Description Medicine crow. Raven shaman. Walking between the worlds, gatekeeper between physical and spiritual realms. Seeker of ancient lore, guide to the path for those who lose their way.

For me this composition has some special spiritual significance to it. I have an extremely strong Corvid totem and spirit guide, and following a shamanistic path of sorts, I have had dreams reflective of this image. It has been swirling in my mind demanding to be put into some sort of physical form.

This is perhaps the closest and most realistic rendition I can put into form by what I have seen in mind’s eye and dreams. I plan to work on other variations to this eventually, but for now I have done it what justice I could.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Crow is my spirit guide too and your picture looks very real to me.

Thank you. I'm glad I could achieve such a realistic render that represents this guide so well, for myself and others.

Thank you. It depicts traditional clothing worn by the Crow ( ApsΓ‘alooke ) Tribe of Native Americans.

I am so very sorry it took me this long to respond to this. I never got a notification that you commented, and I just saw it while catching up on some other things today.

Thank you!

P.S. Have you read Crow and Weasel? Your totem reminds me a lot of the crow in that book. [link]

Oh wow. I had never even heard of that book. So much for originality.

I'll have to see if I can find a copy at the library.

Thank you so much! I tried to follow the link but it said it didn't exist. I would love to see it if you still have it.

Wow...very well put together and the shading/highlights give it just enough light to be mysterious. Lovely.

Thank you. I was hoping for that effect. I have a lot of other Corvid art I need to get out of my system. All in good time.
