The Crow As Animal Totem
The crow as an animal totem is a symbol of transformation and change, of leaving the past behind in readiness for the birth of something new. Crow is the left-handed guardian who knows the unknowable mysteries of creation and is the keeper of all sacred law. There are several species of crow. Raven is one of them and the magpie is another. Crow medicine people are masters of illusion. Do not try to figure crow out. It is the power of the unknown at work and when crow turns up in your life something special is about to happen.
Crow is the guardian of ceremonial magic and healing. In any healing environment Crow is present. It guides the magic of healing and the change in consciousness that brings about a new reality and dispels dis-ease and illness. You can rest assured that when crow is around, magic is at work in your life and it is likely that you are about to experience a change of consciousness. Crow can give you the courage to enter the darkness of the void, which is the home of all that has not yet manifested itself on the physical plane of life.
Crow is territorial and won’t give up an area without a fight. Like their animal totem, crow people are loners who like to spend lots of time on their own, thinking their own thoughts and experiencing the world of their own feelings.
When crow is your totem, you need to be willing to walk your talk and speak your truth. Put aside your fear of being a voice in the wilderness and ‘caw’ the spirit messages that are coming to you intuitively. Crow is an omen of change. If it keeps appearing in your life it may wish to tell you that your voice is a powerful one when it addresses issues that are not easily understood and when things can be brought into balance again through the knowledge God and the Angels are bringing through you.
Crows are messengers from the spirit realm that dwells beyond time and space. When you meet crow, it could be telling you that there will be changes in your life and that possibly you should step off the path used by the many and take another view of reality by looking for the answers to your questions to your inner guidance. Walk your talk, be prepared to let go of old thinking and behaviour patterns, false beliefs and prejudices. Embrace new ways of being and perceiving yourself and our world, instead.
Crow is the sacred guardian of the Universal laws. Crow medicine signifies a firsthand knowledge of a higher order of what is right and wrong that reaches beyond the earthly plane. Crow medicine provides you with a powerful voice for addressing issues that are no longer of value to your world, for the simple reason that by now they have turned out to be unjust and untrue, and therefore are disturbing its harmony and balance.
Crow people let their personal integrity be their guide and with this their sense of being on their own in our world disappears. Their personal will emerges and that enables them to stand confidently by the truth that is coming to them. Even though they are mindful of other people’s opinions, they are willing to walk the predestined pathway of their life by what they recognise as the truth. Aware of their life’s mission, they are capable of balancing past, present and future in the here and now. Shape-shifting old realities gives them the power of becoming their future selves in the here and now of their present earthly existence. Through this they can make a valuable contribution to the birth of the new Earth as a place where peace, balance and harmony, honesty and truth are the supreme rulers.
