Ravens and crows are perhaps the most featured birds in all mythology and folklore. Being widespread across the world, beautiful and otherworldly in appearance, and incredibly intelligent creatures have granted these corvids a number of roles in the stories of peoples. From omens of good fortune or omens of death, to companions of the gods such as the Norse Odin or the Celtic Morrigan, to the trickster tales of Native American folklore!
