Black snakes, crows, hawk

[OneGrassRoot]

I'm simply sharing...because I enjoy messages from the Animal Kingdom, even if I don't yet know what the message IS. ;)

Hawk is my life totem, as I've written about before. About a year ago now (?), I went through a brief spell of seeing only white animals -- I even saw a white crow, a white deer...it was beyond magickal.

Suddenly everything catching my attention is black. And this is prevalent in my dream and awake states, which is interesting.

Black cats, crows, black snakes.

I'm usually terrified of snakes, and now that it's getting warmer, they are stirring. Two weeks ago there was an incident in my backyard in which Mark saw a black snake in the backyard and came running to tell me (LOL). I just observed (albeit without glasses) and said, "If it climbs that tree, we know it's a racer and is not poisonous." Sure enough, it climbed the tree, but was going after bird eggs, so I asked Mark to gently get the snake off the tree and moving onward. Well, hilarity ensued from that point forward. The snake was NOT going to let Mark get the best of him/her. Mark was running around the back yard...omg...it was hilarious!!! The rather huge snake eventually did move into the neighbor's yard (no doubt still in the neighborhood...lying in wait for Mark...lol), but I was relieved to have not been terrified about the incident.

Two days ago as I was driving, I saw a similar huge black snake coiled in the middle of a road (actually, in the median, not at great risk of being run over).

Yesterday, in a very different location, I saw another huge black snake in the middle of a CRAZY busy highway...I was stunned to even see a snake there....it was in the middle, but it was dead. :(

And the black snakes are in my dreams...I'm not terrified but I can't say I'm overly comfortable either.

The crow messages are all around. OH, and the thing that REALLY got my attention is that, right after seeing the dead snake, after getting off the highway and onto a more country road, I saw two crows attacking a hawk. The hawk SWOOPED down in front of me as the crow attacked. Huge hawk. I'm certainly more drawn toward, and resonate with, the hawk, so I felt bad for the hawk being attacked, though no doubt the crows were defending their babies or something. That was disconcerting to me to have two prevalent totems fighting right in front of me.

Black kitties are all around (for many of us, it seems!); even my departed Rosie came back in a dream the other night.

Makes me wanna say, "hmmmmmmmmmm........"
