| My medicine animal is the Wild Condor. It began as a walk in the high mountains, a pilgrimage, a vision quest. I went to purify myself of the outside world, a journey of refreshment. A night in deep thought, of struggle and of heartache, the moonlight as my guiding strength. The new day brought the vision, a lone feather falling from the sky. The wind took brought it to my feet...a life forever changed. Condor Medicine: High visions Independence soulful perspective Sensitive leadership Love of Mother Earth Death and Rebirth cycles Reasoning creativity inspiring teacher My spirit animal is the beautiful wild Condor. I include both Andean and California condors in my reference to "the condor" because they are two of the rarest birds on earth, and I love them both dearly. To the native people of the Peruvian Andes, Condor is the thunderbird of the heavens. Condor is impressive, and he has the largest wingspan of any bird of prey. Condor spends his life soaring high above the tallest mountain peaks in the Andes, and in North America. Condor is a symbol of nature's balance, predator vs. prey, perspectives ever changing. He is an ongoing symbol of the simple life, and of time standing in motion. Condor totem represents a burning desire to see different points of view. Perhaps argumentative at first, watchers soon see the reasoning creator and the sensitive leader within his/her spirit. Condor energy guides you to unexpected new heights of awareness. Perspectives change, and you start to see life on a bigger, grander scale, one that you never thought was ever possible to see with your own eyes. Condor people can see beyond their own earthly rules or limitations and reach the "peak" or high mountain strength necessary for your own life enrichment. Many long, solitary hours are spent in meditation, deep soul-urge driven thoughts, and writings. Condor people are creators...reasoning creators in that at times are uneasy, or unsure of their own powers. Condor medicine people are quick thinkers, and wise leaders. The sensitive leadership qualities they own may lead them to help others, take them "under your wings' so to speak. The potential for learning is very high, and the flight of the condor is always changing and going though cycles of transformation...death, birth, and rebirth. Letting go of the old, and bringing in the new. Condor people need intellectual stimulation, and crave discussions based on differing perspectives. The ultimate symbol of strength and healing lies within all of us, as long as we nurture it and feed its spirit. We can do anything, and must always return to nature to refresh and change perspectives. Follow nature's cycles as a life lesson in that change is the only constant. We are never along if we are at home within ourselves. Condor has taught me this. So I hold the beautiful feather...set is aside on my altar of spirits, and bring it with me back into the woods. And so I walk in the woods with Condor and Wolf, guiding me back inside myself to my roots of strength and determination, reasoning creativity and sensitive leadership. And so must you find your path. |
