All images in the Calendar can be purchased separately from my collection Crows & Ravens

There is little wonder that crows are very often the subjects of legends, folk-tales, and storytelling traditions around the world, all of which is very deep-seated and arising from myth and folklore thousands of years old. Anyone that has ever spent time with a crow will know how absurd these myths are and that Crows are no more ‘evil’ or ‘dark’ as depicted in these legends than a canary in a cage.

1. Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
   And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
   Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
   Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things
   You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
   High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there
   I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
   My eager craft through footless halls of air.
   Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
   I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
   Where never lark, or ever eagle flew -
   And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
   The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
   Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
   Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
