The raven is one of the most mysterious birds, attributed to both positive and negative qualities. The raven is often found in ancient myths, is a character in fairy tales and legends.
The symbolism of the raven is due to two points: its black color and a sharp cry. Since the raven feeds on carrion, it is associated with the kingdom of the dead and with the earth, but at the same time also with the sky. Therefore, the raven is endowed with the function of an intermediary between the three worlds and wisdom, and the ability to foresee is attributed to him.
It belongs to the element of air, which is closely related to developed spirituality, high intelligence.
The path of the raven is the path of a loner, an outside observer. Collectivization and attachment to material goods are alien to it.
Scandinavian legends describe how a raven is sent to explore new lands because there are no other birds besides him, capable of long flight over long distances, having sharp eyesight, caution, and ingenuity. Only such a smart and strong bird can get the necessary secret and not confuse anything. In old Irish legends, the raven predicts the future, and the term “knowledge of the raven”, preserved in the Irish language, means the ability to see and know everything that happens. Among the Vikings, the raven was a symbol of struggle and victory.
Almost all peoples had a special attitude towards the raven. Some revered him, others were afraid, but few remained indifferent. This is not surprising - a large strong bird, black as the night itself, one of the most intelligent and quick-witted. No wonder the raven is a symbol of wisdom.
The names of the ravens are sometimes modernly anglicized as Hugin and Munin.
The raven is a common iconic figure in Norse mythology. The god Odin had two ravens named Huginn and Muninn "thought" and "memory" respectively who flew around the world bringing back tidings to their master. Therefore, one of Odin's many names was the Raven god
Odin was also closely linked to ravens because in Norse myths he received the fallen warriors at Valhalla, and ravens were linked with death and war due to their predilection for carrion. It is consequently likely that they were regarded as manifestations of the Valkyries, goodes who chose the valiant dead for military service in Valhalla. A further connection between ravens and Valkyries was indicated in the shapeshifting abilities of goddesses and Valkyries, who could appear in the form of birds.
