Double Rainbows

I saw one today. The inner brighter one was just amazing. It lasted SO long. I feel blessed I saw it esp as I 've been feeling fluey since yesterday.

Does anyone know the exact symbolism of rainbows/double raibows? I know they 're supposed to be auspicious signs, just looking for more info.

Thank you :)

Blessings,
Whatever

- "bridge" symbolism is high with regards to the rainbow

- sometimes taken as the bridge between what can and cannot be "perceived"

- in some traditionas the rainbow symbolizes one half of the "World Egg"

- elsewhere it symbolizes the connection between 'heaven' and 'earth'

- for the Greeks it is he goddess Iris

- with more research I am sure you may dig up other symblisms

- good hunting

finality,

Hi,

It was Karl Marx, I believe, who said: "Religion is the opiate of the masses". Religion certainly is highly symbolic, so what might we say about symbolism?

WHAT does it mean? Well, saints & Begorah, there's TWO lepruchauns and TWO pots of gold for the finding!! Or maybe you're just hallucinating from the flu :).....All kidding aside, a friend & I saw a triple rainbow & I doubt anyone ever saw two more surprised & awestruck faces..it was a jawdropper. We decided that better days were coming and they did. Course, coulda just been a coincidence! :)

peace & joy,

I was in a cab, Mr Cab Driver saw it too ;-)



a friend & I saw a triple rainbow

WOW!


I think the most important thing out of all the symbolic stuff: it's how it makes you feel. I felt so much joy in my heart when I saw it yesterday. That says it all, eh? :)

Holobon,

- Irish miracle??

- the photo of a double rainbow I have hanging in my office was captured by me in the Scottish Highlands

- so, Scottish lepruchauns????

- more likely some relatives of my pal Hamish the Haggis.

Dear Coyote,
Well, I do think there is a bit of a connection between the Scottish & the Irish & just maybe the little people do pop up over there once in a while though I doubt they go for the haggis...maybe the scotch? :)

peace & joy,

Well I don't know about double, or triple rainbows, what were you drinking?
I saw a corona rainbowish circle around the sun, by goodness, this must mean something. Hmm, a couple or days later it began to snow. so there you go.

Twice this week while watering plants a rainbow formed in the water spray....sometimes we create/manifest our own rainbows/miracles. :)

peace & joy,
