The several-month-long creation process revealed quite a
bit about what made me tick and where the shadows of the
past dimmed my inner light. By the time I finished the
deck, I had discovered how to appreciate the lesson of each
card and allow the energy surface without fear. One of the
greatest gifts the Tarot can offer you is an accurate and
complete picture of your self, your strengths, or
weaknesses, the inner-gremlins that wreak havoc just as
things are going well.

The Symbolism of the Crow

Crows have a wide variety of reputations from divine to
wicked. Some cultures consider the crow bad luck and a
harbinger of death, whereas others see them as good
omens. I am guessing if you possess the Crow Tarot, your

opinion of the bird is mostly positive. I have encountered
people who are very firm in their belief that crows are evil
and represent negative otherworldly influences. (And oh
boy, do I get a few strange posts occasionally on my
Facebook page regarding this.) Then there are others who
appreciate the magical quality and view the bird as a
welcomed messenger from the other side. Unlike say the
hummingbird, a creature most everyone agrees upon as
being a positive symbol, I find when it comes to crows,
most people have some pretty strong opinions—I find this
to be fascinating.
