Unusual Animal Sightings

Lately I have noticed an increasing amount of unusual animal sightings. I've been researching each animal after I see it, but I'm not really sure how to interpret the signs.

It started a year or so ago when I was laying out on my parent's roof looking up at the stars. As I was meditating I asked the Goddess to guide my path and give me clarity. A few moments later a bat appeared and began flying around above me. Then maybe a month or so later I made a similar request and the next morning, as I walked out into my parent's garage, I noticed a bat hanging from a cable above the door. We keep the garage door down and all of the doors closed at night, so I have no idea how the bat even got in there! (I was able to capture it in a net and walked him to the woods about a mile from the house and let him go.)

I've also noticed red-tailed hawks around me constantly. About a month or two ago I was driving home from class and was just going in to pick something up before going to pick my daughter up from daycare. As I pulled into the driveway a hawk flew above me and landed on a nearby tree. When I came out of the house it was still there and as soon as I got in my car and started backing out of my driveway it left. In the last couple of weeks it seems like they are everywhere. There are two that constantly circle over my school campus (in the middle of a fairly large city which I find rather unusual) and also two that circle over my daughter's daycare.

My most recent encounter was yesterday. I was driving on my way to school and a large bird, unlike anything I had ever seen before, darted across the oncoming lanes and stopped in the grassy median just as I passed by. Then as soon as I was past it, it ran back across the road in the direction it had come from. Then not five seconds later I saw two more of the same bird flying towards my car and passed overhead. I'm still not completely sure what kind of bird they were because I have never in my life seen anything like it, but I've researched online and I *think* they were cranes. The night before I saw the cranes (or whatever they were) was the New Moon in Aries and I did meditate and ask the Goddess to help me embrace my spirituality and become more in tune with myself and to help me develop my psychic awareness and abilities. So I'm thinking that may have something to do with it.

I think it's obvious that I'm being sent a message, but I just can't figure out what it might be.

Brightest Blessings!
