Robin:
Especially noted for it's spreading of new growth. Normally when Robin appears to you it signifies growth in a mirad of areas, not just one. Due to it's connectiong to red, robin is also associated to the Kundalini. The Male robin, when fighting for territory normally will only do so in song and puffing out it's bright red breast, any confrontaions or hindrances are for show and do not normally result in injury. Because Robin's egg is blue, it is believed that robin is also associated with the throat chakra. It is believed thatRobin will appear to help you assert the force and will to make the changes needed or desired in our life. His/Her presencse may represent taht you ahve been attempting to do this on your own inappropriately or ineffectually.
Crow:
These Magnificent birds are know as the keepers ofthe secret magic of all creation. Many argue that the crow if the smartest of all the birds. The color of Crow symbolizes creation & birth. Crows are known for being ever watchful, and often post sentenials/lookouts. They rarely miss a trick. The crow is actually a song bird! And is claimed to have a beautiful and melodious voice when it thinks it is alone. Crow has a Very Complicated Language. It's cawing however should be a reminder to us that each day magic and creation call out to us. Their ability to work togther to ward of predators, protect each other as well as many of the surrounding animals through their communications, and their intelligence have helped them to become great survivors and given rise to the talk of them being theives. They are Omnivors in all truth and are opportunistic, and will take advantage of any possible weakness to gain strength for themselves or their flock. A crow is a very festidious house keeper... Even it's young will not soil their own home. The Mate takes equal responsibility in teh building of their home as well.
Crow has been a part of many creation stories through the ages. It reminds us to look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. It is here for the taking if we only just pay attention.
Blue Jay:
BlueJay is known for it's proper use of power. BlueJay teaches to use your power wisely and not misuse it. It also teaches us to not place ourselves in a position in which others can use magic against us. The word Jay comes from teh Latin word "gaia" or "gaea" which associates to the mother earth. In greek mythology Mother Earth and Father Heaven united and their union resulted in thefirst craetures who had the appearance of life. This is reflective of teh intrinsic powers of the Jay and its ability to connect teh heavens and earth. His markings reflect this ability as well.
The problem with those wjo have Jay as a totem is that he dabbles in both worlds, ratherthan becoming a true master in both. Those with Jay as a totem normally ahve a tremendous amount of ability but it is scattered or not developed any more than needed to just scrape by. Jay's crest reminds us to wear a crown of true master, takes dedication, reponsibility, and the commitment to develope in all physical and spiritual aspects. Do not start somthign and just leave it dangling.
Jays appearance may reveal that you are about to need to adapt and be resourceful. Take advantage of what oppotunities present themselves. Jay stays in the same hoem year round, so look for him to stay withyou as long as you need him.
Jays can also show up during a time in your life when there is imbalance.
Jays represent great talent in it's raw state. But that talent must be developed to be utilized properly. If Jay has shown itself to you, it indicates that you are moving into a time where can begin to develope you inner royalty that is within you, or simply be a pretender to the throne. It all depends on you, as jay has no qualms. He will teach you eaither path.
