My husband isn't very fond of magpies but I think they're beautiful.  Yes, I realize that they are scavengers, but isn't that a good thing?  Cleaning up constantly.  They are a corvid, in the same family as crows which is probably a huge reason why I love them.  And their distinct colours are so lovely when they spread their wings to fly.

As a totem animal magpie represents intelligence and asks us to trust our intuition.  They are also known as a jack of all trades which also means that they may be a master of none warning us to focus.  Remembering that patience, time and experience are the stepping stones to success.  In the words of Charles de Lint, "Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories you have to tell."
