Description
Some turkey vultures stay in the desert southwest of the United States all year around, but the majority return from Mexico in the spring. The picture was taken on March 17, 2017 about 50 miles south of Phoenix. No other bird is as graceful in flight as the turkey vulture - they are the black stallions of the sky. I’ve done several videos about them that you can watch on my YouTube channel at: http://youtube.com/waywardmuse
From a shamanic perspective, the Turkey Vulture represents Purification, Death and Rebirth, and New Vision. Turkey Vulture is the avenger of the nature spirits. Often maligned and and certainly misunderstood, these servants of the Great Mother do not kill. They eat the left-overs, cleaning her body for us. They have no real voice because it’s better to do than to talk about doing. In flight their wings don’t move much reflecting that the power does not come from them. They simply use what’s available. They represent the alchemical stage of sublimation establishing a new relationship between the volatile and the fixed, the psychic energies and the cosmic forces, the beauty and the beast, for as above, so below. Turkey vulture is the promise that suffering is temporary and necessary for a higher purpose, even if not fully understood.
