My fascination with ravens and crows....
My fascination with ravens and crows....
started when I was very young. It really became pronounced around eight or nine years old, after a significant event that seemed to alter the course of my life.
Anyways, one thing I noticed about the crows when I was young is the way they adapted. On a trip across the country with my grandparents and mother, I saw the crows at home in California eating berries and fruit. They might occasionally grab a French fry, but I never really saw them eating meat. However, as we traveled east, I noticed they were adapting their diet. In Kansas, they were eating food on the road, and farther along, they would eat anything.
Despite this adaptability, it seems like people everywhere have a bad taste in their mouth about crows. It doesn't make sense, but I gained a lot of respect for them. They survive, they adapt, they look out for one another, and they're very intelligent. Now that I'm older, I believe there are many reasons for this that weren't apparent to me as a child.
Because of this respect, I have a huge fascination with crows. They're around me all the time. I feed them before work, they follow me, and they nest around my house. It can honestly look like the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" sometimes, with hundreds flying around, singing, and chirping. It's an amazing honor and makes me feel very blessed.
This fascination has led me to learn that nothing happens for no reason, especially in terms of spirituality and religion. I've come across some interesting things I'd like to share. You know how in the story of the Ark and the flood, Noah let the crow go first? It just flew around until the water dissipated, but where did it go? Crows and ravens can't fly for long periods of time, so where did it rest?
Well, I think it went to Elijah, who was being fed meat and bread. Elijah has been around for a very long time, and I think we overlook his importance. But before I go deeper into that, I want to talk about my spiritual journey here in Angola (Aton) and my amazing relationship with the crows.
About a year ago, I was working with a friend and his family. They are an amazing group of men, genuinely nice, and they treat me the way any human would want to be treated. I don't think they understand me, but they don't put me down or discourage me either. They're just good people, and I think I knew them in a previous life. Sadly, one day my friend accidentally ran over one of the crows I used to feed. He felt terrible, and he came to tell me.
Naturally, I went out to clean up the crow and said a prayer. I still have its head on my shelf and made a yin-yang symbol from its wing and a dove wing. That day, I decided to consume some of the crow DNA. While I didn't understand why at the time, I wanted the crow's blood to be a part of me.
With the crow blood now in me, I wonder if they can smell it. They're always around, but none have landed on me yet. I'm waiting excitedly for that day. Part of the fascination with this whole story is that it helped me realize the significance of it all.
So, back to Elijah. He lived with the Sumerians, who wrote about the Anunnaki. What if Elijah never truly left and has been protected by God and surrounded by ravens and crows all this time? Our world seems to discourage anything related to crows, even though in the spiritual world, they're symbols of transformation, positivity, intelligence, and a sign of good things to come.
Take some time and look up Luke 12:24-34 and see what said about how valuable crows are. It's confusing that society tries to separate crows from spirituality. What if those crows from the Ark were flying to feed and rest with Elijah?
I share that sense of being misunderstood with the crows, just trying to help but encountering negativity. Crows might be seen as bad, but aren't doves and crows both representations of angels? Our society seems intent on denouncing anything that might lead to God, yet everyone wants to be right about their own beliefs.
There are many gods like Amen-Ra that lead to our God. Elijah seemed to know all these figures. So did another well known name, Moses. Have you ever thought about how unusual that is?
I hope you found this interesting, and I'll be back with more to say soon! We're all the same, all of the same blood. Anyways, have a blessed day. Ahamdulillah, God bless, and what a mess, ay? Deuces.
Stay blessed, stay true to yourself, and always remember, you’re never alone on this incredible journey. Wishing you an abundance of peace, love, and an overflow of good vibes until our paths cross again. Thanks for being a part of this adventure with me. Until next time, Deuces!
