So my sponsor told me that after being quote “violently anti-religious/spiritual” prior to getting sober (lol), she finally surrendered to something other than her in the universe. She asked this old wise man about it. He told her, “there are guardian angels of sorts that have just been sitting on the bench waiting to help you on your journey, all you have to do is ask them for help and they will start to show you gifts and signs you are on the right path.” I personally have lost a lot of spirituality in the years I’ve been drinking, I had bad connotations with organized religion but I am very energetically in tune with something greater than me.
Long story short, I broke down and asked my “angels” or whatever to just watch over me, give me some sort of sign that I’m safe and protected in this path. They gave me a raccoon eating trash on my first sober concert haha. I sent it to my sponsor laughing out loud at the irony and she sent me this:
“Live for the moment and find time
each day to celebrate life in your own way.”
-Raccoon
Meaning and Messages:
When you encounter Raccoon
symbolism, it is a sign that you must let go of a situation, person, belief, or habit. Therefore it would be a good idea to go inward to see what is stopping your progress. Conversely, meaning can also be a signal that you should accept the gifts being offered to you right now by the universe.
