#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `Ravens and crows were generally associated by the Celts, mainly because of their black plumage and aggressive cries, with weapons, war and destruction (Green 2002, 87). Burials of corvids are archaeologically proven in Switzerland or on the British Isles. In ancient literature some mentions and stories about ravens in the Celtic world are found.`

#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `Artemidorus of Ephesus hands down a story of a harbor on the coast of the ocean whose name is "two ravens". In this harbor one could meet two ravens whose right wing was each whitish colored. When there was a dispute, the two disputants came to a certain place and deposited sacrificial cakes there for the birds. The winner remained the one whose cake was not eaten but scattered (Hofeneder 2005, 109).`
