One of our most Majestic Native Raptors
The top Photo arrived via an E mail without a source...
but here is a link to read all about them...
I love to just sit and watch them circling for hours
Spotting their prey and then diving at what seems like "crash force"
to make the kill...
Lifting off with grace and speed to a nearby tree to indulge in their well earned meal..
Since the dawn of time...
Man has held an admiration and lived in awe of the power and majesty of
the big birds of prey...
Statues in their honour were carved to be worshiped

Man has held an admiration and lived in awe of the power and majesty of

Creating Mythical Beasts...
bearing a combination of both animal and human like forms..
Creating costumes and sacred dress mimicking the bird objectified...
Giving them human form and revering them as a Gods...
Adorning the body and clothing with feathers from the bird worshiped
Imbued within the wearer a sense of spirit power, giving the wearer a connection and sense of wisdom and magical power attributed and associated with the bird...
Statues in their honour were carved to be worshiped
Egyptian God Horus Today's Man it seems... continues with many of these ancient practices... And even feathers are optional it would seem!.... |
Some practices are worth worship
And others are...Well... Just Silly....
