The Mythical Mysteries Of Crows And Ravens
Crows and ravens are common in the superstitions of both the ancient Greeks and Romans. Both cultures considered these mysterious birds highly significant in the practice of augury, an ancient divination practice of interpreting omens or prophecies from the observed flight patterns of birds.
In the Greco-Roman world, the soothsayers, known as augers would predict future events by examining the behavior of birds, which was known as ‘taking the auspices.’ Crows and ravens were considered especially significant, both for their ominous black feathers, as well as their flight patterns and eerie behavior. It was believed that if a crow or raven flew in from the east or south, for example. It was considered an omen of good, positive fortune.
Ravens and crows mythology is also found in the native cultures of North America. In addition to being portrayed as tricksters, the intelligence of these birds is often a prominent feature in their characterization. In one Native American story, the raven is described as a shapeshifter who stole a box of light owned by the chief of Heaven, and flew away with it. The raven dropped the box, and light broke into many pieces, creating the stars, the Moon, and the Sun.
The Shapeshifting Cougar And The Grey Wolf
Here we go again…I can feel myself starting to transform. The shapeshifting is always an uncomfortable sensation at first, but just for a very short time. After that, I only feel the pleasant sensation of growing much stronger than my human body. All of my physical senses become heightened, as well as my psychic senses. For I am a powerful, prenatural being… inexplicable by natural means.
Most of mankind will never believe that we actually exist. We are the shapeshifters – a very special group of inter-dimensional beings. But we do co-exist with you in this world and we have a special mission: to watch over the creatures of Earth and offer them protection when needed.
After my transformation is complete, I find myself being drawn to the creek – a small inlet of water that leads to the majestic Long Island Sound, a tidal estuary of the Atlantic Ocean, located between Connecticut and Long Island. There is a special tree there that I love sitting under. It is fun to meditate and relax there.
This time, I meet here with my special friend, who is also a shapeshifter. He takes on the form of a large, grey wolf. Occasionally, we join forces, when we have something of great importance to attend to. Today is one of those times. We always keep track of our special animal friends, when they are left outside to fend for themselves. We take care to ensure that they are in places of safety, and we make sure that they are well-fed.
My wolf friend has summoned me telepathically, after using his psychic gift of smell. When he greets me, I can immediately tell that something is bothering him. “I am glad you showed up tonight,” he says. “Have you noticed that lately we seem to be having less and less of our animal friends around?
Shamanic Shape Shifting Of Departed Loved Ones
Crows do not symbolize doom and gloom as portrayed in some myths and movies. They are a symbol of magic, intelligence, keen communication, and much more. They can see far into the spirit realm and bring messages for those who are open to receiving them. So, if a crow appears to you, use your intuition to truly receive the messages it brings.
Crows often carry the energy of a loved one that has passed, and honor you with the loved one’s presence and sometimes also gifts. It’s called transference. It is a sacred shift of energy. If you have a crow making herself known immediately after a beloved’s passing, rest assured it is, in fact, the presence of your lost love. Respect this transformation with gratitude.
Generally, transference occurs between physical vessels that are similar, making the transference easier for the passed loved one to make the shift. There are exceptions, however, and crow is one of the most common physical vessels used – in great part due to their innate intelligence and ability to soar between dimensions.
It’s all about love in the final analysis. Your loved one left you because there were no other options, due to circumstances of life. Although, too often, they hang on, even while suffering, waiting for a vessel to transfer into. In fact, some won’t leave, regardless, until they have the vessel they need, whether it meets their preferred specifications, or not. They prefer to see or meet the new vessel before they pass, so they know how to best make the shift.
Synda The Shapeshifting Cougar
This is a story about Synda, the shapeshifting cougar. Synda is human, but she also has the gift of being a shapeshifter. She cares for all homeless pets discarded by their uncaring humans. These careless people buy their pets, domestic or wild, just because they were cute or exotic to own, as a social status symbol. In other words, they become pet owners just to show off to their friends. Then when they find out there is so much work to keeping a pet, they just simply get rid of them – sent off to fend for themselves, hurt and broken. Synda then finds these unwanted animals and become their mother and caretaker.
Synda knows that there are also good humans around, and she would regularly visit them especially at night. Since she possesses the power of invisibility, they are not aware of her, and don’t become frightened by the sight of a rather ‘large cat’ sitting by them and smiling! Continue reading
