Is there a God or Goddess...

[Buttercup]

Is there a God or Goddess related to seagulls? I'm asking this before last night lying in bed and before drifting to sleep I had a vision of thousands of seagull wings over me in the bright blue sky. I couldn't really see the birds clearly but I guess I supposed they were seagulls because we were discussing the book "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" with a friend some days ago. Since I'm facing a very difficult problem and my intuition works a lot lately,I thought it might mean something and I'm looking into any connections with gods. I also wanted to ask if the number 9 is related to any god.

Numbers are closely related to Astrology, so it may be more tied to moons... but from the moon it's related to you could find out the God or Goddess associated with it. (Everything is connected, you know)

Sadly, I'm not very educated on Astrology.

But there are tons and tons and tons of seagulls around where I live. I never thought of them having some kind of religious ties before. I hope someone knows, I may do my own research as well.

moons = planets.

I have the moon on the brain.

The Norse Goddess Freyja is associated with the number nine. Nine is also related to the Hazel tree. The Hazel tree is associated with divination and inspiration. As far as seagulls are concerned, I was always told that Birds are the messengers of the Otherworld. Birds have always been very sacred to my family.

Seagulls are related to Ocean Deities, obviously enough. Where I'm from, that would be Don or Manannan Mac Lir, but for you it'll depend on where you're from and what (if any) Deities you feel a connection with.

Seagulls are also supposed to represent emotional healing. In particular, a seagull soaring above you represents the soul flying high above the stormy waters of a situation. I think you're being told that you will have the strength not only to endure your situation, but also break free of it and reach new heights. Good luck.

Since you were just reading JLS, it was probably a subconscious cue rather than a god trying to connect. To answer the question, I think any ocean diety would have some connection to seagulls. You might look into several of these and see which one you repsond to the most.

The Norse Goddess Freyja is associated with the number nine. Nine is also related to the Hazel tree. The Hazel tree is associated with divination and inspiration. As far as seagulls are concerned, I was always told that Birds are the messengers of the Otherworld. Birds have always been very sacred to my family.

Nine has deep symbolic meaning in the heathen worldview, but the idea that it is important to Freya isn't supported by the lore (that I can think of) and is probably just a bunch of newage hooey.
