farewell, good hunter
The Cat and the Comma

Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

I rename you ‘Everything.’”

fun fact!

Vultures are also responsible for keeping diseases at bay.

Vulture stomach acid is so powerful that it can kill anthrax and many other deadly diseases.

So when they consume the carcass of a creature that has died of disease, they actually destroy the disease within it too!

So yes vultures are 100% holy creatures because they not only eat the dead, but protect the living from death.

I’m actually working on a Druid that’s whole thing is “decay, while frightening, is the natural order of all things and is in fact good.” And all of her wild shapes are going to be scavengers, especially the vulture.
