Ann Williams Fitzgerald and Karen Osborn write about Kookaburra in “Wisdom of the Australian Animals,”
Kookaburra is associated with Sagittarius and Topaz. The wisdom of Kookaburra is Laughter and Joy, his laughing call stirs the joy deep within your being. Remember to allow yourself to laugh
Are you taking yourself too seriously? Kookaburra says, “Why so serious?”
Scott Alexander King, in “Animal Dreaming” speaks of Kookaburra’s healing power. Kookaburra reminds us to take responsibility for our own healing, even though it is challenging and confronting. Releasing pent-up pain, confusion and resentment is the means that Kookaburra works. Most of our suffering is self inflicted, and we deny and ignore the sources of our suffering – often driving the causes deep until they are difficult to detect.
The laughter that Kookaburra encourages is not superficial laughter – but the deep laughter that heals the body and soul. Kookaburra hunts Snakes (the symbol of Aesculapius, the Healer, and his Caduceus), which gives him direct connection to healing energy.
Use this laughter to release your own blocks and frustrations, and take responsibility for your healing.
Kookaburra awakens us to our inner truth, and thus, the dawning of a new day. So remember that to witness a silent Kookaburra is Spirit’s way of restoring faith in our quest for personal healing.
