What is The Spiritual Meaning of Falcons?

The first question you may ask, is seeing a falcon good luck? And the answer is yes, falcons spiritually represent good luck, particularly when it comes to finances and work.

The peregrine falcon in particular, is a symbol of ambition and freedom. When this bird appears, it means focus your attention on your career now, if you desire more freedom in the future. In other words, any action taken now, will prove fortuitous.

For Celts, the falcon is a symbol of victory. Indeed it was considered a magical bird with prophetic powers.

4 Spiritual Meanings of Falcons

Here are the four key symbolic messages of the falcon:

1. Be Courageous

When the falcon appears to you, it is telling you to have courage. Ideally, be willing to face whatever intimidates or frightens you. This could apply to your career or relationships, or some other part of your life. The falcon thus encourages you to dare to dream.

2. Focus on Your Goals

This is the right time to focus on your goals, possibly career, money, moving house, weight loss or health. You may even need to act courageously, and speak your wishes aloud to others. In so doing, you take your dream out of the imaginary, and into something more real and concrete.

3. Open Your Eyes

The falcon flies high in the sky, and can see all with his razor sharp vision. When a falcon visits you, it is a sign to open your eyes to the larger problems in the world.

This may mean joining protests, volunteering for good causes, or working for a company or charity that is helping to solve humanitarian or environmental issues. In doing so, you will actually find your way and path in life.

When a falcon picks you, it means you have been chosen as one of the spirit world’s activists and helpers.

So I am reminded of Matt 13, 6-17 as Christ says:

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

4. Spiritual Gift

Spiritual abilities associated with the falcon are clairvoyance and divination.

What is The Biblical Meaning of Seeing a Falcon?

The following is the most famous reference to falcons in the bible:

“The path no bird of prey knows,
Nor has the falcon’s eye caught sight of it.

Job 28:7

What is the meaning of Job 28:7, what is the bible trying to tell us by using the symbol of the falcon?

Birds are portrayed as spiritual messengers in both the bible and Tarot. This is because they fly high in the sky, connecting mankind below with the Heavens above. The falcon as such, becomes a spirit who is visiting from Heaven with a message for you.

As the falcon has excellent vision, it can see what is hidden from our eyes. Thus, they deliver guidance on the invisible life path and process that we travel in life. But even the falcon, or spirit cannot see or know all. Job 28:7 can be interpreted as meaning, that there continues to be layers of spiritual advancement, even after death.

What Does it Mean When You Dream of Falcons?

When you dream of a falcon it is a sign to take action. That is to say, a decision looms and you have been trying to ignore it. Perhaps you have been waiting for a sign, unsure if you should move ahead, pull back or wait.

The falcon is a sign to move ahead and take the action. You may even receive a hint of which action to take within your dream.

If you have problems with your vision, the falcon is also a sign of healing.

What is The Meaning of a Falcon Tattoo?

The person with a falcon tattoo tends to be independent and requires a lot of time alone. This type of personality is sharp and street-wise. They are likely to enjoy working at jobs which allow them to act quickly and instinctively, without too much red tape. They have the ability to sense what is coming, and change direction speedily and easily.

Without a doubt, in an end-of-world scenario, this is the type of person you want by your side.

Meanings: Derived from mythology, astrology, dream interpretation, and universal archetypes which have entered the collective unconscious psyche.
