The Sign of the Two-Headed Eagle



Last night I had a very involved dream about a double-headed eagle. It turns out one had perched on an outcropping of a building on the corner of Lanvale and Park, right near John’s house where I am staying. A whole bunch of people from the neighborhood were outside gawking at it, cause you don’t see something like that every day.

It was huge. Maybe having around the body-mass of a medium sized dog. It’s body feathers and wings were brown and its two heads were black. It was supremely bizarre looking, sort of unholy or demonic, since it was an impossibility brought to life.

Anyway, I was really really intrigued by this bird - of course. How could I not be? I think there was a point at which it disappeared or flew off or something. And there was this girl there, who either knew about it, or something like that. So I went over to talk to her, introducing myself and asking lots of questions about the whole thing. And then she agreed to take me someplace to find out more about it. She might have had a book too, now that I think about it. Or maybe I was just asking if she had any books about it.

At some point, we were going someplace, and she revealed to me that she was this girl who I had known freshman year of college, and wanted to know why I hadn’t recognized her. Because she looked completely different - that’s why.

Anyway, then we ended up at some kind of religious ceremony or gathering. Except it was completely mixed with priests and holy men from all around the world and different religions. They unfurled these giant weavings of the two headed-eagle, complete with stories about it from all their different traditions. Some of the designs were very simple and graphic, looking like the two-headed eagles of heraldry, and some were much more elaborate. And yeah, this bird had mystical significance all over, and it’s appearance throughout the ages was always a sign of great importance…

The other noteworthy thing is that somebody told me that the “thread-count” of some of the woven cloths was 1,000,000. This is, of course, interesting because like in a fancy sheet, I think the thread-count might be in the upper hundreds, 700 or 800. A million is just unheard of, and probably impossible. But the implication was that this super-soft, super-fine cloth had been woven from this magical birds feathers somehow.

So, I did some looking and just wanted to put together a list of links with images and stuff of two headed eagles:

  • This two headed eagle is a liturgical vessel, and is supposed to symbolize secular and ecclesial authority
  • The irrepressible David Icke says this is a secret symbol going way back
  • This guy’s attached to the Kremlin somewhere
  • This page puts forward the possibility that the bicephalus (two-headed) eagle originated as a Hittite symbol in ancient Turkey, and all the other uses of it are based on that.
  • An all black one from a Russian cathedral in the 1670’s
  • A book called “The Double Headed Eagle: Hitler’s Rise to Power,” cause the Nazis used it as a symbol too.
  • Russian glass eggs with two-headed eagles on them
  • A thing about Masonic Jews plotting to control the world, since its supposed to be a Masonic symbol going back to Babylon as well
  • The Albanian flag has it too
  • Another thing from Turkey
  • Seems the Russian state insignia since the 1500’s has been the bicephalus eagle.
  • Plus the Byzantines used it
  • There’s a movie based on a play by Jean Cocteau called “L’Aigle à Deux Têtes,” about European anarchists or something
  • A statue from ancient Iran
  • Another book about Masonry
  • The Indians of the Pacific northwest seem to have depicted a two-headed eagle sometimes too.
  • In Indian mythology (India, not Native American, that is), there is a huge two-headed eagle called the Gandaberunda, which was also used as an imperial emblem
