Magickal Uses of Crow Feathers:
Crow feathers are a powerful anchor for a divination altar, as these are the messenger wings into the InBetween and Other Worlds. When getting ready for divination of any sort, open the working with a deep meditation on the wings, asking them to fly you into the spaces where the Unseen can become Seen by you.
Crow feathers are also deeply powerful activators when you need to send a message across the ethers. Tying a ‘message’ to a feather and keeping that with a lit candle on your altar so that the wings carry your message is highly effective and a beautiful way to hold space for your message to get through.
Connecting To Your Crow Feathers:
Sit with the crow feathers in hand in a meditation. Greet them and the bird they served with respect. Establish a relationship with them by simply sitting with them in hand, opening to feeling the vibrations and energetic they contain. Learn the energetic signature of your feathers. It might take time, but all deep relationships do. You’ll find over time that there will be hints of personality, frequency or feeling they give off while you sit with them. The stronger your connection with the feathers, or any magickal tool for that matter, the clearer and more successful your magickal workings will be.
And always, always, always give them thanks for the space they hold in your life.
