Animal Omens and when they cross your path
According to the old ways and many ancient cultures it is often no coincidence when an animal crosses your path.

Either way any animal that passes by your pathway to me is special and a sign from above. As a child I was raised on superstitions as my Nana Jessy was really superstitious.
These signs over the years have gone from being really bad to good and I have to admit a part of me believes we make our own good fortune. However, I like the romantic notions of animals and spirits with the odd fairy thrown in for good measure, so long as we don’t take it too seriously!
