There may be times in your day to day life when you come across an animal usually in the wild that gives you a moment to pause. An animal or bird that is. When you see an animal, especially more than once in a given time period, it usually means that animal has a message for you.
For me, at this time, it is the black vulture. I first saw a black vulture a week or so ago. I mean for the first time in my life. I was driving down the road to the post office and as I passed a small wooded area I saw a large black bird, the size of a wild turkey, feeding off of some carrion in the road. I knew it was a vulture, I just knew it. I looked it up later when I got home and realized I was correct. As I returned from the post office a few minutes later and then saw five vultures all coming out of the woods to feed on the dead animal in the road.
Then again today, I was passing another wooded area, in a different part of town, and was driving slow and I saw some large black shapes in the trees. I slowed down even further and saw about six or more black vultures sitting in the trees. They were large and looked very ominous, silently sitting, watching . . . waiting.
Having seen these black vultures for the first time ever in the last few weeks, made me aware that they were acting as a spirit totem animal for me and that they wished to let me know something. I looked up the magical property of black vulture and found a lot of information.
Vulture deals with life and death and new beginnings. It represents vital energy, year round. I believe vulture is telling me that my energy, that has waned over the past few years is on the upswing and that I will be getting my energy back. I have been feeling very good and healthy this past year and I think vulture is confirming this is going to continue.
Vulture also deals with connection to the Mother Goddess, whom I work with on a regular basis. For many years I would cast spells to make changes in my life always thanking the Goddess for helping me with them. Now I am at a place in my life where I cast less spells, I have arranged my life as I like it, and I simply commune with Goddess as one would an old friend. I think vulture coming into my life at this time also speaks to this.
The vulture has many magickal properties and can speak to you of many things. Here's a short list:
- Sense of allegiance
- Very ernest
- Perfectly patient (I'd been working on this one also!)
- Highly tolerant
- Looking to renew everything
- Making everybody equal
- Cleaning the environment
- Acute perception
- Highly protective
- Immune to heat
- Out of the ordinary
- Overtly resourceful
Pay attention to the animals and birds that pop up in your day to day life and do a little research to see what messages they may hold in store for you!
Peace and Happiness and Happy New Year!!!
