“Who needs fine gowns and finger sandwiches anyway?”

“God, that must be hard. But, I mean, that’s what I wanna do. Make a difference, I guess,” he paused, and though he wanted to frown, he forced a smile. “Finger sandwiches are weird, but fine gowns can be fun. I love a good fine gown.”

aztec meaning of eagle: the eagle carries the veil of night and dark over our existence and awareness. it’s affiliated with the dawning sun, and is a magnificent power, able to shine light into our world.

The eagle has the possibility of many meanings, among them being protection, guardianship, freedom, determination, and inspiration. Native wisdom about the eagle teaches us a lesson to work smarter, not harder, evidenced in the fact that eagles do what is most efficient when doing things. Some plains tribes refer to the eagle as an earthly incarnation of the great Thunderbird spirit. The Thunderbird itself can represent expansiveness, transformation, and unquestioned authority. For some tribes, seeing the Thunderbird was an omen of war. Thunderstorms were seen as spirits warring in the skies, and this was often seen as a foretelling of victory. Aside from their connection to Thunderbirds, eagle feather’s were tribal tools of healing. The eagle is often invoked for reviatlisation, creationg, and healing purposes. In alchemy, the eagle is a representation of prime matter. The eagle spreads its wings over the step into creation and fans the fire, encouraging growth of new matter. For the Celts, the eagle was associated with the symbolism of water, and with the intuitive oracle water serves as. This also ties into some Native beliefs, as it was said that eagles wings flapping can conjure rain. If you subscribe to the idea that all energy is interconnected, the average wingspan of 5-7 feet for an eagle could cause a massive amount of energetic ripples into the cosmos, even prompting rain. The Celts observed eagles, and came to the conclusion that they could see into waters with miraculous clarity, something they associated with the act of scrying. The Ancient Greeks saw eagles as a solar animal, symbolic of authority, rulership, and virility. This is evidenced in the fact that eagles were Zeus’ animal, and he often transformed into them in the myths. Interestingly enough, while Native myth associated eagles with the great power of Thunderbirds, eagles in Ancient Greek myths were depicted as carrying thunderbolts in each talon. It seems that the great power of thunder is often associated with eagles. The eagle is also seen as having great wisdom. This may be way the eagle was chosen as Ravenclaw’s animal. Eagle eyes are keen are often symbolised with perspicacity, courage, strength, and immortality. Eagles are often themselves considered king of the skies, and are considered a messenger of the highest gods. Because of these things, the Ancient Romans saw them as symbolising power and strength. In Germanic traditions, the eagle was associated with Odin. The eagle also has an important in heraldry. Even the United States sees the eagle as important, as the Bald Eagle is the nation’s animal. With eagles being associated with wisdom, power, and freedom, it’s no surprise this is the animal Benjy’s Patronus shows. This biggest part of why the eagle is his Patronus may just be that the first constellation he recognised in the sky was Aquila the eagle. This first recognition of the astronomical eagle may just be why this animal imprinted on Benjy in the first place. To understand the eagle’s symbolism in many cultures is to understand why this animal would represent Benjy in a charm designed to protect you from evil. With all of this information, I think the Aztec meaning of eagle is most important. Benjy’s mother herself is of Aztec descent, having grown up speaking the Aztec language of Nahuatl. Benjy is from Puebla, the city in Mexico with the second highest number of Nahuatl speakers, just after Mexico City. The area in which Benjy is from, where both Puebla and Mexico City are found, was an area the Aztecs had situated themselves in. One of the famous cities in Aztec history is Tenochtitlan, where sat on an in island in Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico. Tenochtitlan was an altepetl, an Aztec city-state. The ruins of Tenochtitlan today are found in downtown Mexico City. The Aztecs saw the eagle as something that brought night, but also saw it in the dawning sun, as the first light in the morning. Benjy is a kind, helpful person who loves to bring light into people’s lives. The fact that eagle chose him shows this animal is as much a part of him as anything else in his life. That is why the eagle chose him.
