Spring is here and the ubiquitous sign of all things Easter is the\u00a0egg. The\u00a0egg\u00a0is a symbol in many different beliefs and cultures, as it symbolizes fertility, new life, or new beginnings. When\u00a0eggs\u00a0are shared or used in spring and Easter celebrations, the meaning behind it is joy in a new life or the awakening of the Earth and Nature from a long Winter’s nap. Not only do\u00a0eggs\u00a0symbolize that we are in a process of developing ourselves spiritually, but it is said that if you dream of\u00a0eggs, then it may indicate that you are ready to have a child, or you are “birthing” a new area of your life, and changes to achieve that goal will come to pass.

Many spiritual workers also use\u00a0eggs\u00a0as symbolic items in ritual. Curanderos, or shamanic native healers from Central and South America, the United States and Mexico, use\u00a0eggs\u00a0as a central part of a limpia, or “cleaning\/cleansing”, they\u00a0will perform for you. Limpias are recommended when you have blockages in your life or if you are experiencing a streak of bad luck, negativity, bad karmic situations, phobias, fears, and in some cases, curses that run through a family from generation to generation.

Many use the\u00a0egg\u00a0as a source of divination once the spiritual cleansing ritual has been performed. Some crack open the\u00a0egg\u00a0into a clear glass of liquid (usually water) and watch as the albumen, or\u00a0egg\u00a0white, swirls and form images that can then be interpreted or “read” in a spiritual consultation. This is for the spiritual worker to determine what form of action to take against the negative energy that is affecting the client’s success. Other cleansing rituals instruct you to break the\u00a0eggs\u00a0that were rubbed over your body into the toilet to flush them down and away as a symbolic act of breaking a relationship off with another. Duck\u00a0eggs\u00a0have also been employed in rituals regarding a woman’s reproductive health and issues with fertility.

Part of the\u00a0egg\u00a0is also used in the form of powdered eggshells, called Efun in the African language known as Yoruba. Efun, or cascarilla as it is known in the United States and Latin America, is used to mark a spiritual circle before a ceremony, as an addition to spiritual baths for healing, cleansing, and protection, and is also applied to certain areas of the body considered entry points for malicious spirits to try to gain possession of a person.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n



Not only the\u00a0egg\u00a0is used in hoodoo, conjure, and magic, but also the\u00a0chicken. Traditional hoodoo practitioners may have “frizzled” chickens\u00a0in their yard to ‘scratch’ up any items meant to jinx or “cross you up.\u201d The “Frizzle”\u00a0chicken\u00a0is a specialty breed with characteristic curled or frizzled plumage. While the frizzle gene can be seen in many breeds, such as the Pekin and Polish, the Frizzle\u00a0chicken\u00a0is a distinct breed in a number of European countries and in Australia.\u00a0

Chickens\u00a0are also used in certain traditions to cleanse as well. Depending on the belief system, a\u00a0chicken\u00a0will be ritually cleansed with water, prayed over, then passed over the entirety of a person’s body to absorb any negativity or curse. It is then disposed of in the manner which the belief system dictates, and the person is considered cleaned of the condition.

Many cultures and races have their own stories of the use and meaning of\u00a0eggs\u00a0in Spring. Investigate and ask the Elders in your family what they know about the meaning of\u00a0eggs\u00a0in your family’s heritage. You may find a story about the Faberge\u00a0eggs\u00a0or something even more precious to keep \u2014 love and sharing with your family and their stories at a blessed time.\u00a0
