Crow Spirit Animal

Crow had been calling quite incessantly outside of my window. What message did it have for me or the Astrology of Britney Spears video I was recording?

From Ted Andrews’ “Animal-Speak” - Keynote: The Secret Magic of Creation is Calling, Cycle of Power: All Day - All Year

… the first noticeable characteristic about this bird is its striking black color. Sometimes it will have hints of deep blue and purple on the feathers as well. Black is the color of creation. It is the womb out of which the new is born. Although the crow is a diurnal or daytime bird, it reminds us that magic and creation are potentials very much alive during the day.

… the ability to warn is connected to the crow’s second, most-noticeable characteristic - its voice. The crow is actually a member of the songbird family because of its voice box structure. Although few think of the crow as a songbird, there have been many claims (unsubstantiated) over the years that when it is alone, it will sing in a soft, musical voice.

Crows have a complex language. They have a remarkable voice range, but they actually do not sing They can caw in many different ways, each with its own meaning. Learning to understand the language of crows is something we all can do with practice.

Crows and all corvines are easily imprinted with the image of their keeper. Those who have had crows as pets have found them extremely trainable, with an ability to count and develop a complex communication with their owner. And yet in the wild, even though they are constantly seen and heard, it is hard to get near them. Again I have found that it reflects for most people little awareness or realization of the magic necessary to create or recreate their life.

Crows have a great mythology about them. This can reflect not only past-life connections to those times and cultures, but it also reflects some of the archetypal forces that it can connect with us… Working with crows can help you see how the winds are going to blow into your life and how to adjust your own life flights.

… in the Norse tradition, the god Odin had two ravens who were his messengers.

Wherever crows are, there is magic. They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength. They remind us to look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. They are messengers calling to us about the creation and magic that is alive within our world everyday and available to us.

Thank you, Crow, for the magical message!
