Raptors have powerful energy, symbolizing the inner world, clarity of vision and the power of intuition. Although their symbolism can empower us, they also serve as a reminder to remain self-aware with our thoughts, words and actions. They represent both our shadow and light archetypes and remind us to pause, look within and ask ourselves if we are living in our light or living in the shadows.
Raptors also symbolize freedom, strength, endurance, power, force, warrior spirit, perspective, clarity, focus, ebbing and flowing with the cycles of change. They are also connected to the elements of Air, Earth and for some, like the Osprey and the Bald Eagle, the element of Water.
Air represents freedom, liberation, flexibility, intellect, thought and connection. Earth represents stability, grounding, strength, safety, and nurturing. Water represents purification, cleansing, transformation, intuition, emotions, and spiritual growth.
Raptor symbolism incorporates the foundational representations of all raptors, including Hawks, Falcons, and Eagles. Each specific raptor holds its own in-depth Spirit Animal symbolism that serves to guide us on our path. Click the images above to learn more.
