Bat Symbolism Click here to shop for Bat Jewelry .
Bats are symbols of rebirth - the facing of fears and being reborn.
Through this we learn to release fear and anything which does not fit with our new growth. Bats have unfortunately developed alot of negative symbolism. The Chinese were one of the few exceptions, because to them, the bat symbolized good fortune and great happiness. They also maintained that the bat flies head downwards because of the weight of its brains. In Babylonia, bats were symbols of the dead.
