The psychology, symbolism and cultural history of Raven.
In Western cultures, Raven signifies transformation and change, often linked to the mystical and the unknown. Conversely, in some Indigenous cultures, the raven is viewed as a creator or a trickster, embodying both wisdom and deception.
The term 'raven' derives from the Old English 'hræfn', used since at least the 8th century. Historically, the bird has been significant in various mythologies, including Norse mythology where Odin, the Allfather, is often accompanied by two ravens named Huginn and Muninn, representing thought and memory.
