Ravens have appeared in the myths and legends of many cultures, from ancient to present day. To some it has been seen as an omen of ill-fortune. To others it is a symbol of wisdom. In some legends the bird is described in godly terms, as a companion, messenger or even embodiment of a deity.

May I request a video covering chi/ki, Reiki, Qigong, Prana, etc? The topic ranges from medical peer review research, martial arts, even Jesus Christ learning how to heal in India. Its an intense conversation.
I came across Valravns a while back and I've had trouble finding sources or stories that talk about them. I want to include them in a novel I'm working on. Any info would be helpful, cheers!
Amazing,, amazing
Do you have amino app? It's great for community
🌿👀 Beautiful video, thank you. I'm sharing this with my crow/raven friends. ^v^💞
I live in the Pacific Northwest, where the Raven was regarded as a trickster, neither hero nor villain. The native people tell us that Raven brought fire, water, and the sun to the world. I’ve always loved ravens, so to hear about their place in other mythologies was really interesting.
The raven has always brought to my mind The Morrigan. The Irish/Celtic Goddess often associated with victory in battle. Not to mention Edgar Allan Poe which goes without saying. Love Ravens!!!
Ravens and Crows are extremely smart birds and my grandparents house had several Ravens living around them. They were very interested in what we would do around the back yard. They seemed to enjoy human interaction and would bring shiny trinkets to my grandmother and leave them on her kitchen windowsill. Some ended up being actual rings and jewelry. Who knows where they got these items from? But every week there would be something there and they would watch her go outside and retrieve it. She always acknowledged them and would leave something as a treat for them like birdseed or some other type of food. These were smart creatures and if you were kind to them they would show their appreciation.
They’re not evil, In fact they’re beautiful and highly intelligent!
Yes, another video from The Paranormal Scholar! You guys always have such interesting and new paranormal topics, instead of rehashing the same old recycled paranormal material, I find on the Internet. Thanks for making my Friday morning.
I like those paranormal stuff.. the more the merrier
You are very welcome. Thank you, and best wishes to you and yours.

I like the paranormal too. I just don’t want to hear about the same stories, over and over again.
So that's why Bran is the 3-eyed raven. It was in his name all along.
I just had the same realization. Gotta love GRRM.
I can't wait until the New season..Why can't I have that for Christmas?!
@@MrUnderdog-vn3zf be carefull what you wish for
Cause it's a tv show

hey yous guys!...Ravens are one of my favorite birds they are very smart and have a lot of personality
Love Ravens too
Me too!
I'm confused. I love crows and ravens and I just found out that my brother lied to me when I was a kid. I'd seen a raven sitting on a powerline with some much smaller crows, but when I told my brother, he said that was impossible, since ravens were extinct where we lived. I checked Wikipedia just now and... nope, ravens are just really big types of crows, and they're almost everywhere. WTF, bro?
I read 2 stories in Native folklore.1st, the Raven was white, the earth was in darkness , the raven flew into the sky & retrieved the sun, the ravens feathers were burnt. 2nd, is there was a time when the raven told the native people to go down into the caves of the southwest, or just go below ground , they stayed there for a long time. Not until the raven came out, was it safe.
I'm not joking when I say that when I heard that the ravens were given biscuits as a treat I put my hand over my heart and smiled, then when I heard "soaked in blood" I gasped and started cracking up, it's such a sweet idea with such a gruesome detail. I wonder what qualifies for a treat day, maybe holidays?
Perfect with my morning CAWffee. ☕💕
..I'm sorry I'm like this.
Agreed ☕
lmao
i like hot CAWCAW x3 (cacao)

for a second, I thought that said, " I like hot CAWK." pls forgive me
@@sauriel596 10/10 😂
I must say, this video was most informative. It's always a delight to learn something about one of my favourite species of bird, as we have three of them flying about the neighborhood often. Thank you so much, Laura! :-)
You are always welcome, Neil. Have a wonderful weekend.
They're smart, and friendly in my experience. I like feeding them when their migration patterns bring them near my home.
I had a raven friend in my neighborhood as a child who could speak,he said hi!i’m Mike
Your friend must have been a blackbird, ravens/crows don't have the ability to repeat words - tales saying ravens spoke are myths or folklore stories. :)
@@LucienSabre actually they do ever heard of julien the raven
@@mijaroprime9509 Are you sure it’s a crow and not a blackbird?
@@LucienSabre nope it's a raven
@@LucienSabre crows don't mimic sounds. Ravens do
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
Thus I scarce was sure I heard you, here I opened wide the door,
Darkness there and nothing more.....
Nevermore!!!!!
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,
fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, 'Lenore!'-
Merely this, and nothing more.
I really loved this video. I'd also like to add that ravens have also been associated with fire and the sun. Here are a couple of examples:
- In Native American myths, Raven is a trickster who stole the Sun and fire and gave it to the world. However, when carrying fire in his bill, the smoke from the fire blew back and turned his feathers black. His bill began to burn, so Raven had to drop the fire. It landed in a pile of rocks and hid itself inside them. They say this is why sparks of fire drop out when you strike two stones together.
- In the myths of East Asia, there is a creature called the 3-Legged Crow, which is believed to inhabit and represent the Sun. Adding to this, in one Chinese myth, 10 sun crows settled in 10 separate suns. They all rose in the sky at once, causing the world to burn. A celestial archer named Houyi saved the day by shooting down and killing all but one of the sun crows.
I know I said crows in that second example, but I think that, due to their similarities, crows and ravens are often used interchangeably in myths.
Very interesting video. I love ravens. They are such beautiful and intelligent beings. 💗
Wow.. this is amazing and I learned so much about these beautiful birds 💙 Please continue to do mythological videos on animals.
Great and well resarched subject and keep up the great work The Paranormal Scholar
Lovely video! I relate to the raven on many levels but the one that sticks out the most to me is how misunderstood and miss taken ravens are. Thank you!
I was driving down the highway to work one day 4 years ago. A Raven flew down from the sky, landed on the right shoulder, stared directly at me and spread it's wings.... If anybody knows exactly what kind of omen that is please share
It's not an omen, it is a recognition of your ability to see. Ravens seem attracted to those who can sense the dead. Forget all the Christian demonization of old myths, the raven has great wisdom that accepts death as a part of life. You have a gift, so think back on your life and instances where you knew things, felt things or experienced something others did not. Being connected to all of life and death is the way to wisdom.
Never be afraid, the church wanted people to be afraid of wisdom so they could be controlled. There is nothing to fear.
@@christineparis5607 Thank you very much for dat response . I realized for years now I have special talents that nobody could explain to me. I Kno I have clairvoyance for sure I'm always having dreams of things that really happen 🤷 but thank you again for the intelligent and very accurate answer 🙏
@@tbleadon
You have a very unique gift, I think when you begin to trust it more the blocks in your way will vanish and your whole world will expand. You are obviously sensed by the natural world and its creatures. A connection of great power.
I believe you are a true visionary. Trust yourself. You will not walk the path alone.
@@christineparis5607 Nowhere in the Bible is the raven demonized. It's people that like to spin yarns.
@@MrUnderdog-vn3zf
That is true.
I have french/Indian blood, and have always wanted a tattoo of ravens, even before I ever knew anything about them. I've waited a long time and have been visited by two huge ravens since I was a kid. They have shown up wherever I have lived. I always love to see them. I actually saw them again a few days ago, wheeling over my head while I walked my dogs. Always two really large birds.
What a coincidence I also have French (My last name is French) and A LOT of Indian blood in me my grandma was half Indian I'm mixed with French, Indian, and African American. Of all pple to reach out to me lol what are the chances?
Grandpa*
@@tbleadon
We must be related! My grandmother fell in love with a tribe member from a reservation somewhere near Dallas around 1923, and had my mom. It was an open secret, I've never seen anyone look more like a central casting Indian in my life, my mom had straight black hair, black eyes and very high cheek bones and a hawk nose. She had an absolutely ferocious temper that no one, especially my dad, ever wanted to rouse. She taught me a lot about nature, dowsing, "talking" over long distances, and she could attract any wild bird to light on her hands. She died a long time ago, but we still have a connection....
@@christineparis5607 Wow I'm sorry for your loss 🙏 I'm blessed my mom and my grandmothers on both sides are still alive right now. But to be able to call wild birds to her at will she was definitely closer to nature than anyone I've ever met. I meditate a lot trying to master my third eye. I believe most Indians like your mother have their third eye and other Chakras naturally open at a young age
Thank you so much for this video. I think ravens are one of the more beautiful and intelligent birds around. Very much enjoyed!
Thanks for a good video on the mighty and beautiful Raven: I have one critical comment: some of the birds you have chosen to show are ROOKs: the ones with bare beaks are rooks, where ravens have bearded beaks...
Thank you so much for this video!!
In my old comment, i told about the Ravens and the death of some of my family members and people close to me.
(Was the video about the grim reaper, i think).
Like you spoke about it in around 7:31.
They all came true.
This make it for me very personal and i love your documentary episode.
So thanks again!! 😊👍💛
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore" Edgar Allan Poe
Nevermore!!!!!!
Kawwwwww!!!!
This 11 mins mini documentary contains as much or even more than most 1hr 'specials'.
GREAT WORK.
Weird how in some circles Ravens are considered a bad omen and in some cases a good one! That is very interesting about how in England they keep some royal ones. Well done Paranormal Scholar! 😊❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Marla. Best wishes!
@@TheParanormalScholar you are welcome! You come up with the most fascinating stories! 😊❤️❤️❤️
Perfect timing
Another amazing video! I love Ravens. I actually have a tattoo of Hugin and Munin on my left arm. The first I ever got. As you said, they are Odins' birds. Flying around the nine worlds and keeping him informed. In old norse Hugin means 'thought' and Munin means 'memory'. There is also something called a 'valravn'. A man turned into a raven feasting on the dead on the battlefield. He can only be turned back into human form if he drinks the blod of a boy.
Scholar yet another beautiful vid, you are the best night listening. Ravens freak me out. I once came across a conspiracy of them in Amsterdamsbos on a bike on my own at dusk and they wouldn't get out of the way, as if to say turn back boy
So happy I found this video and channel
Supporting this big time! Thank you so much
This is one of my favorites so far. Good work!
Love them, they were "accompanying " all the way from Tampa to Louisiana, so cute, one even pose itself in my last stop at a Denny's and started making this particular noise that sounded like 🎶🎶🎶 nahh, nahh..nahh, nahh..🎶🎶 I was like, oh my! Wow! I never expected this big raven was going to be there, at the very top of the sign of the restaurant, making sure, I saw him before I entered the place.
Wow, that was awesome hearing the Inuit myth as it is my background. They are intelligent as they mourne a fellows death and do a ritual. They speak or make sounds over 2000 ways, warning others and able to use tools. Thank you TPS! 🍎
Here in Australia, ravens were brought here by colonial England from the tower of London so they were transported to ! But from those few pairs came millions all over Australia apart from pecking out the eyes of new born lamb, and then they have to put down the little lambs , but these ravens and crows are a very intelligent bird able to work out some very complex things for instance putting wall nuts and macadamia nuts on country rds for cars to run over and crack open then retrieving the open nuts, rewarding people with small gifts ie clothes pegs straws etc when given food and my mum use to feed the ravens with mince and every day the neighbours pegs were on the windows sil , so thier very cunning and smart cheers laura thankyou for a top story .
Great video. I thought for sure you would mention The Morrigan.
Yes more stuff about Ravens.
FASCINATING !!!!!!🖖
Thanks for watching.
Another new documentary! I can wait to dive into this one. The topic sounds intriguing and right up my alley!
I hope you enjoyed. Best wishes.
Thought and memory
I subscribed few days ago, love ur voice n narration!.. Bdw.. Are u British ???
What an amazing documentary! I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to keep us all entertained
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching.
Very interesting video. In Colombia, for the muisca, the ravens created the sky :D
This channel is informative, spooky and relaxing. Thank you.
Ravens (and crows) are amazing cratures. Extremely smart (in the top five!) and they love to troll, steal and make mischief as well as brings gifts to people they like, sometimes actually putting some effort into making them. What's not to love?
Extremely interesting! Please make more videos about myths and traditions surrounding animals.
What an astounding video 😲
I love crows and ravens, very intelligent. Thanks for this👍
Beautiful birds and so intelligent. I only get crows near me but lots and just as beautiful as ravens. Corvids are all stunning 😍
They're intellingent and amusing. After a morning rain, a raven was playing in a puddle outside my house. It was hopping and splashing and chattering happily. It made the funniest noises, too. When another raven came by, the first would chase it away and go back to playing 😊
3:33 lol im here cuz i was meditating and after i felt like discovering the meaning of my name
Wonderful - I love ravens, though to be fair, I love all birds, though Corvids are particularly fascinating.
I used to see an impressively large raven in woodland near me - a magnificent, very knowing bird - it used to stand just off a path, silently observing people passing by - funnily enough there is a beautiful building within yards of where I used to see it, which was used as a wedding venue - my sister even got married there.
On a separate note, I'm sure that you've been told this many times before, but you are arguably* the best speaker on this platform - in fact I'd argue that you're amongst the best speakers on any form of media.
I very nearly cheered out loud when you said, "medieval".
So many people, particularly (on television) historians, who really should know better, say, "medevel" - a practice that really drives me crazy.
It has been pointed out to me that I'm getting annoyed about nothing, which I can (reluctantly) accept.
There are bigger problems in the World today than the pronunciation of a certain word.......but, I'd suggest that everyone is allowed one irrational 'trigger'.
Susie Dent, (Ch4 Countdown & The OED) takes a very laissez-faire attitude; that language is constantly evolving, and there's no right or wrong, as long as you're understood - the less said about that the better, in my humble opinion.
It may be considered old fashioned or stuffy, but it shouldn't be difficult for people, (particularly in the public eye) to speak with clarity and the correct enunciation - I'm not talking about returning to RP, but if you're being paid to communicate, then you should be able to talk clearly.
That's one of the many reasons why I enjoy your channel so much - so thank you.
*Now, I did write "arguably", but I'm going to suggest 'Nature's Temper' too, though I can't remember his actual name off the top of my head.
I think that's fair enough - one woman and one man, and both English (I believe he's from Cheshire) despite the fact that many English people do appalling things to their own language, and I'm a Scotsman.
Thank you for all your kind words of support, Ian. Best wishes to you and yours.
Thoroughly done. I learned quite a bit.
Thank you for watching.
Great video as all ways.
Thank you.
Nevermore.
I knew there was bound to be one haha
I was looking for someone to say it! lol
Nevermore!!!!
Kawwwwww!!!!!
nice.
Ravens are so cool! I wonder if a person can have a raven as a pet. This is awesome and you guys did a wonderful job on the video!
Thanks, Daniel. Have a great weekend!
How I looove Raven, and crow as well. Thank you Laura and TPS for this top notch video.👌🤟🖤
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching!
Why thank you! *curtsy*
In all seriousness, thank you for a wonderful video. Many of these are the I chose my moniker.
Now you know why the vikings called a battlesite the ravens feast. The allfather carry them to Aasgard piece by piece.
A flock of Ravens is called a conspiracy or unkindness. A flock of crows is called a murder. A flock of Corvids is called a parliament. 😊
......and The Raven said...."NEVERMORE"
You kawed????
@@ARaven-xf2lg painful lol
Hey that's a Hopewell Effigy Pipe! Its made of soapstone. You can see where it was purposely broken before they put in a cache on the floor of a ceremonially closed house and built a mound over it. Another interesting fact the pipes contained to residues that would indicate that they had ever been used.
It is, indeed! Thank you for the interesting information. Best wishes.
Thank you
Great stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you!
OMG so Bran on Game of Thrones is the three eyed raven and his name means raven?! I friggin love George RR Martin.

9:20 main part..!
Clipping their wings is cruel and unnecessary bc they are smart creatures, just treat them right I used to feed a Raven that fell out of it's nest when it grew up it flew away but it still visits me, it was like hard to believe
Interesting topic.
Thank you for watching.
Needed this!!!!
Thanks for watching!
A few days before my dad passed I had a dream of 3 black crows or ravens. I believe they can be symbols of death but I’m not frightened by them, just really intrigued.
Beautiful Raven's
الغراب منذ عهد ابونا آدم وامنا حواء وهابيل وقابيل الغراب مازال يعلم البشر لكن البشر لا تتعلم وتتناخر وتتقاتل فيما بينها لاجل الدنيا .شكرا
“Welcome kasack! It’s the end of the road for you, right my friends?”
They also recognize faces and will remember if you've done something to place them under duress or if you've done something kind, like left them food.
They are fascinating!
Very Kul!
I'm going to go with the Inuit version of the raven.
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND, THE RAVEN MAN...
What if you just have like 2 to 4 ravens that just follow you around and stare at your house and you just hear them all damn day. In fact they seem to have to build a nest somewhere in my yard and they sit in the tree across from my front porch and I shit you not 2 of them just sit on the very highest branch and stare at me until it gets awkward and I just go inside.
It’s pretty gross that they clip the wings of ravens at the Tower of London. But this is a lovely video!!!! I’ve never seen a raven in real life, but we have crows galore in my area and I love them!
They can smell decay? They must truly be magical to do that without a nose.
I love Ravens!!!
So they basically clip the Ravens wings so they can't fly away? How cruel is that
In some native beliefs, Raven is the one who stole the sun, bringing light to the world.
Hmm... here where I live the crow is bringing bad news, you know how bad the news are depending on how many crows there are and how they act. But the raven is very well liked and are never allowed to get harmed because they are the gods in disguise to see if we humans are doing well and are protecting us.
Beautiful creatures!
This was quite interesting. I would love to see a similar video about cats

Day better and I just woke up
Slight corrections. Covids (crows, ravens, mapies and jays (jays including rooks, starlings, mockingbirds and a couple of others)) are FAR more intelligent than dogs, I think with ravens and crows being the most intelligent. They don't have particularly big brains (although still much bigger than most birds) but instead have extremely densely packed neurons. The old way of measuring intelligence through brain size relative to body size doesn't work with corvids, the true rule is actually number of neurons relative to body size. It's now known that the most intelligent corvids are slightly more intelligent than parrots puting them in the top five animals behind humans, elephants, dolphins and chimps in that order with (in no particular order) gorillas, parrots, killer whales (orcas), octopuses and hogs/pigs making up the rest of the top ten.
I love ravens!
