CROW MEDICINE

just a few weeks before starting this journal, i was guided to ask for an animal sign during a medicine wheel teleclass by maria yraceburu. three crows showed themselves and another three flew by the following day. crow also showed itself to me through this striking image, reminding me of crow medicine and the power of asking.

these are lessons that resonated with me from crow, affirming the creation of this journal:

>>> be mindful of your opinions and actions. you need to walk your talk, to speak your truth and to know your life's mission. again, trust your intuition and personal integrity, to create your own standards, whether or not they match those of the world around you. be an individual, think for yourself, don't necessarily follow the crowd!


>>> crow is an omen of change. crows live in the void and have no sense of time, therefore being able to see past, present and future simultaneously. they unite both the light and the dark, both the inner and the outer. crow is the totem of the great spirit and must be held with utmost respected. they are representations of creation and spiritual strength.

>>> crows are messengers, telling us about the creation and magic all around us, that is available to us just for the asking. look for opportunities to bring into being the magic of life. the striking black colour of the crow represents the colour of creation. it is the womb out of which the new comes into existence. black is the colour of the night, giving birth to the light of a new day.

>>>as crows are adaptable to all environments and will eat almost anything, they can survive in almost any situation. crow is surrounded by magic, unseen forces and spiritual strength. if crow enters your life, get out of your familiar nest, look beyond your present range of vision, listen to the message(s) in its caw and act accordingly.
