The Raven is generally thought to be a symbol of sadness, loss and death in most European countries. It is believed by some cultures to be a symbol of impending death! It is believed to be able to smell death before it occurs. Many Christians in the United States believe that the raven is a symbol of Satan and the bearer of bad luck (the raven is mentioned several times in the bible). However, the Raven bird has a completely different symbolic meaning in other cultures; the ancient Greeks believed that the raven was a messenger bird of the god Apollo and the Inuit's (Eskimo's) have a creator god called the Raven Father. Native Americans consider the Raven to be a magical symbol. Native American mythology tells us that the earth was created by a raven that dropped stones into the sea which created the islands.
