The Eagle, the Condor & the Quetzal: a Story of Unity in Costa Rica

In the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, where mist coils around ancient trees and the air pulses with life, a timeless story unfolds. A prophecy carried on the wings of sacred birds.

The Condor and the Eagle Prophecy

This ancient prophecy speaks of two great birds, two ways of life.

• The Eagle of the North represents the mind, technology, the modern world, and masculine energy.

• The Condor of the South stands for the heart, intuition, the natural world, and feminine energy.

For centuries, they flew apart. But the prophecy says a time will come when they share the same sky, bringing balance, healing, and harmony to this world.

It tells of a 500-year period beginning in the 1490s when Eagle energy would rise in dominance, nearly wiping out the Condor way of life.

But it also promises that starting around 1990, a new 500-year era would begin, one with the potential for reunion. Eagle and Condor, flying together. A chance to create a new level of human consciousness.

This is only a possibility. The prophecy is not a guarantee. It is an invitation and it’s up to us, humanity to realize it.

The Quetzal: Bridge Between Worlds

The Quetzal, native to Central America, is one of the most stunning birds on Earth. For the Maya and Aztec, it was sacred, more than a symbol, a messenger.

Linked to the god Quetzalcoatl, the "Feathered Serpent," the Quetzal represents the space where earth meets sky, where body and spirit merge together.

In the story of the Eagle and the Condor, the Quetzal is the bridge, the possibility of union. It carries the wisdom of the heart and the vision of the mind. It reminds us that true harmony comes when we integrate both. When we live in balance.
