Today I left work an hour earlier, I was walking towards my bus stop as I heard the loudest caw caw sound. I knew it was a crow, and I was looking for the crow. As I laid my eyes on the crow, it was standing on a ledge right across from me and at that moment it flew right over my head. I almost thought the crow would touch the top of my head.
I was on the phone with my sister at the time, who I’m currently having problems with. Was the crow trying to tell me something? I’ve never been so close to a crow before.

I just had some crow encounters after finding out that a friend betrayed my trust and other issues involving personal strength and power. I believe the crow is messaging me. I just saw this link and liked reading your story J. Thanks :)
I had a dream the other night in which I was being initiated into a Native American tribe (no particular tribe that I recall). When they initiated me they stuck a spear just under the skin of my thigh and then told me that my name was Medicine Crow. Does this have any meaning to anyone out there who is knowledgeable about such things?
Hey man i need to show u something , we need contact.
I am new to this and open to suggestions but I’m also a little confused. I have read about signs and such buy after today I’m more than intrigued. This morning around seven am I heard a noise my son was sitting next to me so I went to check on my daughter she was asleep. I sat back down and heard it again. Again nothing abnormal. After an hour or so I heard it again got up and a crow was tapping on my window. I shooed it away but it just kept coming back. It then tapped on my bedroom window. I left came back two hours later the crow was sitting on top of my home flew down and started walking the handrail of my deck. mean while knocking on my window it would blow itself up and caw at me. I opened my windows and doors and the bird was now at my front door doing the same….. any insight to this?
Jessica, something similar happened to a friend of mine recently. There is definitely a message the crow is telling you. Meditate on it and you will know.
I know this article is specifically about crows. I have been told many of times that my spirit animal is a wolf. But I have always had weird encounters with birds ever since I was little. Here in the last month I had bird hit me in the head while making its way into my living room of my house. I easily caught it and let it go back outside and not even 2 weeks later I was in a drive through and had my windows rolled down and bird literally hoped in my car in the front seat just sat there staring at me and then flew out after about a minute. Every bird I’ve encountered have all been different so they aren’t specifically crows, ravens, or hummingbirds but this seems to happen often and I’m honestly just now realizing how frequently it does. anyone have any input? It would be great to have some feed back!
All birds are merely gods messangers the Corvus has exceptional powers =

DEEZ NUTZ!
2 of my uncles passed away recently in a space of exactly 90 days. Ever since the second uncle died unpleasantly of a sudden illness, my attention has been drawn by the cawing of black crows. The death of the second uncle was nothing less than tragic and I do not think he left in peace. Within a month of the second death, my marriage was fixed by my family with a guy I do not like. The wedding is in a month and I have no way out. I do not know what to make out of all this.
You deserve to be happy you are universe goddess
I really do not know how I can be happy under the circumstances. My 2nd uncle passed away on the 90th day of the first uncle’s demise and the weird thing is my wedding is scheduled to be held on the 90th day of the second uncle’s death. And I see crows cawing at me whenever I step out, and I feel like I am being warned. I dont know if I am being paranoid.
What does it mean when two crows cawing straight at me everytime they see me
To me it’s weird cause its my first time seen that…but what does it mean?
There is a crow who has been making noise on our window from last few days. It became obvious when it became a everyday affair. Earlier we ignored joking that some guests are expected. But didn’t hold threw. Also heard from grandma that crow are also signs of our ancestors who are not happy. Not sure what it means. Can anyone help?
One morning, I was laying in bed when I herd the caw of a raven/crow. I have never seen one before but I felt like it was calling out to me for a warning of some sort. Can you guys tell me what it is
