Spiritual Meaning and Significance of Seeing a Crow - What Does The Crow Symbolize?

Crows are a complex and beautiful Spirit Messenger. If Spirit has blessed you with the presence of Crows in your daily life you are indeed being blessed. I invite you to read on and explore what Spirit may be telling you through gracing you with these dark hued creatures of Wisdom.

Everyone has heard about crows and their perceived reputation as symbols of darkness, a bad omen or even as a harbinger of death. In this look at Crows you’ll learn that the Crow actually is a light bearer. A bringer of messages about community, family and clarity of Divine Purpose.

While you may be experiencing difficulty in life when you encounter a Crow, take heart. Crow is here to tell you that you are safe and watched over by Spirit. Just as Spirit sees all, so does the Crow. A great ally to have if you’re feeling persecuted, grieving, experiencing setbacks or feeling attacked energetically. Crows have excellent eyesight and can see a great distance. They can see from a much higher perspective than other common birds. Therefore the common garden birds rely on the Crow to alert them of danger from predators. The other birds look to the Crow as the authority on the safety of the land. If Crow is present in your day you can be assured that regardless of your circumstances you are being watched over and kept safe by the Creator.

Crow is also here to tell you about clarity of vision. Being that the Crow has the ability to see from great heights you too are being called to tune into this Spirit Animal and see from a higher perspective. There may be something in your situation that requires re-examination. Crow is a strong messenger of healing. Crow could be showing up in your life to ask you how a situation that is oppressive can be turned into an opportunity of healing for yourself and possibly for others.

Crows symbolize family. Even if you see just one crow they are never alone. They travel and live communally with extended family and young crows will stay with their mother in the family unit for 2 years before reproducing themselves. Crows take turns babysitting the young of the clan and teaching them. Crows even do large training exercises where multiple family’s gather to train young crows skills such as riding an air thermal to great heights. Crow Spirit could be visiting you to remind you to be thankful for your family and to encourage you to be an active member of your familial unit. If you are experiencing discord within your family Crow Spirit is reminding you that this discord will pass. You and your family members will again come back together once the lesson of the disharmony is learned.

Crow is also a symbol of community. If you encounter Crows while experiencing hardship or loneliness, Spirit is letting you know you are surrounded by support from the Universe. Spirit is encouraging you to open your senses and feel yourself surrounded by the many supportive energies available to you. These supportive energies may be Angels, ancestors or Galactic Soul Family. This Crow encounter may also signify that soon you will find the community you seek in your Spiritual Practice. Be on the lookout for new, positive connections with other people.

Finally, Crows can be interpreted as a sign of freedom from darkness. Crow’s feathers are black symbolizing integration of the shadow side. Crow also keeps others safe by being able to see danger clearly and discern when to alert others of a possible threat, symbolizing safety. Crow may symbolize for some ascending above darkness and seeing the darkness from a higher light. Seeing from a place of enlightenment and mastery.

There are many other lessons Crow Spirit teaches. Engage your intuition when a Crow enters your life. What is the Crow doing? Observe this blessed messenger and take note of his actions. Within his actions lies great wisdom and a special, spiritual message the Divine has created just for you.
