Birds are our strongest allies in the natural world. Revered in
Native American spirituality and shamanic traditions around the
world, birds are known as teachers, guardians, role models,
counselors, healers, clowns, peacemakers, and meteorologists. They
carry messages and warnings from loved ones and the spirit world,
report deaths and injuries, and channel divine intelligence to
answer our questions. Some of their “signs” are so subtle that
one could discount them as subjective, but others are dramatic
enough to strain even a skeptic’s definition of coincidence.
Pairing scholarly research with more than 200 firsthand accounts of
bird encounters from traditional Native Americans and their
descendants, Evan Pritchard explores the living spiritual tradition
surrounding birds in Native American culture. He examines in depth
the birds known as the gatekeepers of the four directions--Eagle in
the North, Hawk in the East, Crow in the South, and Owl in the
West--including their roles in legends and the use of their
feathers in shamanic rituals. He reveals how the eagle can be a
direct messenger of the Creator, why crows gather in “Crow
Councils,” and how shamans have the ability to travel inside of
birds, even after death. Expanding his study to the wisdom and
gifts of birds beyond the four gatekeepers, such as hummingbirds,
seagulls, and the mythical thunderbird, he provides numerous
examples of everyday bird sign interpretations that can be applied
in your own encounters with birds as well as ways we can help
protect birds and encourage them to communicate with us.
