According to Native American legend it was Raven, the transformer, who assisted
the Great Spirit in creating the world. Full of mystical powers, Raven could
transform himself into any form at will. He loved to tease and trick. In other
legends the raven represents prophesy and insight, often connecting the material
world with the world of spirits. Whatever you believe about ravens, they are
incredibly intelligent birds. Watching one for a while makes it easy to see how
the many legends arose.
