Magpie Symbolism . . .

Magpie takes you on a journey into the open arid lands of the old west, riding the dusty trails with the adventurous spirit of the cowboys. 

In the badlands of the old west the Magpie earned the reputation of a swift and expedient daredevil.

Magpie can be called upon as trusted guide, for the Magpie knows the lay of the land, in unfamiliar, uncharted and unknown territory. 

The Magpie knows every trail and every forgotten lost trail as well as the secrets of the deep mysterious river canyons, springs and precious resources these lands hold.

Magpie, the winged dancer of the skies, has beautiful bold markings of jet black and pure white, just like the Japanese symbol of yin-yang.

The darkness represents the unknown, and the light represents the truth that all things that can be imagined are possible. 

We can find great serenity in embracing the beautiful expanse of the unknown, and know that truths will be revealed to us in a time and a way that we can understand. 

Magpie is a beautiful symbolic representation of this ideal of balance.
