Incense of the day: Maple The crow or raven is a powerful symbol of the otherworld in many traditions worldwide. They are believed to be very intelligent and have superb gifts of communication (ancient knowledge that modern science confirms). Therefore, they are often associated with prophecy or omens. Watch the activities of the corvids in your area and listen to their complex speech patterns. Create a ritual honoring the raven and enter into a deep meditative or trance-like state to see if you can begin to understand their speech. Make sure to ask the spirit of Crow or Raven beforehand, showing honor to its sacred power and asking to be shown its power or "medicine" by chanting this rune: Power of raven, spirit of crow, I honor your wisdom and all that you know.Wisdom of raven, language of crow, I honor the power that comes from below. |
