Crow

Crows are mythologised in many cultures and often associated with the Supreme Being. With a flap of their wings they create the wind, thunder and lightning. Crows are sometimes associated with carrion and death, but also with the sun, life and transformation. For me the crow represents a kind of ambiguous, unruly earth spirit, something akin to what the Spanish call Duende.

There are several different formats of these images.
