Soaring Eagle
[size=+1]Daughter[/size]
Description: There is a young woman wrapped in a blanket, and holding a feather in one hand. Her eyes are closed. There is a golden eagle with its wins spread behind her.
Significant Details: The young woman and the golden eagle both have spiritual auras around them. The young woman has her eyes closed, possibly meditating. Eagles are “the carriers of prayers, visions, and spirits between the worlds of the not yet born, the living, and the dead."
My Interpretation: You have a greater sense of freedom. You may be experiencing a new love. You may have some confusion between what you think is right and what you know is right. This is a good time to turn to your inner power
Thoughts/Points to Ponder: It almost looks as if the golden eagle is being pushed away by the girl's aura. Maybe her inner power is so forceful, out of control, right now that the eagle can't reach her with it's message. As her eyes are closed, it is possible that she doesn't even know the eagle is there. Will she receive the message the eagle is trying to bring her? Will the eagle eventually be noticed?
[size=+1]Son[/size]
Description: There is a young man riding a horse, one hand raised above his head, holding a spear. The clouds in the sky are yellow from the sun, and there are also streaks of pink in the sky.
Significant Details: The feathers in this card refer to how far along the spiritual path this young man has traveled. The yellow in the clouds give a sense of protection and clarity. The horse signifies his journey.
My Interpretation: You are feeling restless. You may have a problem that you have been thinking about a lot, possibly causing some inner conflict. You may be tempted to fulfill egoish desires.
Thoughts/Points to Ponder: The way the young warrior is holding the staff, I don't get a sense of "the kill", but more a sense of a wanting to prove himself. He wants to show the elders that he's worthy of their respect.
[size=+1]Mother[/size]
Description: There is a woman with her hair blowing back. Behind the woman we can see the teepees of her people. There is an eagle flying behind the woman, and an eagle formation in the yellow clouds in the sky.
Significant Details: The eagle is a messenger from the spirit realm. The woman, the mother, looks as if she is moving, searching.
My Interpretation: You are feeling inspired, confident. This is a good time to take on creative endeavors. You have a lot of inner strength and self-awareness, possibly even the courage to try new things. You have a lot of mental/spiritual clarity during this time.
Thoughts/Points to Ponder: What is the Mother searching for? Why is she leaving the protection of her people? The eagle is coming to bring her a message, possibly she is searching for the eagle?
[size=+1]Father[/size]
Description: There is a man seated upon a horse. In one hand he holds his shield and also a spear, both decorated with eagle feathers.
Significant Details: The eagle feathers used as decoration on the shield and spear signify this mans status among his people, and how far he has come on his spiritual journey. The shield is a tool used on spiritual journeys, and in battle. The three red bear paws represent his totem animal, his spiritual helper, and thus represent "courage, power, healing, guardian of the world". The horse is significant of a journey.
My Interpretation: You have been the leader in some area of your life. You are thinking clearly, intelligently, and are able to make quick decisions. This is a time for mental astuteness.
Thoughts/Points to Ponder: The Father has a look on his face as if he is reminding us to pay attention to our surroundings. He is determined.
[size=+2]Overview of the Court Cards of Air:[/size]
These people are a plains people, and thus easy for me to identify with as I come from the same general area.
When lining these pictures up I notice that the Daughter is in another area, far from the Son, Mother, and Father. The sky and background are different in her card. She has gone on her own spiritual journey, but must remember to return soon.
The Son, with his spear raised, looks as if he has encountered the Daughter, and is going to poke her to bring her out of her dream state.
The Mother, with her sense of searching urgently, is looking for the Son and Daughter. They have gone farther than they were supposed to, and now she must find them. She looks towards the Father. Maybe she has just seen him riding up.
The Father, with his serious, determined look, is trying to convey to the mother that she need not worry, the Son and Daughter will be back when it is time for them to return. He sits very confidently upon his horse looking over the Daughter, Son, and Mother. They are his responsibility. He won't allow harm to come to them.
