Crows
are incredibly intelligent creatures. In fact, their brain/body size ratio is
the same as that of a chimpanzee; and we all know how intelligent chimps are.
Crows have an excellent memory and a complex vocabulary. When one crow is
exploring something new, the others in the flock watch and learn from the
experience. Crows will make a huge ruckus when hunters are around, which alerts
other animals, like deer, rabbits and other birds. They know they are most
vulnerable when they are feeding and post lookouts to watch for any danger.
Some
cultures consider crows to be the keepers of the Sacred Laws because nothing
escapes their keen eyesight.
Crows
can travel back and forth between dimensions and, because of this, can deliver
messages to the dead. Other traditional meanings associate the crow with bad
omen and dark witchcraft.
The
crow also carries the power of prophetic insight and is associated with the
core of creation. There is a great deal of symbolism surrounding crows. Below is a list of the most common.
Change
If
you suddenly begin seeing crows everywhere, there could be a huge change coming
into your life. Crows are able to adapt
easily to any environment and will eat almost anything.
So,
when a crow presents itself to you it is reminding you that you can adapt to
anything and that now is the time for major change to take place in your
environment.
Clairvoyance or magic
Crows
not only bring the message of change, but remind us about the creation and
magic all around us. Black is the color
of the night, giving birth to the light of a new day.
This
is a representation of the immense power each and every one of us holds to take
hold of our own destiny. It is also said
that the crow appearing to you is a sign for you to use your “second sight,” or
clairvoyance.
This
is a gift that allows you to see beyond what we are humanly capable of and can
allow us to see into the spirit dimension.
Death
This
is the symbol most associated with the crow.
Some say that the crow is able to guide souls into the afterlife.
It
is also believed that, when death is near, a crow will come to a window or near
a home repeatedly for several days before the passing takes place.
After
someone has passed, a crow will visit the home again in the same way. If this happens, it means the crow is
bringing a message from the one who has just passed.
It’s
important to pay attention to when and where the crow appears as it’s a sign of
the message being sent.
