What is the spiritual meaning of a pair of doves?
Introduction
Doves, in particular white doves, have become one of the most recognizable spirit animals across the world, most strongly connected with love due to their tendency to mate for life.
They have gentle and compassionate energy and are widely used within spiritual imagery.
Although there are different varieties of doves, the white dove is the most commonly referred to when discussing spirit animals and spirituality, and their simplicity in color and beautiful, serene appearance signifies importance in itself.
Natural beauties, doves do not need to try in order to be admired, they are almost angelic in their appearance, calling to mind innocence and purity when observed.
What it means to see a pair of doves
Of all the spirit animals to see, the dove is certainly one of the most positive.
With their pure and clean appearance, their positive historical connotations, and their spiritual energy, they bring with them good omens.
To see a pair of doves often can be a sign from the Universe, your guides, or Angels that they are very fiercely watching over and protecting you.
Sometimes, we need a little extra protection and guidance and this can be true when you are seeing any symbol or particular image, word, number, etc. often, but to see a pair of doves frequently really is signifying a deep message of love and protection.
If so, make sure to be taking care of yourself both mentally and physically, and be aware of any deep emotions flowing through you.
As well as this, you could be seeing a pair of doves as a powerful reminder that invites you to connect more deeply with your spiritual journey.
Perhaps you have been ignoring your intuition or not honoring your highest self by living in a way that isn’t serving you.
Check in whenever you see this beautiful reminder and ensure you are leading yourself towards a life that you wish to be living.
Doves and relationships
To see a pair of doves could be asking you to look deeper into your relationships – platonic or romantic.
Perhaps you have been feeling the urge to connect more deeply with those around you but have been wondering how to do this?
Take the sign from the doves that it’s time to just go for it – stop overthinking and get in touch or send them a letter in the post to let them know you’re thinking about them.
Your angels are sending you this sign because it’s the time to act, so nurture and cherish your relationships to ensure their longevity.
Doves are a symbol of truth, purity, and love, so to see them when you are in a committed relationship is a really good sign – your partner is also committed and completely in the relationship with you.
Their priority is you, fidelity is important to them, and this could be the love of your life! If you’re single and looking for love, doves are also a good sign.
They have a very distinct way of courting and are very purposeful when they wish to attract a mate, so if someone is showing interest in you and being clear with their intentions, believe them because they’re being truthful.
Doves are often used as a symbol when someone is getting married, sometimes going as far as to have a pair of doves included in the ceremony to represent the spiritual connection and unity between the two joining together.
