Ravens have been viewed as spiritual symbols by many cultures throughout history. In many Native American cultures, ravens are considered messengers of the spirits, connecting the physical world with the spiritual world. They are also associated with creation, transformation, and magic. In Celtic mythology, ravens are associated with the goddess Morrigan, a powerful goddess of war and death.
In Germanic folklore, ravens have been associated with the figure of the trickster, who uses wit and cunning to achieve their goals. They are also associated with the idea of the shadow self, representing the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden or repressed.
