The Raven's Flight

In ancient Celtic times and perhaps long, long before that there were those who possessed the "Raven Knowledge". Roman historians documented Druids wearing cloaks made of bird feathers, known as Tugens.


In Norse Lore, two ravens would accompany Odin as he sat on his throne. Memory and Thought were their names and they were tasked with informing their Lord of all they heard and saw.

To many Native American peoples, the Raven was a trickster, a messenger from beyond, one who possessed secrets cloaked in the midnight black of his wings. His healing was from far beyond.

My Raven journey began on an ancient, cold, windswept hill.
