Augury

"As you have been told, the Crow or as we call him the Raven, knows when somebody or something has died. Be it a man or a snake, the Crow will know when death has occurred and be filled with happiness. Should the shadow of a Buzzard or a Crow touch you while it is in flight, you will soon die. This is why the feathers of a Crow or a Buzzard should not be touched for they are a deadly and powerful bad medicine which only Shaman's, Witches or Big Medicine men can touch."
