 The
Way of the Crow -- Some Quotes From
the eBook!
"One crow sorrow, two crows
joy,
three crows a letter, four crows a
boy,
five crows silver, six crows
gold,
seven crow a story yet to be
told."
". . . crows and other corvids
are classified as songbirds! Why, you might ask, would a crow
ever be classified as a songbird? The answer is straight
forward. The crow has a brilliant bird brain and highly
developed vocal muscles, giving it the ability and distinction
of a songbird."
"I have seen crows come to the
rescue and defense of a comrade, who was having a flying
confrontation with a hawk. The latter, outnumbered . . .
quickly sought the refuge and protection of a
maple tree nearby."
"What really 'fluffed' his
feathers or annoyed him the most was when I came home at night
and suddenly flicked on the lights in my cabin. The feathers
on the back of his neck stook on end, while he gave me a
severe verbal blasting with a series of low-pitched sounds,
which I imagine were the equivalent of every
'four-letter' word in the English language."
Even as a child, I realized
there were lessons to be learned from crows and ravens. When I
saw a crow flying, I would sometimes think, 'I wonder how they
see the world? They are so intelligent, surely they see it in
an interesting way.' I realized early on that there were many
things people could learn from two-winged beings, if we were
patient enough to watch, listen, and admit that another
species could teach us important life lessons."

Crow Medicine
Exercise
Take a
walk with the intent that you will learn something from
a crow.
Walk,
observe, and you may be rewarded with the gift of a crow
sitting on a tree or performing some other activity. If
this happens, try to be seated and watch the crow
carefully.
As you
observe the crow, try to explain its behaviour in human
terms. If, for example, it remains sitting on a tree
branch, seemingly observing the environment, ask
yourself how that translates in human terms? Does it
show "patience," for instance, or some other
quality?
Try to
take what the crow is doing and determine how you can
use the same quality, same type of behaviour, to
benefit your life.
It's
amazing how we can learn and benefit from this
simple exercise.
