Red-Tailed Hawk the Totem

The hawk is the messenger. It often appears in our life when we need to pay attention to the subtle messages all around us that are so easily missed in the day to day business of "living our lives." We need to search within ourself and our world and then listen to what the hawk is speaking to the inner man.

Hawks seem to possess the power to move between the seen and unseen worlds. They have acute vision and with this broader vision they can see beyond the present into what "may lie ahead."  

Those who possess the hawk totem can tend to be introspective and analytical. They have to be reminded to take in the broader range of vision and focus on the end result rather than allow themselves to be burdened down by constant small details. They will miss the prey if they are unable to do so.

When hawk flies into our life we will be asked to evaluate who we really are and who we have become and tear away the illusions of what we think we are. A bird that flies the heavens, hawk signifies union with the great Creator and a hunger for the spiritual things to feed our inner soul.
