The Raven: Creation & Knowledge - Bringer of the Light and Magic, the raven is one of the most prominent figures of the North West Coast first peoples. The Raven is credited with giving the light, fire, and water to mankind. The Raven is the transformer, trickster and creator. He had the power to change at will into an animal form or to that of a human being. The Raven is known in legends as the one who released the sun, moon, and stars; discovered man in a clamshell; brought the salmon and the water; and taught man how to fish and hunt. His creation of the new by amalgamation of things he has "stolen", makes him a fitting symbol of quantum gravity and emergent gravity and an ispiration in our quest.
