I use to have crows around me, too. It seems to have disappeared now. I miss it. I always felt like they were trying to communicate something, but I never knew what. Crows are very intellegent animals, by the way. Could someone with Animal Speak look up crows for us? I got my mom a copy a few years ago, but she is in Wisconsin.

I like it.
At least naysayers are being very witty and smart naysayers! I like it too.

Have you read any Terry Prachet books (the Disc World series)? The streetsweeper in those books is this crazy monk who is brilliant and can control time. He chose to be a streetsweeper because no one ever notices a "sweeper" and they are allowed everywhere. Sorry about the aside, just thought it was funny...

What did you want to know about Crows specifically?
One thing is that Crows have been known to predict the weather.
Working with Crow medicine will help you see how the winds are going to blow into your life and how to adjust your life flights.
They are symbols of magic, creation and spiritual strength. They want us to look for opportunities to go with the magic of life and telling us about the creation and magic that is alive within our world and available to us all the time.

Thank you for the links!

I took the second-linked test first. I came out at 100% as a dragon, with dog, crow, and salmon all at 83%.

The second test had me at 52% wolf and 52% bear. I read the analysis of those two, and I do find parts of me like them. I wish the first test I took gave more analysis.

Hmmm for some reason I've always associated with the rabbit...lol they say with fetishes and stuff they're supposed to symbolize having many offspring (I have no kids yet) but it seems important events and such in my life I have always seen a rabbit closeby (and according to my mom right before she gave birth baby rabbits followed her around). I also feel like I'm closely tied to the mourning dove, it's call seems to be a message directed towards me, I've seen them peering down at me, kind of giving me reassurance I'm making a good choice in something. It is said that birds are messengers you just need to be able to read the signs to interpret what they're saying

Unicorns !!!! One of my favorites. I have a stuffed lavendar one. Smells like cotton candy.
Nothing against scorpions but I've been stung a couple of times. Yikes, it hurts. I've been wondering ever since what the scorpion medicine was trying to tell me. It's not in the book I have.
Don't know why because I do like them, but not at 2am in the morning when I'm sleeping.

Song~thanks for this interesting thread. I appreciate your explanation about crows. I'll ponder on the whole crow enigma for a while.

Thanks too, to all the posters who offered book titles. I'll be sure to have some of those books on hand when I cocoon this winter!

I'd never given animal totems much thought before, now I can see how deeply we are all affected by animals, not just native cultures.

In English culture we are...

~quiet as a mouse

~hungry as a bear

~gentle as a lamb

~eat like a horse

~lower than a snake's belly

and on and on.

Isn't that funny how we come up with all these sayings related to animals?

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed taking the test/quiz. The results were interesting. I came out as a Wolf, Bear, Eagle and Deer. The Bear one says I like to eat. Opps someone caught me eating that pastry!

Mine is bear also and I love to eat. I just tell myself I need to watch how I eat, which reminds me, I love to eat with my paws and tear into it.
I've heard people say that they 'forget to eat' sometimes. That's so funny to me. Are they crazy?
