Eagle

The eagle is the bird of furthest vision. Many Indigenous traditions across the Americas treat the eagle as the bird closest to the Creator — a carrier of prayers, granted the highest sky. Roman legions carried the eagle as their standard. Jungian analysis reads eagle-dreams as the arrival of a wider perspective — the capacity to see one’s life from altitude. An eagle that approaches you is often a numinous encounter worth recording; an eagle’s feather offered, a blessing of vision. Notice the eagle’s altitude and whether you can meet its eye.
