Raven spirit | Expect the unexpected.
Raven has long been known as the magical bird—the one who carries our messages and our prayers to spirit. Raven has been called a shape-shifter, and his message to you today is one of change—expect the unexpected, but know that Raven is flying close and will help you transform life’s challenges into life’s greatest blessings.
Raven represents prophecy, higher intuition, and intelligence. Because of their dark appearance, ravens are often misunderstood and are symbolized as bad omens, but when it comes to their true nature, these spirit animals become manifestations of strong spiritual power and clairvoyance.
Raven spirit plays some type of role of mediator between unknown realms and their host. Their energy shapeshifts into different forms and it allows them to access higher frequencies. Raven spirit guides you through transformative periods of your life, it gives you the energy to foresee potential changes and helps you to rationally assess meaningful events. Raven spirit also symbolizes psychic abilities. They have the ability to recognize different energies in an instant, as they are sensitive to different vibrations. This will give them the upper hand to assess their surroundings accordingly and leave toxic environments behind. During a lifetime each of us has to go through some type of metamorphosis, whether it is changing career path, moving on to the next relationship, cutting ties with unwanted experiences… Raven spirit gives you the inner strength to move forward and deeply understand what your soul really craves.
Ravens symbolize divine power and the ability to interpret the future at ease. Their nature is very complex and they possess different traits, such as:
Versatility
Mindfulness
Mysticity
Prophecy
Independency
Sturdiness
Flexibility
Intelligence

Even though they tend to prefer quiet places and solitude, people with the raven spirit animal are very flexible to merge into unknown environments. Their trait of adjustability comes from the intelligence they possess. Having knowledge of how to act in different settings and receive the best out of their involvement in different circumstances, gives people with this totem upper hand to be perceived as diplomats. They know how to deliver the right words in the right context, so they can benefit from any type of situation. Prophecy is a gift that people with the raven spirit animal have. They have the natural ability to intuitively guess the outcomes and choose the right path to achieve goals set in their career or personal life. Once you manage to “activate” your raven spirit, it will guide you through the most intense crossroads of your life. Raven spirit animal embodies independence. Even though ravens are very flexible and open characters, they prefer independence more than anything. Their craving for freedom overshadows the need to mix in with groups of people. Raven spirit doesn’t like when they have to be dependent on someone and don’t have autonomy of free will. They do their best not to engage with toxic personalities, as they find emotional attachments unfulfilling and draining.
