part one – Crow comes to visit
part two – what others have to say about Crow

From the conscious into the unconscious. From the unconscious to the conscious. The breath of Spirit, the breath of the Universe.

From the Void came their song, reaching out over the neighborhood, rending the quiet of the dawn. They sang and squawked and screamed and chattered. One looked east, one looked west. They carried messages from the time of no space, from the space of no time. “We bring change,” they said, “pay attention to what’s going on within you and around you. All things are augury.” As I noticed them, they released their hold and reality began to move forward again, slightly changed, but still familiar.

Peering into the Void itself, I hear echoes of their energy, calling me, beckoning me. “Journey time,” they squawk. “Prepare yourself for a flood of information,” they caution. “This is message week,” they click. “Wear the costume of a hunter, and go into the woods of Udgard. See what you see, learn what you learn, find what you find.”

I must make a bag, a satchel, here in the physical, as a symbol of what I will take with me in the woods. It needs to contain a knife, an arrow, a sling, a stone, a vessel of water, some sand, and 3 herbs – fennel, rosemary, sage.  It needs to have the colors of red, brown, and black, and needs to be of natural materials.

The journey will reveal Truth, dispel illusion, and show a change in Path or direction.  There will be teachers and lessons and information. Branches and options will be revealed. Power will be acquired or accessed.  It must be undertaken very soon.
