Sacred Art-Raven and Crow/Feather Mobiles

Ravens and crows (corvids) have long been associated with the dark and mysterious. Nephthys, The Morrigan, Baba Yaga and many other dark goddesses carry Raven as one of their symbols or forms. These birds are wickedly intelligent, curious and brazen. 

In this class we will work with Raven and Crow. Discussing their symbolism, poetry and art. Corvids are plentiful and powerful in all cultures and carry very similar messages around the world. While we talk, we will make stunning twig mobiles dripping with English crow feathers beads and other amulets appropriate to your personal work with Raven.

“And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

    And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,

    And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

            Shall be lifted—nevermore!”

From The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
