Let me tell you about the day the ravens came and changed my life. I was in a quandary. Should I finally sever all ties to my main source of income for over 15 years, sell my house, and move to Sedona as my guidance was suggesting? This would involve leaving my wonderful family and friends behind, and moving far away to follow my spiritual path and pursue my heart’s desire. It would require a free fall into my full time career as an Animal Communicator and Healer, something my soul longed for and something I had been doing part time for a number of years now, and my true passion in life. After studying for 10 years, I couldn’t be more ready.
I already knew the answer to my question, but that day, feeling a little unsure and somewhat fearful, I just wanted a sign, one that I couldn’t miss! Having always felt a direct link with the universe, I sat down in my office at the back of my house, and asked for a sign. Within seconds, six large ravens appeared in the huge old maple tree in my yard, and began squawking at the tops of their lungs. It took me a moment to realize they were talking to me, as being a cold winter day, all of the windows in the house were closed. I opened the door, and stood there reveling in their calls. I decided their message warranted some deeper investigation, and I went into the front room to meditate on it. The ravens followed me to the front of the house, and came to rest in my neighbour’s tree, where they continued to squawk in the direction of my window. This was an important message for me, and one they didn’t want me to miss! I acknowledged it and thanked them, and within seconds they were gone. “When you need us, just call,” was all I heard as they flew off to their next task at hand.
I knew why the ravens had come. They came to show me that I should trust what my heart had been telling me for years! Their message was that it is now time to “let go and fly.” To satisfy my “head,” or logical mind, I consulted the “Animal-Wise Tarot” deck, by Ted Andrews. I couldn’t have received a clearer message. The key teachings for raven messenger are as follows:
- not to trust or put faith in the material world…when we focus on our spiritual
goals, the material will be taken care of - this is the time to move, failure to act will create more problems now than not making any decisions or taking any action at all
- ravens can teach us how to understand and communicate with animals; with raven, human and animal spirits intermingle and become as one
- the appearance of raven is confirmation to proceed with healing work in the spiritual realms
- now is the time to face our fears
To further confirm my message, I consulted the Animal Druid oracle, and learned that Raven gives the go-ahead for career expansion. Given my telepathic link to the animal kingdom, how perfect that my “sign” came in the form of communication from an animal, one I would be sure not to miss. Raven’s message reminds us that to fully experience the new, we must let go of the old. Filled with gratitude for the clear message I had received, I grabbed a box and started packing!
