We chose Hummingbird as South American shamanic cultures believe it to be a spiritual ally that bridges heaven and earth, helping them learn how to heal. With the ability to hover, Hummingbird teaches us to be more present. These tiny birds also model how to look for the sweetness in life, extracting the nectar of wisdom from every experience.
Symbolism

The three-tiered crown worn by the Hierophant represents the conscious, subconscious and superconscious.
Astrology
The Hierophant is associated with the Sign of Taurus. Taurus is known for its steadiness and endurance, just like the hummingbird which can fly 20-25 miles a day during its migration!
