The Raven – Death (part 4)

July 3, 2011

There is a poem called “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe. I made an anthology with the poem in it, and placed a Raven on the front page, but never gave it much thought. It looked cool but was around the time when I was obsessed with the movie The Crow (featuring Brandon Lee).

The Raven – A Messenger (part 3)

July 1, 2011

There have been many stories of Raven being a messenger of some sort. In the Christian-Judeo communities, it was labelled “ill-fated” for bringing messages or omens of impending death. However, in the Bible (Genesis, Chapter 8: 6-13 of the Old Testament), Noah sends out two birds (one being a Raven) to scout the Earth for dry land.

The Raven: An Introduction

June 26, 2011

The following series will focus on the magnificent Raven, which recently made itself known to me through my dreams.

So you’ve spent a long time searching for your animal guide, and now you have found one on a totem. Where do you go from here? Well, you can spend time meditating and building your relationship with your guide, but how do you identify with it? The first step is usually to give it a name. Sounds relatively easy, but is it?

The decision to give it to her arrived in a millisecond, I recognised that it was indeed the time for that crystal to move on. Its mission in my life had been to create that very moment, that gifting. I felt no pang of parting, but the serenity of doing the right thing without judgement or expectation.

Sometimes events put you out of your comfort zone. Or you choose that experience, such as doing training in new knowledge and skills. This is the spiritual equivalent of putting your underwear on inside out. A spiritual warrior, or warrioress, is not afraid to be vulnerable because that state of vulnerability immediately precedes action. It is a state of heightened awareness, it is taking the spear and hunting the leopard naked, as you did in your first initiation hunt.
