Blue Heron & Egret
Meaning, Medicine & Magic
Blue Heron & Egret symbolize being
Blue Heron asks you to look inside and nurture all aspects of yourself. Embrace your “flaws”, uniqueness, and feelings of shame with self-love. Once you love your whole self and find your inner peace, you’ll be able to bring peace to others, spreading healing throughout the world.
Breath deep, stand in each moment, feel the full spectrum of emotions, and lead with your heart.
Blue Herons walk slowly or stand still for long periods of time when waiting to catch fish, trusting that what they need will come to them at the right time. What areas of your life could you bring more patience to? Sharpen your awareness so you’re ready whenever “it” arrives.
Blue Herons’ uniquely s-shaped necks allow them to stand at a distance and strike quickly at prey. Use this to your advantage. You don’t need to be right in the middle of everything. You can have quick access to things/desires seemingly out of nowhere. Lean on your keen observation and intuition to know the best time to strike.

I see the blue heron frequently here in the lower Hudson Valley. I always think to myself, “this must be my spirit guide as I can spot a blue heron so easily”. Last week, I decided to open another massage office after a two year break, then I hit a deer and totaled my car. The deer died but I am completely fine. Lamenting my car quandary, I pass a blue heron at the edge of a pond with a fish in his mouth. How grateful and lucky am I? Yours is the first reference I read and your art is incredibly beautiful and fluid. I feel pretty calm and trusting.
Aw thank you. I’m so glad I could help bring some calm and trusting feelings to you through my art and symbolism. I’m so glad blue heron is with you. Sorry to hear of your quandary and I’m glad your feeling hope again.
I seen a blue heron in Riverside, Cali it waited to catch my attention once I gave it the blue heron turned away and proceeded to show me it’s hunting capability and keen judgment in it’s attack I thought to myself predators are real I even got it on video plus a few up close snap shots

I googled “The Magic of Herons” and came upon your lore and video of your painting, truly magic. Great way to start the day, thank you.
You’re welcome and thank you!
Generally, I’m not a fan of birds but I have been wanting to get a wall painting with a considerable amount of blue in it, so I searched the web for paintings with the color navy blue or just a dark blue. After many failed attempts to find the perfect painting, I stumbled upon the Blue Heron and I had to rationalize why I should purchase this picture of a bird. I finally, ordered the painting and I must say I do like it and it fits the room well. I still need to have it professionally framed. I find myself looking at it often. I have read many reports about the Blue Heron coming into one’s life, however, the blue heron is not my animal guide but maybe it will be as promising to me as to the people whose animal guide is the blue heron. I have never seen a Blue Heron in real life but I feel one day I will.
