The other day I was asking for a sign that everything will be ok (really difficult time for me). I was out most of the days and all I've been seeing were crows and some other black birds(don't know the name). I was more hoping for a nice cloud shape or white feather or something ( I kept my mind and heart open for other possible signs as well). I got nothing :(
So,what is your opinion on dark birds?

"Remember that all birds have qualities in common. Most fly and (thus) are often messengers--between realms, people, and even states of being.
It is difficult to label and define the powers and qualities of any single bird. We can--however--(by studying their behaviors, qualities, and habitats) discover their meaning for ourselves and you can begin by asking yourself important questions like;
*What were you doing--or thinking--at the time of the encounter?
*What has been most on your mind for the 24 hours prior to the encounter?"
"AnimalWise" by Ted Andrews
It is generally accepted by many Cultures and Religions that Birds (especially when you encounter the same Bird--repeatedly) are Divine Messengers who relay information back and forth--between the different Planes of Existence.
I have chosen two famous Black Birds from the "Animal Spirits Knowledge Cards" and I would like to share their meanings with you (now);
"The Crow
Symbolism: renewal, transformation, magic, abundance.
Like the Raven (with whom it is often compared) the Crow wields powerful magic. In Native American beliefs--the Crow restores order to the heavens.
A belief common among the Sioux Nation links the Crow to abundance and prosperity. One legend tells of a White Crow that warns the Buffalo every time hunters approach--which leads to hunger and starvation. The White Crow is (eventually) captured by the Hunters--then thrown into the fire.
However--if he escapes (before being completely burned) then he is only blackened by the fire and black becomes his permanent color.
As the Crow flees--he promises never to warn the Buffalo (again).
The Crow is (thus) likened unto the Phoenix (as well) and serves as an omen of powerful transformation--where the old is burned away and new is created from the ashes. A change that promises to bring renewal and abundance and is (therefore) for the betterment of all concerned."
"The Raven
Symbolism: creation, magic, illumination.
The Raven is frequently associated with powerful magic and omens.
Its symbolism parallels that of the coyote and the rabbit in some Native American Cultures and is (often) worshiped as a Deity.
The Haida and Tlingit Peoples of western Canada and Alaska--revered the Raven as a hero and helper of human beings. A role that is made evident by the Raven's prominent position in the Totems of the northwest.
The Raven is believed to have placed the Sun, Moon, and Stars in the Sky--bringing light to the people--both day and night."
(IMHO) it would be safe to say that the Black Bird is your Guardian and Guide through the transformative periods of your life and will shine a light in the darkness--making certain that you (always) find your way.
Peace and Love on your path to Discovering the Mysteries...
Blessed be...
Ever your friend,
