The Crow, a Spirit Animal Symbolic of Magic
Crows are commonly associated with magic and the power to manipulate physical appearances. Ted Andrews in his classic on animal totems “Animal Speak” mentions that we can find crows are common animals that we can find all around the globe. As such, they are a reminder that magic is everywhere. When you encounter a crow, just tune into its behavior and it will give you a clue on how to use the magic powers it carries.
Only last night he felt deadly sick, and, after a great deal of pain, two black crows flew out of his mouth and took wing from the room.

This morning I was driving to work in a crowded business area of town. Suddenly a crow flew slowly and very low directly in front of me. I was told I am of Choctaw decent on my father’s aide. I just found this mornings experience intriguing.
Wow my family is of the Shasta tribe. By any chance is your family from Mississippi?
Choctaw is another name for Shasta btw 🤗
Today I was having lunch with a friend and sharing some are being poetry and my crow art photos. Later on my walk there was a crow hurt in the middle of the road. Everyone just walked by and cars almost hitting it. I got it to fly to a safe area by the court house; even a nurse was too busy to help to completion. I never gave up and went into the Halifax, Nova Scotia court and asked the security to help and they did. I left the crow with them that is now safe in a box and will be taken care of; very spiritual experience. If anyone can offer wisdom to this encounter I would appreciate it.
I was walking back home one day then all of a sudden a big crow flies on top of my hair I have dread locks but i felt it land by that time i was startled and it made a noise and flew away into a tall tree I’m also terrified of birds but I would like your perception of this
I fell asleep for five minutes I had a dream that around five crows we’re flying near me so I put my hands over my face to avoid them so they wouldn’t fly into me and one crow landed on my fingertips and sat there and I pulled my hands slowly from my face to look at him and then I woke up I knew this Crow was trying to tell me something
Found a baby crow in my front yard. Must have fallen from the redwood tree. It’s fledging, so I put a plate of wet bread and made a nest out of an old sweater for it. Been pretty worried about the lil thing. Hope the neighborhood cats don’t get to it.
This morning a crow woke me up. Must have been a few feet from my window. The only thing I can think of for the past 4 or 5 days after work I honk at a crow on a gate. I don’t know if it’s the same crow.
I’ve been experiencing alot of crow activities they seem to be appearing since 2009 and started again 2018 around may when I moved to Florida somehow I realized I have very bad luck or an adventure well both and sometimes seeing warnings but when something happens I feel I’ve could of done something about it and my behavior his changing and the truth to me is no matter what we are at war with the world and within ourselves and trying to find peace my crow show me who I am and how I acknowledge the help the crow is giving me but sometimes I’m still having trouble what the crow is telling me like when I see the crow I get very nervous and start looking everywhere around to see signs either in my home and outside my home like waiting for something to happen and it drives me crazy.
Your test did no ot work for me. I am asthmatic and do not spend a lot of time outdoors. Also I am an Engineer and spend a lot of time reading. I do help people but do not have to be Mother Theresa to feel good about myself. Crows have been coming to me for many years now. A rabbit came to say goodbye before I moved and to thank me for the food. I have been a psychic since I was a child. Since I died I can even see and talk to ghosts. I am a Cherokee Indian.
Fanica. Why do crows go to you? Why do crows follow people.
