Great Spirit has given us a very wonderful gift in the guise of the animal kingdom. Each animal has been charged with bringing us a specific type of knowledge, a specifc type of healing. Each time an animal enters our life, it has something to tell us. It is there to be our allie - sometimes for a short time, sometimes for a lifetime. Animal medicine is the energy that helps us improve our connection with the Universe and All Of Our Relations. Through listening to and walking with the animals, we learn to walk our own balanced path in this life. In short - we learn to accept and heal ourselves.
When an animal comes into our life, whether of it's own volition or by our calling it to us, we are able to use the strength of that animal's essence. If we act in a humble way, and are open to the messages anad lessons that come to us, we allow ourselves to heal. They are part of our pathway to power. Be grateful for their assistance and show gratitude and respect.
The Sacred Circle of Life speaks of the inter-connectedness of all things. Through our connections with All Of Our Relations, we experience the sacred, joyful spark that lies within each of us. As we allow that spark to shine forth, we illuminate our paths on this physical plane.
The message/medicine that each animal carries is individual to that animal. Crow medicine speaks of the sacred law - Crow is the keeper of the sacred law. Crow is the protector of all sacred texts.Crow medicine is special, as Crow can bend physical laws to shapeshift - to take on another physical form, to be in two places at once.
Crow sees that both the physical and spiritual worlds, as man sees them, are an illusion. There are an infinity of worlds, and an infinity of life forms, and all are reflections of Great Spirit. Crow sees the past, present and future simultaneously - and is an omen of change. You speak from a source of power when you are aligned with Crow medicine.
If Crow medicine is in your life, you have the great gift of communication, of transfering your experiences into words that can guide others. Crow walks with us as we acknowledge our shadow selves and come to terms with them. Crow is the messenger of the Ancestors, bridging the world between past and present. Crow acts as a Gatekeeper - helping to manifest our ancesters knowledge in our time.
Crow bring to us messages from the ancestor that act as a prelude for change in our lives. Crow takes us from the darkness of our shadow selves into the light of Great Spirit. Crow blesses us with great isight and knowing - to be taken within, and then to be shared. Crow allows us to fly freely, unhindered by doubts and fears.
