hawk perched on my balcony

Post by tkgirl »

Today I was shocked to see this HUGE hawk perched outside on my balcony. It was amazing! It stayed out there for a really long time and let me get really close to it. I feel it may have been some sort of spirit visiting me... it's presence really stirred my soul, but in a nice, calming way... does this make any sense? Anyways, I was wondering what this could actually symbolize for me. It is interesting timing as I am planning to do some spellwork tomorrow evening after taking a long break from it... hmmmm...
any ideas? anyone?
thanks! :)

Hi TK girl,

I'll have to look this one up- and my book is at home, so it'll have to be tonight that I finish the post. (I'll come back by after I get home, many hours from now).

From what I know/remember though, the hawk symbolizes solar energies and the qualities of observation and clear-sightedness; to aid in helping reactions come from swiftness, courage and strength rather than rash judgments.

-That's at least something to start with. On a personal note, I believe the creature and the magical attributes it has is not the more important aspect... the visit itself is.

Bright Blessings!

Ok, I'm finally home, so here's what I've got:
Hawk (Magical attributes)- "Clear-sightedness; being observant. Far-memory, or recalling past lives. A message from spirit; omens and dreams. Overcoming problems. Taking advantage of an opportunity. The cry of a hawk in meditation is a warning of upcoming situations that will require boldness and decisiveness. Courage, defense, wisdom, illumination, new life, creativity, truth, experience. Getting a larger over-view so you can make better decisions.

Chant:
Soaring, gliding, wind current riding,
Hawk of wisdom, creativity.
Seeking, hover, bright Sun-lover,
Bring inspiration now to me.
"


-Hope that helps!

~Blessed Be~

This is a spirit that has come to visit you... has anyone recently passed to the spirit world or perhaps was it the anniversary of a loved one's passing?

Perhaps if you believe in them, try finding a reputable spiritualist/medium just to see if spirits have any messages for you.

Hope this helps.
