my dear friend, the raven,
has a certain kind of MAGICK
dressed in black from head to tail,
has a flair for the dramatic
such a sooty bird is he,
flying fast on graceful wingbeats
watch him dive across the sky
an aerial acrobat and artful spy
fills the blue with an echoing croak
he’s a brilliant trickster under cloak
see him vividly in my dreams,
casting charms as i sleep
bringing change and ancient wisdom
reminds me of all i am to become

I adore this!! I’m a huge fan of Raven. We live with a lively and expanding family here. And I, too, see them in my dreams. They’re highly social, kind, wise, and they have a type of language, which includes names for individuals. I wrote a story based on this idea, about their cousins, the Steller’s jays: https://camillawellspaynter.wordpress.com/2024/03/27/miknoots-magic/
