About Mother of All Eagles: On the warm summer winds, Eagle Mother glides into our reality, carries us above our circumstances, and stretches our vision.
Among Native Americans, the Eagle Mother represents healing, her feathers often being used by shamans for this purpose.
Beyond this, she symbolizes comprehension, finally coming to a place of joyfully accepting our personal power over destiny.
To Do Today: On this day in 1982, President Reagan declared Bald Eagle Day to honor the American emblem of freedom.
In Native American tradition, this emblem and the Eagle Mother reconnect us with sacred powers, teaching us how to balance our temporal and spiritual life on the same platter.
