Animal symbolism

Dove

What the tradition holds

Read as peace, and as a message arriving gently rather than loudly.

Where that reading came from

Doves carried messages for millennia because they navigate home reliably. The peace reading comes through the flood story and centuries of art after it.

A mourning dove call is often mistaken for an owl. Note which one you actually heard, because you will want to know later.
