The Common Grackle is anything but common. When I see a yard full of grackles, I know for sure the seasons are surely changing: winter to spring, fall to winter. An augury I've followed all my life. Yesterday I watched a field of them singing - a sure sign of spring. ๐Ÿ’š #FolkloreSunday #augury

We should have stopped
and heeded the foreboding
#augury prophesies
of the ancient sages

Not to mention
the skulls and bones
that littered the way
were a telling indication
that doom awaited
those foolish enough to traverse
this hazardous path
we could have easily bypassed
if we weren't so damn arrogant

The Ancient Order of #Augury Oracles
convenes monthly in the basement
of a New Jersey Bakery
to discuss old and new business

All the latest soothsayer craft upgrades
are demonstrated regularly
with an eye toward practical application
in a world where knowledge
of tomorrow is power

A lot of religious practices seem kind of silly, but taking the auspices makes sense. #Birds are hyper aware, and they are in such a great position to observe us, they clearly know what's going on.

The most common auguries in ancient Rome were predicting the future through birds. Oscines (ravens, crows, owls, hens) gave auspices via their singing while alites (eagles, vultures) gave auspices via their flying. The black woodpecker was both an oscine and an alite.
