Oh Nicole,, thank you for this information on crows! Well, I did not take this picture, but found it on the internet. I have not had an opportunity to take a good picture of one yet. Where I used to live three years ago, there were crows all around me, I loved to listen to them. I watch documentaries on crows; it has been found that crows remember people and their faces. I like that. :). I always stop and talk to them when they are close. :):)

Yes I knew about their mystery and magic, their deep colour is beautiful too, and while they may not be as beautiful as other birds, they are real characters, such expressiveness!

I do have some pictures of baby magpies that began flying just outside our home, last spring, they are close cousins to the crow, I will post them when I am on the main computer!
Have a good weekend, Nicole!
Caw! Caw!

It is a beautiful crow :) You are lucky you could take a picture of it... Last week, every day, a crow would call till I get out of the house and he would fly to a place where I could see him. I could never take a picture as this crow was restless and if he had a voice I would understand what he was saying insistently... Here what I found on the net about Crows, in a spiritual meaning. Maybe you will relate Tammy? :)

The crow is a spirit animal associated with life mysteries and magic.  The power of this bird as totem and spirit guide is provide insight and means of supporting intentions. Sign of luck, it is also associated with the archetype of the trickster; be aware of deceiving appearances.  If the crow has chosen you as your spirit or totem animal, it supports you in developing the power of sight, transformation, and connection with life’s magic.

Crow Symbolism : Throughout history, the crow has been associated with both positive and negative symbolic meanings. The most common are:

• Life magic; mystery of creation
• Destiny, personal transformation, alchemy
• Intelligence
• Higher perspective
• Being fearless, audacious
• Flexibility, adaptability
• Trickster, manipulative, mischevious

Other traditional meanings associate the crow with bad omen, death, and dark witchcraft. The crow also carries the power of prophetic insight and symbolizes the void or core of creation.

The Crow, a Spirit Animal Symbolic of Magic

Crows are commonly associated with magic and the power to manipulate physical appearances. Ted Andrews in his classic on animal totems “Animal Speak” mentions that we can find crows are common animals that we can find all around the globe. As such, they are a reminder that magic is everywhere. When you encounter a crow, just tune into its behavior and it will give you a clue on how to use the magic powers it carries.

Because of its affinity with life mysteries and magic, the crow is seen in many shamanic traditions as the spirit animal of choice for those who use magic and have the power to manipulate the law of our physical universe. The crow used to be the animal of choice of shamans, those who do witchcraft and shape-shifting.

Crow Symbolism and Life Mysteries

Crows have a usually black with tints of blue depending on the light shining on them. Their color is symbolic of the onset of creation, of the void or what has not taken form yet. Fascinating spirit animals, they carry the energy of life mysteries and the power for deep inner transformation.

As a spirit guide, the crow will guide you in getting in touch with life mysteries and develop your ability to perceive subtle shifts in energy within yourself and in your environment. It has the ability to go beyond the illusions, especially duality of right and wrong, inner and outer.

Crow Totem and Power of Insight

Crows are known to build their nests in very tall trees. Doing so, they can get a better vision or perspective on the rest of their surroundings. By affinity with this trait, those who have the crow as a spirit animal or totem will enjoy a position from where they can see things from a higher perspective.

The crow is also watchful of intruders and predators. The sound it makes is characteristic of a loud, strident bird noise that can warn the other members of it clan over great distance. When you see your crow spirit animal, be on the watch.
