In the Norse shamanic tradition, Odin's ravens represent the powers of necromancy, clairvoyance and telepathy, and they were guides for the dead.
In the Elder Edda's cryptic poem, the Grimnismal, a verse refers to Odin's ravens:
Huginn and Muninn, every day
They fly over earthground.
I fear for Huginn,
that he may not return.
But even more, I fear
for the loss of Muninn.

Black on black on black...try lightening the background.
Thank you Bob, I agree wholeheartedly. Made a change.
nice work!
Interesting back story and a nice representation!
nice choice of image and well blending -- looking at the high res i wonder if the tree and skulls could use a touch of blur to move them back in the image they seem to be intruding on the raven and girl
Edit -- look better glad to be of some help
'preciate ya Alan, made adjustments, thanks
I see an eminent danger here... it seems the raven will peck the girl any time!
Good suggestion Nator I like it. Eurikuri if I were to have portrayed that it might be off theme.
, thanks all, for the commentary and the encouraging remarks
Cool info and creepy image author, good work. Great depth of field shown between the sphere and tree and the raven and girl. Nice final touch with that red eye on the raven!
Very disturbing ... I can see the necromancy in the image!
very cool work author...ravens eye is fantastic...
