A really big crow flew on to my head this morning! I am actually terrified of them! It pulled my bun out of my hair then lay on the ground flapping & squawking for a few seconds!! Does this have any meaning ?
I was walking from my car to a mailbox a short distance across a parking lot, and a crow swooped down and dug it’s talons into my scalp. Then he did it again on the way back. I thought I was crazy! But there was a grandfather and his grandson who pointed him out in a line up on the roof. I was parked next to a smaller tree, but could not find a nest! That was in June in San Francisco. Then in September I found a painting in my price range in Gran Marais, MN! Freaky! The painting hangs in my living room as a reminder. I guess I was chosen!
Two very large crows have decided to live in trees behind my back yard fence.
What I have noticed is that when I go outside to water the grass, they immediately fly out of the trees and over my head. Are they protecting me?
I was in my maths room, when a crow flew down and perched on the windowsill less then a meter away. Specifically it was a “little crow”. It stopped, and just started at me for about twenty seconds, without breaking a gaze, then tapped on the window, either once or twice I’m not 100 per cent sure, then just flew away. Does this have any significance?
so im not truely spiritual or anything but i was always told that seeing things or having dreams all the time are meanings.and ever since i was a little girl i always saw crows and would dream about a white one sitting on top of a burnt down church.i dont understand this and would like some insight on what you think.
I recently discovered that the crow was my spirit animal. This news actually calmed me, since I thought they were a sign of death. Last year, EVERY time I would look out of the window at my English class, a crow or two would swoop down from the roof. I was the only person who saw this, at the moment. My grades were quite crap during that year, but my English grades were always the highest. This type of experience was weird for me, since I am not a religious person. Does this seem weird to anyone else, or is this occurrence normal?
we just moved into a new house. The people in the basement were drinkers,drugs and very loud and rude. After the landlord had too get a court order to get them out but since then our house has crows everywhere I mean 30-40 at a time all around the house every day. But when I asked what my totem was it came back numerous times as the owl, I’m confused.
Conrad… Today, on my way home from town, I saw a crow on the side of the road with a broken wing… I turned my car around and got out my “food cart” and left it some on the white line of the road… it came after the food but would not let me near… I knew that this was for me… Tomorrow I will return to see if I can see it again.. Would love to catch and help but don’t know…
I walked 9 miles to seek freedom and when I arrived at my destination 20+ crows flew over my head. It was amazing.
From last few days a black crow may ve same or not knowing on my kitchen glass window by beak tak tak tak on my window in morning what its mean its a good or bad sign tell me as soon as possiblr
I had the same thing happen to me. This went on for years and they would leave a mess at my front door. This year I realized what they wanted. Food
So every morning I leave them food. Mostly bread or left over chix bones.
I happen to feel wonderful watching the black crows. I hope this helps you as it took years for me to realize what they wanted
We used to have crows at our windows and I thought it was some kind of neat omen. Then one day my sister-in-law, who cleaned for us, said that it was because of the stale bread I threw out on the lawn. So much for the spiritual angle. We quit throwing the bread on the lawn and the crows disappeared.
I am always followed by crows wherever I go. last year I was in USA, they were there. The big one if it wants to attack me, black with white breast the smaller ones attacks it in numbers. I am confused. The big ones are aggressive towards me however the smaller ones protects me against the big ones. before all of this I use to see vultures wanting to attack me. And when I pass a rural area all the birds that eat meat will come owl, I mean all What does this mean to me Help me
Since childhood I’ve always had very vivid and memorable dreams, often featuring animals. Once in middle school I dreamt that I was alone on the playground of my elementary school. There was fog all around me, and it was daytime but the sky was dark. A murder of crows suddenly surrounded me and began stepping toward me muttering “savages, savages, savages…” I awoke afraid, but since then have had great respect for crows. I watch them interact with one another, I witness their intelligence and power in numbers, I defend them when friends call them scary and dark. I feel that crows remind me to challenge the way I see myself, the world around me, and to utilize my surroundings to solve problems. I’ve recently begun exploring my spiritual identity in depth, and I feel more connected to crows than ever.
I had a very scary dream about a crow.It had evil red eyes and hit me in my cest.
My son passed away 19 months ago and lately I am encountering crows everywhere I go. This morning as I stepped outside in my backyard to have coffee a murder of crows flew over me and landed in my neighbors tree. Does this mean something other than they have claimed that tree as their home? It feels to me like they are trying to tell me something as I never once have seen so many before my son passed away and I have lives here for 7 years. Would greatly appreciate any response.
Its seems as if the crows are telling you that you are incredibly strong for being able to move past something so horrible. As crows stand for death, they may even be marking that your son is with you.
I am sorry for your loss. The Crows speak to you and you are having a hard time with your loss. That is okay! The Crows dare you to examine death at a time when it is so real to you. A human would not get away with saying that to you now. The Crows invite you to dive in to death rather than fear for it. For many this is so scary and unthinkable. The forces of good and evil do surond death but evil does not triumph over death or crows.
are his intials or name on the tree or was he to young for that, sorry to stir emotions if I’m way off, hugs and blessings to you
