The falcon, messenger between sky and earth
The falcon opens the Native American wheel: it is the first of the twelve totems and matches the beginning of spring, when nature wakes up. Its drive and energy allow it to rise, literally and spiritually.
For many peoples, birds of prey link the sky and the earth: the falcon is a messenger, the one who carries the words of the spirits to humans. Like the owl, it is a solar animal, both admired and feared. It carries a bright light that shows the way but can also burn: it is a spiritual guide as much as a destructive force.
👉 The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world: when diving on its prey, it exceeds 300 km/h (about 190 mph).
