Swan-Eala: Soul, Love, Beauty
Eala brings us the qualities of soul-of love and depth, grace and beauty.
Being associated with the Druid festival time of Samhuinn, the swan is also a bird of the threshold, and represents that part of us which can travel into the Otherworld.
Drawing this card may indicate that you will receive inspiration from the Otherworld, or that love in entering into your life.
It is auspicious to draw this card if you are preparing to write a song or poem, for the swan’s skin and feathers were used to make the bard’s ceremonial cloak, the tugen.

This card may mean that you need to come to terms with a separation. The old tales of the swan show that in reality there is no separation from the ones that we love-only a transformation from one form to another
But to continue your journey in this world, we need to say "good bye" to those that we are separated from, even though we know that ultimately we may be together again,
The Separation we are faced with, however, may be internal rather than external, and Eala may be calling us to connect more deeply with our own soul
