Once a month I’ll be posting a new Spirit Animal*. This is both for me to study and learn, but also to help inspire each month.

This month the animal made itself known to me within moments of moving into our new home, because they are everywhere around it.

The Hawk.

The very first animal guide that ever came to me to grant me lessons several years ago was the hawk. At the time it helped me to see that I needed to dive deeper into my spiritual side. I took the lesson and did so, and it helped me immensely.  This past 6 months has tested everything, including that very spiritual side.

In the past few weeks, the Hawk has returned again. Sure, hawks are everywhere in Florida — but there are times when they are more than just present. Like when it flies right in front of my face before perching on a light. Or flies alongside my car for a couple of miles to perch in a tree above my house. I’m telling you, sometimes these creatures are beyond insistent.

So it’s time to listen again, to the lessons of the Hawk.

What does the Hawk tell you?

He urges you to look at things from a higher perspective, see the big picture instead of the smaller details.

Study your divination tools and rely on your readings of them. Rapid spiritual development and awareness are often the message he brings.

Use your powers of observation. Focus on the task at hand. Step back and use that higher perspective to see what’s holding you back.

Most importantly, you have a clear vision. Use it.

The hawk’s sharp eye is your guide when he visits.  Use how you need it most. To gain a higher perspective, to open your spiritual awareness, the gift of sight from that higher viewpoint. The perspective you need to see everything clearly.

Considering how muddled I’ve felt lately. I’m going to once again dive deeper into my spiritual life, and look at the things that have been holding me back and/or down, and see the big picture. I’ve been so focused on the small details that I’ve lost my perspective.

What animal is speaking to you this month?  Do they have lessons for you?  

*Disclaimer: I use the term Spirit Animal with deepest respect to the Indigenous people.  I have been studying under an amazing, powerful indigenous woman and I respect their beliefs in the highest. I use the term with much honor, and not as a joke or meme. I truly believe these animals come as messengers for me, and try to learn under them. Miigwetch.
