Eddy Owt allowed me (Pieter Pastoor) to fill in for him this week. I had to pick a theme, so a show was born about crows in song. Enjoy the journey in the spirit world of crows.
Crows in Song
Omens & death
Crows are often associated with death, darkness, or foreboding.
Wisdom & mystery
In many Native American, Celtic, and Norse myths (and retellings in literature), crows are seen as wise, shape-shifting messengers between worlds.
Transformation & the uncanny
Crows often appear in magical realism or gothic writing as liminal creatures — half in the human world, half in the supernatural.
Ted Hughes’ poetry collection Crow (1970) reimagines the crow as a trickster, creation figure, and survivor.
