Information: The Peacock is a sign of beauty, love, passion, royalty, respect and honour.

Ancient cultures like Greeks, Egyptians and Romans praised the beauty of Peacocks because of their vibrant colours. The sight of a peacock was thought to be a gift from the gods or other divine beings. In Roman times they were an important symbol representing funerals, death and resurrection.

These birds were a favourite to adorn the gardens of the wealthy in Medieval and Tudor times. The Tudors ate a wider variety of meat than we do today including swan, peacock, beaver, ox, venison and wild boar. At a Tudor feast it was just as important for each dish to look spectacular as well as taste delicious. “Peacock Royal” was a particularly popular dish where the peacock was skinned, stuffed with dries fruits and spices, cooked and then placed back inside its feathered skin.

Dreaming of a peacock’s feather was a lucky sign. Such a dream signifies that you are about to find success in your professional life.
