He told it? Whispered sights into the ear of Odin. From across the world he flew, aisy osying over land and mountain, through storm and fast floods. Keen from the eating of eyes, his magic, black as his pupils and sleek feathers. Bran arrives from gloaming dreams into our days, gliding into our souls. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, ring out the old, ring in the new,ring out the false, ring in the true..A Lord Tennyson |

I love ravens. They can be such mysterious characters, always carrying some dark secrets 'neath their wings. In Norse mythology, Odin had two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who flew out nightly to gather information. Celtic lore has Morrigan, Bran, and Lugh. Many Native Americans revere this feathered trickster. My first 'encounter' with ravens was via Poe. Sorry for the ramble... |

seems a blending of Norse and Celtic mythology? interesting! my favorite painting [Germanic impressionism] is the "Krahe"...the grand enigmatic raven (wearing boots) marching across seemingly endless, barren, winteresque fields! ~ |

Oh I do like the way his magic is as black as his feathers. That's a gleamy black, to be sure. Nicely done. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
