12"x16" Watercolor and white and gold ink on paper
"Look past what you see of me, and instead consider my purpose. I perform a sacred and necessary service. I cleanse the world of that which is past its useful life, and leave it clear for renewal. I have great grace, power and beauty when in my own element. I am infinitely patient. Do not mourn your difficulties, for they are the path to your purpose. Take your required action and you will see an outcome of beauty and wonder."
Turkey Vulture's crown includes: 
• White Rose (Purity and new beginnings)
• White Lily (Purity, rebirth, rejuvenation)
• Daffodil (New beginnings)
• Purple Hyssop (Cleansing, purity).

Turkey Vulture guides you to release what no longer serves, to make room for purification and renewal, to have patience, to take action instead of merely thinking about or talking about taking action. He teaches you to use your energy efficiently, to have an innate sense of confidence and dignity regardless of appearances. He knows when things don't "smell right." He tells you that the hardship you currently experience is meant for a higher purpose, and will pass. Turkey Vulture is the totem for those who work behind the scenes, whose only reward is his own satisfaction in his work. Once he appears to you, Turkey Vulture will stay with you always.
