Black Raven, why are you running around? Crow croaks sign A gray crow flew overhead 3 times.

Perhaps no other bird in the world evokes so many controversial opinions. It is always where carrion and carrion are, which is why it has always been considered a symbol of war. In the old days, it was considered the constant companion of black magicians, and they also believed that they could turn into these birds. However, in many fairy tales, the raven personifies wisdom and worldly experience, and often such a bird helped the main character find a way out of the most difficult situation; just remember the fairy tale about Ivan Tsarevich and the gray wolf. All the signs associated with crows will be told, in particular, the fact that he flew overhead.

Behavior of a special bird towards a special person

It must be said that the phenomenon of a crow almost landing on one’s head is a rarity, so the sign associated with this has aroused interest at all times. The ancient Slavs believed that this bird was a conductor between two worlds - Navy and Reality, that is, the world of the dead and the living. At the same time, it was not customary to be afraid of the former; on the contrary, people believed that their relatives who had passed on to another world protected and protected them, and through the ravens they could warn about danger and give some advice. If a crow bird lands on its head or touches it with its wing, then this sign means imminent troubles, misfortunes, serious illness, or even death. The worst case scenario is not always the worst - perhaps big changes await such a person, for example, a change of job.

The ancient people who lived on the territory of what is now Ukraine believed that the bird thus recognized the person as one of its own, that is, as having some kind of supernatural abilities. And if today the sign associated with the fact that a crow hit or pecked a child on the head is interpreted not in the best way and they are afraid of the baby’s death, then they believed that an extraordinary fate awaited him if the bird singled him out from all the others.

A bird croaking behind your back promises injury or the appearance of an enemy in your life, and if a raven circles behind your head and croaks, then this sign is associated with future problems, troubles and interference. Anyone planning a trip should pay attention to this, especially if the bird has flown in the opposite direction. In the same way, you can decipher a sign if a bird follows a walking person.

Other signs with crows

A crow sitting on the roof of a house or has always been associated with future funerals. And if in the first case it was clear whose house trouble would come to, then in the second they paid attention to where the bird’s tail was “looking” and expected bad news from that direction. However, a large concentration of birds on the roof was already interpreted as an imminent wedding, and attention was also paid to the number of birds flying over the cortege. If there was one, then it was believed that the marriage would not be happy, but if there were two or more, then everything would be fine for the newlyweds.

The knocking of a beak on a window is not good, as is a bird visiting the windowsill. In general, any bird knocking on a window has always been considered a harbinger of death. However, in past centuries this was again associated with the activities of departed ancestors. Supposedly this is how they convey the news to their relatives and provide a chance in life that is important not to miss. A bird walking on the threshold of a house has always been associated with future theft, and this is no coincidence, because everyone knows how greedy crows are for everything bright and shiny.

Meeting a crow sitting on a stone on the way is always a sign of danger, and this is especially true for those who went into the forest to hunt or pick mushrooms and berries. It is recommended to turn back, otherwise you may encounter a wild animal. The same applies to the situation when a crow appears at a resting place and behaves restlessly - it flies and flaps its wings. It’s worth packing up quickly and looking for another place to stay.

Perhaps no other bird in the world evokes such a controversial attitude. The black color spoiled the reputation of crows, so Since ancient times, they have been considered the embodiment of evil and devilish forces. The devil could take the form of a raven, a woman was considered a witch if crows liked to gather on the roof of her house, and so on. However, this is only one side of the coin. In fairy tales, the raven often acts as a wise and benevolent messenger. He can help the hero with advice, bring him living and dead water.

Crows in the mythology of the ancient Slavs

Most likely, the duality of the image of the crow is due to the fact that for the ancient Slavs, these birds personified a guide between worlds. Most often - between Navu and Reality, the worlds of the dead and the living. We just need to remember that our ancestors had a completely different attitude towards the afterlife than we do. It was believed that deceased relatives monitor their descendants, help them when they can, warn them of dangers, and try to give some advice. People had no fear of Nava, but of course, poking around there for no reason was not considered a good idea either.

Ancient signs about ravens

A crow sits on the roof of a house and croaks - this means the death of someone in the house. But if there are a lot of them, then it’s time for the wedding. One crow flew, cawing, over the newlyweds' cortege - to an unhappy marriage. And three croaking crows mean happiness and a “full cup” for the house. If the first bird the hunter met in the forest turned out to be a crow, the hunt will be unsuccessful. But if a crow follows him, this, on the contrary, portends good prey.

A crow sat on someone's head - a sign of imminent troubles, misfortunes, serious illnesses, or even death. But the ancient Ukrainians considered this just a sign of the magical powers that a person marked in this way possesses. But they did not have an Inquisition, so it cannot be said that the identified witch was necessarily awaited by misfortune and death.

If a crow pecks a child on the head, he is dead, says an old sign that has survived to this day. But its original meaning was different: an extraordinary fate awaits such a baby. And the crow, pecking him on the head, singled him out from all the others.

Where there is a crow, death is near. This saying comes from the habit of crows gathering in battlefields., where they fed on the corpses of fallen soldiers. And one might think that this means that there is nothing mystical in this saying... But for some reason, in most modern cemeteries, crows also live in whole flocks. Although, of course, they cannot reach the buried bodies. Now don’t believe in the mystical nature of these birds.

Modern signs about ravens

Nowadays, few people live in private houses, almost everyone lives in apartment buildings. Almost no one hunts in the forests, and few people believe in witches. So what signs about crows are still relevant today? Many, but they require a slightly different approach. For example, signs about a crow flying onto the roof of a house can be remade for window sills. Where else can a poor crow fly if it is determined to convey some kind of sign to the residents of the third, for example, floor of a seven-story building? And instead of a hunter going into the forest, you can take a man who is about to make an important deal without losing the meaning. And yet, modern signs about crows have slightly changed their meaning compared to the ancient ones. Let's look at the main changed signs.

Crow on the windowsill

If a crow sits on the windowsill and does not want to fly away, this is a big waste of money. But a big waste of money can be associated with something good: buying a new laptop or, for example, booking a trip with a travel agency. So, if you are very afraid of bad omens when you see a crow on your windowsill, treat yourself to something as soon as possible.

Knocking on the window

If a crow persistently knocks on the window (especially for several days in a row), this is always a sign of big changes. Pessimists believe that these changes will not be good. That is, illness, death, various troubles. This is not entirely true, it's just the raven gives you some message from your ancestors(remember the original meaning of the image). Look around carefully, maybe soon you will get the chance that you have dreamed about all your life, so don’t miss it.

Crows outside the window

If a flock of crows has taken up the habit of gathering on a tree growing near your window, this is a sign that you should beware of gossip. Watch what you say and do. Perhaps somewhere in your environment there is an ill-wisher who is just waiting for an opportunity to harm you.

Cancel omen

If a crow outside your window frightens you, don't be upset. All signs associated with windows can be “cancelled”. To do this, when the bird flies away, tie a red thread around the window handle. And let everyone in the family do the same. You can additionally read a prayer if you really want to, but in general, a thread is enough.

Believe only in good omens, and they will definitely come true!

It will be a good and fruitful trip

According to the general belief of our and foreign ancestors, crows are the bearers of bad news. The signs about crows are mostly gloomy. What other meaning can be given to scavenger birds with dark plumage and an unpleasant croak?

“Karkal!” - a standard reproach to someone who has caused trouble. Crow's Edge - a harbinger illnesses, disasters and death. Previously, it was heard over battlefields, burial places of people and livestock, and now, when city crows feed on food waste, it was heard next to landfills. Not so scary anymore!

In the last couple of centuries, signs about crows, like many others, have “softened” and also acquired a positive or neutral meaning.

Lonely flying crow- a harbinger of bad events.
A crow on the roof pecks at a flag, advertising banner or other fabric- unfortunately for the head of the family living under this roof. The sign does not tell you how to interpret a sign if the house is an apartment building.
See two or three crows- Unfortunately.
And here see four crows at once- to replenish the family. At least somehow compensate for all those dead people who are promised by other “crow” signs.
Catch ravens fighting, especially bloody, with loss of feathers - to trouble.
Flocks of crows fly high in the sky- a sign of good, clear weather.
A crow flies to your right- to good luck, left- to difficulties on the way to the goal.
Crow pecks a bone– to fractures and other injuries and diseases of bones.
Crow carries food in its beak- a sign of profit.
The crow holds in its beak a sliver, a twig,—it's wooden- portends a fruitful friendship with a good person.
Seeing a crow during a wedding celebration- to failure. It can extend both to the marriage and to the life of anyone present.
And if crows sit quietly on the roof of the house- for a quick wedding. Obviously, in return for the damaged one from the point above.

On the window and outside the window

Urban living makes adjustments to the interpretation of signs. There are fewer and fewer fields and forests around us, more and more high-rise buildings and double-glazed windows. In pursuit of insects, crows, like pigeons and sparrows, often sit on the cornice. What could this mean (besides the fact that the crow is hungry)?

A crow flew into the house- to death in this house. If someone is sick and a crow flies into his room, most likely the sign is intended for him.
A crow persistently knocks on the window and caws- unfortunately, death. Especially if before that she or her friends were circling above the house.
A flock of crows gathers in a tree outside your window– someone is spreading rumors behind your back.

Near a church or cemetery

The crow has always been suspected of being close to the world of the dead, so a separate category of signs is for a crow in a place where you think about death ten times more often than usual.

The crow flew over the churchyard and then sat down- The funeral will take place soon. Not necessarily in the family of those who saw the crow, so you can relax a little.
A crow sat on the church roof and cawed- hints at imminent death, reports about the deceased. Again, it is difficult to determine who exactly this deceased will relate to.
A crow sat on a gravestone- a sign of the imminent death of the priest of the parish to which the cemetery belongs. It's a little less blurry now.
A crow sat on a grave cross and points its tail towards someone's house- to the deceased in this very house. Specifically and no discrepancies! It’s good that even in cities, graves are far from residential buildings.

Hear the crow

Have you heard a crow cawing, but the bird is nowhere to be seen? Or did you hear it first, and then, after searching, noticed it?

The crow screamed twice and fell silent- to money. It's time to tackle projects that have been put off for a long time: now everything will work out.
The crow called three times- portends death.
Hear a croak on the left- to difficulties in business, especially if you are standing in water (swimming or stepping in a puddle).
Crows cawing over the house- to the illness of household members.
Hear a crow cawing between 20:00 and 22:00- fortunately. This short period is the only time when crows cawing are definitely good. Many people are returning from work at this time, it’s time to listen.
The croaking of crows is heard for a long time and without interruption- to bad weather. In winter - to frosts and snowstorms.
A crow caws looking south- to the robbery of a witness to this action.
The croak of a crow sitting on the roof of a house,- a sign that one of your friends remembers you and is going to see you.
Hear a crow cawing in the forest and get scared- to failure in plans, don't flinch and pass by- to success in life.

Close encounter with a crow

Birds vary in impudence and fearlessness from species to species and from individual to individual. Among the crows there are those who are not at all afraid of people, therefore in such behavior there is clearly a sign from above.

The crow sat on his head- a good omen, promising wealth, success in business and a turn of life in a more successful direction. Everything that was bad, alarming, and draining of strength before will soon go away, the hard times will end, a new day will come with new income and good luck. You just need to be careful, crows have great claws, and their beaks are hard and strong. Do not frighten the bird to avoid injury.
The crow has marked you– that’s also great, it’s good for the money. Not a very pleasant accident, the clothes will have to be cleaned, but at least a happy meaning.
A crow flew into a car– warns of an accident. Be careful on the road this day!

Protection from misfortunes

Crows are such harmful birds in terms of signs! What can be done to ensure that the failures and death that they announce en masse are avoided?

Don't touch the crows themselves. Destroying a crow's nest means causing the death of a child. Killing a crow means a fire and damage to the house. Therefore, do not touch it yourself and teach your children to avoid the nests or carefully move them if the crow has chosen an inconvenient place for nesting.
The bird flew into the house - carefully, so as not to cause injury, and was caught and released. Beware of the claws and beak! The surfaces where the crow landed must be thoroughly washed. The advice is universal for any bird that has flown into the house; they most often mean misfortune; the house needs to be cleared of them.
A red thread should be tied to the window handle to prevent disease from entering the house.

Wise folk beliefs will help you find out why a crow croaks, knocks on a window, or flies into a house. Many signs about these birds have survived to this day. Almost all nations believed that with their help it was possible to determine the future, to find out whether happiness or misfortune awaited.

A crow croaks - to trouble

Superstitions warn that hearing a crow's voice is a bad omen. Failure will await those who were afraid when they heard the croaking. If you're not scared, bad things shouldn't happen.

Signs are valid when you hear croaking near your house. But if you heard it somewhere else on the same day, this will lead to failure.

A scream from the left (while you are in the water) - there are great difficulties in your work, you will not be able to overcome them on your own.
The cawing of three crows was regarded as a sign that a person would soon die.
On the street, a bird flies around you, shouts once to the left, then to the right - beware of scammers or thieves.
First she croaked from the right, then from the left - you're lucky. Real wealth awaits.
She shouted nearby and flew in the opposite direction - you are doing something wrong, there will be great difficulties on the way to the goal, you should choose a different path.
A crow croaks behind your back - a large number of enemies will appear, but you can handle it. Sometimes this sign warns of injury.
A bird screams overhead - expect problems.

By the way, not only the sounds of a crow can be deciphered to find out what awaits you. It is believed that this may also be an important warning.

What does "crow's funnel" mean? If the birds begin to circle in the whole flock in one place, this is a sign:
the birds are very worried, afraid of someone;
the weather may change.

It's no secret that animals and birds are able to predict the weather.

The whole flock is screaming and looking at the pond (into the puddle), there will soon be heavy rainfall.
After sunset there is a flock of crows near the water - wait for a storm.
They croak after thunder - it will rain.
The longer the sound of a flock of ravens is heard, the worse the weather will be.
The bird croaks an even number of times; the weather will be clear during the day. Odd - expect rain.
There are a lot of crows flying - there will be a strong wind.
The bird often cleans its feathers - this means precipitation.
In winter they hide in tree branches - expect severe frosts.
No matter how many birds fly towards the sun, the weather will be good.

A bird has flown into the house or is flying nearby

Our ancestors were sure that the crow did not bode well and positive signs were rather an exception to the rule. Birds were associated with death, misfortune, and were companions of black sorcerers. Skeptics argue that the bird may have simply been interested in some kind of glitter and it is not a harbinger of terrible diseases.

In many countries, people believed that birds have a special sense; they do not attract trouble, but feel where it will happen and warn people about it.

If a crow sits near the house, trouble awaits the one who noticed it. At the same time, the bird croaked - indicates illness. A crow or sitting on a windowsill means trouble with the law, theft, and quarrels with influential people are possible.

Pay attention to where the bird is looking. Trouble will come from that direction. When a bird looks at a pet through a window, trouble will happen to it. There is another interpretation of superstition - it is not the pet’s life that is in danger, but yours (because of the animal).

An extremely negative sign - a bird has entered the room, flies around the rooms and croaks. This may indicate an impending serious illness for all people living in the room, in the worst case scenario - death. The negative influence of superstition multiplied if there were several flying birds.

The King of Horror - Alfred Hitchcock

A crow sat on the open sash of the window, and if there is a sick or elderly person in the room, he will soon die. However, there are also positive beliefs. So, if a raven flies from time to time to the same house and sits on the roof, the family will experience happiness, travel, and a new addition to the family.

For young people, this may indicate official marriage, a romantic adventure, for creative people - inspiration, for public figures - an opportunity to gain public recognition.

If a crow lands on a granary or the roof of a church (but not on a cross), then it portends enrichment. There are a lot of crows sitting on the roof of the house where a young unmarried woman lives - she will soon walk down the aisle.

Meeting a crow on the road

During the journey, I met a crow - an important sign. Bird:

follows you on the right side - expect trouble;
flies to the left - you will receive wealth on the road;
sitting on a rock - beware of fellow travelers, watch your things and don’t talk too much.

Saw an odd number of birds - quarrel, anger, disaster.

If you met while relaxing in the forest - be careful, it is better to move from this place, it is very likely to meet a wild animal.

There is a burnt tree by the road, and a crow is sitting on it - foretells imminent death.

A bird is holding something in its beak - theft, illness, attack by a predator. Don't pitch your tent where a crow is flying. Otherwise trouble will come.

The crow sat on the car - it’s better not to go anywhere today, there is a high probability of an accident.

Several birds fly out of the thicket of the forest - expect a bad harvest.

Our ancestors believed that if two flocks of crows fly at each other, it means war. But if on the way you meet a bird feeding another, this promises good news.

Other signs about crows

A bird lands near the church - wait for the funeral. This is also indicated by the bird that landed on the cross on the roof of the church. You need to look in which direction her tail is pointing. It is from there that the deceased will be carried. It was sometimes believed that a screaming bird on a church cross foreshadowed the death of a clergyman.

One crow flew to the wedding, this indicates resentment, adversity, failure in marriage, and an imminent divorce. But if there were two of them, then not only the spouses will be happy together, but good luck will await everyone present.

Our ancestors believed that if a blind man was kind to birds, his sight would return to him.

Crow - this will attract money. It was forbidden to kill such birds; this would lead to the death of livestock, pets and even family members of the person who committed the crime. People believed that troubles would haunt a person for exactly the same number of years as the bird he killed.

Most signs (associated with crows) have a negative connotation. However, there are also those who warn of good changes in life. But it’s up to you to decide which signs to trust.
