"Black Crow Mojo"
I walk within my Cave of Dreams
Labyrinths that forever wind and turn
Deeper I journey inwards and evermore inwards
Keeping close the keys to secret doorways to
The Outer World.
Am I looking for her?
The Long Lost Girl?
Or am I leading you further
and further, into my arms,
into the arms of my wonderful world?
Like breadcrumbs,
I am dropping you all my precious pearls.
I am the Pheonix Warrior Woman
Adorned in Black Crow Feathers
Robe of Mojo Courage.
Now I am standing in your world
I stand on The Outside
Waiting
and watching you
In your Lost Dark World
(Lovejoy-Burton/March 2018)

"The meaning of the Crow symbol signifies wisdom. According to Native American legends and myths some tribes believed that the Crow had the power to talk and was therefore considered to be one of the wisest of birds. The sacred bird of the famous Ghost Dance was the crow. The Ghost Dance Religion used it as a symbol of the past when the crow had acted as a pathfinder for hunting parties. The feathers of the crow adorned their clothes and each dancer was to wear one eagle feather or one crow feather in their hair, The Sioux believed that when the great, final flood came to earth that the crow feathers would lift the ghost dancers from the ground to the safety of the heavens."
