Signs and Omens
Man by nature is an inquisitive, gregarious, and territorial creature; wanting and needing to mark his groups and territories as much as to assign meaning and interpretation to the naturally occurring and man made things around him. From ancient symbols carved or painted in caves, through secret societies of past and present to naturally occurring phenomenon and gang tagging we will try to find meanings and interpretations for all.

A broken cross by one of the Egyptian leaders in bibical times. Yea I know you thought it stood for peace but its oka just turn to Jesus.

One of the easiest to draw is three interlocking circles.
Slightly more difficult is the Dragon's Eye. An equal-sided triangle, with additional lines running from each point to the centre of the figure. A Neo-Pagan symbol of protection.
The one I find the most difficult to draw is the Penelope's Web - a neo-Pagan symbol of ten interconnected stars, used for general protection and to ward against negativity.
What does a Red cardinal following you from room to room mean?
Not all naturally occurring phenomenon are to be interpreted as omens. A red cardinal following you from room to room is one such occurrence. More likely than not the bird is simply trying to let you know the bird feeders are empty. It is amazing how fast some of nature's creatures figure out the corollary of people and food. If you are new to this home, and do not normally feed the birds, you may have "inherited" cardinals who are used to the previous people feeding them and as we have difficulty knowing one male cardinal from another, they may not realise you aren't the same person who used to fill their feeders.

What do red cardinals taping at your window mean?
Not all naturally occurring phenomenon are to be interpreted as omens. A red cardinal tapping at your window is one such occurrence. Unless cardinals have a specific significance to you or a member of your household, I would see this as nature interacting with you in a positive way. If the house is new to you, it may just be that the previous owners fed the birds and they came to "remind" you that the feeder was empty. The other possibility is that cardinals like most birds are remarkably territorial during the mating season, if the sun was at the correct angle the bird could well have seen his own reflection in the surface and thinking it a rival was trying to chase it away.

Are roadrunner birds a good omen?
Recently I have seen interpretations of roadrunner that include agility, quick-wittedness, speed and cleverness. However having lived in Arizona where I came to know roadrunner as the carnivorous, sneaky and sometimes vicious creature it actually is, I find it hard to think of them as an omen of any good at all.
What does it mean when you have several hummingbird sightings?
It means there are hummingbirds in your vicinity. That's all. Not all naturally occurring phenomenon are to be interpreted as omens. Often when one something appears in our lives we become sensitised to addition sightings of the same kind. As n example I rarely noticed the make, model and colour of car I now drive until I owned one and started looking for it in parking lots.
However, hummingbird is seen by some as a messenger of love and joy. If you feel hummingbird is significant to your life then this may be the message he carries for you.
