The one Question that is asked of me the most is...

Who are you Shadow Eagle..

To Examined that you need to know that my name is of the Native American
Indian Tribe of many.


In ancient Egypt and Babel the eagle was;

The symbol of the noon sun, which signified the Great Spirit.

A sermon written by T. Rhonda Williams explores the tradition within the
English church of placing the bible on the outstretched wings of an
eagle, and concludes;

In sacred symbolism the eagle stands for that power of rising above the
earth, above the physical and the literal, into the heavens of rarefied
faith, a mystic intuition, and a penetrating spiritual intuition.

Many native cultures accept, with some variances, that;

The eagle carries prayers to the creator.

This description of the connection between the holy spirit and the eagle
from an unknown source, includes reference to the nature and the power
of the eagle spirit;

The message to the soul appeared through the higher side of the
consciousness. It sped forth with a directness and sureness of aim that
might be compared to the flight of an eagle, which is a symbol of the
holy spirit descending. It took possession of the soul mightily, so that
it had to express outwardly that which was communicated to it from
within.


In Types Of Genesis, A Jukes suggests;

The eagle's lofty flight and keen vision represent but another form of
the same divine spirit.

According to Swedenborg;

Flying eagle signifies the divine truth of the word as to knowledge and
thence understanding.

To the Egyptians;

The eagle was the messenger to the gods and the sun, a symbol of eternal
life.

To the Romans;

The eagle was the carrier of Jupiter's thunderbolts and a sign of power,
which was adopted as a symbol of the Roman emperors, and was carried
before the Empire's legions.

To the Greeks;

The eagle was the messenger to the Greek God Zeus, and Zeus took the
form of an eagle when he carried his young lover Ganymede to Mt.
Olympus.


A more detailed meaning of the eagle to Native American cultures is;

Eagle represents a state of grace that is reached through inner work,
understanding and passing the initiation tests that result from
reclaiming our personal power. Eagle Medicine is the Power of the Great
Spirit. It is the spirit of tenacity. It is the gift of clear vision
with which one can truly see the things one sees. It is the patience to
wait for the appropriate moment. It is to live in balance with heaven
and earth. Eagle reminds us of our connection with the Great Spirit. It
tells us that the universe is giving us the opportunity to fly above our
life's worldly levels, or above the shadow of past realities. Eagle
teaches us to look above in order to touch Grandfather Sun with our
heart, to love the Shadow as much as the Light. Eagle asks us to grant
ourselves permission to be free in order to reach the joy that our heart
desires.



The Eagle represents:Spirtuality or clarity to see all
The Shadow: Means a Struggle

I am a Spirtuality presences that breaks through the struggle and sees
all and tries to either set things right or on the right track. I am
also the one when i say that iam always with you.. That's because i

tradition of who the Spirt Guide of the sky is...
