In Ancient Egypt, the belief was that a hawk-headed spirit called “ba” would fly off a mummy to come back among the living as a hawk or swallow. The hawk symbolized a part of the soul that would be freed up after death and come back to the world of the living in the shape of a bird. It was also the animal of choice for the god Horus, god of the sky, who was represented with a hieroglyph depicting a falcon or hawk.

I have hope…I’m a driver in New York, yesterday I saw two red tail hawks. The first one I saw flew so close to the vehicle that it passed in front of my windshield. Their Was a instant connection to me. I felt it meant something. Later on I saw another one glide past me again, now I knew it was a sign..
I got home from work today and my significant other 16 years, packed all his stuff and left his keys on the dining room table. I cried in disbelief… afterwards while thinking, the two Hawks I saw yesterday came to mind. I started to look up what it could mean…and after reading all these comments…Im thankful…I have hope for a better future. I’m going to prosper and be strong!

I travel a lot because of my work; and when I’m on the road, I constantly spot hawks in route to wherever I’m going! When my family is with me, and I see a HAWK, I ask my family members “Did you see that Hawk??” And they will say, What Hawk? At first, I thought I was the only one to see them, (Or wanted to see them), but now I understand that the Hawk is directing me into my spiritual being and guiding me into many business affairs in the positive, than what I ever expected! I always look forward and I enjoy seeing the hawks during my travels; they more or less give me a sense of protection during my travels. My Granddaughter now travels with me, on occasions; and she is beginning to see them also! I am at peace every time I see them!!
I must be bold in saying that we are all connected to the earth and our spirit animals. They appear when their gift is apparent and needed in our lives. At times I hear a female fox cry in the distance or a doe may appear with her fawn. Today it was the Hawk beautiful and stately on the top of a tree. I feel they come to all of us with their messages for our daily lives. We must be at peace and listen and hear their wisdom.. This world is so full of noise and distractions we can not see or hear what is being conveyed to us. Open your hearts and be silent and drink in the bounty that mother earth sends to us in messages and warnings, ” go softly into this world. and see.”
Love and Peace
Thank you such wise words!
Thank you
So true, my experience yesterday was a very spiritual one, leaving work, up a path, I looked up and there were two Hawks on a cable wire, side by side, a little bit apart, one facing forward and the other facing backward, soooo beautiful, I looked up and said thank-you, continued my day.still reflecting on that day
I’ve always had a connection with our New Zealand native Hawk as far back as I can remember, for myself they are my guide and protector of immediate danger both day or night. I’ve always felt a need to reflect on my daily routines not so much my long term goals.
These beautiful birds have always been apart of my life over time I have given it the name Kahu lol Forever grateful for my connection to Kahu.
After the quiz it stated my animal is the crow. I see alot of hawks and wanted to see what it says too. After thinking more tho i feel like birds in general are my thing. Ive observed them watching people and communicating and no one notices them. They are curious about us and watch over everyone. When they notice me they fly closer and cock their heads using one eye to look at me. As i kid i used to mock the birds and felt like they replied and played along. However i dont see an animal description for general birds and I wish I knew what the kind of bird was when i was satching them fly around the ovlivious crowd checking us all out lol
This is going to sound weird. Everyday I would drive an hour to work. On what seemed to be the same if not one near light post would sit a Hawk. I would see him everyday. I started to think to myself, I wonder f this is my spirit animal. One day I was heading to work from a friends house and a car in front of me had slammed on his brakes. There should not have been enough time for me to stop without having an accident but somehow I did. As this is happening I see something fluttering out of the corner of my eye. I look over and maybe two feet off the ground a hawk, the same kind I had been seeing on my way to work everyday, was hovering flapping his wings like crazy in a forward motion.
I ended up moving heading a different route to work and almost never saw him in his usual spot. Occasionally I would see a Hawk while driving and I would just be extra cautious and keep my distance. Today I was heading to work and was doing about 55 in a 45 when the same kind of hawk swooped down in front my car. I slowed down and kept an eye out, and not even a 100 yards later there was a cop pulled over waiting for speeders.
I’ll admit it is silly to think there is a spirit animal out there that saves you from speeding tickets. I do however truly believe this is my spirit animal. Although I no longer have one visit me daily, it does seem to appear at opportune times. It took this happening today for me to finally admit to myself that me a this hawk have a connection.
For the past two days I’ve been seeing hawks and I wonder wat does it means
I’ve had the same experience the last two days and wonder what it means. So far I’ve seen a lot of information saying messages from spirit, and powerful lessons to learn and new directions.
In the past two days I’ve seen 14 hawks and they keep soaring around nearby. Which is odd because while we do have them. They have all of a sudden come out of nowhere and I’ve seen them nonstop.
SNOW you may want to try getting in your car and follow one that is acting as if it wants you to go where it wants to go. Maybe it could mean you have to take a step back and take a quick hard look at aspects of your current life situation. I saw one today and a cat again. I have also been seeing Flys. While sitting on my front porch the fly would land on my arms and just sit there sometimesoon cleaning their body and wings with out putting their sicker mouth on my flesh. Why I don’t know that part about them not tasting my vehicle. My numbers are life path 3 expression being destiny number is 6 and soul urge being my hearts desire is a 1. In total they add up to 10, 10 being 1 a number related to change while the 0 represents an empty vessel or the symbol for the cosmic egg. I am honestly tired of waiting for this great conscious change we all are going to go through. I’ve been so damned frustrated with being misunderstood by the many and by those who are close to me.
That would depend on your current circumstances. It’s letting you know that it’s time to step out of your normal ideas on when to take action in those circumstances. Meaning that you may need to observe the situation before you act.
I am an Empath. I just learned I was a few years ago, when a woman I was speaking to asked me if I knew what the word Empath means; I told her I did not. She told me she believed I was, and to look into it. I sure did and it turned out I am. As a child I had an out of body experience, and had lot’s of psychic thing’s happen to me. I just did not know how to channel and accept it. I have the power of ESP, and I also read people’s auras. I have had many encounter’s with the Red Tailed Hawk. One experience was when I was in my doctor’s office, and the Hawk just perched on the ledge and just started at me for some time and left. I was told that it was good luck, and it was way before I knew my gift. The Hawk is my spirit guide. I see them every day at least once. I use this as guidance to know that the Hawk is bringing my attention to a matter that I must look at more clearly and from a distance so I can see the whole situation from every angle. I have also been seeing a female Cardinal. The message it is sending me is that my home and family need attention. I have very lucid dreams that are very vivid in which I receive messages. In one such dream I was asleep, and next to my bed was a wolf with a black & white coat. He was at my bedside at attention, hi ears perked up and intently watching and guarding me. I have also seen him in my basement, not the real one but his impression. He gaurds me all the time. I know that I have two animal spirit guides. Sometime they pick you.
Hawk chose me too. I am also an empath.

I don’t remember any of my dreams but I can tell something has changed since the Last solar flare being of a G2 scale. I have been dreaming while half asleep and I get the inkling feeling that it’s very important because it keeps slipping in my fingers like butter. I’m always frustrated with the fact that I’m always misunderstood. IItIt is what it is and time to sit back and observe for the right time. I can feel a change so deep that I don’t even know what I need to be doing. I will be attending a landmark forum meeting on the 22-24 related to integrity.
I remember when i was younger me and my mother had gotten into an arguement (it was minor) but, with the death of my father happening only a meer month or so before it really got to me. That day i tried to run away to my aunts house (a town over) to live with her. While i was going down the road and begining to calm down and think about what i was doing a hawk swooped down and landed on a fence post only 4 feet away from me. It stayed for about a minute before flying away. Its was strange but I felt like i had to go home to tell my mother. During that i made up with her and stayed. This was the first encounter i had with a hawk and the most memorable.
I had very bad dreams last night, which I read don’t exactly symbolize bad i terpretations. I just pulling onto my street and a hawk flew right past me as it lept from a tree on the side of the road. It turned its head and looked me straight in the eyes. I’m hoping that this is a positive sign of things to come. I’ve read that it also means to pay attention to your surroundings. I have a lot going on in my life and pray that this is a positive meaning for me.
This same thing i just recently experienced but i was pulling out of a friends drive way turned my blinker on and a owl flew over the car an landed on the power line right at the stop sign turned it’s head an looked right at me so i continued my drive home wondering wtf lol
I very recently maditated to try and seek my animal spirit guide i did not try to force it but it took forever when i finally saw my spirit animal it was strange it came into focus of a horse with white lines down its face at first i didnt recognise it as a horse i thought it was a baboon when i saw it was a horse i was releived i hugged it and asked for ots guidence and to also visit my dreams i was very emotional crying and all when i turned around i found a hawk i at first thought was a eagle so i assume that becaise i asked to see my animal spirit in my dreams he bacame a hawk or i have 2 spirit animals or maybe the horse was not my spirit animal and the hawk was warning me either way some thoughts or opinions would be great
Hi Soiban,
What an intense meditation!! Everyone has 9 main spirit animals that follow you throughout your life, while other totem animals pop in when they need to. I believe both the horse and the hawk are two of your main totem animals. They’re both wonderful creatures with beautiful meanings. Hope this helps xo
I had a dream last night, that I had a friend that was blue hawk. I hugged it, and stayed with me. Kinda strange, I’ve never dreamt of birds, that I can remember.
