Description
Celts: For the Celts, the crow was sacred and meant ‘the flesh torn by fighting’. As it eats carrion, the metaphor “the crow pierced you” was used to say “you have died”. They thought crows escorted the sun during his nocturnal path, that is to say in Hell. So they were a symbol of evil, contrary to swanns, symbolizing purity.
