A Pileated Woodpecker is a totem messenger who represents the rhythms of life, humility and taking advantage of opportunities. The pileated woodpecker teaches you not to put energy into the things that aren't going to pay off. It says when something isn't working for you, fly to a new opportunity.
The pileated woodpecker is a hard working, often loud bird. It has every colour of the medicine wheel represented in it's body, a reminder of the need for balance in all areas of life. It is associated with new opportunities and change. If a Pileated Woodpecker has come into your life, ask yourself 'How can I find balance as I take advantage of this new opportunity?"
