Cardinals fly where they wish, can saunter on their little spindly bird legs where they wish, and see our earth through the trees as it naps and waits for the next time it decides to take flight.
Cardinals are one of the oldest, most prominent signs of Heaven in the western world. The name cardinal comes from the Latin word “cardo,” which means hinge.
Cardinals are seen as the hinges on the door between this world and the next, the afterlife and earthly life, bringing messages back from the dearly departed. Many say that after their beloved family member or friend dies they can see a cardinal soon after.
It is a sign that they are all right, and that you will be all right.
They are looking out for you. Cardinals are a magical sign.
So a tattoo of one to commemorate someone is a time-honored and awesome thing to do.
