The Enigmatic Raven of Inuit Mythology: Symbol of Creation and Transformation

In Inuit mythology, the raven is a symbol of creation, transformation, and the mysterious. The raven is associated with the creation myth, in which a raven finds a pebble and drops it into the sea, creating the earth. The raven's ability to adapt to harsh conditions and its role as a scavenger are seen as metaphors for survival and transformation. Raven imagery is common in Inuit art, stories, and rituals.
