i've been using the name dgcrow here as i have a deep fondness for these birds. they've done quite well for themselves considering all the disruption on the planet. (the dg refers to the initials of my first and surnames, which i'm presently considering dropping, from my forum name, that is

)

about 16 years ago i was with a friend walking through the woods. we both felt a powerful menacing energy.

during this time in our lives we were both reading carlos castaneda's books and so were open to non-ordinary experiences. anyway, we noticed a crow flying around the treetops, cawing loudly at us. after a brief discussion we agreed we were in the vicintiy of her nest and she was trying to protect her young, although we didn't have any malice in mind towards them.

this crow's actions led us, after a few minutes of discussion, to run away from the area, or should i say haul er well you know what i'm saying. after only a few seconds of running i felt a pointed, piercing energy directed at the back of my neck. instantly i stopped and bent at waist level just as the crow flew by where my head had been. my friend was ahead to the right and not in the crow's flight path, though he did see it fly by.

we were freaked out by this, but not angry at the crow at all. we contiued our adventure through the woods and had some other strange things occur which are not directly related to the crow. all said, it was a memorable night.

ever since then i've had a deep respect for crows and find i see them frequently. this is not surprising given their abundance and wide range of habitation. however, i notice them during and/or right after having "deep" thoughts or while thinking about challenges in my life.

some say crows are harbingers of change and keepers of the sacred law and that they can "pass between worlds". there is also negative (fearful) information from mythology about crows. personally i find the following website useful when considering animal totems:
