I've been seeing a couple myself.. Could just be normal birds for the area.
The Raven
Ravens have a long history of myth and lore associated
with them. In some native tribes they are known as the "keeper of secrets."
They hold the teachings of mysticism and magic. Ravens are linked to the
void, where universal secrets are stored. Their inky black color is the color
associated with darkness. The darkness is a place where unconscious fears
live. Raven, a master magician, embodies the energy of transformation and
shows us how to eliminate our inner demons.
Ravens are the largest songbirds in North America.
They are extremely intelligent and are clever mimics. They incorporate and
mimic calls of other species and can teach us how to understand the language
of animals. They have also been known to learn some human words.
The raven knows the mystery of life. They have an
intimate association with death and rebirth. Because raven would feed on
the corpses of the dead hanging on the gallons, early European settlers feared
this bird and considered it to be an ill omen. In truth, however, raven
should be respected not feared.
There are many stories in native cultures about this
illusive black bird. Shamans know the power of an unexpected piercing sound
in altering consciousness. Ravens exercise this power, emitting a variety
of sounds and can aid us in shifting our consciousness into various dimensional
realms. This is one reason why the raven is known as a shape shifter with
magical powers. Anyone with raven as a totem can expect continual
changes and spiritual awakenings throughout their life.
Raven picks its students according to their accumulated
wisdom. It flies into a persons life carrying the energy of magic and healing.
If it decides to settle in and take up residence, it will stay as long as
necessary to aid you in transmuting your karma then return you to the light.
It will push, prod, and lead you into the discovery of your multidimensional
self and reunite you with the secrets of the multidimensional universe. Those
with this totem should remember to meet raven, not with fear, but rather
with an appreciation for the teachings that it holds.
