Let me tell you about the day the crows came and changed my life. I was in a quandary. Should I finally sever all ties to my primary source of income of over 15 years, sell my house, and move to Sedona as my guide suggested? This would mean leaving my wonderful family and friends behind and moving far away to follow my spiritual path and pursue my heart’s desire. It would require a free fall in my full-time career as a communicator and animal healer, something my soul yearned for and something I had been doing part-time for several years, and my true passion in life. After studying for 10 years, I couldn’t be more prepared.
crowI already knew the answer to my question, but that day, feeling a little insecure and a little scared, I just wanted a sign, one that I couldn’t miss! Having always felt a direct link to the universe, I sat in my office at the back of my house and asked for a sign. Within seconds, six large crows appeared on the huge old maple tree in my front yard and began cawing at the top of their lungs. It took me a moment to realize they were talking to me, since it was a cold winter day, all the windows in the house were closed. I opened the door, and I stayed there keeping awake in his calls. I decided that his message warranted further investigation, and went into the living room to think about it. The crows followed me to the front of the house and landed in my neighbor’s tree, where they continued to caw in the direction of my window. This was an important message for me, and they didn’t want me to miss it! I recognized it and thanked them, and within seconds they were gone. “When you need us, just give us a call,” was all I heard as they flew off to their next task.
He knew why the ravens had come. They came to show me that I must trust what my heart has been telling me for years! Her message was that now is the time to “let go and fly.” To satisfy my “head” or logical mind, I consulted the “Animal-Wise Tarot” deck, by Ted Andrews. I couldn’t have gotten a clearer message. The key teachings for Raven Messenger are as follows:
* not trust or put faith in the material world…when we focus on our spiritual
goals, the material will be taken care of
* this is the time to move, inaction will create more problems now than not making any decision or taking any action at all
* crows can teach us how to understand and communicate with animals; with the raven, human and animal spirits intermingle and become one
* the appearance of the raven is the confirmation to proceed with the healing work in the spiritual realms
* now is the time to face our fears
To further confirm my message, I consulted the Animal Druid oracle and learned that Raven gives the go-ahead for career expansion. Given my telepathic link to the animal kingdom, how perfect that my “signal” came in the form of an animal communication, one that I surely wouldn’t miss. Raven’s message reminds us that in order to fully experience the new, we must let go of the old. Filled with gratitude for the clear message she had received, I grabbed a box and started packing!
