Crows at the Temple

Tuesday we noticed that there were crows sitting on Moroni's Trumpet.  I was thinkng that crows meant bad luck, so I looked up some of the superstitions regarding crows.  Some say crows mean bad luck or death.  Here are some of the ones that I like better.

Crows symbolise death but not a negative they are said in olden times to bring back the souls of the dead who have unfinished business.  
Seeing a single crow is very unlucky. Two crows mean good luck!

Counting crows has been a popular method of divination for hundreds of years.
  • One Crow — signifies bad luck.
  • Two Crows — good luck, change for the better
  • Three Crows — a celebration, possibly a wedding or the birth of a girl
  • Four Crows — birth of a boy, or an event having to do with a son
  • Five Crows — silver, a good transaction
  • Six Crows — gold, sometimes a negative transaction
  • Seven Crows — a secret
  • Eight Crows — a life altering experience
  • Nine Crows — passion
  • Ten Crows — something overwhelming
  • Eleven Crows — uncertainty
  • Twelve Crows — fulfillment or completion
  Bob thinks seeing the two crows meant that the statue held heat and the birds were getting warm.



I am going to go with the two crows meaning good luck!

Saturday we had supper at Nathan's house. Sunday we were invited out to supper by a ward member.  Monday we had supper and Family Home evening at Nathan's.

Tuesday we had our district meeting and then went to Tara's and stayed with the boys while she shopped.

Yesterday the temple opened for the first time since February 4th.  In the evening I helped at the Family History Center here.  I am subbing for five Wednesday evenings in a row.

Well, stay tuned and we will let you know when good luck comes our way.
