I committed suicide back in 07 and my mind has been in shambles. If it wasnt for my mother I would not be here now. This article made me want to embrace animal instead of run from it. I remember there would be crows everywhere I went. I thought they we a sign of death and bad luck maybe this connection/clarity that I needed
Hello, so my father died 6 months ago. On october23. My mother for the last month has been pestered by a crow day and night. It hangs out on her back fence and caws. she asked me to see if that had any meaning. She said she hears what sounds like a bird hitting her back door windows. She even got woken up by it. She doesn’t know if it’s the crow but it’s something. Any thoughts on this would be amazing. Thanks
Crow and Raven are the link between the real world and the dream we are living. They come to us, in some cases like this shouting that someone or something is trying to contact us and is not being heard. Especially in the cases of suicide or murder, our loved ones that have passed need to be in touch because of the trauma they have gone through, the feelings of regret and loss and confusion. Even if someone in the family is sensitive it is best to consult a medium or channeller asap to allow all the parties involved to be heard by each other. There is much to be shared and healing yet to occur. Good Luck.
My apologies, the last reply was meant for the inquiry just below this one, though basically the message is the same. Crows are incredibly intelligent which is why they are such effective messengers from the other side. Heed their contact, they ‘know’ and share. Yes your father is trying to trig to be heard.
I agree Phil. Thanks for sharing your insight.
I have a question. A friend of my stepson committed suicide recently in very unpleasant circumstances. My stepson stayed at the bereaved family’s house this week and as awakened at 5.00 am by a crow flying into the window. There were 5 or 6 windows in the room and the crow flew into every one (the windows were closed and the crow kept battering into them, one by one). bout 20 attempts were made by the bird. Could this have a supernatural meaning? If so, what

Hi. Yesterday I went to look out my window and just as i did a crow landed in the tree right next to my window and flew away. Then this morning as I walked to school three crows stood in front of me. They flew just above me and I heard a single caw. Im not sure if this means anything but if it does please let me know what you think. Also, crows aren’t that common in my area.
I’ll take being a crow, seems like a pretty sweet gig. Smart bird who can be a troll… yeah that’s totally me actually.
I recently had a dream in which I had a crows head tattooed on my right shoulder. It covered my shoulder, the beak was pointing towards my neck with one eye in front an one eye in back. Anyone have any ideas about this?
Wow… great mind
That sounds pretty cool JJ. I believe your subconscious is telling you to investigate crow wisdom and be aware of what is happening around you to make sense of the message.
Hi,
Am glad I found this site!
Of late, have been intrigued by crows, they seem to draw my attention to them!
They call out from near, they fly close by, when I move under open sky, I would see a pair cawing and playing in the sky!
When ever I look at them, I see that they are looking directly at me!
Would love to understand more about them….. coz am really fascinated by the world beyond …I believe there is more to life than what we see with our physical eyes!
Waiting to understand more….gather more wisdom! Unravel the mystery…
have a great day!
Namaste,
Well this explains alot. For instants the constant de ja vu I have where things that I saw in dreams happen. Or the fact that it feels like this bird stalks me everywhere I go.
I love animals and I read a book about spirit animals. Last night I took this quiz and found out I was a crow. I feel like the description really fits me, but my family doesn’t feel the same. Yet I do act differently around myself and friends compared to how I act around family. Today I quizzed a bunch of my friends hoping to find another crow but they where all owls. I checked to see if the quiz was incorrect but it was not. Does this mean anything? Are most crows friends with owls?
Is that why I see many crows
Crows are vey interesting creatures. I have on many occasion fed them in my backyard.
There has been a crow trying to enter my house these past couple of days. It sits by the back sliding glass door and crows. It will also try to open the door with its talons, or fly into the door. Any suggestions to the meaning?
crows also deal with big changes in life… I’m not an expert but they do deal with changes maybe a big change will happen in your life.
Be careful; crows are instinctively of past and present. The very nature of duality of life but show exactly what true balance is. As crows can be for enlightenment of life but as well as death. Be a skeptic; open your senses (vision, smell, hearing, feeling) to the crow cautionary and try to understand what the crow is trying to communicate to you.
I saw today when I woke up an crow at my balcony.. It was black with brown and was watching the road..when I taked the phone to take an picture,it was not there anymore. I dont know if this a sign or not.. Im afraid becouse my brother is sick.. Please answer me if this could mean something.. Thank you
Camill, you don’t have anything to fear. If the crow is your spirit animal, which is mine as well, they will often show up to give you knowledge. Mostly when I see one come to me, good things happen, so don’t be afraid to see one. More than likely the crow was coming to you as a comfort to trust that everything will be Ok. If the crow is not your spirit animal and comes to you, that can mean more, such as a omen or a direction to follow. Listen to your heart. Spirit animals, that are your chosen ones, when they come, are there to help you. Crows also bring mystic wisdom and most whose spirit animals are the crow are psychics, mystics, wizards, witches, etc. or have a higher intuition than others. I hope that clears things up for you.
