"Among other things, the raven is an ancient symbol of prophecy and insight, creation and transformation, knowledge and prestige, associated with ancient wisdom and intelligence." - Me (What? Am I not aloud to quote myself?)
Like comfort books, we all have comfort music and it should come as no surprise that mine tells a tale. What is surprising is that it is a relatively new song, the debut single of Finnish indie folk band Aeldfire. A song that tells, like the old Bards, a dark fairy tale of forbidden love and mysterious magic. It – story, lyrics, and the very sound the singer's voice – continues to draw me back to this glade of ravens.
"All that I have seen and all that I've known
I, the Raven Queen, swear on the bloodstone
To honor and protect the righteous minds,
Ravens don't tell and ravens don't lie."
