THE EAGLE - WAMBLI


 In the Native American tradition, Eagle (Wambli in Lakota) is the most sacred of birds, because eagle is the one that flies the highest, in order to reach the Great Spirit. Eagle feathers have great power for the people and they are given in honor of acts of courage. They are sacred tools used for blessings, prayers, ceremonies and cleansing the aura. Eagles are now a declining species and therefore they are protected. It's illegal to possess eagle feathers, except for some tribal people. Eagles have great strenght and the ability to soar, besides an acute vision, and because of these features eagle is connected with the Creator, Great Spirit.
Eagle medicine can lift us into the realm of spirits and bring us illumination, insight and clear vision concerning our life and the path that we should follow, the path ahead of us, which is visible from the eagle's heights.
