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!
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.
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.
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!!!
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'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 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! :-)
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?
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.
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.
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!
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...
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.....
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.
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!! 😊👍💛
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.
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?
@@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
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
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. :)
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! 🍎
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.
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! 😊❤️❤️❤️
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 .
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.
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.
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 😊
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.
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?
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!
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.
There are indeed many raven legends across the globe - I picked some of my favourites, and the best documented. Thanks for watching and for your support.
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.
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
i must admit that I associate the raven with the more darker side of nature. Not that the bird itself is evil, but merely a messenger that something important has happened or is yet to happen. So, indeed when a raven lands near a person or somewhere where you can see it, it always makes me a bit nervous and yet the birds are very clever and even majestic in my opinion. But I see the raven themselves not as evil, maybe in my mind, they pick up on certain darker elements of man or nature and show themselves as if to say to the person who happens to see them: "something has happened of great importance or will happen eventually". "Watcher, beware of my presence". This is how I see ravens. But as explained in this documentary , I'm very much influenced by lets say Edgar allen poe's "nevermore" or other slightly sinister descriptions of the nature of the birds.
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention Edgar Allan Poe's most famous work in this one. Although, I guess that would be a little too on the nose. Although it did get referenced in Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods. Shadow: (to a raven) Hey, say Nevermore. Raven: Fuck you.

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!
Great stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you!
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 😊
I love crows and ravens, very intelligent. Thanks for this👍
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.
Interesting stuff! Thanks!
Thank you!
Needed this!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore" Edgar Allan Poe

Thank you, Dylan.
Ravens are one of my Spirit Guides, and assist me in life. Skal!
Great video as all ways.
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?
Beautiful birds and so intelligent. I only get crows near me but lots and just as beautiful as ravens. Corvids are all stunning 😍
3:33 lol im here cuz i was meditating and after i felt like discovering the meaning of my name
Very Fascinating
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the great content.
Thank you
Very Kul!
They are fascinating!
Interesting topic.
Thank you for watching.
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!
This was quite interesting. I would love to see a similar video about cats
Thank you for watching.
OMG so Bran on Game of Thrones is the three eyed raven and his name means raven?! I friggin love George RR Martin.
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. 😊
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
Beautiful creatures!
......and The Raven said...."NEVERMORE"
You kawed????
@@ARaven-xf2lg painful lol
Now you know why the vikings called a battlesite the ravens feast. The allfather carry them to Aasgard piece by piece.
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.
Oh ty! When I was lil they used to scare me lol
I love ravens!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the raven mocker during the mention of native American lore. Still a great documentary though!
There are indeed many raven legends across the globe - I picked some of my favourites, and the best documented. Thanks for watching and for your support.
I used to think I was goth because I loved ravens. I still love the birds today! Lol!
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.
No shoutout for the classic Grimm's Fairy Tale The Seven Brothers?
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
Day better and I just woke up
I love the story behind Ravens and I really think the name suits my personality
I love Ravens!!!
Nevermore.
I knew there was bound to be one haha
I was looking for someone to say it! lol
Nevermore!!!!
Kawwwwww!!!!!
nice.
“Welcome kasack! It’s the end of the road for you, right my friends?”
9:20 main part..!
amazing😍😁😃
In some native beliefs, Raven is the one who stole the sun, bringing light to the world.
The Crow said, "Don't look!"
The Crow by James O. Barr.
i must admit that I associate the raven with the more darker side of nature. Not that the bird itself is evil, but merely a messenger that something important has happened or is yet to happen.
So, indeed when a raven lands near a person or somewhere where you can see it, it always makes me a bit nervous and yet the birds are very clever and even majestic in my opinion.
But I see the raven themselves not as evil, maybe in my mind, they pick up on certain darker elements of man or nature and show themselves as if to say to the person who happens to see them: "something has happened of great importance or will happen eventually". "Watcher, beware of my presence".
This is how I see ravens. But as explained in this documentary , I'm very much influenced by lets say Edgar allen poe's "nevermore" or other slightly sinister descriptions of the nature of the birds.
I'm going to go with the Inuit version of the raven.
So they basically clip the Ravens wings so they can't fly away? How cruel is that
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND, THE RAVEN MAN...
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention Edgar Allan Poe's most famous work in this one. Although, I guess that would be a little too on the nose. Although it did get referenced in Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods.
Shadow: (to a raven) Hey, say Nevermore.
Raven: Fuck you.
