Raven

The creator, transformer, and trickster. He is mischievous and playful, symbolizing truth, knowledge, and transformation. Raven demonstrates the complexity of nature, and reminds us that not everyone sees the world in the same way. While a trickster, in many myths he is an aid to the creator, acting as the messenger from the sky, clarifying truths for the people, earning him the name “keeper of secrets”. In mythology the Raven released the sun and moon into the sky and discovered mankind in a clamshell.

Eagle

A symbol of power, prestige and wisdom. The Eagle is believed to have the greatest connection to the creator and sends messages from the people to the spiritual world. It is a symbol of peace and leadership, the sacred down represents friendship and its feathers are used for ceremonies and rituals.

Carnelian

The name Carnelian is derived from the Latin word meaning flesh. A stone for courage, it is said to aid in motivation, endurance and leadership. It lends the courage to defend a cause, promoting idealism and aiding you in overcoming difficulties. Said to aid in calming negative emotions of anger, envy and jealousy, helping you to make positive life choices. It is a good stone to wear for public speaking, as it strengthens a weak voice.
