Animal speak: The Eagle

Has the eagle flown into your life?
Perhaps via a dream... Perhaps you often see Eagles in the most unexpected places... Eagle is a very powerful symbol. This picture gives a brief account of Eagle medicine:

Animal Speak: The Lizard

The lizard is a powerful spirit animal who symbolises ability to escape danger and  regeneration. Just as he sheds his tail to escape a danger, he symbolises the importance of leaving the 'old' (ideas/beliefs/lifestyle etc) behind for our betterment. He also symbolises our power to regenerate....

The Animal Speak, The Leopard

The leopard awakens the hunter. Symbol of fierceness, he makes us aware of a power within us that we didn't know about or had forgotten.
Perhaps the lack of access to that power/trait allowed you to hurt yourself. With leopard in your life, that power rises up and brings about healing by raising the primary sources of those hurts.

The Animal Speak: Owl and Kestrel

(About seeking and receiving help/guidance)

The picture for this post is the one showing a tussle between an Owl and a Kestrel. This picture guides us in our time of 'feeling stuck' or clueless...

Both Kestrel and Owl promote
a mindfulness.
Owl says "See
beyond illusion" (active) and Kestrel says "Pay attention to unfolding events" (passive)
Owl tells is to explore the magic of life with discernment and to "Seek subtle signs" while Kestrel adds "Let your inner power and shape your future, go with the flow"

Together they imply that help is around but try and be active in seeking it.

Owl:

wisdom and intuitive knowledge.
see beyond illusion and deceit. .
inspiration and guidance necessary to deeply explore the unknown and the magic of life.
change

discernment

The mysteries of life and appreciation for life’s magic.

Listen and look out for the subtle signs around you: guide to uncover your hidden potential and abilities.

Kestrel:

Accuracy of movement, speed and grace, mental concentration, acting at the correct moment, patience, precise action.

They perch, swoop down, hover and attack.
Kestrel people frequently have the urge to sit or be placed in a position with expansive views.
Strong desire to spend time alone/independent.
Suited for planning.

Discover ones personal rhythm and act accordingly.
Broader vision 
When to act and when not to.

Stimulate your mental powers and move speedily and smoothly into the future that you desire.
Go with the flow.
Paying attention to unfolding situation

Blessed be,
Love,

The Animal Speak: The Cat

I am been guided for a long time now, to do a lot of things, one of which is connecting all of us with the spirit world of the animals.
I was told to use natural pictures that inspire, thus I haven't used eye catching fantasy art but raw pictures (that I deny any ownership of) that should ideally imply the message.

I sought the first animal and the Cat popped up.

Observe the picture carefully and
you can see most of the characteristics
attributed to the cat. She is smart even
in her innocence. She is keen, curious
and wise. She isn't confused. She seeks
with patience. Fearless, she explores.

If you think you can associate with these characteristics, then Cat is your spirit animal. However, if you were thinking intensely about an issue and you have "accidentally" bumped into this post, then please do consider the words to be the advice to you.

Have a magickal day!

Blessed be,
Iyah

A Flight to Seek

"Come fly with me" said one, and away it flew after looking up at me for a brief moment. Admiring the beauty of his fluid flight, I looked at his partner. She sat there, perched atop a tree that looked barely alive.
Moonlight made her snowy wings glisten and she looked divine and beautiful. I had this urge of tending to her. Perhaps cuddle her, pet her, feed them both daily. But the food for the owls are best left for them to seek for no one can see their prey better than the owl himself. The silent navigator through the mysteries of great nights, an owl is the silent achiever. "He is usually that brief, I apologise. Do come, dear, fly with us, great heights can be scaled should you so choose! Through nights alone can you dwell in the glory of a dawn! Seek within yourself. You know what you seek, now, don't you honey?"
She kept looking at me for many minutes before she followed the first owl and flew away.
Do I know what I seek?
I kept wondering.
I seek what we all seek: food, clothes, a job, a family etc. Isn't this what we all need?

Need... A tricky word.
How do we ascertain what we need? More than often we presume that something we want is something we need.

What do we need?

I don't know, I realised. Perhaps I should fly through the night and search...
