A Vital Matters Perspective: The Eagle Above and Below: In the Air and on the Ea
The Eagle Above and Below: In the Air and on the Earth
Cyndy García Weyandt describes the Young Eagle, a sacred figure in Wixárika tradition associated with the North and the ceremonial geography of the ancestors. This eagle symbolizes the place where souls journey after death and is seen as both a sky and earth being. Featured in the work of José Benítez Sánchez, the Young Eagle represents connection to ancestral spirits and the Third World, where visions of ancestors reside. Families recognize the eagle as a guardian of this spiritual realm and a symbol of the cycle between life, death, and ancestral presence.
