The Raven is the
great transformer-trickster who is responsible for the creation/transformation
of the world.
Because of his great
polymorph/shape
change abilities he can appear in virtually any form he chooses. <e?>
In addition to a
raven, he may also appear as a fox, a jay or the moon.
He will fight only
as a last resort and then only as a giant raven.
Although known as
the great provider for mankind (including the giving of
fire) the raven
loves to play tricks usually for the purpose of obtaining
food to satisfy
his ravenous appetite.
He io most likely
to intervene on the behalf of his worshipers when they are in need of necessities.
The most successful
way to appeal to him is by offerings of food.
American Indian Mythos | - | - | - | DDG |
Very early versions referred to Raven as a trickster, the god of fucking
up white people.
Don't get me wrong: I am white and I Love white people (mostly the women
and the food).
The artistic license is misunderstood without the context of a trickster
god.
I wouldn't do the same thing today, but I left the history here as an example
of a mistake I made when I was younger.
AD&D is a Game, and it shouldn't be a soapbox for politics and maybe
even recent history. The RCMP, backed by the
Canadian government attempted to carry out what I see as spiritual genocide.
So I look Raven in the eye, and I don't
worry about cultural appropriation too much here. Ha! Knowing my luck,
some trcikster is really going to fuck me up later on today.
Me, I think I'll live and maybe even get a chuckle out of it. By including
a bit of history of the First Apocalypse, the theory and Hope
is that things will work out to the advantage of the First Nations of Canada,
and, to the Tribes of the United States of America.
Now it is Time for me to go. FUCK! Who stole my salmon! I had a big salmon
steak, and Now it is gone. AARRRGHH!
