RE: Ravens Remember Getting an Unfair Deal and Who Did it to Them

in #animals7 years ago

Not trying to turn interesting science into fiction but i wonder if thats why on Game of Thrones the 3-eyed Raven seems to be regarded in the same vein as a wise old man and the use of crows instead of pigeons for sending messages.

Sort:  

Yes, in symbolism ravens are associated as messengers of the "gods", as associated with knowledge as well. They also symbolize time. In Kemetian Ancient Egypt, Thoth was a symbol for wisdom and knowledge, as well as a messenger of the "gods". So you can see how ravens or crows, the black birds I suppose can be used to reference the messenger symbolism, carrying knowledge. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks i like stuff like this where my preconceptions on things i have taken for years are changed

Learning is fun :) "Getting" a piece of reality is rewarding.
