Historically, white doves are known as symbols of peace and goodwill. They have occupied a prominent position as a symbol of purity and innocence in most cultures. A dove with an olive branch is universally recognized as a symbol of peace.
Because of their devotion to their mates, doves are also a symbol of chastity and unending love. They spend their days preening their mates, looking after each other, building their families and rearing their offspring. They are loyal to their mates until death. Their love for each other is never-ending.
Doves mate year-round, continually loving and kissing their mate. Both male and female doves sit on the nest, alternating shifts; once the babies are hatched, both produce special milk which they also take turns feeding to their young. Equality is natural in these loving, devoted birds. For this reason, doves are a beautiful symbol of chastity and undying devotion.
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was born from an egg brooded by a dove. In the earliest pagan religions, the dove was associated with female sexuality which has been associated with such goddesses as Astarte and Isis. To the Slavs, the soul would become a dove at death. To the alchemist, it was a symbol of sublimation. The Dove has been considered a bird of prophecy and can help you see what you can create in your life.
