Hawk

The hawk is focused sight in flight. Egyptian tradition gives us Horus with a falcon’s head — the god of kingship whose eye restored becomes the udjat. Many Indigenous traditions treat hawk as a messenger — close enough to the human world to bring news. Jungian analysis reads hawk-dreams as a sharpening of attention: something in the dreamer’s life has come into focus. Notice whether the hawk stoops (a sudden insight arriving), circles (an attention still searching), or lands nearby (a message awaiting receipt).
