A dove lands in front of you.  A dream disturbs you.  A passing shadow gives you chills.  Your horoscope is eerily accurate.  The Tarot reading you just did was right-on-the-money.


These are all signs of one sort or another.  Do you seek them out?  Do you pay attention?  Do you change your actions because of them?


Looking forward to lots of responses!

Signs don't necessarily come in dreams. None of mine do in fact as I never remember my dreams either. A sign could be a song on the radio, a flower by the roadside, anything really. Have you seen the movie Fools Rush In with Matthew Perry and Selma Hayek? They address this very issue with one character believing in signs and the other not. Eventually, the non-believing character finds himself seeing signs and becomes a believer. As I recall, the signs in the movie were a billboard, a ad on the side of a bus, and a little girl with the same name as his wife. Normal everyday things that had meaning only because of WHEN he saw them and the personal feelings/memories they triggered.

Tarot, dreams, other forms of divination like scrying....they are all good ways to seek signs in my opinion....and they encourage us to take notice.

I usually seek direction or guidance (which is what I think "signs" are) through various tools. Tarot. Stones. Meditation. My intuition. Journaling in my Book of Shadows. A person is sent as a Guide, a random connection, and says or points someting out. Sometimes the Goddess sends signs that are too subtle for me and I miss them. Even when I have requested them. It's a difficult skill to master -- sifting out meaningful information coming at us from the tiny details of our daily lives. Details are sometimes just that, details. Not "signs," but still, if you put them together and are observant, they tell a story of your life.

So true...isn't that why we love a good novel? It's made up of all those tiny details and if the writer is gifted, they tell a wonderful story...

I suppose if you pay attention to signs you run the risk of reading too much into things...but hey, it's just so much fun!

Yeah, good novels where all the little details and loose ends are all accounted for at the end, are great for brain and imagination exercise, as well as satisfying to read a good yarn with a complete, all accounted for type ending. Life isn't like that, of course. Things don't tie up in a neat bow. It's important to develop our gifts of discernment and intuition, learn how to use the tools, to see the patterns and signs and indications when they appear to help us see more clearly. To help us live up to our potential by making us aware of opportunities and choices, their meanings and where they lead us in our lives. As well as warnings of a potentially dangerous path, risky to the well-being of our body, mind and spirit. The gift to "see" is stronger in some than others, but we all can learn enough to help ouselves in our lives if we are willing and open to do so.

At my graduation ceremony last Friday I asked for a sign that my dad was there with me. During the ceremony I felt a nudge on my cap as if someone behind me had bumped heads with me, my cap didn't fall off which it would have done if this had really happened as it was way too big and kept sliding around (lol). The row me was too far away for this to have happened by accident and we were all seated at the time. Coincidence, imagination or a sign? I prefer to think that it was a sign and my dad was letting me know he was there to see this milestone in my life.
