The legend of the crow is another variation of the FIREBIRD theme.
Edgar Allen Poe's "THE RAVEN" carries the message and suggestion
of life beyond the grave. Although we are unsure of exactly what this
means, we find many cultures feel somehow the eternal spirit ascends
to it's final reward. Some give their angels wings while others give
their devils wings.
The CROW it is said, some times brings back a spirit from the
otherworld to right a great wrong. Flight is a requirement to reach
the final destination. And wings are part of the transition that will
get you there. The CROW and The RAVEN as BLACKBIRDS are a
part of BLACKPHOENIX.
