The Ink-Pot and the Palette

They're also bound up in the myth of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and must never leave the Tower of London. (I've been doing some reading.) Raven is a shapeshifter, and steals the sun at the winter solstice. He's sometimes depicted in Northwest Indian art as having the sun-disk in his mouth--looks a lot like the Chinese dragon with its egg-pearl. I made an icon! He's so clever that the Indians on this coast considered him the creator of the world.

So yeah, Raven was a good sign.
