<h1>Soul dwelling
</h1>
In Mexican legend, hummingbirds inhabit the souls of warriors who died to protect their faith, and they become small hummingbirds in the palace of the sun, and hummingbirds return to Earth with the souls of warriors. In addition, they see the hummingbird as a sacred sun symbol that embodies the meaning of life, creation, inspiration and commitment.
<h1>Messenger of Mankind
In the legend of the Indians, human beings first lived in the center of the earth, which was too dark to survive, so they sent small, flying hummingbirds, hoping to find a suitable place for human habitation; hummingbirds, as messengers of human beings, lived up to expectations, discovered the path of light, and brought human beings from the dark center of the earth to the ground, and from then on, human beings began to live on the ground.
<h1>God the Creator</h1>
In native American legends, hummingbirds are seen as heroes, and in legends, hummingbirds, as creator gods, ask the gods to sow the seeds of plants on earth, let them germinate, and save humanity from hunger. In the South American tribes, the hummingbird is placed in the myth of the alliance, and the hummingbird takes the priesthood of rain in the alliance, in a sense, the hummingbird brings rain and thus also brings life, and is the giver of life.
<h1>other
In addition to the above, there are many legends about hummingbirds, for example, in Opsius in Northern Europe, when the people there have done wrong things and their hearts are tormented, they will repent to the hummingbirds, and the hummingbirds will take away all their sins. Elsewhere, hummingbirds are seen as symbols of love and luck.
Whether it is a human messenger, a sun god, or a creator god, these are some very positive symbolism, probably very beautiful and fit with the hummingbird itself. Animists, I hope these little guys can live well on Earth.
