What's in a Name?

Picture
     The Crow's Nest is a platform, simple barrel, or room located at the highest point of a ship. The earliest reference to the Crow's Nest was on olden time, massive ships powered by sail and wind. This location was created for one to perch and have a better view to aid the Captain in navigating the ship. 
     The Crow's Nest has a couple of theories as to why it coined the name. Some believe that the vikings would release a crow from the highest point and watch which way it flew - as of course, it would start heading toward the nearest land. Others believe it simply looked like a Crow's nest on a high branch of a tree.
     The person perched in the Crow's Nest helping the Captain navigate was nicknamed the Barrelman.
Crows have long been associated with mysticism and hold high spiritual connotations. It is one of the most popular spirit animals around the world; a symbol of the magic and mysteries that exist in life.
     Since ancient times it was believed Crows lead humans. It can represent a new phase in your life, intelligence, flexibility, and destiny.
