Three years ago I found an injured adult crow in my yard. Sadly, he had been shot through a joint in one wing that could not be repaired - rendering him forever incapable of flight. We built a huge cage and felt that he needed companionship so we purchased a Lady Amherst pheasant chick. We have since added two more chicks which the crow has adopted as his family. I've dedicated this fan to our crow. It contains the energy of One. If your birthdate adds up to one, this fan may be meant for you. You might be someone who brings positive energy into the world, are naturally fearless and you help others adjust to change. You are very true to yourself and love adventure. You are playful, artistic and enthusiastic. You love nature and animals. The mineral is Orange Aventurine and I've wrapped it with copper. The base feathers are peacock.
For some reason this year (2022) I've spent so much time on the weaving aspect of each fan. I think it's a reminder of the Web of Life and how all things are connected. It's been very meditative.
In general Number 1: unique, confidence, one-ness with the many, male or yang energy, divinity, universality of the spirit, also the eccentric or maverick personality, one who stands out and dares to be different, in Tarot it is the number of the Magician (Crows are associated with magic too).
Aventurine: Associated with the astrological sign of Aries. It protects the heart chakra and can block psychic vampirism and energy drain from others making it a very good stone for healers to work with. It can amplify leadership qualities while balancing the intellectual, emotional and physical bodies. It is thought to balance male/female energies, enhance creativity and bring good luck by boosting feelings of optimism and enhancing manifestation power especially when it comes to wealth and finances. It is used in rituals of the medicine wheel and can enhance communication with your spirit guides. Vibrates to the number three.
