Raven is considered a mystical and magical creature. It is the guardian of ceremonial magic. Raven is a trickster, a shape shifter…. Raven is also considered a story teller. Raven has been around since the beginning

of time. There are many Native American stories and legends about raven. One such story talks about a great magician stealing the sun, the moon, and the stars, from the earth. The people became sick without heat and light, and they were lonely for the stars and the guidance of the moon. Raven was sent to steal back the sun, moon and stars. He turned himself into a baby and tricked the magician into giving them to him to play with. He then promptly returned them to the people on earth. Raven is revered as a strong animal spirit among many tribes, especially those within the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Canada.
