 Ravens and Crows represent magick, mystery,
and sacred law as well as battle, and the mysteries of the Crone and Matron
(warrior goddess). A gathering of ravens is called an "unkindness"while
a group of crows is a "murder". They are highly intelligent
birds, and have been known to follow armies for many miles. In Native
American Myth, Raven is a Creator/Trickster god. In Celtic lore, the raven
is sacred to Badb (whose name means "Battle Crow"and the Morrigan
as well as Bran and Lugh. In Greek lore it is sacred to Hecate, and Apollo
among others. In Norse tradition,, the two ravens that sit on the shoulders
of Odin are called Huginn and Muninn (Mind and Memory). As guardians through
the cycle of death and rebirth, the scintillating rainbow colors in their
dark wings remind us that even in the midst of darkness we have the power
to touch the light.
