Is smelling a dead rat a bad omen?

Answer 1

Symbolically speaking, death relates to transformation and the shifting from one phase into another. Rats and mice (being considered vermin by some) are tantamount to something undesirable - poverty, disease, death, irritation, emotional/spiritual stagnation and evil. On the flipside, they have been considered to embody the human spirit and have been reverred for their relatively gentle and timid natures. My friend has a beautiful rat... It has an individual personality, keeps itself very clean, is particularly intelligent and very loyal.

I just this moment cleared a dead mouse crushed behind a sliding door and had an interesting time extricating it. It was simply a creature just getting by, so I didn't loathe it - just the smell! Not sure if it was the death of something bad or good... I wasn't pleased that it had died, but it obviously I experienced it for a reason.

I myself have had very unusual metaphorical experiences with animals, both living and dead. Many Indigenous people all over the world have already discovered the link between the animal realm and our own. You spend enough time paying attention to our fauna and it becomes quite uncanny how it relates to our own life. Many sceptics and critics at this point in time vibrate at too low a frequency to appreciate its significance, but many are surging ahead spiritually and are starting to see the 'bigger picture'.

Metaphysics and quantum physics are going some way to explain that we create our own realities - Anything, dead or alive, tend to be vey subtle signals that we (for the most part) attract but ignore. For those who take extra time to investigate them, they become fascinatingly esoteric.

I like the fact that people are asking more of these types of questions, as it begins to show that we are intuitively curious of our universe and that we are becoming more aware of a purpose that starts to show itself to us in mysterious ways. And yes, we can even find meaning in a decaying rodent! What the meaning is though depends on your personal circumstances and the point in your journey of self-discovery.

Peace.
