The Crow is the left-handed guardian. Crow knows the unknowable mysteries of creation and is the keeper of all sacred law. There are several species of Crow. Raven is one of these and Magpies are 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 something special is about to happen. Crow is also the guardian of ceremonial magick and healing. In any healing circle, Crow is present. Crow guides the magic of healing and the change in consciousness that will bring about a new reality and dispel “dis-ease” or illness. You can rest assured whenever crows are around, magick is nearby and you are about to experience a change in consciousness. Crow can give you the courage to enter the darkness of the void, which is the home of all that is not yet in form. Crows are territorial and won’t give up an area without a fight. They are loners, seeming to like to spend time to themselves.

If you have a crow as a totem, you need to be willing to walk your talk and speak your truth. You must put aside your fear of being a voice in the wilderness and “caw” the shots as you see them. Crow is an omen of change. If he keeps appearing to you he may be telling you that you have a powerful voice when addressing issues that you do not quite understand or feel that they are out of balance.

Crows are the bearers of messages from the spirit world, and it is thought to dwell beyond the realm of time and space. When you meet Crow, he could be telling you that there will be changes in your life and that possibly you should step by the usual way you view reality and look into the inner realms…Walk your talk…be prepared to let go of your old thinking and embrace a new way of viewing yourself and the world.

Crow is the sacred keeper of the law. Crow medicine signifies a firsthand knowledge of a higher order of right and wrong than that indicated by the laws created in human culture. With crow medicine, you speak in a powerful voice when addressing  issues that for you seem out of harmony, out of balance, out of whack, or unjust.

When you learn to allow your personal integrity to be your guide, your sense of feeling alone will vanish. Your personal will can then emerge so that you will stand in your truth. The prime path of true Crow people says to be mindful of your opinions and actions. Be willing to walk your talk, speak your truth, know your life’s mission, and balance past, present, and future in the now. Shape-shift that old reality and become your future self. Allow the bending of physical laws to aid in creating the shape-shifted world of peace.

I found the article on the Crow very interesting.... I would like to introduce my friend Eddie, he came to stay with our family for a few months.. the effect was one that was mentioned... he served to bring our fighting family together.. and brought a new feeling of lightheartedness to us.  Unfortunately he dissappeared around halloween, perhaps a mean joke or just an unfortunate incident in the highway, but we still think and talk of him often... and miss him still.... here is his (and my) picture, that appeared as my senior picture in the high school yearbook..   Sara
