A crow almost flew directly into my window as I was sitting in my car with the window half down a bit just so happened I noticed it and panicked rolling it up I swear I thought I almost rolled his foot with the window. I couldn’t move trying to put this scenario together as I was speaking to someone about somebody who died the same day out of nowhere. I was estatic nonetheless paranoid. What does this mean ??
Lastly,
I am sitting in the car at work and window half down again a crow was close but this time calm and observing on a shopping cart literally right next to me he flew away came back then I rolled up my window as soon as I noticed him, someone walked by and he lefted for good this time. Smh ????????
On a basic physical level, it probably means that most people in your area who sit in their cars have food. Crows are very clever animals that are especially adept at finding regular food sources. Some studies suggest that they can even memorize faces and cars, tell their entire flock or “murder”, and follow a person of interest about. I would therefore not panic over this slightly unusual occurrence.
On the deeper, spiritual level, this experience seems to have rattled you rather deeply. Something to take into meditation would be the question, what were you afraid of? I challenge you to ponder several answers to this for a few minutes, and it may help uncover a way for you to grow, transform, and gain a higher perspective.

A crow just flied over my head. Is it good or bad? Please reply me sir/mam. Thank you
Some birds have an attitude and enjoy using their speed and agility to make bigger animals react. Crows do this a lot. It may have been testing your reaction. It’s also possible that you were getting close to its nest.
As for it being good or bad, I do not believe that anything is purely one or the other. It depends a lot more on how you act on it. If you now live in fear of crows or of something bad happening, it was a bad thing. If you can adopt the spirit of a crow and use your strengths to face challenges that look bigger than you, it was a good thing.
I experienced just spirit of crow within my meditation. I don’t know what I was thinking at that moment (maybe I wasn’t thinking at all..I don’t know) and then I saw a feather headdress in my mind. I knew that it was crow’s feathers and in the part where is forehead was head of crow. It was like crows head was my third (mind’s) eye. It was first and last time something like that happened to me.

In my life I observed that they are friends and warn you of impending spiritual danger by hovering anti clockwise overhead and if they sit on your wall and make noise, they tell us that someone who loves has made a plan of visiting you. What is true for one may not be true for others.
Well my name cowin and I looked up the meaning of that name and it said raven is their something to that

I love crows!!! There so magical!!! ????
I to am a crow. I have picked up and had a wild crow on my hand. This was the most beautiful experience that I have ever experienced with a wild animal. They have the most beautiful deep blue eyes and it allowed me to pet him like a cat for 10 – 15 minutes my husband was in awe. The other crowd were squawking yet we continue to admire each other. My husband and I choose to buy the house. We still hear them.
Lovely experience..Im in awe as well
