The Golden Purifier

Every year in late September - October, Turkey Vultures gather at a staging point in East Sooke Park off of Beechy Head to start their migration across the straits to Olympic Mountains and points south. There were hundreds in the air but this one, sitting in classic vulture pose, high up amidst the white bones of dead trees, seemed iconic.

 

The Golden Purifier (CATHARTES AURA) is a very powerful totem. If you have a Vulture as a spirit guide or totem, it can show you how to use energy powerfully and efficiently. It glides effortlessly on the winds, soaring to extraordinary heights while using little or no energy, making it a very powerful totem. Regardless of the less than good image, the vulture is typically granted by most, think about it: Unlike the needs of nearly all other living creatures, vultures do not kill. Their prey either dies or something else kills it and it is never another bird.

Truly a most noble attribute for any living entity, flora or fauna.
