Animal symbolism
Vulture
What the tradition holds
Read as the end of something and the cleaning up after it. Rarely read as an omen of death itself in the traditions that live alongside them.
Where that reading came from
Vultures find carrion by smell from a great distance and remove it from the landscape. Their whole existence is the aftermath, not the event.
A circling vulture means a thermal or a carcass, not a warning. What it can honestly mark for you is that a thing has already ended.
