Raven (Wikipedia [link] ) -
Next to Elephant, my life-long totem, Raven seems to be my new totem animal for this time of my life...

RAVEN - totem :

Magic, Healing, Creation, Mysticism

If a raven totem has come into our life,
magic is at play.
Raven activates the energy of magic
and links it to our will and intention.

With this totem, we can make great changes
in our life, the ability to take the unformed thought and make it reality.

The raven shows us how to go into the dark
of our inner self and bring out the light of our true self, resolving inner conflicts which have long been buried.
This is the deepest power of healing we can possess.
-----
Ravens are known as the "keeper of secrets" in several native tribes, and are the teachers of mysticism. They have been wrapped in a wealth of myth and lore throughout many cultures and ages. Their black color and diet of dead animals associates them with the vast void of darkness, which is representative of the unconscious.

Raven flies to us with heightened awareness and greater understanding of our consciousness. It is with this new perception that we begin seeing into the hearts of others and experience their feelings. Raven asks us to experience the transformation it brings within our multidimensional self, and be reunited with the mysteries of the universe so we can expel our inner demons.
