Throughout time, Raven has carried the medicine of magic. This has been true in many cultures across the planet. It is sacred in the medicine ways to honor Raven as the bringer of magic. If the magic is bad medicine, the carrier maybe honored out of fear rather than out of respect. Those who fear Raven may do so because they have been dabbling in areas in which they had no knowledge and a spell may have backfired on them. Rather than analyzing the dark side of sorcery, realize that you will fear Raven only if you need to learn about your inner fears or self created demons.
Raven is the messenger of the void. The void is called the Great Mystery that existed before all other things came into being. If Raven appears in your spread, you are about to experience a change in consciousness. This may involve walking inside the Great Mystery or another path at the edge of time. It would portend a signal brought about by the Raven that says "You have earned the right to see and experience a little more of life's magic".
Raven is the guardian of ceremonial magic and in absentia healing. Raven guides the magic of healing and brings in the new state of wellness from the Void of Great Mystery and the field of plenty. If a ceremony is being performed to send energy to a disaster area where people need courage and strength, Raven would be the courier for that energy flow.
If you have chosen Raven, magic is in the air. It is the power of the unknown at work, and something special is about to happen. It maybe time to call Raven as a courier to carry an intention, some healing energy, a thought, or a message. Raven is the patron of smoke signals or spirit messages represented by smoke. To contact the Ancients to the Blue Road of Spirit, call Raven... or who knows, the Ancient may be calling to you. Remember, this magic moment came from the void of darkness, and the challenge is to bring it to light. In doing so you will be honored the magician within.
