I encourage everyone to read Chatters last two Topics. She has touch on a side of Animal Spirituality that has very deep philosophical meanings between for humans and their health patterns.

I stared my own study of Animal Spirituality years ago when I needed to work toward emotional stability with my bipolar disorder. In fact, at the young age of 13, my grandfather taught me the meaning of the Crow. As we walked through his corn field on day, he called attention to a Crow the landed ahead of us. He said " when you see one Crow,you will always see two more come" I asked "why" He simply said, "As one crow explores something new, two others will watch closely to see what happens and then learn from it. Crows recognize possible danger and always post lookouts when feeding." So, my grandfather's comments were the beginnings of my interests with the Crow .

Animals have always intrigued me. In my studies of the afterlife,I came across so may concepts of God's mystery and magic of His Animal Kingdom. We can learn from God's guidance through the animals. The Crow seems to stand out as a true messenger to Mankind. Ted Andrew's book is a fabulous source : "Animal-Speak...The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small."

The Crow is the subject of much myth, legend and lore. Nearly every culture, continent and tribe has some lore associated with the Crow. They are said to be everything from the messengers of death to the sacred muse of the shaman. Crows are said to live their lives in a void and have no sense of time or space. They are also attributed with being able to see the past, the present and the future as one coherent image. They are the creators of magic and symbolize destiny and fate.

The Crow has the reputation of being a shape-shifter and it is said that they can change into the form of a human and back again, undetected. They are also known as a creature which guides souls to their resting place. They are said to be the keepers of the sacred law and hold the secrets to creation within them. They have been used for centuries as in ceremonial magic and healing rituals.
