My family and I were coming home from town and I saw a crow. Thinking it was just a regular bird I said “Hey dad did you see that crow?” he said “No” then I asked my mother and two sisters they all said No. I knew I didn’t imagine the crow so I sat quietly thinking about the bird, then two miles down the road I saw it again, next four miles down the road again, then we were at the driveway to my house and on top of the fence post another crow. Naturally, I was the only one who saw it even after pointing it out. I am positive now that the crow is my spirit animal.
I am getting a crow Tattoo to remember my transformation.
Hi there I keep seeing crows around my house and the fields beyond. I went on a spirit journey and I saw a beautiful navy bird who called himself “rave”. I asked him if he was my spirit guide, and he awnsered” for now child”. What does he mean?
It means you have more than one Spirit Animal… possibly due to maybe harboring more than one soul?

On January 27 I was shot three times I noticted that whole day three crows in my backyard. An even when the shots rang out they never left. And a week later they constantly flew by my hospital window everyday. I had one bullet rip through my neck one missed my heart by one millimeter and one rip througgh my hip. Just wondering what they mean. Iconsider them guardians
About a month or two before Tom passed, there were 2 crows living in our pasture, I’d see them every morning and at dusk. Noisy little fuckers. I spent a lot of time on our deck. About a week before he passed, I was on our deck just before dark. There are family and friends in and out a lot now, hospice has been here. I look up and see a bunch of crows flying directly over our house, then more, then more, then it dwindles, then more, then more, seriously about a half hour of crows. I go in the house and ask whoever was there at the time if crows migrate…no one knows. A week or so later Tom passes and I notice there are no crows. Not the 2 in the pasture, not anywhere. The day I bring toms ashes home there is one crow in the trees above our deck, squawking like crazy at me. I’m a little freaked out now about the crow thing. I have to start packing shit up now, the house sold, but I’m renting back til jan1. As I’m packing the spare bedroom I find a wooden heart a friend made me that says Tom + Dianne. I pick it up and underneath is a crows feather. Now I’m really freaked.
I had memorial necklaces with toms ashes made for all the women in my family. A couple of months later my littlest sister wore hers to work. When she parked her car, a crow landed right In front of her and was yelling at her. Freaked her out, and she cried the rest of the day at work. About a month ago, my other sister and I are swimming with her family. We are standing close together laughing and talking. All of a sudden out of nowhere a huge crow sweeps down and flies no higher then 2 feet directly above our heads and flies out of sight. What’s your insight? Weird! I think it’s him, but does that make me nuts?
Sent from my iPad
yes
I don’t think ur crazy! I find ur situation very interesting. Try and figure out if they r trying to hurt u or protect u. If they want to hurt u get some sage and burn it around ur house and probably around the people who r involved in this. Don’t worry it smalls good. Hope it helps good luck.
In Hindu belief, Crow is associated with Yama, the god of death. As per ritual of a dead, the crows are offered cooked rice balls and when they eat it, its considered helpful for the soul to transced to the other world.
When a crow caws at your house, it is considered that an unexpected guest will arrive. If a crow sits on one’s head it is assumed that his death is near. Many people send false message of death about such a person to ward off the bad omen.
At my place there are two crows who come at our window and caw until we give them to eat. They come several times a day and one of the crows has one crooked paw. We some time give them egg yokes or left over fish or meat and the next 2 days they wont accept anything vegetarian and keep cawing.
Someone said its not a good omen that crows come to your window, instead they should be fed away from home. But its not easy to stop them from coming,as they are coming since several months. Can anyone further guide about it? Thanking in anticipation.
I recently found out that a crow was the animal symbol associated with my family crest since the 15000s. I thought this was weird because as long as I can remember there was a crow watching over me and my parents house. It was always there on the power line or in the tree. When my sister died I remember seeing a crow in the cemetery and then there were two that stayed near my parents house. When I bought my own house 4 years ago a murder of crows moved into a tree behind my property shortly after I moved in. My neighbor said they were never there before. It seems like crows seem to watch over me. Even at work the sit in the tree that I park under when seagulls are everywhere else in the lot.
I have had three experiences with crows and ravens. The first was when a raven hit my window in school. The thud was alarming and strange. It sounded like a drum. The second was when we went on a trip and I saw two fields full of them. As in, cluttered over the ground like specks of dust. The last was in the car park when a crow landed on a tree opposite my mum’s car. The sun was setting and the crow looked like a very familiar picture I had see. Crown and sunset. I have a very keen interest in the moon and wolves. I plan to get a tattoo. Anyway, I found out ravens are considered ‘wolf-birds’. I am trying to connect the dots and I’m hoping someone could help me. I adore the moon and stars, I prefer darkness to light, I love wolves, ravens and crows, I’m afraid of dying but I’m not afraid of death. I need answers.
I had total of 3 encounters with crows, first time a young blue eyed crow fell out of the nesr anf I felt sorry for her, sp I caught her and put her on a nearby tree, while I had her in my hands she was calm and was very friendly. Second time I found another young crow, and I thought of taking her home with me, at first I put her into a big birdcage and had ger for a few minutes on the balcony. At that time, she started to call the other crows and they responded to her, so I took her back outside. At first I was holding her in my handsand when I decided to let her go, she climbed onto my arm and was looking at me, while the afult crows surounded me. I took her to the place where I found her, but she didnt want to leave yet, I was even petting her on the head and back and holding her legs so that she dorsnt fall down. When she finally decided it was time to ho, she jumped down from my hand, turned around and looked at mr, and went on calling her parents. And the third time found again a young crow, at the same place as the second onr, but this one was standing on a fence. I slowly approached her and she let me pet her while the other crows were watching. After those encounters it seems that the crows act diffirent towards me, as they sense I am their friend. At those times when young crows learn to fly, a few of my friends got attacked by the crows, whule I was able to come near them, without any consequences. By this three cases I can be 100% sure that the crow is my totem and I usually am a fan of crows :)
I was leaving my cousins funeral at the graveyard and on our drive back my boyfriend was driving I was in passenger seat my kids in back..I was looking down when I heard my boyfriend yell out so I looked up and right in my face a black crow flew into my windshield. It was a loud hard hit. I’m shocked it didn’t bust out my windshield but there wasn’t a scratch. I felt so scared and of course bad for the bird. After that I had 5 family members die within 5 months it was a hard hit to my family
There was this one time a crow was sitting on a bench in the bush. When we were trying to get a lighter. Than we tried hitting it with a rock, it didn’t move. Even though we missed it. But then we threw another one & next thing we hit it.. And it sounded as if it screamed at us. A human scream. We ran away and checked again, it was still there. So we went through another way and it was gone. When we kept going back group of crows would be around and cawing at us.
You have the same name as me and I always see crows around my house and there is always one out side my window. Every time I wake up in the morning I would hear it and then it come back in the middle of the day and just before night time. I have a feeling it is the same crow that has be near me since 2010. :/ It’s creepy. :/
Holy crap my name is Tia also…
Tia- You are horrible & cruel! Whatis wrong with you??? Why were you trying to hurt an innocent animal? People like you should feel and experience the hate and pain that you inflict on others, especially animals. If you notice negativity in your life- be aware that you brought it in with your bad behavior & arrogance.
I hope you change your ways and become kind to animals- remember the Golden Rule also applies to animals, nature and the Earth!!!!
Tia that was actually a possible relative of yours or a spirit guide. Crow are messengers from the spirit world. They are the most vocal spirit. They can actually talk as well, depending on how urgent a spirit wants to deliver a message. The fact you hears a human scream proves my point. This may sound crazy too you and other modern humans but the ancients knew this quite well.
Tia, It is a known, scientific fact that crows become angry when humans try to harm them and will remember that human’s face for years. They also will communicate it to other crows regarding the human and warn them of this human. This study was conducted through the University of Washington. What a shame that you and your friends were cruel to this animal. I seriously think that maybe you need to experience having a rock thrown at you. You are not a nice human.
My sister just had a baby girl this morning, such great news because it is what she wanted and was convinced she was having a boy, I am also pregnant with my first. This morning as I stepped out of my house for work a crow was on the lawn and flew on top of my roof. Superstition has it, if it lands on your house someone in that house is going to pass away…I am fucking freaking out.
Actually, if a crow lands on your house, it means that you are protected. Ancestors can often take the form of a crow. So it might be an older relative visiting to make sure that your future child will be OK and to “see” the other child. This is a good thing. You will see.
Really?!! That is awesome, that is a better sign than someone passing away, thank you for the positive vibe, I really needed that. :D
