"Clear-sightedness;
being observant.
Far-memory, or recalling past lives.
A message from spirit;
omens and dreams.
Over-coming problems.
Taking advantage of an opportunity.
The cry of a hawk in a mediation is
a warning of upcoming situations that will require boldness and decisiveness.
Courage, defense, wisdom, illumination,
new life, creativity, truth, experience.
Getting a large over-view so you can
make better decisions."
Animal Magick

I Have had many personal dream experiences with this elusive bird.
Those who know me understand, the hawk flys in and out of my dreams regularly. So I will honor Hawk and dive headlong into my most powerful and personally spiritual
totem.
Please check the blog archives for several
postings on hawk symbology.

The Hawk can be traced back to Anicent Egyptian dieties such as Horus, Ptah,
Rehu, Seker, and Amenti. A Greek messenger to Apollo, Hermes or Mercury as well as the goddess Circe
are all aspects of Hawk. The Pueblo called the Red-Tailed as red eagle and the feathers were used in healing ceremonies.
The Celtic traditions name the oldest creature the Hawk of Achill, a messenger between our world and the Otherworlds; graced
above all birds with more skill and strength. If you are graced by this archetypal image in dreamtime, you
will have much to choose from!
