Spiritual Meaning Of
Cockroaches

I am going to tell you a story that I hope you
never experience, a story about cockroaches.
So, you’ve just signed a lease to a brand new
apartment, it’s your dream apartment.
Everything is perfect about the location, the
price, the neighbors, it’s all exactly what you
want. You’ve been manifesting this
wonderful place to call home. Everything is
going according to plan. But, shortly after
receiving the keys, you open the door to find
roaches everywhere. Or maybe even just
one. Oh no! How could this happen? What
does it mean? What is the spiritual meaning
of cockroaches?

Well, as with most symbols, the spiritual

meaning of cockroaches depends on the
context in which you find them. Cockroaches
can show up when we feel unclean or need
to face the shadow aspects in certain areas
in our life. For example, in the story of
finding roaches in your dream apartment,
you might feel unworthy of living in that
particular place. However, while cockroaches
definitely aren’t everyone’s favorite insect to
see – believe it or not, cockroaches are
generally considered to be a good omen!

So, sit back and get ready to learn about the

good things headed your way when you see
a cockroach. In the meanwhile, if you have a
serious problem, feel free to call an
exterminator. Some things are worth the
peace of mind!

Positive Omens Of
Cockroaches
Despite their association with dirty
environments, cockroaches are actually
considered to be very good luck. Simply
because of their resilience and ability to lay
eggs. When cockroaches take over a place,
they are famously difficult to remove at time.
They are extremely adaptable and plentiful.
There is a longstanding belief that they
would even survive a nuclear blast! Because
of this, they are associated with abundance,
fertility, prosperity, longevity, and
conquering all odds. In many cultures it’s
believed to be a sign of incoming money
whenever one crosses your path.

It is also important to remember they are

circular in shape, representing the cycle of
nature, transformation, and rebirth.
Whenever you see a cockroach, spirit is
asking you to pay attention to areas of
change in your life. What might you need to
let go of in order to progress forward? All of
your actions are helping to usher in a new
beginning or chapter of your life.

It’s also surprising that cockroaches can

represent togetherness and harmony. Since
cockroaches often live in large numbers
together, it makes sense that they would be
associated with social skills. You might want
to pay more attention to communicating and
cooperating with others in order to achieve
your goals. What can you do to work better
with those around you?

Negative Omens
Of Cockroaches
One of the most obvious associations with
the cockroach is filth. Seeing cockroaches
might mean you feel dirty or unclean in
some spiritual sense. You are being asked to
look at why you might feel this way. Do you
have a low self-value? Are you tolerating
toxic behaviors from people in your life? Do
you have negative beliefs in your life?

Another memorable feature of the German

cockroach is that they quickly scuttle and
scatter when a light is switched on. On a
spiritual level, this might mean that you are
running from something you need to face.
You might have a fear that even if you
confront your problems, they might persist
or evade you much like the cockroach
retreats and hides in tiny corners. But,
remember the cockroach is versatile and
resilient. You have the ability to overcome
your problems. What parts of your life might
benefit from you facing your fears? What
might you need to accept to move forward in
life? Are you keeping things hidden in the
dark?

Is It Bad Luck To
Kill A Cockroach?
Despite the almost natural reaction to
squash a cockroach, there are some
surprising superstitions about killing them.
Some cultures actually believe it is very bad
luck to kill a cockroach. In the past in parts of
rural Russia, people actually encouraged
them to freely roam and multiply in their
homes. It was believed they brought in
abundance and good fortune. So, killing one
would be very undesired.

On the other hand, in some cultures they

believe it is very bad luck to not kill a
cockroach. Killing one can represent inviting
in a new opportunity, especially in matters of
abundance and fertility. It is sometimes
believed a new job opportunity will follow
after killing one. It is also believed if you do
not confront your problems, they will
overtake you. So, it’s best to squash a
cockroach at first sight before an infestation
takes hold and overwhelms you.

However, as with most superstitions, it’s all a

matter of belief. Listen to your intuition
when it comes to anything, even killing a
cockroach. Sometimes a bug is just a bug
that wandered in. But, the most important
thing is to pay attention to how you felt
when it happened. Did you feel as if you
were protecting your space from an invader
or unwelcome guests? Did you feel the roach
represented abundance before? Or, was it
simply something you barely remembered
doing until reading this article? Only take
meaning from what you felt at the time.

Spiritual Meaning
Of Roach
Infestations In
Your House
So, now we know the positive and negative
spiritual meanings of a single cockroach. But,
what about an infestation? That certainly
changes things! What’s the spiritual meaning
of cockroaches infesting in your home?

Anytime we are faced with an overwhelming

amount of anything, we are being asked to
pay close attention. While not particularly
pleasant, a roach infestation spiritually
actually means that you will overcome
whatever obstacles are in your way. You are
going through a period of transformation
and will be successful in the outcome. Keep
moving forward. You are resilient,
determined, and able to take on any
challenge in your way! (Including getting rid
of the infestation if that is your choice!) Make
sure to keep adapting, just like the cockroach
does and you will be successful as well.

It’s also important to note that seeing a

roach infestation in your home could be a
warning about upcoming changes relating to
your actual housing and shelter. It may be a
message that you can expect new abundant
housing opportunities, or that some
transformation may happen around your
home. While it’s impossible to say how it
relates to every unique situation, make sure
to keep an eye out for new positive changes!
After all, roaches are generally a sign of good
luck from a spiritual perspective.

Spiritual Meaning
Of Roaches In
Your Car
I actually had a friend ask me about this one
– what does it mean when there’s a
cockroach infestation in your vehicle? In this
case, my friend had moved some furniture
that happened to be infested with roaches.
And, guess what? The roaches very quickly
took up residence in the truck during the
ride. And, trust me, there’s nothing more
startling than having a roach crawl on you
while enjoying a car ride at night. Yikes! So,
what’s the spiritual meaning of cockroaches
in your car?

From a spiritual standpoint, your vehicle

represents how you travel along your
journey of life and where you’re going. The
car represents success, freedom, and taking
control, especially in areas of your career. So,
when creatures like cockroaches infest your
car, it’s a message to possibly expect positive
changes in your finances or employment
situation. After all, the cockroach represents
abundance, transitions, and resilience. For
example, in the case of my friend, shortly
after the truck infestation, they relocated for
a new lucrative job opportunity.

And, don’t worry too much during the

transition period. Roach infestations are
usually easy to control in cars. While
cockroaches have an amazing survival
instinct and perseverance, they generally
don’t do well in very cold temperatures or
without a food source. So, try to let your car
get cold, and maybe lay off hauling around
suspicious furniture in the meanwhile.

spiritual meaning of cockroaches

Are cockroaches good or bad, really?

Spiritual Meaning
Of A Flying
Cockroach
In the spirit of full disclosure, I’m originally
from the southern United States. And, one of
the joys of southern life, apart from
wonderful weather and sweet tea, are rather
large cockroaches. Or, sometimes we refer
to them as palmetto bugs or the red
cockroach. And, you know the best thing
about these creatures? When you try to
remove them from your home, they’ll
randomly fly and scare you nearly to death.
If you weren’t aware that cockroaches fly,
many species absolutely do. But, a lot of
people don’t know this which is why it’s often
a shock when a giant American cockroach or
palmetto bug takes flight in their home. So,
what’s the spiritual meaning of cockroaches
flying?

The spiritual significance of a cockroach

flying represents that your dreams and
manifestations are soon taking flight! That’s
right, whatever you are hoping to bring into
your life, especially concerning abundance,
are soon on the way to you. Whenever any
bugs fly around you, like dragonflies or
butterflies, it’s a message that the divine or
the spiritual realm is communicating with
you. And, that good things are on the way to
you, even if it’s a cockroach!

Also, the reason most people aren’t aware

that cockroaches fly is because it is very
energetically taxing for them. It takes a lot of
effort to fly due to their body weight. So,
they only fly when absolutely necessary.
Therefore, we can take the spiritual message
that it may be more challenging than we
expect to achieve our dreams. It may take a
lot of effort to get your dreams off the
ground. But, with the perseverance of the
cockroach, you will certainly achieve them!

cockroaches spiritual meaning

Have you ever found a cockroach eating your food?

Spiritual Meaning
Of Finding
Cockroaches In
Your Food
Ever find a cockroach happily snacking away
on your food? Never a pleasant sight to see,
even if cockroaches have an association with
good luck and abundance. So, what’s the
spiritual meaning of cockroaches in your
food?

In the spiritual realm, food represents your

physical resources and energetic reserves.
And, cockroaches can symbolize change in
areas of prosperity and abundance. So,
seeing cockroaches in your food is a spiritual
message to pay more attention to how you
manage your resources. Are you being
wasteful and leaving food out to spoil? Or,
are you planning for the future and carefully
managing your resources? You may want to
spend some time thinking about how you
relate to managing your resources such as
food and money.

On the other hand, seeing a roach in your

food could be a message to take a closer
look at your eating habits. Are you eating too
much junk and not enough healthy options?
After all, do you think a cockroach would be
more attracted to sugary cookie or a healthy
kale salad? Roaches can represent
abundance, but also the feeling of
uncleanliness. Make sure you’re feeding your
body what it requires in order to achieve
your goals, both spiritually and physically. As
always, listen to your own intuition and take
only the messages that resonate. If it’s not
for you, it may simply be someone else who
needs to hear it.

What Does It
Mean When You
Step On A
Cockroach?
If you’re wondering what it spiritually means
when you step on a cockroach, look no
further. Maybe you read that it’s bad luck to
kill a cockroach and are wondering if you’re
going to be cursed for the next seven years
or something. Well, probably not unless you
believe that to be the case. But, ultimately
the meaning behind stepping on a cockroach
really depends on how it happens.

For example, if you’re just walking along the

sidewalk and just so happen to randomly
step on a cockroach, it’s actually probably a
good omen. Since cockroaches represent
good luck and this encounter may have been
the only way you would have noticed this
omen. After all, it’s much more memorable
to notice stepping on a cockroach than
having one simply walk in front of you on the
street. Since there was no deliberate action
on your part in this scenario, abundance and
good luck are most likely still on the way to
you.

On the other hand, let’s say a cockroach has

been been irritating you for quite some time.
Or, you just find them to be really gross! And,
eventually you snap and stomp on it. No
judgement, I’ve definitely been there.
Sometimes you have to take a stand and
claim your home and space back.

So, are you cursed? Probably not. However,

you may want to spend some time looking at
how you react to your environment. After all,
cockroaches aren’t inherently irritating or
gross, your perceptions of them are. It’s a
