Little about Garuda:

The Garuda is daring and fearless and abides in the north. With great strength and power it soars beyond without holding back.

It is a powerful antidote to the negative influences of Nagas (spirits) which can cause disease and all kinds of harm. Associations: main quality is wisdom, dominance over the sky, and the fire element.
