Raven In My Yard...After Listening to "Blackbrid" = Me Freaking Out

nobody?

it means you are a spacetime reality god, claim your self

Did this raven call?

Did it make any sound?

This is HUGE.

It'll be a long reply, so I apologize in advance if I digress.

To me, I've always noticed when a raven showed itself because shortly after, doom surely would commence.

In my childhood home, crows were always picking what they could find in our back and front yard, jumping around quickly for a few moments before flying away and loudly cawing. They were typically about a foot tall, and rather large in size. Most dislike crows, but for us, they were a good way to maintain our yard. I remember them vividly and could draw you a crow, another distinct large black bird, if you asked without reference.

What once startled me was when I was waiting for the bus at the end of my drive, just watching the crows one morning, and I heard a call I had never heard. It was piercing and traveled much further. The crows were spooked and flew away quickly. I saw a large shadow fly over my head, but it grew silent. At the time, in the fall, it would be just at sunrise as I was waiting for the bus so it was hard to see until the sun broke over the hill (heavily wooded area) just before the bus would round the bend.

I didn't even notice the bird at first, and though it was an owl or hawk (common in the area). My bus approached in the distance and I looked over at a huge, well, crow I thought.

It was strange because it stared right at me but carried on as if I wasn't there. It had a blue tint to its back.

What blew me away was when that very same day, we began reading "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. It had a picture of the EXACT bird I had seen that same day. I told my teacher that same bird scared off the crows that always pick in our yard, and she was awestruck. She asked if I ever saw a raven, and I of course objected. She told me I was going to go through a rough time.

Sure as shit, my beloved native American grandmother died shortly after, when I had all but forgotten about the happening.

Also not a superstitious person, I was baffled.
My grandmother was actually verry important to me. I wish with all of my heart that I could speak with her again. Sometimes I smell her and think I hear her.

She gave me when she passed her dream catcher, three books (Communion, Battlestar Galactica, and one about the Mayans and ancient civilizations and the year 2012), and a onesie of mine from my childhood.

The three books were coverless.

I think its all part of destiny. She had a connection with me and it took me forever to figure that out.

Could be months until you figure the connection. Could be years.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I wish I could say more but with the internet as a medium, what can I really say?

There are some other things I find really strange as well. A few days before I saw the raven, I had seen the movie "The Big Year" where a Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson all compete to see who can see the most birds in one year. After the movie, the idea of "birding" peaked my interest.

The strangest part about this is that the bird was falling over, almost like it was drunk or something, and then it abruptly flew away after staring at the field. Also, if the bird does in fact have a connection to the song "Blackbird," then I find the fact that it appeared during the day disturbing, considering the line "Blackbird singing in the dead of NIGHT". Also, there is the line "you were only waiting for this moment to arrive".

And yes, I did hear it make bird calls, but only after an hour of it being silent. Much different sound than a crow.

Qouth The Raven, "Nevermore".



Good pic!

Exactly!

Like I said. Destiny.

Twas at first a sign of doom, but is now a sign that we are all one, all connected.

2012 is my climax. Nothing happens, I'm done. Although its highly unlikely nothing will happen.

I'll probably start shilling. The next generation will probably have a date fascination.

I also inscribed the name "Lenore" on my guitar. I'm really freaking out now.

What is the significance?

Oh, and 5* pin suggested...

Just really liked the name.
