your kind. We want the Raven”. A naive call. “Really?”. A malicious laugh filled the air. The raven was behind me and took me captive without me realising it. “You two really think that I am so fragile that I can accept your bargain. Do you know what I have suffered because of you.

you’ve read _American Tricksters: Thoughts on the Shadow Side of a Culture’s Psyche_. It was alright (though I’ll admit the dedication page is perfect.) _Mythical Trickster Figures: Contours‚ Contexts‚ and Criticisms_ is better.

All in all‚ the three books are right about one thing: Tricksters are everywhere! Endless

There is the party clown who terrifies most children and then there is the ‘joker’ in Batman movies‚ whom plays the villain. This example can of course only work for those who have experienced joker characters before reading The Native American Trickster Tales. Tricksters and jokers alike happen

The raven sat far above the Yukon trail‚ searching for a source of sustenance. The cold had paralyzed most life driving them to seek shelter in their dens and nests. The Raven cared little about the cold as his mind focused solely on finding food. The long days of no sun made locating food difficult and even the raven struggled to see within the maze of the pine woods.

The Raven A grieving man sits and hears a knocking on his door‚ what could it be? Out of all the possibilities it’s a raven.
