It’s easy to wonder, what’s the spiritual meaning of an egg? Well, you’re in the right place! Sit back and get ready to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about eggs. I hope you’re as eggcited as I am! (Sorry, I can’t resist a bad pun.)

First, it’s important to know that eggs are full of spiritual meaning. Spanning across multiple cultures and religions, the egg is an important symbol of birth, fertility, and the beginning of something. Often referred to as the cosmic egg or the world egg, it’s believed that the egg represents earth and our entire existence as we know it. (We’ll get into that more later in this post.)

In many cultures, gods emerge from an egg. The egg represents the potential of everything that may happen. That’s a pretty major symbolism!

Also, it’s necessary to remember the physical attributes of eggs. They have an oval shape and represent not only beginnings but infinity, a circle of life and death. In addition, they often have both a yolk and an egg white ,or albumen, which this represents duality and balance.

Most importantly, eggs have delicate exterior shells yet have the immense strength to create life. Therefore, it’s an emblem of the balance of light and dark, life and death, weakness and strength.

Eggs are an incredible symbol of new beginnings, possibility, and creation. But, what does that mean practically? Are eggs a good omen? Or, are eggs a bad omen?

Well, I guess that’s a matter of perspective as with all things. Generally, eggs are a very strong symbol that new things are on the way to you. So, if you find whole, complete eggs during your day, you can probably expect lots of abundance and fertility. And, new beginnings as well. In fact, the larger the egg, the larger the blessing. So, if you see an ostrich egg amazingly big things might be on the way to you!

However, if you are rather content with where you are in life, eggs might not always be the best omen to receive. For example, if you are content with your relationship but you keep seeing eggs and nests, you might expect a shake up in your love life at home. This could be a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about change! Still, eggs are almost always very positive omen.

On the contrary, broken eggs can a rather bad omen in certain contexts, especially since it has a connection with dead birds. But, it’s not all bad news! Sometimes broken eggs can be positive. Let’s explore further.

What’s The Spiritual Meaning Of A Broken Egg Shell?

Have you found a broken egg on your travels? There’s always something inherently sad about a broken egg, isn’t there? So, what’s the spiritual meaning of a broken egg shell? And, does it matter if the shells or empty or not?

Well, broken eggs are sometimes a rather negative symbol. If whole eggs represent potential and creation, then naturally broken eggs represent unfulfilled potential and disappointment. In short, you might expect bad news or broken plans if you’ve seen a lot of broken eggs.

However, broken eggs can also be a symbol that you will soon be pushed out of your comfort zone. This can serve as an important wake up call.

For example, you may want to pay attention to where you have lost faith and hope in life. Where can you grow? Are you procrastinating and putting off change? What can you do to bring your inspiration back? How can you tap into your full potential?

Also, it is important to note that broken eggs and empty shells do not mean the same thing. Broken eggs with all of their contents represent failure, they never made it to those pancakes they were meant to be. Tragic! But, empty shells have been used up to their potential.

Empty egg shells are a fantastic omen. They have been transformed into delicious pancakes or a chicken, whatever! Empty, used egg shells are symbol of transformation, and potential fulfilled. They are a reminder to use all your resources to the best of your ability!

What’s The Spiritual Meaning Of A Cracked Egg?

So, we’re pretty clear on what a broken egg means. But, what does it mean spiritually when you’ve found a cracked egg? According to some superstitions, a cracked egg can be a rather negative omen. Because it is not completely broken open or still in tact, it means the energy is stuck in limbo. This means whatever you want to manifest in life, either good or bad, is barely moving to fruition. Progress is very, very slow!

However, this can be a good thing. It’s not always bad to wait for things to happen, sometimes you can learn even more. For example, if you’ve found a cracked egg safe in a nest, a few hours later a bird might finally emerge from the egg. You might want to be more patient and mindful of where you are investing your energy.

As a bird sits upon her eggs waiting for babies to hatch, make sure you are hatching the eggs you want to bring forth in your life. If you are investing time and effort into a helpless situation, you might want to move nests! Invest your energy where it will be fruitful.

For example, dreaming of a giant egg usually represents lots of good things arriving soon in your life.
