Eagle feathers are sacred symbols. (It is illegal to own a real one in the United States without special permission.) The gift of eagle medicine comes to one who has been through a stretch of personal darkness. The vision of the eagle soaring through the sky is truly a redemption story! It is victory over all shadows and fear. Like a rainbow, it tells the story of rising over trouble to see the situation from a wide eagle-eye-view. If you feel called to work with Eagle in your healing work as totem medicine, know that you have found a powerful ally in your journey. This is a way to symbolize that bond where no sacred bird will ever be harmed. In love and unity consciousness ♥ love, stephanie xoxo
