Spirit Animal Experience...

I had a very deep experience the other day and wanted to share it with you all...

I had taken a last minute trip with a friend to the casino, we lost On the way home, I suggested that we go to sit in a park in my town...We parked my car, and I felt something watch me...I turned my head and there was a falcon/hawk sitting on a cut down log and staring at me... I was like be very quiet and look to the left...She said oh my god, and her mouth dropped open...So I said to her, I wonder if that is the entity showing the protection I requested in a recent ritual...Then the hawk turned its head, pulled out a feather and dropped it onto the ground and continued to sit there not taking it's gaze off of my eyes...She was like I think that is a gift for you I will go grab it... I said well I don't want the hawk to get scared. She said is it ok if I come get it to the hawk and the bird moved about 4 feet and sat there while she got it, ignoring all the little animals it would have been trying to attack for food, and even the car door sound...It sat there watching us until we left...I looked up the spiritual meaning of a hawk and it is a messenger from the gods they say, and a sign of deep spiritual progression, especially if you find a feather, never mind get given one by the bird...What do you think of this...I feel this was better than any $$$ we could have won that day...

I would have to say, it is a sign of sorts. Not many animals of the wild would stay put for long with others present let alone pulling one of its feathers out for you. Impressive!!!

Witchmark, thank you for replying It was so amazing...I am still in awe...and I can't find anything online about an animal giving a feather to anyone...Just about it being a big honor being given one in Native American culture by a human, or just finding one on your path in other cultures...I'm hoping one day to find more knowledge on the particulars of this sort of encounter...When I pulled in the lot, he was not on the log...He or she sat there watching me for a good 15 min and didn't leave until I left...

Anika Sinata Asti: Very interesting your story... Perhaps, Maxx can give you some great tips. According to Don Juan this is an omen magic with alot of meanings. Carlos Castaneda had the same vision of a Hawk and Don Juan explain him great things...

Read Journey to Ixtlan - Carlos Castaneda. (There is a PDF version in Internet.. Hope you like it).

Good Luck and Enjoy.

Stalker...thank you for the advised reading...I am going to definitely do that I posted a picture for you all to see of the feather the hawk/falcon gave me...

The feather is beautiful! Wonder what your dreams will tell you?

Sinata, that is a wonderful story. I think the best you can do is not worry so much about what it means but rather wrap your mind around the present moment- and the fact that it happened. Maybe you could meditate with the feather in your hand, blank out your mind, and see if it takes you some where. And definitely be on the alert for more signs. This could be just the start.

Happy journey.

@Witchmark, nothing about it in my dreams as of yet...If anything comes up, I will post it

@Syrianeh, I am glad you enjoyed my story...I am still in awe of it to be honest...I am keeping my eyes wide open on this for more signs, and thank you for the meditation idea...I will definitely have to try that...I have been in the middle of moving for the past few days, and am getting settled in my new place...

Go ahead, Sinata Anika Asti.

That was such a nice experience. Thank you very much for taking your time to share it with us around here. More people should follow your example!

@ Stalker...

@ Jonathan...It was my pleasure to share the experience...It is/was too intense not to...I have never heard of a Falcon/Hawk "literally" giving anyone a feather, and have not even been able to get any information on this exact scenario on-line...It was primitive, primal, and ethereal all at once...A reminder of the interconnectedness between man, animals, and the gods...This particular messenger is significant across the globe, from Ancient Egypt to the Americas...Why keep something so sacred to myself?
