39 – The Raven – Trouble – A Mountain under Water

The raven itself is not an unfortunate omen, actually it is quite the helpful little bird. For it carries the burdensome task of warning about upcoming troubles. We should be on our guard, for unexpected adversary may be coming our way. The raven advises to concentrate attention on the south and the west, while avoiding all things east and north.
