FINDINGS
Just a normal day, walking to the bus stop... and I come across this feather. Plodding along, thinking 'yes, oooh, a very unusual and pretty feather... but don't pick it up Jay. No, don't do it... that's weird. Just leave it... No. Put it down... Oh.' and I picked it up and put it in my sketchbook.
As soon as I got home I looked in my bird book and LO, BEHOLD! IT'S A JAY FEATHER.
Now, I've never seen a Jay before.
And they're pretty uncommon around here. They're not easy to spot, so a feather is an unusual find.
AND IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE. FOR ME TO FIND. Me. Jay. Jay found the Jay feather.
If this isn't a sign for me to run with Poe then I don't know what is.
Honestly.
It's fate.
It's so beautiful. When searching it online, the internet throws all these sites at me about 'shamanistic meanings'. Apparently there's a lot of mystique and folklore around crows and crow feathers.

Thinking of crows, I'm reminded of Knaresborough and the RAVEN LADY there. She stands by the castle with some huge ravens and tells stories about them. Perhaps I'll go and visit them!
