The event
Time: During the day
Date: Three occasions in 2006
Place: My flat at Lange Gasse 24/1, Wiener Neustadt
I was 49-50 years old. I had three encounters with a totem animal, an eagle.
In her book, Celtic Wise Woman, Dilys Gater describes an exercise to prompt you to meet your totem animal.
First time: I did the exercise and while doing that, I looked around in spirit and saw a spiritual eagle circling, quite high and far away.
Second time: I did the exercise again. I was expecting the eagle. Sure enough, I saw it, and this time it was much closer.
Third time: I wasn’t doing the exercise. The eagle suddenly appeared on my left side and eyeballed me in the left eye. This lasted for half a second. The left side represents the future. The future to which the eagle referred became clear to me later.
Background
The background for these encounters is the exercise described by Dilys in the section, Finding your Totem Animal. Dilys explains that the type of totem animal isn’t necessarily permanent for us — we can have a different animal at different times of life.
Thoughts and theories
Nothing to record.
Afterword
I did the exercise a few more times but didn’t see the eagle again or any other animal.
