Crow....A SPIRIT ANIMAL !!!

Crows are friends with deaths. Part of crow symbolism deals with memory-keeping. This is a big symbolic point here. Many cultures believe crows hold memories of ancient worlds, ancient ways of living, and beautiful secrets.

 

CROW SYMBOLISM IN CULTURAL MYTHS AND LEGENDS-

 

Greeks pegged the crow as a white bird initially. But the white crow gave Apollo (Greek god of prophecy, healing and much more) some bad news and Apollo turned it black as a mark of displeasure. From that day on, the crow kept her secrets to herself in an effort to protect her brood, and her knowledge.

 

The Latin term "Corvid" identifies the crow family. This word is derived, in part, from the word "cunning". This is so true with the crow. These birds have been known to outsmart other birds & many animals.

 

The Egyptians noticed their tendency to keep one mate and deemed this bird as a symbol of devotion and faithfulness.

 

Chinese lore places the crow on a throne of masculine rule. In ancient Asian legend, the crow was said to be the father of the Asian race. As a result, the crow is respected and given great devotion (at least it was back in the day) as the parent of humankind.

 

Native American legend positions the crow in an honorable place of carrying souls into the other side of life. In other words, for these cultures, the crow is an intermediary between life and death.

 

And here is the quick reference list of crow symbolism:
