A LunaOwl Grimoire Entry from The Unconventional Momma

---

This revamped and more in-depth look at the Cicada Spirit Guide is here to shed new light on a misunderstood creature whose sacred message has long echoed through time, earth, and soul. They hum from the trees like vibrating chants — rhythmic, strange, impossible to ignore. For many, the Cicada’s arrival sparks unease, their alien appearance and sudden chorus often associated with omens or discomfort. But like many misunderstood messengers of the natural world, the Cicada wears a mask created by human fear and folklore.

The Art of Kelly Louise Judd : The Cicada

In truth, the Cicada is a sacred totem across many cultures, a being of profound wisdom, aligned with the deepest mysteries of rebirth, transformation, and soul-timing.

They hum from the trees like vibrating chants — rhythmic, strange, impossible to ignore. For many, the Cicada’s arrival sparks unease, their alien appearance and sudden chorus often associated with omens or discomfort. But like many misunderstood messengers of the natural world, the Cicada wears a mask created by human fear and folklore.

🌿 The Bad Rap — and Why It’s Undeserved

In the West, Cicadas are sometimes linked to decay or foreboding due to their sudden mass appearances and eerie sounds. But this association is superficial — based more on appearance and timing than truth. Like the snake, spider, or crow, Cicadas carry a long legacy of being misjudged.

Yet in other cultures, their symbolism is the opposite.

• In Ancient China, cicadas symbolized eternal youth and immortality. Jade cicadas were often placed in the mouths of the dead to guide the soul in its transformation.
• In Native American traditions, cicadas represented resurrection and protection. Some tribes saw them as powerful symbols of drought survival — emerging only when the time was right.
• In Japanese folklore, the Cicada’s song is a symbol of summer and the fleeting nature of life — both sacred and haunting.

So why do these beings stir something deep within us? Because they are mirrors. Cicadas remind us of what we bury, what we wait for, and what we’re afraid to bring into the light.

🐚 Cicada Medicine: Spirit Guide Themes

When a Cicada enters your dreams, physical space, or spiritual practice, it brings potent, layered energy. This is not a casual guide. Cicada medicine hums with deep transformation, often after a long, quiet internal journey.

✦ Rebirth After Long Silence

Cicadas spend most of their lives underground, unseen and unheard — then, in perfect timing, they emerge transformed and loud. If this isn’t soul work, what is?

“You are not late. You are right on time.”
Cicada teaches us that the long, silent seasons of life — grief, rest, healing, self-doubt — are not wasteful. They’re sacred gestation periods before rebirth.

✦ Divine Timing & Trust in the Process

These spirit beings don’t rush. Some wait 13 to 17 years to surface. They don’t emerge half-formed. They know their moment.
This is a sacred reminder: not all growth is visible.
Cicada asks: Can you trust your inner clock over society’s timeline?

✦ Truth-Telling & Soul Sound

Their song is not for everyone — but they sing anyway. And loudly.
Cicada energy calls you to reclaim your voice, your story, and your sacred truth. It may not be palatable to others. That’s not the point.

Cicada reminds you: Your truth isn’t too much. It’s just timed to shake the trees awake.

🌍 Rooted in the Earth, Aligned with the Cosmos

Cicadas survive by drawing nourishment from deep within the Earth — tapping tree roots for sustenance through long years of darkness. This reflects our need for ancestral grounding, spiritual nourishment, and self-care while we wait for the next chapter.

Cicada teaches:
🌱 Stay rooted.
⏳ Trust the wait.
🗣 Speak your soul.
🔥 Rise when it’s time — not when others tell you to.

🌀 A Message for the Misfits, the Quiet Ones, and the Late Bloomers

If you’ve ever felt behind, unseen, or “too much” when you finally rise — the Cicada is your guide.
It tells you, You’re not broken. You’re beautifully timed.

You may be:

• Moving through a personal rebirth
• Letting go of a people-pleasing identity
• Feeling called to speak your truth even if it trembles

If so, this spirit ally is close by.

🌿 Final Thoughts from the Grimoire

The Cicada isn’t here to frighten or disturb you. It’s here to wake you up — gently, or with thunder. To remind you that rebirth is messy, beautiful, and divine.

In a world addicted to immediacy and surface-level polish, Cicada asks you to dig deep, stay patient, and emerge only when your soul is ready to sing.

Your transformation doesn’t need permission.
Only time.
And trust.
