RE: Official Entry to Spirt Animal Contest: Eagle Spirit

in #animalmav7 years ago

Anything about the traditional and ancient legends as well the stories behind them always fascinate me. Your story above is so interesting! Me myself is from an ethnic from Borneo and we have a lot of things involving animals especially in our rituals. Some of those rituals we still practiced it until today for as long as it doesn't have any conflict with the religion. Thanks for sharing this!

Awesome!! I’d love to hear your stories. My friend and I may start a group and indigenous cultures will be featured! Any on the eagle from Borneo? Ancient Tradition is amazing and exhilarating! That’s me talking from
Experience 😛

Yes yes! One of the eagle called Brahminy Kite is one of the important and main legend and symbol in our ethnic culture. Our ethnic is called Iban by the way. This bird is the god of war and the chief of all birds in our culture. Traditionally we also have a fest called "the fest of birds" in which we honored this Brahminy Kite. It was believed that during ancient time, this bird was a human transformed into an eagle to help our people in many ways :)

If you read my story, this matches! Lol
Yes eagle is the god of air and sky. Sweet.
In my culture we have what is called an eagle dance ceremony and it’s all around the power and gifts of the eagle.
