Thanks for sharing your work and talent. I have seen the drawings and pictographs in South Africa, Argentina, Peru, Canada, Alaska, and here in Wyoming. They all are amazing pictures of the ways of our various ansesters. The southern Alaskan culture believed their dead would come back as Ravens to guide them thru their lives. I am working on some moose raw hides for some double faced drums and find the painting to be the very most difficult of all the construction of a drum. I am from the Cherokee bear clan so all of my things have the bear claws. Your design is great and easy to understand. Thanks again! Joe

They also flew a raven banner when they visited the rest of Europe, from time to time. ;)

Huginn and Muninn. The two raven's names were Thought and Memory. Big Viking ju-ju!
