Throughout history, the raven has come to symbolize
gratitude, affection, guidance, wisdom, hope, magic, and
change. The raven can be a sign of rebirth as well as death.

In May of 2003 via Brookline, my messenger arrived. My four-

My “Raven” has been truly magical and medicinal. I have come to understand life clearly through the messages my “Raven” has
brought. When I wake with him curled up beside me, I thank whoever sent him for the comfort he provides. When I walk through the
door and he scrambles for his Frisbee, I forget about trivial daily matters. If I cry, he wines and circles around me, I know I am not
