Ravens have a close affinity with the supernatural world. They are totem birds of the Celtic goddess, the Badbh and the Morrigan. Ravens are birds of omen - used by Irish druids in augury. Possessing oracular powers, the distinctive harsh voice of the raven prophesied the future and the outcome of battles. The bright-eyed raven is also blessed with clear vision, and is wise in the mysteries of rebirth and healing.
