Messengers have been reaching an all time high these days in terms of conscious, magickal connections. Have you noticed that too?

While I’ve always communicated with animals, the precision of communication has amplified in terms of Spirit channeling through the bodies of the animal world.

I’ve expressed before how I feel that higher dimensional consciousness streams through this way because I sense it’s how they can assist and come through for us in waking life that doesn’t totally disrupt or shock the human experience until that state of being is more fully ready to receive in this way.

While I experience these kinds of communications via dream and meditative or altered state times as well, it is more evident how much they are communicating and transmitting through direct animal encounters – a way to merge dimensions and worlds.

I share a lot – not all – of these stories here to thread together some of what I mean by this.

Another experience with owl recently happened as well that demonstrates both the direct communication lines and the manifestation possibilities.

I mentioned finding some owl feathers on the last day of our backpacking trip – they were a little tuft of smaller ones I discovered in a mound of special quartz pieces KC – aka Bean – and I found. Finding them at the end in this high energy spot seemed fitting after all we’d gone through on that adventure and a way to herald in what was upcoming.

Then on the 13th – last week – while doing a short hike with Dave, I found a Great Horned Owl feather. It was the smaller kind that comes from their body – breast area – with soft tufts of gray down attached to the bottom.

My finding it was kind of extraordinary because I noticed just the gray down part was stuck around a rock and dusted with dirt on the trail. I wasn’t going to pick it up, but decided to bend down and lift up the rock to pull it out. As I did so, the rest of the beautiful feather emerged from the dirt. I brushed it off and smiled. I wouldn’t have known that was there if I hadn’t decided to follow through on the nudge of curiosity.

I was overjoyed and felt it to be significant in timing.

Owl energy can be around when you are entering periods of transition to help assist in accessing deeper wisdom and intuitive knowledge that will help guide you into the new, unknown.

There is an owl hieroglyph at the Temple of Edfu in Egypt – interesting as you’ll see, since this Temple is dedicated to the Falcon God, Horus. Horus has also been linked with Hawks.

For Egyptians, owls are guardians of the Underworld and are bringers of wisdom and protection, and act as guides for the souls of the dead on their journey onward.

Owls are quiet observers with ability to pierce through shadow energies and therefore impart that there will be times to sit quietly and/or remove ourselves so that we can receive what others might miss and align ourselves with our truest path.

Owls have also been linked with extraterrestrial experiences. While that’s been true for me, they aren’t the only animals that have marked ET encounters in my life. They just seem to show up a lot in this form for other people.

I placed the owl feather into the pocket of my shorts where I had found a hawk’s cheek feather I’d placed there a couple of days before, but had forgotten about, and I continued on. After that I found some raw quartz and added it to my pocket. When we got to the car I went to retrieve everything and found that the owl feather was gone – the quartz and hawk’s cheek feather were all that remained.

I was so sad to have lost it, as I felt the importance of its energy. I couldn’t understand how it had fallen out. Or was there some other explanation? I wondered why it had disappeared.

I kept thinking about it on the ride home and Dave told me maybe I would find it the next day, as we were going to be doing a longer almost seven mile loop hike with some friends that would include the little section we had just done.

I hoped, but knowing how hikers, bikers, and animals come through there along with the wind at that elevation as well, I wasn’t sure where it might end up. Afterall, it was miraculous that I found it in the first place being that it was hidden under a rock and dirt.

That night, as we were watching a series with our sliding glass door open to take in the cool night’s air, we heard the loud hooting of an owl.

We’ve never had one so close to the house, let alone do I remember one hooting by the house at all. It sounded to be in one of the trees just off the deck. Dave was even surprised, as we listened.

I knew the owl was getting my attention.

I immediately told Dave, “He’s telling me he wants me to have the feather!”

I also felt other messaging – that he wanted to assure me that others are assisting with the preparations for things I’d be doing next month and that he’d heard my intentions around things and was supporting them. The feather was indication of guidance for the journey and the wisdom to discern.

Eventually Dave got up from the chair and turned on our outdoor deck lights that illuminate the forest trees just off of it to see if the owl might be visible. Of course as soon as the lights went on, the owl stopped hooting and didn’t resume again.

The next day we went on the longer hike with our friends.

As we got about midway on our hike, I suddenly noticed something peeking through the dirt on the middle of the trail again. Up until then, I had carried owl in my heart and had a strong sense that something was going to show up and it did.

It was another owl feather, but larger this time and baring the barred patterning.

I said out loud, “An owl feather! The owl wanted me to have one.”

Dave said, “Seeeee….you got one anyway.”

I was so happy and could feel owl winking at me and strongly in my presence, surrounding my aura like we’d become one.

I went about telling our friends the story of what happened and they thought it interesting.

We continued on and I was getting more excited knowing we were back on the part of the trail from the day before.

Suddenly I reach down to the right and retrieve my long lost feather, “I found it!”

Dave again said, “Seeeee. I told you, you could find it again.”

I repeated, “The owl wanted me to have it and the other was an added bonus to let me know how connected and clear the channel was.”

I was so happy.

It was so much more to me than finding the feather again, or the feathers in general.

It was the clarity of communication and the powerful connection that I felt. There are simply just no more veils or boundaries with things. And the animal world was my direct channel to the heart of things that would otherwise seem out of reach.

This process of surrender, trust, and heart knowing was part of the guidance and message.

Synchronously, last night after I finished writing this part of the blog about owl, we went out for an evening jacuzzi immersion on the forest. I saw a large bird fly through the dimly lit sky and come to rest in a tree off across the trail behind our house. I could see its pattern of flight and outline, knowing immediately it was owl silently making an appearance as an underscoring to my insights and experiences. He remained silent in the dark.

Silence is golden…another of the messages that has been strong recently amidst anchoring space for others in a different place.

Not long after that, bats began dancing in the air above us.

I mentioned hawk earlier when referencing the Temple of Edfu and Horus where one of the owl hieroglyphs can be found.

Well, hawk has also been revving up with very deliberate messaging.

You know I’ve shared how my, and my rabbit companions’, connection with them is strong. I have had a deep bond with Horus and many unusual and surreal experiences of protection and guidance with hawks especially, and falcons as more rare, refining of energies.

I mentioned the small hawk cheek feather in my pocket with owl’s feather. And I mentioned the hawk feather in my last post that I found after the ptarmigan feather, but I’ve been finding quite a few of their feathers actually in recent weeks since returning home from our months away. There’s been a more consistent flow of them and alongside the feather finds, Horus has made himself known and present.

But before getting to that, an unusual sighting happened first that I haven’t seen in years since I lived at the north end of the lake back in 2006-2009.

Just last week, right before the owl feather experience, I was sitting having my morning fruit bowl pre-breakfast and suddenly a huge presence flew straight across the windows on the forest. She flew super low at eye level to me sitting on the couch, and was just a few feet from the deck.

This was no hawk, although I’ve seen very large hawks. It was a Golden Eagle.

Her flight across the length of the windows took place as if in slow motion. I could see every detail of her face, feathers, and enormously powerful body. And those eyes! They pierced into my soul on this deliberate fly-by. A transmission took place that was unmistakable.

It happened while I was also in communication about something important. I knew it to be a punctuation of things upcoming and wanting me to know that everything was in alignment and I was ready.

I haven’t written about Golden Eagle before, but here’s a few things that stand out.

Golden speaks to me of alchemy.

Eagles have incredible vision and can be linked to prophets or seers. Golden eagles are considered by some to be linked to the supernatural and celestial, embodying great power and strength.

Golden Eagle is linked to the Sun and is known as the Thunderbird in North American indigenous cultures. This magnificent one is sacred and carries messages of renewal and well being.

I can still see and feel her presence.

Fast forward to yesterday.

Dave and I were coming back from a hike we haven’t done for a few years off in a place called Hope Valley. As we were driving back on the highway we both gasped.

A giant red-tailed hawk flew directly across the front window of our car at eye level again. He was literally only inches away from hitting the car, but his navigation was impeccably timed.

This large red-tailed hawk, again, remains etched in my mind’s eye and seemed like it took place in slow motion. Every detail of his face, eyes, and feathers are clear and the experience just as exhilarating as when it happened.

We were both shocked as to how this hawk managed to make it across without us hitting him. But more so, we were in awe of the experience and sight.

Hawks are also connected to the Sun and hold protective powers – my experience for sure! They have a presence of guardianship.

Although falcon is the main connection to Horus, hawks have association as well in my experience and for me I have always felt an immediate link to Egyptian and Cosmic memories…they are also sacred and often depicted hovering over a Pharoah’s head as protection. They rule the sky and also protect Terra with their wings.

Synchronously, I learned that a very special, custom carving from Egypt of Horus (created in the image of the statues at Edfu) had arrived Friday. I haven’t picked him up yet, but during all of this he’d been in transit, journeying home to me. He was brought to life by my friend Mody Ra in a most sacred and powerful stone that comes from inside the Great Pyramid itself – a place that was hugely transformative and integrative for me and where Horus made a grand appearance after one of the activations we did inside, on one of my visits there.

But back home, this made three encounters with large raptors just in the last few days that felt deliberate as experiences they intended for a reason – Owl, Golden Eagle, and Red-tailed Hawk.

Not everyone may look at things the same way, but when you start to make the connections to things going on in your life, questions or invitations, and timing, it’s hard to ignore them.

When I have encounters such as these, but especially with the particular types of birds, whether in person, visions, dreams, or through feather gifts….it has heralded a change or upgrade in direction of my life, more bleed through of cosmic integration and support coming in, as well as opened doorways to what used to be hidden within me to be remembered and accessed.

I know I’m not alone in this way of experiencing the connections. And I also don’t expect anyone to change their thoughts or beliefs otherwise.

I remain open to how guidance comes through without judgment or parameters on it.

Messengers are a way for the All, Spirit, God, Goddess, and the Multi-Dimensional aspect of You to share guidance and answer even when you think no one’s listening. Depending on your particular way of receiving, this can come in many forms and is something we can respect and honor as an individual experience.

In the meantime, the coyote packs have been howling in the forest every few nights, Astrid showed up with a powerful dream message last night, and the contrast between worlds is merging seamlessly.

And speaking of a merging of worlds…today I have another surprise, extremely rare and large crystal being who specifically asked to be shown. This magnificent one says that someone has been preparing for the connection to begin the next level of their life’s work path while they have been doing their work and readying in the interim. They bring together cosmic light, unconditional love, and ancient wisdom – highly transformative and amplifying for manifestation as highest good for all, facilitating bridge work for transitions and manifestation, and assistive for aligning with your truest spirit and heart calling. Like the spectacular citrine rainbow elder that was released and homed recently, this one is also an elder who has anchored the frequencies of Astrid’s giant Earth and Cosmic grid.
