It is a sign to stop going up and down in life, we often end up ditching things and replacing situations. The squirrel is a sign that you should engage with life, and try to think about living fully. Squirrels were worshipped by the ancient Egyptians in ancient Egypt, as well as many gods and goddesses. Regular offerings and invocations were made to the gods to ensure their continued benign presence. The squirrel was considered an animal that was free to roam but always needed to work hard.

If you think about how the squirrel has to chew every day to keep it’s teeth at a certain level, it was considered a work-based animal. The animals were not worshipped, but rather the gods who took the form of animals. The animals served as messengers between people and gods. They mummified thousands of animals to appease the gods. It wasn't the animals that were worshipped, but ‌the gods who took on the forms of animals. Animals served as a messenger between people and gods.

Is seeing a squirrel good luck?

Yes, as I have already mentioned there are many ancient folklore stories which point toward this phenomena. My Grandad, a small man who has since passed made us a treehouse in our yard which was a cool wooden structure with three doors, and a rope ladder. I spent hours going to the treehouse, and the view was fantastic. I didn't bring any books or magazines to the treehouse, I just sat on the small bench that was positioned right outside the door and gazed at the trees.

I felt alone in a world that didn't understand me and sought refuge with the animals. The Secret Garden, Narnia, and Anne of the Thousand Days had been among my favourite films. I was also a great fan of the Dickon in the film the secret garden. His ability to communicate with wildlife fascinated me. In the movie, Dickon could walk on his hands and blackbirds sat on Dickon's shoulders. I can also remember that they referred to Dickon as an animal himself (like a rebirth) into a bird, a fox, or a squirrel. This got me thinking - it was possible that I too could have been an animal in another life. So could you!

Many of us have times where we have animals that show up for us. I can remember Cassy, a stuffed squirrel of double-pint size, was gifted to me by my Aunt Flo she joined my companions who were three beanbag frogs, Bono, Franky, and Victor. But it was Cassy with which I have slept each night since. I urge you to think about the type of toys you adored when you were younger. Often in life we can take the energy of these toys and use them in our real lives.

The squirrel is not mentioned in the bible but there are many references to animals. The question here is that we need to take what the bible has said about animals and what they mean. According to the Bible, the squirrel is part of the rat family - seemingly a wise animal. Although it is small, the rat/squirrel can find a place in the rocks. A squirrel after all is a small, sturdy animal with strong legs and toes that is highly intelligent.

A squirrel's fur was very valuable in biblical times. Its skin was offered to God as an offering, and it was also used for making sandals and shoes. Although rats are shy, they can be very aggressive and vicious if cornered. If we look at specific scripture we can see: “And these are unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm on the ground: the mole rat, the mouse, the great lizard of any kind, which is Leviticus 11:29. In a nutshell, it is telling us to be aware of unclean or difficult times. Biblically, squirrels can indicate that you may encounter difficult people.

It is good luck if the squirrel poops on you, spiritually. Things will be stable and nothing serious. There is not that much information in the bible and it denotes that you may encounter difficult people - due to the fact rats (which are from the same family) indicate that life can be unclear.

Distinct characteristics of a squirrel

Stamina - it not so uncommon to see squirrels racing through trees, their never ending source of energy is a joy to see. This represents that one has to face every day full of energy no matter how hard life is.
Playful – a squirrel is playful, running between branches the message here is to not take life too seriously.
Frugality - their sense of preparedness for the coming of winter. The message here is to check your stocks, prepare for the future.

Sociable - if a squirrel can be friendly with the public, then why can't you?
Being Resourceful – studies show that squirrels can only find 10% of their stashed food - a message to us that it’s also not resourceful to be too over prepared. Nevertheless, all those nuts that the squirrel failed to reclaim will sprout into new trees.

These acrobatic creatures are not only a source of amusement but also factors who greatly contribute to the cycles of life. Therefore we might also want to review a Bible verse, "Reaping what we sow". If you plant good deeds on your fellowmen then good deeds will be done to you.

Squirrels go in groups or pairs, friendly with similar species. Further observations reveal that squirrels are expressive, especially when they feels vulnerable. This particular trait symbolizes that one should try to be outgoing, communicate effectively with other people or with their surroundings, let them know how you feel. Be articulate.
