Spirit Birds
Wings of freedom, courage, and a loving spirit to soar above!
The warmth of the elegant wood wings combine with beautiful award winning artisan glass marbles that I’ve curiously captured with tolerances that allow the marble to twirl but won't fall out. List of glass artists at bottom.

Spirit Birds, Nature and Native Americans
Native Americans have always had a deep and profound relationship with the natural world, and birds of prey were no exception. To them, these powerful creatures were not just animals, but sacred beings that symbolized freedom, strength and the ability to soar above all else.
Eagles, hawks and other birds of prey were deeply ingrained in the spiritual and cultural beliefs of many tribes. They believed that these birds had a special connection to the spirit world and that by observing and learning from them, they could better understand their own place in the world. For many tribes, the Bald Eagle and the Golden Eagle have a particularly sacred significance. These magnificent birds were seen as messengers from the creator, and their feathers were often used in religious ceremonies and tribal regalia.
To the Native Americans, birds of prey represented the ultimate connection to the natural world and the spiritual realm. They were honored, respected, and treated with the utmost reverence. They symbolized the beauty, strength, and freedom of the natural world and the power of the spirit that lives within us all.
