Now what? I am hoping to find a way to lovingly harvest the feathers.
Near my home in Minneapolis, there is a park where 1000’s of crows roost at night. This park is where I found the body during the day. No other crows around. I have had several crow interactions including a shamanic journey as a crow.

I believe that crows are another form of dreams and magic. They could have just taken that form when they crossed into our world, since magic isn’t available in this universe rather than the alternate reality.
Yesterday a crow sat near my place of worship and refused to leave after my son tried to chase it away. I then put it into a fishing net that had ano opening big enough for it to escape .we prayed inside as usual and I fed it with bread and water and upon awaking in the morning I found that it had left and before our prayer we suffered a heavy storm .so I’m proud that I had sheltered it from the storm. Is it a good sign or bad
We had a crow sit outside our widow and it was like it was talking to us ..it did that for a while until we closed our window what could be the meaning of this
Hi,
I had a crow flying into my window and wake me up yesterday. I’m not sure if it was flying carelessly, made a wrong turn and ended up into my window frame then tried to regain balance to just fly away. But he sure “attacked” my window like crazy before leaving. It lasted a few seconds I think. There aren’t that many crows where I am. I heard that crows could be a way for the universe to send you precise messages… Could that be true? And what type of messages do they usually convey?
Thanks for your insight!
