Spotted an orb and think it may have some type of spiritual meaning? It could, depending on a ton of factors. Orbs might have meaning, or they could be photographic artifacts, bugs, or even dust.
Orbs are controversial in the paranormal community, but some may stand out as being particularly significant, especially when they appear self-illuminated. You may see these spirit orbs with your naked eye or capture them in a photo or video seemingly appearing or moving with purpose. Analyzing the size and color can help you discern the spirit orbs' meanings and if they have a message for you.
Need to Know
How do you tell the difference between a spirit orb and a photographic artifact? In photos and videos, it's nearly impossible, which is why so many people discount them. If you spot one in real-time, then it may be a spirit orb if it is self-illuminated, moves with purpose, and/or has no logical explanation.
Spirit Orbs Meanings by Size
Smaller orbs versus larger orbs may have different meanings. Why does size matter? Because the size may indicate how much energy a spirit has to manifest and thus create an orb of significant size or density.
Large orbs indicate more energy and may demonstrate:
- Intense emotion
- High-frequency spiritual energy, such as Divine energy
- A higher degree of spiritual evolution
- A ghost or a lost soul
Small orbs contain a lower frequency or less energy. It's important to recognize that some orbs may be caused by natural phenomena. Small orbs may be caused by water particles and not supernatural energies. Smaller spirit orbs may also indicate:
- A low-frequency spirit, nature spirit, or elemental
- A natural phenomenon that's not related to the spirit world, such as dust, bugs, or light artifacts
13 Spirit Orb Colors and Their Meanings
Spirit orbs differ from ghost orbs. Generally, their meanings focus on messages from Divine spirits or the way a spirit such as a guide or an angel can manifest, while ghost orbs always tell you something about the human soul that's creating the orb, such as a mood or message. Orbs may come in virtually any color. Since light is visible energy, and colors are created by light's vibrational frequencies, you may be able to determine either the meaning of a spirit orb or what type of spirit it is by its color.
