I am the
Voice of the Raven
Upon Wind.

My harsh cries echoes long
upon the Earth and Air:

Nothing is Forever,
Not Life,
not Love,
not Death,
nor Loss.

Only change is eternal,
and only destruction can
the seed of creation form.

My wings bear me
between Darkness and Light,
Land and Sky,
the Garden
and the Wildwood.
I perch upon the Threshold of the Worlds,
both flesh
and spirit,
gifting the Brave Seeker
with Visions
and Magic
of the Otherworld.

To face me is to face your greatest terror,
the Shadow of yourself,
the unknown
and dangerous.
In chancing destruction,
your fear loses it's power
to destroy.
For only in acceptance
of mortality
will you learn the ...

Secrets of Immortality
as I,
the Raven,
possess.
