The following is but a brief view into what may be conveyed to one who is observant.

The crane brings the gifts of patience ,perseverance and longevity. Combined with its ability to be patient it also conveys the capacity to be focused and concentrate without distraction......thus it persevers. The crane symbolizes the arcane science (Secret Knowledge), the Druidry tree-language.

The Goose

The goose brings creative and productive power. Feathers gifted from the goose allow you to open to this power, secure in the knowledge that your relationship, family or a working partnership will provide a stable environment to act as a crucible for your creativity. A most joyful and worhtwhile activity that we undertake is that of raising children........and with the gift of the goose, its strong attachment to family and its ability to fly extremely high shows us that it is possible to be both grounded and spiritual in our lives.

The crow or raven symbolizes the forces of destruction, of katabolism, the ability to see beyond the veil of death.

He belies the message that cunning when tempered with humor and good intent can be a way to achieve great things while using the rational and honest achievements of others.
