Raven tattoo - the meaning

The image of this bird can often be found not only on the shoulder blade or shoulder of a girl, but also on the hip or lower back. It is worth noting that the location of the raven tattoo does not matter, but its color can tell a lot about its owner.

What does the raven tattoo mean?

To begin with, let's talk about what, in principle, means a raven or crow tattoo. Our ancestors believed that this bird is the mediator between the world of the living and the world of spirits, so it was applied to its body or shamans, or those who wanted to contact the dead and get their support. Therefore, many people are still careful not to put such images, because they will have to pay for the connection with the world of spirits.

The Slavs also considered the crow to be the harbinger of death, so they were afraid of this bird and those people who used his images. Suffering, pain and loss of loved ones, or a connection with the world of the dead - this is the main significance of the crow's tattoos among the Slavs. Although, on the contrary, the Indians believed that such drawings would only strengthen the health of the person and protect him from troubles and problems.

The modern meaning of a crow tattoo for a girl is a little different from the views of both the Slavs and the Indians. At present, it is rather a symbol of the fact that a woman believes in herself and that there is another world, whose support and assistance she would like to use.

Tattoo of the Hall of the Raven

This image is a Slavic amulet. But not every person can use it. Slavs believed that only one, who possesses considerable moral forces, and also has an "inner core" can apply this drawing. Otherwise, you can suffer, because this charm belongs to the world of sorcerers, which means that if a person is not too "resistant to external influences," such a connection can destroy him.

Nowadays this image is often applied to its body by girls who like gothic. Raven is one of the main symbols of death, as well as its harbinger. Therefore, even his "schematic" image will mean a desire to know the world of the dead, to come into contact with it and gain inner strength.

It is also believed that a person with such an amulet on the body can possess magical knowledge and skills. After all, the raven was always a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, but not ordinary, but rather related to the "paranormal." By the way, this is another argument in favor of the version about the "potential danger" of this tattoo.
