CROW – YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

Crows, as we all have grown up with, are known to be the messenger of day break. They are the household name almost every part of the globe. They are quite the most familiar birds. How many of us have not wakened up to the caws of a crow? We did not need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. Crows did the job very efficiently those days. Isn’t it?

They look ordinary unlike other majestic creatures but as I grew up, I learnt how extra-ordinary aspects this seemingly ordinary bird possesses. And when I started working on myself after so many twists & turns in life, to understand the patterns, the crow is one bird that gave me so much insights through the process. I am still a learner, still in the process though.

Coming to the spiritual symbolism or insights of the Crow: –

Crows demolish the insult that calling someone a “bird brain” which means silly or stupid. In fact, crows are considered among the most intelligent animals on the planet.

We find them almost every day. If it catches your attention, I would insist, then pause & reflect, what does it want to tell you. It cannot be without any connection to you.

As crows are known to sense the morning, so they bring the insights of hope, new beginning, change that is inevitable.
You spread some rice on the terrace to feed the crow, and it will never eat them alone. It will call the crows saying, food is available. So basically, crows are creatures of community & team work. That is what they mean to say, if in your situations you are drifting away from your team & doing things all alone
They often bring the message of guests, news, letter coming to your home. We were so much accustomed to the fact that if crow caws, a letter must be on its way.
They also caw or appear before you if they sense any kind of eerie or danger around you. My mother often says crows are also considered as the messenger of spirits in the other world. It is believed that our ancestors always want to save us from any danger. Crows often carry that message.
You become little more observant, you can also sense if the crow caws happily or otherwise.
If you are though a sudden upheaval in your life & a crow crosses your path, it could be a sign that you have an innate ability handle your situations.
In case you feel other people’s dramas ruffling your feathers, a crow coming in your path says don’t let them do so.
All of us are grown up with the Aesop’s fable, “The crow & the water in the pitcher.” If you are stuck in life, especially in your work place, and the crow appears before you, it could be asking you to think out-of-box. In fact, it is an affirmation that there is a brilliant solution exists.
Crows, as they are carrion-eaters, present at the time of death. Probably that makes them scary at times. But those times also it’s an affirmation that the departed soul is welcomed in the spirit realm. It just how we perceive it.
Often crows are fed at the time of death rituals. They are often associated with the people who have left us & gone to the other world. So, in our tradition feeding crows is often considered as feeding ancestor.
Crows not only are highly intelligent creatures but also have deep psychic ability. They often remind you either use your intelligence or trust your intuition.
Sometimes they also ask you to think on your feet, make some quick decisions.
Most importantly they assert by their appearance before you, you are not alone. The Divine is co-creating with you. You are protected. That’s why you are asked to be adaptable, instead of denial, accept change & truth. Magic happens, stay aligned with the Universe.
