What’s Your Power Bird?
September 16, 2007
Your Power Bird is a Swan |
 You are a truly graceful and gorgeous creature. You easily see beauty in yourself and others. Intuitive and in touch, you can often guess what the future will bring. And you’re flexible enough to accept the changes that life has in store for you. |

Eagle
You are spiritual and able to soar to great heights.
You are a true inspiration, and many people look to you for guidance.
And you are quite demanding in relationships… but you’re worth it.
People know that you will become even greater than you imagine.
I’m not really surprised as I see bald eagles every day.
Thanks for the opportunity to participate. :)

I remember at the onset of all of “this,” mid-1998, a few years before I discovered “animal totems,” and the wonderful significance of them… I had these large post boards that I’d painted black, I made several collages, some beautiful pics — eagles were all over them :) I also had a pair of stunning kinda honey-vanilla-colored wild horses on there — so beautiful. Have always loved horses. I see strength, power and freedom in both the eagle and the horse.
I love the dignity of the eagle, its strength…and it’s such a handsome bird.
Here’s one interpretation for the eagle totem…
Spirit, Healing, Creation
The eagle is symbol of the zenith.
A great reminder of your own ability to soar
to great heights.
Eagles are messengers from heaven
and are the embodiment of the spirit of the sun.
Those with an Eagle totem need to have
an involvement with creation;
a willingness to experience extremes;
a willingness to use your ability
even if it means getting “scorched” a little as you
fly high;
a willingness to seek out your true emotions.
A demanding totem, but one that offers so much reward at the end of the journey.
Its four-toed feet remind you to stay grounded even went soaring high;
Its talons remind you to grasp the things of the earth;
Its sharp beak shows you when to speak, how much, and how strongly.
This totem will show you opportunities and how to ride the winds to your benefit.
Eagle people can live in the realm of the spirit
yet still remain connected and balanced within the realm of the Earth.
You must become much more than you ever dreamed possible.

Here’s another…
Eagle: symbol of Spiritual Energy, freedom, power
The eagle is revered as sacred. Living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence - high-soaring eagles are believed to touch the face of God. Eagle feathers are a symbol of power and healing.
The eagle teaches us to remain connected to our spiritual realms. Eagles have excellent vision - they inspire true insight that will bring us to a more spiritual place in the universe. It is also said to offer protection from bad energy. The eagle is the symbol of higher spiritual energy.
The eagle also teaches us about patience, perched in a tree for hours on end. An eagle totem will guide you to courage, keen vision, connection with a greater spiritual energy, and the freedom this will bring.

Here’s one for the cardinal…
The Cardinal
The cardinal is a power packed bird that transforms and awakens us. Its color and its voice are its two strongest characteristics. It is a member of the finch family and is often recognized by its brilliant red color.
The eggs laid by the female hatch in about twelve days. This, along with the cardinal being a year round resident, reflects the rhythm of the number twelve. The number twelve often has important significance for those with this totem. It can indicate a turn of events or a life changing situation. When the cardinal flies into your life expect a change to occur within 12 days, 12 weeks, 12 months or at the hour of 12. Because this bird is a year round resident its medicine is available at all times and should be used by those with this totem whenever a need arises.
Cardinals have a loud whistle, Whistles penetrate the air with sharp distinct tones. They demand our attention urging us to hear what is carried through the air. Both male and female cardinals join in the whistling. This reflects the need to integrate our male and female characteristics into our day to day life. Feminine energy is linked to intuition. Male energy is linked to perseverance. If both are operating within our life our intuitive knowledge has the perseverance and strength necessary to manifest our goals and dreams.
Cardinals eat many decaying weeds and injurious insects. When a cardinal appears in your life it is telling you to pay attention to your eating habits. Are you eating things that might be injurious to your health? IS your diet nutritionally balanced? Extra care should be given to the blood and circulatory system. Past life ties to overindulgence or the consumption of poisonous substances is often linked to cardinal medicine people.
The bright red color of the cardinal is very symbolic. Red represents the blood or life force of the Mystic Christ. In yoga circles this vital force is known as the kundalini. The kundalini lies dormant within us until activated by a disciplined spiritual practice. Once activated spiritual power can be attained. The cardinal offers safe passage into the world of personal power for those who ask for its help.
When a person with cardinal medicine steps onto a spiritual path there will be no turning back. Everything else in their life will seem insignificant. Extra care must be taken here to insure personal happiness, particularly in the area of one to one relationships. Balancing spiritual ideals and physical pleasure will need to be instated in ones life so harmony on all levels is known.
Cardinals are named for the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church with their bright red robes. A great love or a strong dislike for religion and churches is common amongst cardinal medicine people and can indicate a past life connection with one or both.
The cardinals voice is strong and clear and reflects an air of importance. This power packed bird can teach you how to express your truth, develop confidence and walk your talk. If you respect its teachings it will lead you home.

It is my view that each of us who have been drawn to this thread have all of the above-mentioned totems at this time :) and it would likely behoove us to listen to each of their messages. Like attracts like. Always. The energy that is right here is the energy/messages for us…or we wouldn’t be here :)
