RAVENS SYMBOLIZE: CREATIVITY, MISCHIEF, MAGIC

Legend credits Raven with releasing the Sun, Moon, and Stars into our world. Raven is also the bringer of water and fish. According to Haida law, Raven discovered mankind in a clam-shell. He carries the power of the unknown, is the guardian of magic, seeker of answers, and the messenger. Full of mystical powers, Raven can transform himself into any form, at will, and loves to tease and trick.
