I took these photos at my friend J's house. Though common, Ravens are my most favorite bird.
That is all for today :-).

About Me
- Annie Coe
- I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico. Artist Statement: I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.

I love ravens and crows, too. They are so intelligent and cheeky.
Wishing you a beauty of a day, Annie.
Dearest Annie,
I looked up in my Ted Andrews book about ravens. (One of his books is "The Animal-Wise Tarot.") Raven is associated with The Devil card in the Tarot deck but this is not a bad thing. A powerful thing! The raven is a shapeshifter and represents "light in the dark." The raven is a bird of life and death; of magic and mysticism.
He says, "When raven appears it is time to bring some light into the darkness, wherever it may exist in our life...Doors are opening between worlds...things are not as they appear. Raven tells us not to put our faith in the things of the material world.. encouraging us instead to focus on our spiritual goals. Ravens are also playful and excellent tool users. Ravens speaks of opportunities to become the magician or enchantress, point us to us that if things are to change, it must be up to our own efforts.
Well, my friend, there is much more. I hope you find this of interest. Raven reminds me of the ever-changing, ever-faithful artist in you.
I love when animals show up in our lives this way. I am certain they carry messages from beyond if we are willing to see them.
Blessings!
Great photos!
I'm done with final grades and ready to proofread/edit your book when you are. Email me and we'll make arrangements! :0)
Very cool photos!
Jan- Thanks for all that info on the ravens, I knew some of it, but not all.
They are beautiful! Such clever birds too.
Raven in Charles De Lint books is a founding creature of the universe in Native American folklore
