Bat symbolic meanings: Illusion - Rebirth - Dreams - Intuition - Initiation - Journeying - Inner Depth - Communication

The bat is largely misunderstood and so therefore many of its symbolic meanings are inappropriately fear-based. However, the very savvy Native Americans approached the realm of animals from a position of honor - knowing that all things are connected.

The Native Americans recognized that the bat was highly sensitive to their surroundings and so therefore was considered a symbol of intuition, dreaming and vision. This made the bat a powerful symbol for Native American shamans and medicine people. Often the spirit of the bat would be invoked when special energy was needed, like "night-sight" which is the ability to see through illusion or ambiguity and dive straight to the truth of matters.

It is a symbol of communication because the Native Americans observed the bat to be a highly social creature. The bat has very strong family ties. They are very nurturing, exhibiting verbal communication, touching, and sensitivity to members of their group.

The bat is a symbol of rebirth and depth because it is a creature that lives in the belly of the Mother Earth. From the womb-like caves it emerges every evening at dusk, it is reborn every evening.

Skull Tattoos Meaning and Drawing Arts

Skull tattoo meanings can vary greatly depending on the skull tattoo design and the beliefs of the wearer's culture or religion. In Christianity, for example, skull tattoos often symbolize eternity, or the human remains that are left behind as the soul moves on. According to those who believe in Kabbalah teachings, the skull represents rebirth, which is a reason for celebration instead of sorrow, sadness and mourning. Along the same vein, death doesn't always signify something negative; it can instead be a positive experience and remembering those who have passed away can be uplifting. In Mexico, for example, the skull is used as a symbol of a popular festival, during which the dead are honored, revered and respected.

Other tattoo skull meanings have less religious connotations. The skull has long been a symbol of triumph and rebellion, for example, depicted most often in pirate flags flown in rebellion of governmental rule and authority. During times of war in the past, the heads or skulls of the victor's enemies were sometimes piled up as a message to those who harbored thoughts of revenge, promising to deliver to them a fate similar to that of their fallen comrades.
