Mythology of the Raven | In Norse mythology, Odin is depicted as having two ravens "Huginn" and "Muninn" serving as his eyes and ears – huginn meaning "thought" and muninn meaning "memory". At the end of each day, the two ravens return to Odin with news. | In Greek mythology, ravens are associated with Apollo, the god of prophecy. They are said to be a symbol of bad luck, and act as the god's messengers in the mortal world. Originally silvery white, the raven was scorched black by the anger of Apollo after giving him bad news. | In Celtic mythology, the raven straddles the worlds between life and death as a symbol of power and a god. In Irish mythology, the war goddess "Morrigan" sometimes takes the form of a crow or raven foretelling fate, death, or victory in battle. | Figuring prominently in many tales of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the raven is responsible for giving fire to mankind, creating the four seasons, creating the great lakes and rivers, creating light and stars, and aalso acts as a healer/magician. | "The Raven" 22 in x 30 in. Pencil on paper. SOLD Drawing from nature: Canada's boreal forest.

Mythology of the Raven | In Norse mythology, Odin is depicted as having two ravens "Huginn" and "Muninn" serving as his eyes and ears – huginn meaning "thought" and muninn meaning "memory". Each day the ravens fly out across the world and return to Odin with news at the end of the day. | In Greek mythology, ravens are associated with Apollo, the god of prophecy. They are said to be a symbol of bad luck, and were the god's messengers in the mortal world. Originally silvery white, the raven was scorched black by the anger of the sun god Apollo after giving him bad news. | In Celtic mythology, the raven straddles the worlds between life and death as a symbol of power and a god. In Irish mythology, the war goddess "Morrigan" sometimes takes the form of a crow or raven foretelling fate, death, or victory in battle. | Figuring prominently in many tales of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the raven is responsible for finding man, giving fire to mankind, creating the four seasons, creating the great lakes and fresh water rivers, the creator of light and stars, and acts as a healer and magician. | "The Raven" by Jesse Morris 22" x 30" Pencil on paper.
