(Wednesday, April 13, 2016) moon: 1st quarter Leo / tarot: three of pentacles
Wednesday morning I drew a card from my round tarot deck, the three of pentacles. The background image is the Andes mountains. A woman wearing an Inca-style alpaca cap builds coil pots and fires them in an outdoor mud kiln while her little papoose observes.
Along my daily river walk there stands a tall, dead cottonwood tree where eagles often perch. Yesterday (Wednesday) as I neared the white bones of the tree, an eagle flapped his wings and landed on the very tip of the uppermost limb. I had been watching him soar with his mate. A third eagle was following the pair and I wondered if it was their yearling.
I was astounded and ecstatic when the second eagle joined her mate on the pale treetop. They both began to chortle and call and whistle loudly together. Their wonderful song went on for several minutes. I couldn’t believe my luck. No other human was around to experience this beautiful, joyful event.
I once took a silly online quiz: “What is your spirit animal?” Condor is what came up for me, and the website said the North American equivalent of the Andean condor is the eagle. When I checked my email yesterday evening, I had received a link to a lovely video by Alberto Villoldo, founder of the Four Winds Society in Chile. The logo for the Four Winds is a condor with outstretched wings.

What a lovely gift! I love that there were 3 eagles. Lots of spirits sharing with you!
