Crow

Keynote: The Secret Magic
of Creation is Calling
Cycle of Power: All Day--All Year

November 22-24, 2019
Camp Asbury, Hiram, Ohio

Smartest of all birds. It has the ability to outwit most birds, animals, and humans. They have a great mysticism and mythology about them.

The first noticeable trait is the color black. It is the color of creation, the womb out which the new is born, the color of night, and the maternal color. Thus, the black night gives birth to the new day. It reminds us magic and creation are very much alive during the day. It represents the void, grace, each moment of infinite possibilities, "nigredo", the initial and/or primordial state of substance, unformed, but full of potential.

It is a sentinel posted for watchfulness. It is a reminder that if we are not watchful for magic during the day, we could be attacked. Watchfulness warns us and others of intruders and threats.

Their ability to warn is connected to its voice. It has a complex language and remarkable voice range. Learning to understand the language of the crows is something we all can do with practice. The cawing of the crow should remind us that magic and creation are cawing out to us each day.

It has great intelligence and is very adaptable. It can eat almost anything. It has a unique ability to communicate and to work together. It is hard to get near them in the wild, reflecting that people have little awareness or realization of the magic necessary to create or recreate their life.

They have connections to past-lives and archetypal forces that can connect with us. They can predict tornadoes, rain, and other changes in weather by the way they fly. Working with crows can help you to see how the winds are going to blow into your life and how to adjust your own life flights. They appear in Greek-roman mythology, Chinese, Alaskan, Celtic, and Biblical lore, and Norse tradition.

Wherever crows are, there is magic. They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength. They remind us to look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. They are messengers calling to us about the creation and magic that is alive within our world every day and available to us.
