Falco peregrinus Disciplinatus (Falco-p.) = Wanderfalke
The scientific name Falco peregrinusmeans “wandering falcon” in Latin.
The name Falcon comes from the Latin falx, a sickle and alludes to the sharp
beak that, like the grim reaper, brings sudden death.
Natural History of the Falcon
They differ from other
Falconiformes in killing with their beaks instead of their feet. They have a
“tooth” on the side of their beak for that purpose.
The Falcon (female) is
more powerful but the Tiercel (Male) is often more agile.
The Falcon’s flight takes
the form of a series of rapid strokes of the wings followed by a short glide.
While its diet consists
almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the Peregrine will occasionally hunt
small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects.
The Peregrine requires
open space in order to hunt, so they search for prey either from a high perch
or from the air.
The Peregrine Falcon is
often said to be the fastest animal on the planet in its hunting dive, the
stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply
at speeds commonly said to be over 320 km/h (200 mph), and hitting one
wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact.
If the prey is not killed
by the shock of being hit with razor sharp claws moving at more than a hundred
miles an hour, it is quickly dispatched by a bite to the neck.
They have a “tomial tooth”
a projection on the upper beak with a corresponding notch on the lower one.
This serration allows them to kill their prey immediately with
a bite to the back of the neck and they do not generally have to contend
with a struggling victim as the hawks do.
The birds usually hunt in the
early morning and again in the evening.
A pair mates for life and
returns to the same nesting spot annually. The courtship flight includes a mix
of aerial acrobatics, precise spirals, and steep dives.
The pair defends the
chosen nest site against other Peregrines, and often against ravens, herons and
gulls.
The male brings the food
close to the nest and passes it to the female in mid air. This can be an
impressive display as they both fly vertically up, chest to chest, and
pass the food from talon to talon.
Apart from such
anthropogenic threats as collision with human-made objects, the Peregrine may
be killed by large eagles or large owls.
Central issue:
Falco peregrinus has a particular theme or dreams which include speed,
free fall, and the bliss of freedom and being the fastest in the animal
kingdom.
It is a gripping feeling
(sensation) as if you are stuck in a cage (delusion) it is something that grips
you & it is black & dark. It is something vague that holds you &
keeps you in a cage.
The black thing is
something that is inside of the me from top to feet & through the legs
& it can make me do things, it is much more powerful than me. I’m & it
is
domineering me ,it has power over me, it makes me do things that l don’t
want to.
Recurrent dreams….A
crushing feeling, totally black & I was so super-small & the black
thing is so huge ,it came down on me so that I couldn’t breathe anymore….
it came down in slow motion, like a black cape
coming down slowly on me that wraps you completely.
Correlation with nature:
A. Speed/Stoop/Dive/Danger
The Peregrine Falcon is widely renowned for its incredible speed. High
speed achieved only during the characteristic swoop (hunting dive)…the
Peregrine Falcon is the fastest creature on earth.
‘I drove home that evening
in a record time of 1hr 10 min, a journey which usually takes me 1hr 30min. I
drove at high speed, I was aware of the speed but I didn’t
care’.
‘I was aware on my journey
home that my driving was somewhat careless and that if I was not more careful I
would have an accident, but it didn’t stop me.’
‘Was very speedy’
‘Went out by myself –
feeling very good, pleased with myself, I walked out on the dam on the stream
without a thought, after a few minutes I noticed how precariously
I was perched and thought quite calmly, “You’d break a leg if you fell
off here“, but I didn’t go back immediately.’
B. Courage/strong/agile
Peregrine Falcons are courageous, strong and extremely agile birds
provided with dreadful weapons. When they catch their prey, usually the victims
are stabbed to death or strangled up in the air, or very heavy birds are
tortured in the air and then killed after they plunge to the ground.
I don’t care and feel very
relaxed.
I find it very difficult
to take anything seriously at all, great fun.
Periods of great stillness

C. No sense of Danger
The Peregrine Falcon is often stated to be the fastest animal on the
planet in its hunting dive, the stoop, but the dive may be dangerous sometimes,
because the falcon may hit a tree or rock.

E. Abused/Dominated/Falconry
The falconry……The bird is left tethered in semi-darkness without food.
After a substantial time, when the bird is exhausted and starving, it is offered
a morsel of meat on the gloved fist. When it is driven by hunger to eat it will
step on to the glove to take the meat.

Numbness/Detachment/Disinterested in sex and sensuality
F. Reaction to Imprisoned…
A bird of prey is never domesticated. The learned response to the lure and
the sound of the whistle will usually call back the bird but if it were to fly
out of sight or hearing it would be free…
They will usually have
experienced severe abuse of a physical, emotional and/or sexual nature. As a
result, there is a great deal of anger, which may either be
Sup- or expressed.
Ailments from scorn
Anger, cold and detached
Anger from contradiction

Falken sind traditionell ein Prestigeobjekt reicher Ölscheichs. Zentrale Thema Geschwindigkeit, denn Falco ist seinen Mitmenschen im Denken immer 10 Schritte voraus. Es fällt ihm schwer, sein inneres Tempo in die
Realität umzusetzen, und so kommt es bei ihm zu Koordinations- und Wahrnehmungsschwächen, die sich in Unfällen, Schreibproblemen bei Diktaten, Klavierspielen nach Noten und andere motorischen Schwierigkeiten
äußern. Liebt Motorrad-/Achterbahnfahren und raketenhaftes Fliegen. Schlägereien ist er nicht abgeneigt und hat gern ein lockeres Messer in der Tasche. Gegenüber langsam denkenden Menschen verhält er sich ungeduldig.
Bei ihm besteht eine latente Gewaltbereitschaft, und feige ist er überhaupt nicht. Die Disziplin, die im lateinischen Namen des Mittels steckt, lässt der Klient manchmal vermissen.
To the ancient Egyptians the falcon headed God Horus was a major deity
One eye represented the sun, while the other represented the moon. Thus this
God, among other functions, was the psychopompus, the one who led the living
into death and the dead into their new life upon the wheel of cyclical
return. The themes which emerged in the Falco proving 'fell out' upon an axis
of brightness, clear sightedness, laughter and the coldness of unfeeling anger
(own children)/anything perceived as posing a restraint. Humiliated/scorned/undervalued/menaced.
There is an unfeeling aspect to the remedy, compounded by a sense of being
above it all/detached. From this perspective human life may
seem cheap/impoverished/dirty. One prover reported that she had become
'The Ice Queen', while some others expressed that sex and sensuality were 'off
the map'. From this detached perspective it is natural to seek a purely
analytical solution to any emotionally charged situation. The disciplined Falcon's
primal situation of fear and deprivation translates in terms of unfeeling
numbness, as is the case in many of our fear remedies This response is the
natural one,
once flight and fight have been tested and found wanting. Perhaps
arising out of this primal experience there was a marked empathetic response
from a number of provers, especially with endangered environments and
disempowered people or perhaps this response is as natural as is flight for the
free bird. Certainly most of the provers felt elevated in the initial stages of
the proving: clear sighted, focussed, close to nature, not to mention the
spiralling and gyring preoccupations of most provers. The proving dose was
taken over the weekend - on Sunday morning 7 of the group (2 men) came to class
with painted finger nails - emblematic of the falcon's death delivering talons.
They had been to a birthday party, all had got confused while driving, several
had a terrible time getting off roundabouts (traffic circles)! - emblematic of
the falcon's ascending spiral flight prior to its stoop upon its prey.
The Peregrine Falcon is one of 38 species of the genus Falco, the true
falcons, which includes Kestrel/Merlin. The representative importance of the
bird is such that it gave its name to the Falconiformes as an order of diurnal
raptors including eagles/hawks/vultures/buzzards. There are several features
that distinguish the falcons from other raptors.
Falcons don’t build nests/lay their eggs in "scrapes" (=
depressions made on cliff ledges)/holes in trees/on the ground. They are
stronger/faster in the air + less manoeuverable close to the ground. They have
a "tomial tooth" a projection on the upper beak with a corresponding
notch on the lower one. This serration allows them to kill their prey immediately
with a bite to the back of the neck and they do not generally have to contend
with a struggling victim as the hawks do/was found almost everywhere except in
the arid tropical deserts/have almost completely disappeared from east of the
Rockies/Andes.
Horus and The Falcon in Mythology
Peregrine Falcon has been regarded as a mystic bird and often as a
messenger from another world/stranger in ours. N. American Indians believe it
to be a messenger that brings us guidance from the spirit world. It was in
Egyptian mythology that the Falcon found its most powerful expression. Horus,
which means "the distant one" or "that which is above", was
the most important of the many Falcon Gods in Bei vielen Völkern spielen Falken
eine Rolle in der Mythologie. In der Ägyptische Mythologie hat der
Sonnengott Horus, der die finsteren Mächte besiegt, den Kopf eines Falken. In
der nordischen Mythologie trägt die Göttin Freya ein Falkengewand, mit dem sie
je nach Lesart wie ein Falke durch die Lüfte gleiten kann oder sich gar in einen
solchen verwandelt. Bei den Kelten zählte der Falke als Übermittler zwischen
Diesseits und Jenseits. In der slawischen Mythologie ist der Falke (Sokol) eine
Gestalt der Sonne und des Lichtes. Er ist bekannt für seinen großen Mut, seine
scharfen Augen, und er kann in kürzester Zeit große Distanzen durchmessen.
Deshalb ist er besonders der Vogel der Krieger. Die Helden der russischen
Märchen verwandeln sich gerne in Falken, um schwierige Aufgaben zu bewältigen.
Die heldenhaften Eigenschaften waren wohl auch der Grund, warum die
tschechisch-nationale Turnervereinigung Sokol heißt. Egyptian Mythology.
Osiris and his sister-wife Isis ruled Egypt and had brought agriculture,
peace and prosperity. Their brother Seth was jealous and overthrew Osiris,
cutting him into small pieces that he dispersed and buried all over Egypt. Isis
gathered the pieces of her husband and joined them together. In the form of a
Kite she covered his body and with her wings beat air into his mouth, animating
him long enough for him to impregnate her before he departed to rule over the
dead. Horus (= child of this union) was hidden from his uncle in the papyrus
marshes of the Nile Delta and brought up in secret by his mother. Horus is
often iconographically depicted as a vulnerable child (sucking at Isis's
breast/sitting on her lap sucking his fingers).
On coming of age Horus, guided by his mother's guile and forensic skills
set about persuading the Court of the Gods that the Kingdom of Egypt had been
usurped by his Uncle and was rightfully his. As a sky god his right eye was
said to represent the Sun and his left the Moon. In one of the numerous
contests and incidents between Horus and Seth, the left eye of Horus was
shattered.
Through the magic of Thoth the eye was restored to perfection and became
the Udjat, a human eye surrounded by the Falcon's facial markings, this became
a symbol of soundness and perfection and of protection and purification. It was
one of the most potent amulets of protection and is still an immensely
powerful icon. The phases of the Moon reflect this shattering into small pieces
and healing to wholeness. Falcon + Pharaoh = God and Ruler of Egypt = one and
the same. The Hieroglyph of the Falcon therefore meant kingship and is always
found preceding the name of a Pharoah.
Falcon sitting on a hand risen out of mud, shaped the earth out of mud
On the whole Falconry takes advantage of the natural instincts of the
birds. In Falconry a dog is used to "point" the position of the
quarry. The dog stays absolutely still while the Falcon is let slip and given
time to climb in a circling motion. When the Falcon is in position, the dog
puts up the quarry and the bird stoops on it at great speed, killing or
stunning it. The Falcon brings its prey to the ground and mantling, spreading
its wings tent-like over its prey, it begins
to plume it, pluck its feathers out. The Falconer must approach quickly
while the bird is engrossed and if he offers a lure of fresh meat. The Falcon
will instinctively take it, offering the falconer a chance to snatch the quarry
and catch
the bird by its jesses. The Falcon is given a small part of the kill,
the "faire courtoisie".
The training of the Falcon is necessary partly to make the bird used to
people and the accoutrements of the hunt, but most importantly to give the
falconer a way of calling the bird back to him. This is done by creating a
Pavlovian
response to the sight of the lure and the sound of a particular whistle.
Just as the falcon is at the top of his food chain so man is at the top
of his and the fate that almost befell the falcon might yet happen to him. The
story of the Peregrine Falcon and pesticides was a major part of the
realization that
mankind was no longer subject to nature but had in his power the ability
to destroy the world in which he lived. This realization led to an awareness of
ecology and the birth of the green movement, but it also resulted in a terror
for
what might happen and a feeling that only we are responsible for
whatever happens to us.

The birds usually hunt in the early morning and again in the evening.
Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a
scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made
structures.
The Peregrine Falcon lives mostly along mountain ranges, river valleys,
coastlines, and increasingly in cities.
In mild-winter regions, it is usually a permanent resident, and some
individuals (adult males), will remain on the breeding territory.
A pair mates for life and returns to the same nesting spot annually. The
courtship flight includes a mix of aerial acrobatics, precise spirals, and
steep dives.
The pair defends the chosen nest site against other Peregrines, and
often against ravens, herons and gulls.
The male brings the food close to the nest and passes it to the female
in mid air. This can be an impressive display as they both fly vertically up,
chest to chest, and pass the food from talon to talon.
They often chase their siblings in playful games and the adults will
drop dead and then life prey near them teaching the young birds to take their
food in mid air and eventually to hunt.
Apart from such anthropogenic threats as collision with human-made
objects, the Peregrine may be killed by large eagles or large owls.
