The Eagle was a bird known for its wisdom and long life in Celtic stories. The eagle represents strength, swiftness, keen sight, and the knowledge of magic. The Eagle is also said to reveal hidden spiritual truths.
The Golden Eagle once symbolized the soul and it was signifying the power of life over death. Now almost extinct in Britain, this Eagle is rarely seen except in the north of Scotland.The Celtic Druids were believed to have the capability to change into the form of all birds, but among their favored choices was the Eagle.
