The Raven

Ravens have a long history of myth and lore associated with them. In some native tribes they are known as the "keeper of secrets."

They hold the teachings of mysticism and magic. Ravens are linked to the void, where universal secrets are stored.

Their inky black color is the color associated with darkness. The darkness is a place where unconscious fears live.

Raven, a master magician, embodies the energy of transformation and shows us how to eliminate our inner demons.

Ravens are the largest songbirds in North America. They are extremely intelligent and are clever mimics.

They incorporate and mimic calls of other species and can teach us how to understand the language of animals.

They have also been known to learn some human words. The raven knows the mystery of life.

There are many stories in native cultures about this illusive black bird.

Shamans know the power of an unexpected piercing sound in altering consciousness.

Ravens exercise this power, emitting a variety of sounds and can aid us in shifting our consciousness into various dimensional realms.

This is one reason why the raven is known as a shape shifter with magical powers.

Anyone with raven as a totem can expect continual changes and spiritual awakenings throughout their life.

Raven picks its students according to their accumulated wisdom.

It flies into a persons life carrying the energy of magic and healing.

If it decides to settle in and take up residence, it will stay as long as necessary to aid you in transmuting your karma then return you to the light.

It will push, prod, and lead you into the discovery of your multidimensional self and reunite you with the secrets of the multidimensional universe.

Those with this totem should remember to meet raven, not with fear, but rather with an appreciation for the teachings that it holds.
