Lizards and Bats?

[-Sky-]

After i read that some of the members here were chosen by their deities through specific animals i realised that some animals have come across me many times too.
The last weeks i kept seeing lizards on my way home or on my way to get the school bus.I think i've seen around 4 or more.
And the previous weeks bats kept entering my house.Also the other night i sat in my balcony for a small ritual and two bats(one of them looked more like a night butterfly) came near and startled me.I don't really consider bats a good sign but maybe they are the sign of some Goddess.

Do you happen to know which Goddesses and Gods are associated with lizards and bats?

Not that I know of. I'm sure somewhere in the world there is one though...there always is.

It seems more like an animal guide/messenger to me though.
Same thing happened with me and the spider, octopus, elephant and others.
You might want to read about totems, guides and things like that.
Here's just one resource-- there's TONS more


BAT
Transition, Rebirth
A Bat totem appearing in your life
is a call for the end of a way of life and the beginning of another.
You must face your greatest fears
and get rid of the part of your life that no longer is needed.
This transition is very frightening for many:
"better the devil you know..."
But you will not grow spiritually until the old parts are gone. Face the darkness before you and you will find the light in rebirth.

LIZARD If you have a Lizard totem, listen to our own intuition
above anyone else's.
Pay attention to your dreams for they show us
what we do not perceive when awake.
Dreams are shadows showing your fears and hopes.
Make a dream log and record your dreams.
Look for your symbolic and reoccurring dreams and study them carefully.
Lizard can also teach you to become more detached in life.
Sometimes it is necessary to separate yourself from others
to accomplish what is necessary.
Lizard helps you awaken the ability for objective detachment.
It can show you how to break from the past.

Don't get suck on thinking it's a God or Goddess...or try to fit one into the situation...there are tons of other possiblities out there. It could even be nothing-- just what happens in nature with those creatures. I see crows everyday all over in my yard. It's just what they do, it's not Morrigan or anthing else. It's just nature.
Just keep an open mind :)

Agaliha thank you for all your suggestions!I believe that you are right in saying that it seems more like animals messangers.After reading the messages that a bat and a lizard can bring,i understand why they appeared to me.Because these are exactly my troubles lately.
Maybe i should also consider lizards being my totem animals because i keep seeing them since i was little.And i actually feel guilty that my parents killed some of them.:(

Thanks for making me realise

You're welcome Sky. Those links I gave will open the way for tons more sites.
If you're really serious about learning about both or one of them look up their symbolism, lore, history, biology, myths and all of that.
There are also billions of threads on MW about totems and animal guides, so just do a search :)
Good luck on your journey with them!
