One of the most common questions I am asked is how/why did I choose my name?
💜✨ Indigo Magpie ✨💜 It sounds deliciously mysterious. I wanted something unique but I also wanted it to be absolutely steeped in spiritual meaning and really reflect me at heart.
👻 I’ve been aware of spirit and the afterlife for a very long time, since I was a little girl and the term “Indigo Child” has long been used to describe children who are highly intuitive and sensitive to spirit. Indigo children were also commonly considered to be headstrong and independent. Many “Indigo Children” are ASD, ADHD and / or ADD - I, of course, am ASD 🌈
💜 We can’t forget either that the third eye chakra which we open in order to work spiritually is a beautiful purple colour 💜
🐦⬛ I am a complete and utter magpie at heart - I am attracted to everything and anything glittery and shiny, I love little knick-knacks and I have a very eclectic taste. My little granny was the same and I feel like I honour her memory with the magpie, she is with me whenever I work with spirit 🕊️
I am also a little chatterbox once I get going and magpies are infamous for their chattering 😂 anyone I have read for will be familiar with my little timer!
Magpies are also deeply spiritual symbols 🧿 ; their black and white feathers represent the balance between two worlds - light and darkness, good and bad luck, the conscious and unconscious, with the reminder that we have to accept both parts of our true selves 🧘🏻♀️.
Magpies are clever and resourceful birds, appearing as omens when facing a major life change. Many traditions view them as bridges between the physical world and the spiritual realm and everyone is familiar with the rhyme - one for sorrow, two for joy etc 🎶
Native Americans saw them as sacred messengers that offer guidance and protection 🪽 whilst the Chinese believe them to be lucky symbols of joy and long lasting love because they mate for life 🩷 coincidentally I launched my business on the same day I met my future husband for the first time 🥰
So there you have it, for me a name holds a lot of meaning and I love that my name is so deeply intertwined in tradition and personal meaning ✨
