Magpie Meaning and Symbolism
One of my favourite totems, magpies teach the art of verbal communication to others. Magpie meaning relates to their ability to be true protectors. If you have them nesting on or near your property, you probably don't need to worry too much about intruders.
They are so mystical and like crows, they travel between space and time, having a true link to Spirit. I have also heard that magpies mate for life. If you see two magpies together, this can symbolize a happy union in love.
Black and White Dualities
The magpie has a striking black and white plumage representing duality. Magpies in ancient Chinese philosophy also represent the yin-yang nature of opposites in life here on planet Earth.
These intelligent birds symbolize joy, communication, and social life, despite their reputation for stealing shiny objects.
Excellent singers, magpies also enjoy mimicing humans. They are truly intelligent and will often approach friendly humans asking for food. Sometimes they have been known to bring gifts as well!
So when a magpie flies into your life, you are being reminded that of your own dual nature. It's your mission, should you choose to accept it, to balance the opposites within you. Light and dark, male and female, positivity and negativity.
Go the Pies!
Magpies are opportunistic, (much like the Collingwood Football Team!). teaching us to take up any and all opportunities that come our way, so they can win!
If you meet a magpie, you are receiving the symbolic message that your intuition is increasing. Pay attention to all psychic hunches as they are leading you in the right direction.
