Dead Crow Spiritual Meaning

Seeing a dead crow is a bit crazy, if you see a dead crow in your garden this can actually be a symbol. Some of you may have dreamed of a dead crow. Well I am going to cover this all in this article. This whole topic, reminds me that I have a dead crow in my planting pot by my conservatory and I have never got around to getting rid of it. That tells you something, in that if you watch my instagram I do allot of readings in my conservatory. All in all I think a dead crow can mean the following:

• It is a super positive sign, it means things are going to be okay
• Crows are connected to spirit and seeing a dead crow can mean transformation (like the death tarot card)
• Good positive vibes are coming for you
• Money and wealth could be yours if you take the right chances

What does it mean to see a dead crow?

Well…apart from the above I want to focus on where you saw the dead crow. Perhaps it was on your doorstep and you nearly stepped onto it prior to your coffee got going. Perhaps it had been lying in the road and something made you to slow down and examine it rather than merely passing it by. It could've appeared by accident in your garden and you're obsessed with interpreting the significance as well as reasons for its occurrence in your life at this precise moment. You are not being dramatic. I discovered this about the universe and its channels of interaction for us to comprehend in my many years writing about superstitions and folklore.

What is the spiritual meaning of seeing a dead crow?

I want to let you know that you can not make anything out of nothing. Life doesn't send texts. It cannot write letters. It doesn't sit down and explain things in easy English as you drink a cup of tea. The mind communicates through symbols and signs as well as encounters which are lodged in your head and won't release till you consider the message communicated by spirt in this situation.

A dead crow is a representative of this communication type. Your intuition is already functioning because you're right here, interpreting this and attempting to grasp its significance. Even if your rational mind keeps nitpicking you, a part of you knows this matters. I clearly recall the very first time I stumbled upon a dead cROW and took time to contemplate its implications instead of merely feeling vaguely disturbed as well as continuing with my day. I was going through a major period at that moment, though I had not completely confessed it to myself at that time. the crow appeared as I was attempting to convince. myself that everything was okay, there was no adjustments needed and I can continue on as I was going indefinitely. The universe disagreed. But ultimately I discovered they had been correct: Crows have been messengers among worlds since humankind has been telling stories. This was known by every ancient culture. The Celts thought that crows moved souls among the living and the dead. In Norse mythology Odin was given 2 ravens that travelled the globe acquiring information and whispering secrets to him. Crows were viewed by Native American traditions as guardians of sacred law, animals which traveled between worlds and returned knowledge to people who desired to get it.These birds were never simply birds.

What is the message of seeing a dead crow?

Well…the dead crow is saying stop. Stop resuscitating what wants to be buried, please stop putting your energy into something that stopped being “for you” long ago. And spiritually, my view is to 100% make sure you STOP pretending you don't know what I mean because you do. But you know exactly what is happening in your life right now. You need to FIX things when you see this. And, I normally mean here work harder.

I did that for years, I worked really hard on this website, hours and hours of my time, making sure that I write rather than just use some AI machine, as AI can’t predict what spirit is giving you. I want to say try to think about stopping things that should have died because you are scared of the empty stuff that follows. I did this so much. I let things like of map out without actually finishing them. Relationships I'd outgrown is a biggy. The versions of me that I kept performing because I never knew who I was without them. So I kept getting signs - dead birds, dying plants - things breaking and falling around me - and I just ignored them because facing the truth was too much.

But what nobody tells you about endings. That thing that you fear losing? You probably already lost it. The dead crow isn't saying death is coming. So it's confirming a death that already happened. You are the last one to know because you've been refusing to look directly at it.

And maybe that sounds harsh. Maybe you want me to tell you that dead crow is a coincidence - a bird that died where birds die - something to walk over and forget about by lunchtime. But you would not still be reading if you believed that. Some part of you knows better. Something in you has been waiting for permission to say what is true for a while now.

Crows in my view, also means intelligence and adaptability. Some of the smartest birds in the world. They use tools. They recognise human faces. It makes them resentful but kind - they remember kindness. They solve problems most other creatures could not. When a crow dies all that intelligence and cunning goes with it.

Also, ask yourself: what wisdom are you letting die in your own life? What knowledge were you ignoring? What instincts have you been putting down because they're uncomfortable or they'd make you do things you're not ready to do? That dead crow might be looking at something in your own brain that you've abandoned. Gut feelings you no longer believe. The knowing within of yourself you have betrayed just to fit in or avoid conflict. Maybe you trusted yourself and then you stopped. Maybe you delegated your power to someone else and let them make your decisions. Maybe you got so good at ignoring your own wisdom you forgot you had any.

That dead crow is asking you to mourn that loss, actually mourn it. Not just brush past it or intellectualise it or make it a lesson you can stuff up and put away. But actually grieve over what you've allowed to die in you. Because... because... one more thing about crows. One of the few animals that holds funerals. When one crow dies, other crows circle around the body like right.

What has been lost in your life?

I am going to ask this straight up now. What has been lost? I often find that these omens of crows dying appear when a relationship goes south. That the relationship is not very good anymore.  Crows in many folklore books that I have read,  sit there silently pondering what is lost - that something important has ended. We call it a crow funeral and scientists have studied it to see why birds do this when most other animals just look around the corner. I think humans understand something in that behaviour because we need the same thing. 

We need that pause between what was and what is next. We need ritual when ritual seems pointless because our souls need to acknowledge loss before we can move on. No - you do not actually stand over the bird and cry - just symbolically.  What ever happened to you - whatever was dying while you met ignorance - whatever gave up the ghost and left you with proof it was gone - you have to acknowledge it - most of us skip this part. Endings are uncomfortable so we rush past them. We look for the next thing - the replacement - the thing that keeps us from feeling what we lost. We tell ourselves to be positive. We tell ourselves that pondering endings is morbid and useless. So we tell ourselves move on fast because that's what strong people do.

That's what scared people do. And there is a difference: Strong people grieve. Strong people look over the dead thing and say this was important to me and it's gone and I can feel that loss before I know what happens next. Strong people do not rush through mourning to prove they're okay. They believe they will be okay eventually but they don't force it before it is. It doesn't work. Anything that you refuse to mourn properly follows you forever. It'll show up in your dreams. It will wreck your next relationship or your next project or your next attempt at happiness. It will be in the corner of every room you go into so you can look at it - the dead crow knows this.

In a dream what does a dead crow mean?

When a dead crow suddenly pops up (maybe on the floor or in your house)  in your dream means very simply, it is the the end of your old thinking. Crows mean intelligence and higher perspective, remember. They see things from above. They pick up patterns that the ground dwelling creatures miss entirely. When you see a crow die in your dream maybe that old perspective is letting go of you. Ways of seeing the world that once served you now hold you back. Maybe you thought you were not worthy of love and now that belief is dying too. Or maybe you were taught you had to work; suffer to get good things and now that mindset is dying. Maybe you were small and incompetent and now that version of you is dying so a stronger version can come along.

Maybe it's a sad dream or something disturbing but the message is not negative. We sometimes mourn old selves that had to go. Sometimes letting go of limiting beliefs is loss even though it's liberation in itself. But here's where you have to pay attention: Was there anything happening around that dead crow in your dream? Where did you get it? How did it make you feel when you saw it? You were scared or relieved / grieved / curious? Did you touch it or stayed away? Did others see it too or were you alone?

All these details matter because your subconscious gave every choice it made in making that dream meaning. In your childhood home if you found the dead crow it may be related to old family patterns or beliefs that came from your parents. If you got it at work, something is probably changing in your professional identity or ambition. If you found it someplace you never have before, the change might take you somewhere totally new and unexpected.

But if you slept peacefully and saw the dead crow in your dream then maybe you are already ok with the ending some way even if your conscious mind hasn't caught up yet. But your soul knows this death is right even if your ego fights it. If you felt terrified or devastated you might be resisting change whether you want it or not. The fear is not of the crow but of what the crow is. What are you scared of losing? But what ending is painful to you? That's where the work really happens.

I also think for some of you, you might have felt nothing - blankness or numbness - and are so detached from your own transformation that you can not even feel it. Also worth looking at is that one. How did you shut down inside yourself? But what have you stopped allowing yourself to feel because feeling it would be too overwhelming?

I want you to also think about whether the crow in your dream was just dead or had been dead for some time now. It was a crow that just died - that means an ending recently - or one right now. The transformation is active/instant. But a crow that has been dead for a while - decomposing, returning to earth - suggests something else - an ending you are just processing.

Sometimes we don't grieve things until long after they're gone. We are too busy living to feel the loss. We dream about standing over the body months or years later and mourning what we could not mourn then. Your dream may be giving you that delayed opportunity. Or it could be saying "remember that thing that ended?" You never really dealt with it. So that is my thoughts on what this dream could mean for you.
