Swallow
The swallows are messengers of happiness because they embody the regenerative forces of mother nature. They symbolize the return of Persephone from the Underworld and the beginning of spring. To see one near the equinox ensures abundance and protection from adversity.
If they nest on your home they announce serenity, fertility and good luck. But if the nest is destroyed by a third party you will have
to expect misfortune and bad news.
Robin
To see a robin is always a good omen because his red feathers symbolize the invigorating power of fire. Indicates the success of a project, luck, and prosperity.
If a robin enters your home (or your garden) then it means that there will soon be positive changes. Ensures protection from evil and overcoming obstacles.
Raven
Ravens have a reputation for bringing bad news. Most of the time it is so but you have to consider them powerful guardians. They warn us when something is about to go wrong. I do not necessarily speak of portents of death or black magic but of trials that we will have to overcome by destiny.
Associated with the solar god Apollo, the raven symbolizes the discovery of the truth. To see one means that you are ready to discover something important for yourself and for your spiritual evolution.
