THESE GUYS landed on the transmission tower behind our construction shop. WTF?! We scrambled out of the building to catch a glimpse of their magnificence. Wow! What a blessing! Eagles showed up at work on a Friday! All is possible!
The Lion’s Gate Portal on 8/8 is an annual celestial event that marks seasonal movements of the stars in relation to the earth. The heavenly bodies align in certain geometries that correlate to seasonal shifts in our lifeways. You can read about that here. The eagles entered our reality the day before – a harbinger of change and possibility. The auspiciousness of their visit at this time marks a portal opportunity because their presence isn’t normal. We just don’t have eagles in our suburban town. Something new rippled through the matrix.
Portals open and close for us all the time. You just have to pay attention to spot them. In Faery trad witchcraft we are taught to watch for those moments when the elements are in obvious interplay around us – when the sky kisses the misty sea or the trees open to the clouds framed by the green of new leaves.
Spiritual work entails breaking down inauthentic parts of what we think are fundamental to our sense of self but which really are artificial stories we inherited — that eagles portending the ancient Lion’s Gate portal is meaningless coincidence. Nonsense! Life makes sense as we observe it’s sacred complex rhythms and cycles that create meaningful patterns. And this force of nature is way, way bigger than the limiting stories we tell ourselves to fit into something like our day jobs.
We are spiritual beings, ancestrally equipped – hardwired even! – to recognize when our environment shifts toward something quantumly magical that offers a potential to reflect and transform our thinking, our spiritual progress, and even our physical health. The correct response in these moments is to embody gratitude for our existence in that moment. Wow. We got to see eagles on a Friday in a place they never come! This event broke our boredom and made us question what we thought we understood about the day.
This crazy-assed evolutionary historic period in which we find ourselves floundering every day includes surprising inclusions of spirit into our habitual mundane lives. They often appear as harbingers of a portal of opportunity — a moment in time and space to stop, realize the mystery of life and open to healing and transformation. Just stop running on the hamster wheel for a nano-second! When you see eagles on a Friday be smart enough to stop and say a prayer of gratitude.
Honestly then, the blessing come. Wheel of Fortune in the Tarot marks a change of legacy and abundance when we realize the gifts already being bestowed upon us. Pay attention to the sacred around you (Gratitude) and life will change (Abundance) ! That is the glorious spell. Bless!
Blessings to all sentient beings in this time of transformation. Thank you for all your gifts and pains and pleasures that feed the wheel of our yugas, our karmas and our evolutionary trajectory. We are blessed by our ancestors the Great Eagles and engage in life courageously for good off all. Bless, bless, bless. Namaste! From the Blue Dog Temple. Woohoo!
