RAVEN
Listen to your intuition to receive a message from the World of Spirit


Appearance:
On this card, Raven appears to be pondering something deeply. He appears to be sitting on a tree root or fallen tree limb. Perhaps Raven is meditating. To me, this card gives off a feeling of mystery, and a tiny bit of creepiness. However, I have always loved creepy things, so the card being sort of strange-looking isn't necessarily a bad thing.

First Impressions:
When I first looked at this card, it seemed almost boring to me. Actually, it seemed boring to me for a while, until I realized that this card is actually not boring, but is instead calming.

Intuitive Meaning:
In order to me more connected with the Spirit World, I must first be connected with myself. How am I supposed to love and listen to others (the Spirit World) if I cannot love and listen to myself? I think that this card means that if I use my intuition, then I will be able to connect more strongly with the World of Spirit.

Book Meaning in a Nutshell:
I must listen for Raven's cry, because he may be alerting me to something important, such as a message from the World of Spirit.
