From Ted Andrews:

The crow is a spirit animal associated with life mysteries and magic. The power of this bird as totem and spirit guide is provide insight and means of supporting intentions. Sign of luck, it is also associated with the archetype of the trickster; be aware of deceiving appearances. If the crow has chosen you as your spirit or totem animal, it supports you in developing the power of sight, transformation, and connection with life’s magic.

Iridescent beauty shimmering shades of indigo and velveteen feathers, Raven is connected to the great mystery of the Universe, where all potential exists, bringing the formless into form. Bringing ideas and dreams into reality. Everything ever created or built was first created in the imagination. To create something one must first go into the realm of possibility - the great sea of cosmic darkness, forming ideas from which your ideas can begin to take shape. Creative potential is the great gift of the Raven. Call upon Raven to tap into the infinite sea of creativity that flows in and through all things. Call upon the Raven to seek messages, signs and confirmations from the Universe.
