Black Ravens Tarot Cards (Messengers of the God Wodan)

The Black Ravens Tarot Cards form a complete Tarot deck in which the black raven is central. The deck was designed by Magnus Riveira Montero and features beautiful, atmospheric images in which the raven repeatedly returns as a visual motif. Both human design and computer assistance were used in the creation of this deck, resulting in detailed and stylized card images.

The Mythology of the Raven

The raven plays a prominent role in several mythologies. In Germanic tradition, the god Wodan, known in Scandinavian as Odin, used two ravens as messengers: Huginn and Muninn. Among the Celts, the animal was also associated with divination, victory in battle, and fertility. A completely black raven was sometimes seen as a bad omen, while a raven with a white spot was believed to bring good luck. Among the Greeks and Romans, the raven was a symbol of long life and a messenger of the sun god Apollo. These various traditions form the inspiration for the design of this Tarot deck.

Structure and Manual

The Black Ravens Tarot Deck comes with an illustrated manual. This manual is intended to help people who have not worked with Tarot before understand the meaning and structure of the cards, making the deck suitable for both beginners and more experienced users.

Tarot Cards in Use

Tarot cards have traditionally been used as a tool for reflection and self-exploration. Some people consult the cards for questions in their lives, or use a spread as an occasion to contemplate a topic. How someone interprets the cards and what this personally means to them is subjective and can vary per user.
