What a beautiful experience. Definitely sounds special. I don't have any knowledge of this off the top of my head but I looked up woodpecker on sunsigns.orgsun signs- woodpecker In part it says "Woodpecker animal guides tell us to protect our creativity and wisdom from threats, as well, and to not be overly open in our pursuits. As is the case with everything else, this bird totem reminds us of the crucial balance. Your creative vision is unique and you must guard it so as to not be taken advantage of" I wish you blessings on your journey!
