Crows

What do crows symbolize?

Do you keep seeing crows? Do you wonder what they mean? Generally, the crow is often seen as being a procreative omen and can symbolize a totality of the life force and the cycles of life. Crows stand for strong power and intelligence. 

The crow is a spiritual carrier from our world to spirit. The crow is a powerful bird. In ancient American Indian culture, it was common to believe that the crow has the “eye of the raven.” This is considered to be the door of the inner spiritual world. This means the Crow is the messenger between the invisible world and our material plane. Crows can see the past, present, and future and if a crow suddenly dies the other crows flock around to investigate the death, so they don’t fall victim to the same fate.

Seeing one crow alone indicates wisdom. The crow has been connected to negative vibes in folklore and is associated with the following:

  • Transformation in one situation

According to the Druids to see three crows can indicate a new change in life. There is a story called the three ravens folklore and this is a story where the crows attack another crow. This is connected to how they eat the flesh in the battlefields. So what does this mean? Three crows in a row can suggest that someone is going to contact you soon or attack you according to legend.

What is the meaning of seeing a crow looking at you?

Birds in my view, are messengers of God and in Greek mythology bird omens were popular. One of the Greek words for bird is “ononos” which is associated with omens that are not only from birds they are also prophetic and divinationary in nature. 

The bird-diviner was known as a “oionopolos” and was employed as a prophet in Greece. Bird prophesy in these times were known as manta in Homer and various bird omens were found in the historical narratives. In the Fayoum, Egypt a papyrus book roll that was used for mummy cartonnage, a roll was found with the cases. This contained 112 epigrams and within this was bird divination. 

The Greek literature includes divinatory signs but through the Egyptian book roll we can fully understand the omens of birds. Bird movements were also studied particularly those of the raven and crow and this was revived from the posture, voice, and activity of these two birds. Crows hold so much symbolism.

After my experience with orange juice, I first noticed the power of crows when I visited San Fransisco and went on a boat trip to the notorious prison Alcatraz. At this point, I can remember seeing crows circling the structures.  I recall seeing the eerie atmosphere and thought that it was interesting that these nesting species would find peace in this seabird haven. I later saw more crows in a prison in England, circling above (around twenty years ago) so I decided to do a little investigation. What do crows mean? Do they mean death and pain? I’m going to answer this question now.


 

What does it mean to see a Raven?

Ravens were symbols of the great goddess in Greek mythology but they are considered dark and associated with death due to the fact that they eat decaying things, generally though I believe the Ravens are totally misunderstood. Things have to die in order to move forward. In Lyon (the city in France) the Raven played a founding role in the city whereby ravens are said to have fallen from heaven. The Raven is on the coin of Lyon and is normally recognized as good luck omen and also change because of its black color, the Raven is associated with the idea of new beginnings which is expressed as symbols of the material night darkness and also the fertilization of earth it is also connected with the atmosphere as symbolism for being creative powerful and denotes spiritual strength because of the way the Raven flies it is also considered a spiritual messenger.

What Does it Mean to Keep Seeing Crows in the Garden?

If you keep seeing crows in the garden then this can be a symbol that there is going to be a rebirth time of change.  The change should never be feared and the crow is generally, therefore, you to show that there are a new way and a new possibility in life.

What does it mean to see a crow and how mythology can answer this

Crows were considered a symbol of wisdom by the ancient Greeks. It was believed that the crow was a messenger from the gods. Crows are even portrayed as guides to the underworld in some stories.
 
Crows were also considered a symbol of death by the ancient Greeks. Crows are often associated with Hades, the underworld's god. Often, crows are seen as bad omens.
 
In Greek mythology, Hades was the god of the underworld. A dark and fearsome god, he ruled over the dead. The ruler of Hades was often viewed as cruel and heartless. Hades once attempted to capture a crow, according to a legend. Hades wanted to punish the crow for stealing food from the underworld. In order to catch the crow, he constructed a bronze trap. The crow was too clever and quick for Hades. The bird avoided the trap and flew away. Hades was so angry that he decided to capture the next creature that entered his realm. That creature happened to be a human being. The human was taken back to the underworld and made a slave of by Hades. It is important to be careful when dealing with powerful beings, as the story of Hades and the crow teaches us. In order to avoid being caught in people’s traps, we should also be quick and clever. In some cultures, crows are seen as malicious creatures. In others, they are seen as helpful guides. It all depends on how you look at seeing them

The true meaning of seeing a crow

I would like to focus on the rainbow crow story and why this is important. In Native American legend, the Rainbow Crow brings light and life to the world. In the world, darkness and cold once dominated and there was no light, there was also suffering and death among most animals. The Great Spirit of Native America sent the Rainbow Crow to help them one day. The Rainbow Crow flew around the world, collecting fire from the sun and water from the rain. He then gave these gifts to the animals. Their thirst was quenched by the water and their bodies were warmed by the fire. There was such gratitude among the animals that they sang a song of thanksgiving.
 
The Rainbow Crow was so moved by the animals' gratitude that he began to cry. His tears turned into drops of color that fell to the ground. These drops of color became the first rainbow.  The Rainbow Crow is a symbol of hope and new beginnings. He reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always light and life, I love this story and feel that is the message of the crow.

Crows Flying In Your Path Meaning

To see a crow sitting looking at you, or flying near you to the point where they get your attention can mean opportunities will be yours. I also read a story on youtube about a man who became friendly with a crow. Each morning it was waiting for him. This is no surprise due to the fact that crows have the mental age of a small child. 

Perhaps you are questioning things at the moment if you saw a crow staring at you. If you are wondering what it means this is my breakdown:

  • It could be a sign that it’s a fantastic time for you to review where you are in life, often seeing crows or a group of crows is positive. Take note of the message.
  • If a crow comes to you on more than one occasion the crow can be considered your spirit totem and power animal. If this is the case the crow is there in order to help you with your own self-worth and confidence.

What Does Seeing a Dead Crow Mean?

To see a dead crow is a horrible experience and can be very upsetting.  Usually, in folklore, a dead bird (whatever the species) denotes a change in death a new beginning but don’t panic because it is a spiritual journey.  

The crow itself has so much significance in ancient red Indian culture it is supposed to be the creator of the “invisible world” in Christian literature crow represents solitude being alone in Indian literature however the crow can also mean the “undifferentiated” the link between females and males and love. In Christian literature, however, the crow can also mean the undifferentiated which is the link between females and males. 

To look at the Crow we can see darkness and the maternal darkness within can represent the fertilizing earth. There is also an ancient association that a crow represents somebody’s life. The crow is connected to understanding any dangers that are ahead of us. Perhaps you are questioning things at the moment. It could be a sign that it’s a fantastic time for you to review where you are in life. 

Often if we keep seeing crows or there is a crow that comes to you on more than one occasion the crow can be considered your spirit totem and power animal. The Crow is more than a negative symbolism lots of lightworkers often believe the crows are masters of the two worlds - this is the spiritual world and the material world. Crows are energetic and they can connect two people together. I don’t know whether you’ve watched the program Game of Thrones but it did feature a raven as a key character of the series, known as the three-eyed-raven. 

This Raven was able to see the future it howled a certain level of cultural symbolism as ravens are primarily means of long-distance communication to the spirit world and I found this quite interesting when I watched the series - as the writers used the “vision of the future” symbolism within the program. The reason why I mention this is because ravens themselves are generally linked to seeing the future. They have dark wings and dark words! To see ravens can suggest a significant transformation change or transition that is needed in life. Perhaps you need to transform yourself to clear away the old and bring new possibilities. 

What's the Difference Between a Raven and a Crow?

They are similar to a raven but a raven is much larger than a crow. They are viewed identically and their symbolism does not differentiate between them so it means the same. There are of course some differences between the two birds but generally, in symbolism, they both mean the same thing. 

Crows are black birds that have a reputation for being intelligent and resourceful. Magic and mystical powers are also associated with them. Crows are considered bad omens in many cultures. In some cultures, however, they are considered lucky symbols.
 
A crow is a very versatile bird. In certain situations, it can be a good or a bad thing. Symbolically, crows are associated with death in some cultures. Others view them as symbols of regeneration and life. Crows are very adaptable birds. Many different environments can be home to this animal, and it eats nearly anything. The crow is a symbol of adaptability and resourcefulness because of this.
 
It is a very social bird, the crow. Known for its loud cawing, it often forms large flocks. As a result, the crow symbolizes communication and community. There is no doubt that the crow is an intelligent bird. Known for its ability to solve complex problems and use tools. Crows are therefore considered intelligent and clever symbols. It is always exploring its surroundings and trying to learn new things. This makes the crow a symbol of curiosity and inquisitiveness.

Crows and ravens were symbols of the Great goddess but folklore has got a bad reputation, due to the fact they eat dead and decaying things. Generally though, are often very misunderstood. If you have seen a crow in your garden or the crow becomes friendly to you then they can symbolize bad luck and the fact that you need to think about rebirth. In some folklore, the crow indicates mystery, magic, and sometimes death. But more importantly, the crow is pure magic and when you see one flying across your path it can mean that you will succeed in life. 

What do Crows Symbolize?

In Egyptian literature, the crow can also mean the un-differentiated, link between females and males. Of course, if we look at the coat of the crow we can see the primordial darkness, the maternal darkness within which can represent the fertilizing earth. There is an ancient associate in Native North America that the crow represents the mother Angwshahai who appeared in the rejuvenation of crops in the spring. In history, the crow has been connected to negative spiritual meanings. Such as destiny, fear, pain, alchemy, death, and transformation. 

The bird is symbolic of the soul and is commonly found in folklore all around the world. In Egyptian symbolism within their hieroglyphs, the soul flies away from the body after death. It can mean that you have managed to fly away from a problem or issue in life symbolically. Hence, why the bird flew away unharmed.  

Crows are also connected to the manipulation of people. Often you can find them circling around certain buildings. There is a reminder that the crow and its magical powers are connected to the traditions of spirit animals. Crows themselves have large brains out of all the bird species which is why in old folklore they are associated with having wisdom.

The darkness of Crows And Meaning

The color of birds is a factor in determining the symbolism. In alchemy, birds sand for forces in the process of activation. There is a precise sense of the location of the crow in soaring skywards it expressed sublimation and expresses precipitation and condensation. 

In ancient Greek mythology, birds were used to predict events. Bird divination was known as “anathematika” and the individual birds or other omens. For divination, bird omens are normally signs and inform us of any possibilities in life. 

Crows In Dreams

Crows are very powerful and can often appear in our dreams. Thus, if you dream of a crow or raven then this can suggest there is going to be hidden issues in your subconscious mind. This will surface in the future it is also a sign that you can move forward.

When a crow shows up repetitively then I would say it’s very important that you pay attention to this animal totem we are all destined to have these animal guys as I’ve already mentioned the crow is associated with the great mystery of life so if you keep seeing crows all around you need to start to pay attention to the spiritual message they are carrying. On a negative note, crows are usually associated with difficult dark times. However, it is very important you can translate the symbolism in a message into something positive. 

If you do wonder what the crane means generally the crow is often seen as being procreative and can symbolize the totality of life in cycles. Seeing flying crows in a line in the sky generally stands for power and intelligence.

Crows In Alchemy Meaning

The color of birds is a factor in determining the symbolism. In alchemy, birds sand for forces in the process of activation. There is a precise sense of the location of the crow in soaring skywards it expressed sublimation and expresses precipitation and condensation. 

I believe the birds are messengers of God and in Greek mythology, bird omens were super popular in fact it was so popular that they relied on birds in order to give them signs for the future. Especially in regards to movements that were studied particularly those of the raven. Magpies are also part of the crow family and they hold a huge array of symbolism they are similar to a Raven.

The Advice of these Birds

I will say that any change should be welcomed as a positive new force in your life and the crow or raven is a symbol that you will need to clear away the factors of difficulties in life. Interestingly, the Tower of London in England has been home to Ravens since the 1800s, in fact, ravens are so prevalent in the Tower of London that since 1987 they have undertaken a breeding program for the Ravens it’s interesting that the Tower of London has a huge amount of spiritual symbolism of change and tapping into the underworld. I thought it was very interesting when I went to visit the Tower of London I could see the ravens and crows circling the tower.  

Crow Christianity Symbolism

Symbolically, crows are associated with Christianity. A crow is generally regarded as a negative symbol in the Bible. Genesis 15:11, for instance, says Abraham's descendants will be slaves and persecuted in a foreign land for 400 years. Their enemies will leave so many corpses in the land that even the crows will get fat by eating them all. In other words, there will be so many dead bodies around that the crows will be gorged with their flesh. The enemy's victory over Abraham's descendants is seen as a negative thing.
 
In Luke 12:24, Jesus tells his disciples that they should not worry about what they will eat or drink because "life is more than food, and the body more than clothes." He goes on to say that "Consider the ravens: they do not sow or reap; they do not have a storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them." In this passage, Jesus is saying that we need not worry about our material needs because God will provide for us no matter what. Even crows, which aren't the most popular birds, are taken care of by God, he says. As a result, we can be sure that God will also take care of us.
 
Crows can also be viewed positively in some cases. Often, the crow is viewed as a symbol of resurrection. Crows eat dead animals' flesh since they are carrion birds. Therefore, Jesus compares himself to a crow in Luke 24:5 when he says he's risen from the dead. In the same way that crows eat the flesh of dead animals and are resurrected each time they do so, Jesus has been raised from the dead and will live forever.
 
As a Christian symbol, the crow has many interpretations. However, it is clear that crows are not always regarded as positive symbols. Death and destruction are sometimes seen as negative symbols. However, it can also be seen as a symbol of rebirth and life in other cases.

Transformation and Burning Desires

The crow appearing before you and looking in your eye - indicates that we need to transform and think about our burning desires. So for example, the fact you desire various things in life as we all have needs and wants. The focus of the crow itself is a representation of our basic psychological needs. I do feel that transformation is an important part of our life. It is a driving force that helps us achieve our goals. 

The feeling or emotion and energy is something we all need this moves us toward what we really want. Even though things may seem adverse we all need inner transformation. We must remain strong and powerful and keep super motivated. There are many stories about successful people who have had burning desires to accomplish great things after seeing a crow fly over their path or look at them intensely. 

The crowd is a representation that something great could happen. In my experience, the crow is a symbol of one’s burning desire to achieve a goal and say goodbye to the past. Building a strong and burning desire is important when you want to transform your life. The main reason for building and maintaining is to have a better life. 

The crow tells us to be strong, and transform life into something great.

There are many exercises that you can do in order to think about this transformation. For example, try to go over all the areas where you feel you need to transform your life.  Write these down and then identify the three strongest reasons that motivate you the most.  promise yourself you will transform your life and have a better one.  Is there something that is stopping you?  I can remember when I saw the crow I realized that my eating habits were stopping me from progressing, I wanted to be healthier and slimmer but I wasn’t going to do that without any effort.  In my case the transformation when I saw the crow perched on my chair outside trying to drink my orange juice was a wake-up call that I had to think about how to have a wonderful life - to become fitter.  The only way that I was going to do so and succeed was to improve and transform myself.

Crow Can Symbolize: Leadership

Seeing a Crow animal totem could be motivating you to become a leader. What would motivate you to become a leader? I ask this question explicitly in a more formal sense because I am referring to your own motives. The crow could appear before you because you need to think about your power, position, and status. Are you happy with these things in your life? 

Crows act in a variety of different ways, in my research, there are around four basic relationships between crows and people. Crows influence many different human cultures throughout the world.

There are many interactions between people and crows on many different continents throughout the world The American crow is known as (Corvus brachyrhyncuphos) they hold a variety of different social strategies and physical attributes. There is a lot of examples of its intelligence. Crows and people often share similar traits and social strategies. When crows fly we normally watch and follow their flight path. When they call up to the sky - they can be somewhat noisy. The one thing we do know about crows is that they are very passionate,  flexible, and clever. Crows themselves have for thousands of years held cultural power.

Crows in Japanese mythology

In Japanese mythology, the Crow is of good omen. The crow was supposed to have been sent by Yatagarasu who was a heavenly deity, to guide the emperor Jammu Tenno on his way to Yamato. The Japanese recognize two types of crows.
the first crow was bad-tempered and the second crow provided a good omen. There was another account whereby the crow flew to a monster in the story of Pashkuru Kamui and pecked his tongue furiously. there is another Japanese story whereby the crow guided Ainu to a stranded whale, And as a result, in Japanese mythology, the crow is honored as a friend to mankind.

Crows in Greek Mythology

Crows and ravens were symbols of the great goddess in Greek mythology but they are considered dark due to the black coat and the fact that they eat decaying things. Generally, though I believe the crows are totally misunderstood and they simply mean change.

Crows have been highly pointed out in ancient mythology and lore as a bird with an eager and fervent sight and is appeared to be a solar symbol. Celts used to revere crow as being sacred. They represented the bird as a symbol of purity.

They thought that crows escort the sun each morning during its nocturnal pathway. Greeks considered the crow as a blabby creature having pessimistic traits of egoism and breaking the rules time and again. It is believed that the crow was prohibited from drinking water by a deity because of whom it is condemned to thirst.

Crows in German Mythology

Crows were featured and often connected to ravens in ancient Germany. Of course, ravens and crows are different, they are associated with warfare and battles. According to legend, the raven was often used by the Vikings as a symbol of strength. The raven is also featured on the coat of arms of Vikings. 

Biblical Mythology of Crows

The Bible has many different passages of Scripture regarding crows or ravens. For example, Noah sent a dove and a raven in order to find out if the flood had subsided. The crow did not return because it is self-sufficient but the dove came back for food. Ravens were also been mentioned in the Scripture Job 38:41 and this consisted of feeding the ravens. The book of Luke 12:24, also has a passage whereby God feeds the ravens and how important these birds really are. The quote in this Scripture is as follows "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!” An interesting point in the Bible is that a crow has a mental age of a two-year-old, by now you will realize crows are highly intelligent birds and they also have a great memory.

In the Old Testament, the Bible further builds upon Noah's Ark, By saying that the crow symbolizes God's pathways of our own lives. Interestingly, the Bible also provides an overview in Leviticus 11:13 creature that the crow is not a clean bird, During this time anything that did not provide cleanliness was not looked upon in a positive light.

Crows and Animal Totems

Having a crow as a power animal is somewhat incredibly powerful and fascinating. A crow has the ability to accede to a person to see his existence in multi-dimensions and proportions. It enables a person to envision the different elements in his life and experience the multiple aspects of his existence.

It endorses one to believe in his instincts and integrity and be pleased and grateful about all the phases of life. It supports the idea of one speaking his own truth and following his instincts rather than just following the crowd in making the decisions of life. Crows have incredible powers of adaptation. Because of its great instinct of adaptation, it is seen to be living in almost every corner of the world surviving in any environment. They are believed to be ubiquitous, being able to live in any situation and circumstance.

Crows are regarded as one of the most intelligent animals on the planet. It is often said that crows have great qualities of remembrance and memorization, being able to recognize one individual human being from another by facial features. Crows are also very cautious and learn very quickly about their safety and protection. When one crow gets the feeling of suspicion and danger, it gives various kinds of calls to its brethren as a warning and caution. It has the ability to foresee danger and predict potential threats, therefore it is always very watchful and alert when feeding.

Crow, being the messenger of vision and magic around every person, is itself associated with the magical world being able to observe the supernatural and unforeseen forces. Humans have always been involved in unwanted disputes and conflicts with each other due to their different cultures, religions, and beliefs. These conflicts have proved to be never-ending, creating negativities all around the globe.

For creating an environment of serenity, peace, and tranquility throughout the world, we all need to be familiar with the significance of love, care, and harmony and being able to surpass the cultural and religious limitations imposed unreasonably. Everyone should know that hurting his own kind would eventually result in hurting himself. Crow is the bird that represents this ability of transcendence.

Crows appear to be extremely creative, being an omen of change. It brings the light and the dark together, representing itself as having enormous spirits and strength. If a crow comes into your life, you need to bring the changes, look forward and act consequently!

My Crow Story

One day I was having a cup of orange outside in my yard, I popped inside, and when I returned I noticed the cup spilled over. There was no real explanation of why. Then the next day I went inside my house and again my cup of orange was spilled over. I could not work out what was going on. 

This happened for the next five consecutive days. On the sixth day, I decided to keep watch and to my amazement, I could see a crow coming down and spilling my drink. It was amazing. Then, the crow just perched on the seat and looked at me through the glass of my conservatory. The crow could not actually drink my orange juice. I figured that he was thirsty so I got a small bowl and filled it with water.

Sure enough the next day the Crow came again. He saw the bowl of water and drunk out of the container to his heart's content. It was amazing. He then perched right by me for about five minutes before flying away. This carries on to this very day. I made a friend in that crow! 

What amazes me is the communication that I have with this crow. If I am not there I leave the water for him and I do see him use it. The crow has such gratitude and this made me think about the crow and the symbols within, which made me research this article.

There are 45 species of crow altogether - including corbies, rooks, nutcrackers, bushes, magpies, ravens, jackdaws, and the pica pica. They are the smartest bird in the world and have the cognitive skills of a seven-year-old child! The technical word for a crow is “corvus”  which includes the meat-eating “ravens” and omnivorous crows, rooks, and jackdaws. As life goes on, from an evolutionary sense crows will become more popular and be part of many important interactions. They live for about 7-14 years and are super advanced, additionally, they have tons of wisdom. When a crow dies suspiciously, the other crows actually use measures to “investigate” the death so they do not have the same thing happen to them. This demonstrates how amazing and versatile and intelligent they really are.
