My
beloved bike rides are SO much more to me than getting some exercise.
They are an opportunity for homeschooling mama to have a little time to
herself to recharge and to get out in Nature. So blessed to be
surrounded by so many trees and waters and the ocean and wildlife! It's
an opportunity for me to commune with the birds and dragonflies and
animals (and the occasional biker and hiker;)
And today I was awe- inspired by the flight and gorgeous wing span of a turkey vulture in flight. I sent it gratitude for all it does (aka, "the clean up crew;". I've noticed that city workers will take "road kill" and move it away from the side of the road and over by the trees. I'm sure it looks nicer, but I'm grateful as it keeps the turkey vultures safe.
In case the graceful flight of the vulture above me wasn't enough, as I was riding just a minute or so further, one of its feathers came gliding down and landed right in front of me! So grateful for the Medicine and Gift received from Turkey Vulture.
"The Cherokee know the Vulture as 'Peace Eagle', for the Turkey Vulture Kills Nothing.
The scientific latin name for vulture is Catharsis Aura ~ Golden Purifier.
The job vulture performs is a sacred service for all animal life forms. The toxins, pathogens and diseases that are possible as animals decompose and rot is substantial. The vulture was designed to clean this up. And with this purpose it accomplishes the Creators will with honor and no complaints.
The vulture does what needs to be done. It cleans up, protects, and is connected to the water as its guardian. To some vulture is ugly, but upon the invisible air it rides the current defying gravity with beauty and grace. Barley flapping a wing. Vulture teaches us that nasty jobs of great service are rewarded with great gifts!
The vulture mates for life, and lives in community upon a communal roost each night. This roost location varies each night. Each vulture 'clan' cleaning the territory as it sees fit. With communication that is transacted from many miles away, a vulture can see the flight patterns of its brethren, with eyesight ten times better than our own (not verified). A clan chieftan sends a signal that is relayed each evening, and a roost is selected. These roosts can be constant for many years and even generations. A system of roosts helps to ensure that the land is purified systematically. The roost is usually on a ridge that overlooks a river, and is normally in a spot that receives the last of the days sun, as well the first at sunrise. Each morning, the vulture clan turns to face the sacred Sun. Warming the feathers together in union before heading to work.
Eye contact with a vulture is easy. Just look at them and they see you.
The winged Egyptian Goddess Matt holds a vulture feather and can soar all day. Anubis, the jackal headed God, weighs your heart against Matts feather of truth. The Goddess Maat is protector of the Earth and her eyes are the eyes of the vulture ~ these eyes see all that we do, and will some day bring justice, truth and order. Rich and poor will be leveled in a struggle to survive. Nature's balance will be restored.
In Greek & Assyrian mythology, the (old world) vulture was believed to be descended from the griffin, the guardian of the mysteries of life and death."
