Thanks to Karyn for providing the Pagan Lore, below.
Bald Eagle Day (United States)
Mother of All Eagles
Themes: Freedom, Perspective, Overcoming, Health, Power, Destiny, Air Element, Movement
Symbols: Feathers (not Eagle - if you are not Native American and can prove it with a CDIB card, it's illegal. You can buy them at some Indian-owned stores)
Eagle Mother glides into our reality and flies above all, giving us all-seeing vision over our circumstances. She represents healing to Native Americans and her feathers are often used by Shamans for this purpose. The Eagle is also the most spiritual bird for many tribes as She flies highest and closest to the Sun. She brings us to a place of joyfully accepting our personal power over destiny. Isn't she beautiful?

On this day, Pagans in parts of England celebrate the Day of Cerridwen in honor of the ancient Celtic goddess of fertility. Vervain (the herb most sacred to Cerridwen) is burned in small cauldron pots as an offering to the goddess, green ribbons are tied to trees, and green candles are lit on altars dedicated to her.
