The Raven’s Prayer

Winged emissary from the realms beyond,
Fire-stealer, trickster, wolf-friend.
Raven,
I call on your wisdom.
Teach me your tricks of thought and memory.
Lend me your eloquence
to speak of the hidden mysteries.
Help me use the tools around me to attain my goals,
and if I do not find these tools,
teach me to craft them.
Help me fly with agility to where I’m most needed.
Guide me in the ways of the sentinel.
Teach me to sing for love and
to return to those places where it has lived before.
I ask for your strength
in the face of intimidation.
I ask for your wings
as I dive into darkness and return with knowledge.
I ask for your magic
in shaping the unformed into a beautiful reality.
Raven,
I call on thee.
