  • **“At the apex of the tree is the eagle with the falcon sitting on his head in between his eyes” [“The Serpent and the Eagle: An Introduction to the Elder Runic Tradition“ – by Chris Travers, 2008. – Who said there are no “chakras” in Germanic lore?] ; “The eagle symbolized strength, courage, farsightedness and immortality. It is considered to be the king of the air and the messenger of the highest Gods. Mythologically, it is connected by the Greeks with the God Zeus, by the Romans with Jupiter, by the Germanic tribes with Odin, by the Judeo-Christian scriptures with God, and in Christian art with Saint John the Evangelist.“ [Wikipedia] ; „The eagle (an-nasr, al-uqab, and arrakhma), a solar symbol, also predates the emergence of Islam. It appears prominently on national pendants, either by itself or joined with another eagle (the bicephalous or two-headed eagle), to suggest warlike ferocity, nobility, and dominion. A common figure in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Turk-Mongol mythology, the eagle is widely used in many Middle Eastern nations today. Similarly, the large desert hawk or goshawk (al-ibra) connotes heroic virtues, especially in Tlemcen, to the west of Algeria, where it is nicknamed al-mfitha, literally "little key."“ [„Islam and symbolism“, 2008; Rodrigues, Antonio]
