Crow

Searched as a spirit animal, but assigned to no date range in either calendar.

Which calendar assigns it, and when

Date range none — not in either calendar

This animal is searched as a symbol rather than as a birth-date assignment. Neither calendar covers it, so any site giving you dates for it has invented them.

What it stands for, and where that came from

Watchfulness and a memory that does not let go.

Honoured in: Ominous across most of Europe; in Japan the three-legged crow Yatagarasu is a divine guide and appears on the national football badge.

The animal itself

Crows make and use tools, drop nuts on roads for cars to crack, and teach the identity of dangerous humans to their young — the grudge outlives the bird that formed it.

The symbolism usually grew out of the behaviour rather than the other way round — which is the part worth keeping when the rest is set aside.
