In recent times, the crow became known as “The Scientist of the Sky” due to its ability to find creative solutions to complex problems as does the main protagonist, Ana. The crow also suggests a “higher perspective” or “sharp-eyed awareness”. In Chinese and Japanese mythologies, the crow symbolizes guidance as the feminine sun and divine intervention with the image of a three-legged crow, Yatagarasu. Further, the three legs represent heaven, earth, and humanity to reflect convergence between the divine and mortal.

Another mythology comes from Oden’s two ravens (covid cousin to the crow). In the Norse language, their names are “Thought” (Huginn) and “Memory” (Muninn), symbolizing the power of mind. It is likely to mean that the birds are transmitters of Oden to beings who are capable of being receivers.

Even the MIT Technology Review has designed an ad, using the Crow, as noted below.

The author used a version of her book cover for promotional purposes. Note the background, generated by AI as noted below:

In the foreground of crow is the ancient Endless Knot. According to former Reddit blogger, TheHearofTuxes, “The symbol has a linear nature, a segmented nature, and a complete nature. As a whole symbol, it represents all manifestations, the whole universe of universes. From the view of the whole, the weaving lines take the character of vibrancy, insignificant in themselves, but enlivening the whole image with an energetic current…”, forming multi-dimentional rhythm and adding profound interrelationship with the repeating areas defined by the lines. The knots serve as archetypes and are deeply rooted in our consciousness. Even a Crow Knows How to Crack a Walnut in Clear Light deals with this as the main protagonist, Ana, engages in wanderlust and wonderlust.
