Eagle Inspired Stories

It seems there are many stories, fables, myth's and tales of the eagle in various cultures. I have included but a few to illustrate them. The first one, I've included different story tellers telling the same story as it's interesting to see how different people tell the story differently.
It is interesting to think why this bird has been used so extensively for so many metaphors about life.

Eagle and Chicken Story:



This is the second version retelling the same story. The basic is similar but notice how some elements have changed making it similar but different:



Third retelling of the same story and again some elements have been changed making it truly interesting what stays and what changes in folk tales that travel around the world:


Prophecy of Eagle and Condor- South American:
This is a South American story that has lived for ages. It's interesting but might be a little different in the storytelling than regular western culture stories.


Another version of this same South American myth told by John Perkins who's info is below.

John Perkins is a leading authority on shamanism and is the author of several books on the subject, including Shapeshifting, The World Is As Your Dream It, and Psychonavigation. His latest books, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and The Secret History of the American Empire have been New York Times best-sellers. dreamchange.org

INSPIRATIONAL: REBIRTH OF THE EAGLE
While the info in this folks tale is not that accurate- the story is interesting and has been retold many times. The eagle has been given powers it doesn't have in real life- but who ever said stories are about real life. They are about stories.



The Eagle Story: Native American
One more story. This time a Native American one.


ALBA THE EAGLE

The next video is a little long and it's first half is dedicated to the history of Albania. But the second half is dedicated to the legend of the eagle in modern cultures around the world.


In the original Egyptian creation story we find a serpent and the primordial egg, which contained the " Bird of Light"(Alba,Ark). Eagle symbolized immortality, courage, farsightedness and strength. It is considered to be the king of the air and the messenger of the highest Gods. After old faith it looks directly when flying up into the sun, why it is also a symbol for the ascent in the sky and the release of the soul. Mythologically, it is connected by the Greeks with the God Zeus, by the Romans with Jupiter, and by the Germanic tribes with Odin.The eagle was regarded, as a holy bird, a protective spirit, and the guardian of heaven.The two-headed eagle later was an emblem of twin gods depicting power and omniscience. Albania is the Land of the Eagles, but the ancient (eagles)Albanians are located and mobed from east to the west to the new cities and countries that they created. They were called often Albania and Albany. These two names comes from term Alba which means daylight showing in the Morning before the Sun rises. Eagle is like the day light with its open arms. The symbol of the key that Eagle holds is mystery. Snake is what the Eagle holds often and the snake is a symbol of the key. For what door? East and west's gates between the upper and under worlds?
Snake is too the Sun(Snake)of the Underworld where the sun sets and lights to show later its light as the down for the upper world. Together the eagle+snake are the Dragon Sun. They can not be without each other; a dragon (snake) with eagle's arms or an Eagle is holding the snake or the key. As is above is below.They are One.
Alba,Albania and Albany means the same thing;means the daylight,which as an Eagle does fly from the light(white) mountain(tower,pillar) of east to that of the west. This direction of the Daylight,is the direction of the Sun Eagle for the Upper world(and the Sun Snake for the Underworld).
This move is the reason that Albany name is showing everywhere in the world,in east and west,north and south, up and down the world.So Albanians must be proud that they are called the sons of the (Sun) Eagle.
And who are the "sons of the Sun Snake" ?
They must be the twins sons,and both as one Son; the Son of the Sun Dragon.This Old Dragon has moved from far East to the far West.You find many Albanys in Americas and Australia, which came from St.Alban.These were Brythons or Britons who came from Gaul;Belgium,France who did mix later with Germanic tribes Angles to create Anglia,Britain.These ancient Europeans came from Caucasus where Albania was.But Rome was connected too with Gaul, was created by Alba's tribes near Rome who were ancient Albanians moving from Balkan,Greece,Turkey and Albania in Caucasus.There are the roots of these two tribes who left east to meet in the west as German-Dutch and Belgs-French.Their root was Albania,Alba,Al,Alans in the est,in Euro-Asia. Look the symbols in all the flags here; where the dragon,eagle,lion,sun is the Alba,light,down,east's gate,entrance of the King of the World.So the light moved from east to west, and so will happen again now in the new down.
