4. The Pelican
The Pelican is the first bird you encounter as you cross over to the Spirit Plane. It is the emperor of the unknown; the glowing scepter in its claws filters the world you see and instead the Pelican shows you what must be seen. It is the guide for your self within yourself; it requests your deepest fears, sorrows, and pains to come to the surface. For some, only mere hours are spent with the Pelican, for others, it can be years. Once you have settled your physical karmic debt, the Pelican takes the debt into its scepter and grants you passage forward.

upright meaning:
structure - control - harshness
The Pelican essentially represents spirit plane boot camp. When it comes up in a reading, it can be a symbol of structure and control, but it can also represent rigidity and coldness. If so, there may be a need to confront your inner self. When you see the Pelican, ask yourself if you are avoiding something that needs confrontation to move on or perhaps ask if you are being controlling about something that requires lightness.
reversed meaning:
merciless - coldness - differences
Upside down, the Pelican is a merciless dictator. If this card shows up reversed, it may represent a disciplinary figure in your life that may be leading to your discomfort and unhappiness. The reversed Pelican doesn’t always realize how strict they are being. If it is controlling your life in a negative way, approach the Pelican and see if you can work out your differences.
