A spirit animal is a guide between two worlds, an animal that reflects our personality or that, through its symbolism, tries to send us a message. The crow is the seventh totem of the Native American wheel: it matches the beginning of autumn and the sign of Libra, on which it sheds new light.
In many cultures, it is a messenger between humans and gods. The Norse god Odin was advised by two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, thought and memory, who flew across the world to bring him its news. And legend has it that when Lyon was founded, a flock of crows landed on the outline of the future city: it took the name Lugdunum, “the hill of crows”.
👉 Crows are among the most intelligent birds: they can recognize a human face and remember it for years.
✦ ✦
The crow is a brilliant and adaptable mind: it solves problems, always finds a way out and is not frightened by the unknown. Courageous and bold, it flies by its own rules, in search of freedom and independence.
This adaptability has its downside. The crow knows how to get out of trouble by raiding another bird's nest: that is why it can also symbolize cunning, even deceit. Its great intelligence nevertheless remains a sign of wisdom, as long as it puts it at the service of others.
The mystery of life and creation, the message of a spirit.
The master of metamorphosis: every ordeal can become a rebirth.
Not an end but a transition: a page being turned.
Courage and adaptability, with their downside, cunning.

In the shamanic tradition, the crow is the one who uses magic. It invites you to open your mind to the wonders of the universe, to explore your shadow side and to come back with a better understanding of yourself. If you often come across crows, you may be in a period of change and personal growth.
As a scavenger, it is traditionally associated with death, but also with the survival instinct: it is the bird that death does not frighten. It teaches you to see the end of a cycle not as an end, but as a transition to a new chapter.
A crow in a dream points to an element of truth, or to the message of a spirit trying to reach you. Listen to what you feel when you wake up: that is often where the answer lies.
Several crows together herald an important transformation: a page is turning, and a new chapter is opening.
✦ ✦
The crow belongs to the Butterfly clan, the clan of Air, with the deer and the otter.
