I’m Flo and I am here to help. Today I saw a Falcon flying in the field opposite my house. It made me focus on an understanding of why this “symbol” came in my path. Were all living super busy lives, and it is easy to miss some super important symbols from our spirit guides. It is crucial to stop and think about some of the animals that come in our path.

The name is derived from a Latin word “falcoperegrenus” which means stranger or a foreigner. The name completely goes with the nature of the bird as it is often found to be migrating rather than being sluggish and is frequently found all over the world. They are the wanderers roaming from place to place. This migratory bird is seen to travel large distances. Falcons are the birds that can fly the highest. They are the commendable hunters and are deemed to be prominent in creativeness and vision. 

The Falcon revitalizes a person to lead a focused, purposeful, and meaningful life. It also encourages transformation and evolution. It convinces one to bring positive changes in every aspect of life, for instance in work, employment, and career.

Egyptian Lore On Falcons

The Falcon falls under the element of fire according to, which indicates that astrologically the Falcon means that you hold the hidden knowledge.

In my readings, occultists believe that the signs we see in daily life, in our dreams or meditations actually mean something and that we are a supernatural power. In fact, in ancient Egypt they believed the world as it is an illusion and that our spiritual world is connected to our daily life - and that we are “shown” bird symbols, such as the Falcon in order to be given a message from above. 

Falcons are regarded in Egypt to be associated with the holy features, being divine and sacred. Egyptians revere Falcons as the symbolic representation of the rising sun, being the evidence of astral persuasion. Egyptian representations regarded god Horus having combined features of many species, however, the most significant creature was a peregrine Falcon, renowned for its speed making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. 

God Horus (including Ra) is eminent as a man with a Falcon's head. Ancient poems regarded god Ra as a Falcon. Falcon was considered to be associated with the astral world and the manifestation and expression of masculine and solar god.

Teachings from the Falcon Animal Totem

The Falcon shows one what he is capable of. It invokes such a spirit into a person which pushes him to be more organized and systematic. It encourages us to achieve our goals and targets and to be ambitious and motivated in every phase of life. It endeavors to teach a lesson about being vigilant and to be conscientious about one’s needs and desires. It summons one towards passion, infatuation and enthusiasm.

When one allows a Falcon to be a part of his vision in soothing and comforting times, it allows the person to be more familiar with problems and find answers to questions. It makes the imperative knowledge available to him that he must be acquainted with. This bird is always willing to give thoughtful and meaningful messages, but it entirely depends on the person how he makes use of that knowledge.

In Egypt, the Falcon was seen as a symbol of the rising sun and the king of all the birds in the world. In ancient times the gods sometimes had the “symbol” of the Falcon and this is why most of them were shown with either the head of the Falcon or the body of the Falcon. A long time ago when I was doing some crystal gazing I can remember seeing an Egyptian symbol in the shape of a Falcon. I researched this further and discovered that RA the solar deity (Greek god) wore the Falcon's head. In spiritual terms the Falcon represents ruling over others, overcoming problems and wisdom. The Falcon also appeared in my vision because it is connected to the spiritual realm and the attachment of the higher self.

Here I am going to be giving you that message. Maybe the Falcon has appeared in your dreams or you are feeling that this bird is your animal totem. Should focus on freedom and do not let things hold you back - sour in the sky!

Falcons and your love life

Falcons can mean that new love is going to enter your life for a short period of time. If we look at the Falcon we can see how it interacts with its mate. Now, Falcons mate for life and breed in the same territory each year – this means in love you will enter a serious relationship or a spark of another relationship. In the Falcon world, there is courtship, after which, they make a nest in small caves or on edges located in high cliffs.

Falcons mate in late March through to May with a gestation period of 29 to 32 days for egg incubation. Their clutch size is between 3 to 4 eggs. The incubation is done by both the female and the male in turns. After 42 days of hatching, the chicks begin to fly, but at that stage, they are still dependant on the parents in order to learn how to hunt. During the breeding season, the Falcons are very territorial and vigorously defend their nests. The reason I have shared this with you is that you may find in love that someone is going to be “jealous” of your relationship.
