New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today is Save the Eagles Day. Eagles eat rabbits, fish, snakes, birds, and many other animals. Some eagle species are endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and pesticides. Eagles appear widely in mythology and heraldry. The bald eagle, America's national bird, is shown on many American documents and emblems. A black eagle spreads its wings on Germany's coat of arms. In Rome, the eagle represented the god Jupiter and symbolized the senate. The Turks and the Byzantine Empire used a two-headed eagle as their emblem. To honor the renowned bird, work to protect eagles and their habitat. Donate to a wildlife sanctuary or ask officials to strengthen environmental protections. As you do, say this charm to attract the Spirit of Eagle:
Strong wings and clear sight Guide us in our flight. You watch over all From your high blue hall. We will guard your home, Treetop and wave-foam. |
