WHY THE SCARAB?
With Spring's excitement in the air, I'm reminded that new beginnings require an acknowledging of the past.
Many of you have inquired about the symbolism behind my new logo and web design, particularly the inclusion of the scarab beetle, which is actually a nod to a bit of my favorite wisdom. Did you know that Scarab beetles are known for planting their eggs in animal dung? Talk about appreciating what's left behind as a portal to the new!
I also find it particularly fitting, given my offerings, that in ancient Egypt, scarabs were placed on the hearts of the deceased during mummification, guiding souls into the afterlife, recognizing our immortality.
As if that is not enough, I share a unique connection with the scarab as well. In 2019, a lively one unexpectedly leapt into my bag at a coffee shop. I interpreted this encounter as a spiritual nudge to embrace my Divine Feminine energies. You should have seen how I then leapt for joy when this happened, disrupting the whole coffee shop!
And let's not forget Carl Jung's perspective on the scarab beetle. He famously saw it as evidence of the meaningful connections between the inner and outer worlds, and the importance of symbols in accessing the depths of the unconscious mind. All this after one showed up tapping on the window in a session just following his patient describing a dream in which she received a golden scarab!
If you know me, you know I literally live for our play with the Spirit! (I mean. You aren’t living unless you have a favorite number to get some good God winks along the way! 37, anyone?)
So yes, my logo's nod to the scarab holds multiple layers of significance, plus it is a reminder of balance—represented by two dots—when we're at our best we are harmonizing the dualities of existence.
Tell me! What symbol is guiding you into this next phase? And, what lessons from the past are you consciously bringing forth to shape the future you want?
With all my heart,
Tahra
