Crow Hitting Your Head — What the Texts and Tradition Say
Brihat Samhita doesn't consider a crow striking a person, their head or shadow as lucky — don't panic, just stay mindful for a few days.
Crows often do this to protect a nest or chicks.
The Samhita says a crow circling you or dropping flowers brings respect instead.
Brihat Samhita's general rule reverses omens for women; no separate rule is given for this one.
