White Heron Medicine is unwavering Feminine Grace.

She is the ballerina in flowing pastel shades of chiffon weightlessly leaping across the stage of human existence. She makes it look easy, but beneath her graceful exterior lays a lifetime of steadfast persistence and an unwavering determination to succeed. A solitary creature, she detests when others dare to interfere in her personal matters. She keeps a close and limited circle of friends and tends to mate for life.

In Celtic Lore, you will find the Great Heron has an association with many of the Gods

because of her calm and peaceful nature. Tranquil and steady in her manner of hunting, her stillness is a sign of her profound awakening of wisdom. When she decides upon her next action, she applies her entire will to achieve it. She stands by her commitments as if she keeps all of her eggs in one basket.

White Heron still possesses all the qualities of the Great Blue Heron,

plus she has something extra. The color white is associated with purity. In her case, it is specifically the purity that exists in the natural world, that which is free from chronic human interference. Her presence here teaches us not to wrestle with nature but rather to foster and co-create in unison with it.

In many Native American tribes, Herons are considered symbols of good luck.

On the Northwest Coast, if fishermen see a heron, it is considered exceedingly beneficial for a successful fishing adventure. In other folklore, however, Heron is portrayed as a restless loner. Like Cranes, Herons are sometimes associated with being overly self-centered and having a weakness for flattering attention.
