The Wisdom of the Crow and The dream Tree

In the summer of 2006 a crow kept visiting me in my town garden...He would sit on the window ledge and knock on my studio window then fly into the garden and put on an amazing display...

He'd sit on the compost bin where a mirror perched above it, crow three times and open his wings fully caressing the compost bin while pecking the mirror three times, then he'd fly to the gate post crow again and fly off into the distance...

This magnificent display continued throughout the summer, if he couldn't find me in the studio he would come to my second floor office studio, he knew where to find me...and he wasn't shy of showing others his extraordinary behaviour...

At the time I was in the process of making my dreams become reality, I was trying to break free of the old me and leave the past behind, where it belongs and only taking with me the lessons I had learnt...I was also about to married in Gretna Green, a dream of mine...

I researched into the symbolic meaning of the crow and found that the Crow's Wisdom was sending me many answers to questions I had asked of late...

The Crow's Wisdom Includes

• Guardian of the place before existence
• Ability to move in space and time/shape shifting
• Honouring ancestors
• Carriers of souls from darkness into light
• Working without fear in darkness
• Guidance while working in shadow
• moves freely in the void understands all things related to ethics

Then I read a quote from a Netsilik song

In the very earliest time, when both people and animals lived on earth, a person could become an animal if he wanted to and animal could become a human being.
Sometimes they were people and sometimes they were animals and there was no difference.
All spoke the same language.

Now I know I have the ability to comunicate with nature, I have always been connected to life...But I had never received such a strong message that was visable to all...

I began receiving newsletters to do with mirroring, the topic was popping up all around me...
I was amazed at the synchronosity and the way in which the spirit world communicates...

After Our Honey moon in August I arrived home to find the mirror had dropped, but not smashed and the Crow now visits with his pal....

I feel blessed to have been visited by such a wonder, a messenger from the higher realms...

During this time I painted the dream tree, which revealed to me that I was to reach my goals, some of which have already happened...oh how I am looking forward to reaching the pinnacle...
