Okay, so, “vulture spirit animal” – sounds kinda weird, right? I mean, vultures? But I was kinda curious, so I went down this rabbit hole, and honestly, it was pretty interesting.
First, I just googled it. You know, the usual “vulture symbolism” stuff. Lots of things about death and rebirth popped up, which, yeah, makes sense. They eat dead things, circle of life, blah blah blah. But I was looking for something, I don’t know, deeper.
Digging a Little Deeper
So I started looking at different cultures, different beliefs. Some Native American traditions see vultures as symbols of purification. They clean up the mess, prevent disease, that kind of thing. I thought, “Okay, that’s a bit more positive.”
Then I stumbled across this idea of vultures being super patient. They soar around for hours, waiting, watching. They don’t rush things. They conserve energy. And that really resonated with me, ’cause I’m, like, the least patient person ever.
My Little Experiment
So, I decided to try and, uh, “channel” my inner vulture. Not, like, eat roadkill or anything. But just, you know, be more observant, more patient.
- I started paying more attention to my surroundings. Just really looking at things, instead of rushing through my day.
- I tried to be more patient with people. Like, when someone was taking forever in line at the coffee shop, I tried not to get all huffy. I breathed. I observed.
- I focused on finishing things I’d already started, instead of jumping to the next shiny new project. Vultures are all about completion, right?
The Results?
Honestly? It was…kinda nice. I felt a little more…grounded, I guess? Less frantic. It’s not like I’m gonna start wearing feathers or anything, but the whole “vulture” thing actually helped me slow down and appreciate things a bit more. I even finished that knitting project I’d abandoned months ago!
So, yeah, vultures. Who knew? Maybe they’re not so bad after all. They can be patience to wait to get the result they want. It’s definitely a weird spirit animal, but hey, it kinda works for me.
