Two cultures view these beautiful, and mysterious black birds entirely differently. Native North Americans have seen ravens as bringers of light and are the foundation of their creation stories. In many European cultures, they are thought to be malevolent heralds of death.

In Welsh folklore, sorcerers and witches were thought to be able to transform themselves into ravens so they could take flight and evade capture and punishment over evil spells they may have cast. To the peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the raven is a trickster and creator.

In many stories, the raven is the founder of the world who stole light from the Sun. Zuzana Starovecká (Canadian North) writes that the raven taught people “to take care of themselves, make clothes, canoes, and houses. He also brought vegetation, animals, and other benefits for the human kind.” And, ravens were believed to have picked up salmon and to have then dropped them in rivers all over the world.

Materials: Sterling silver.
