Ravens Circle Dance Paper Plate

Nine lively ravens (Corvus corax) circle around a knotted Norse/Celtic ring. A triquetra, a triangular figure of three interlaced arcs, appears at centre. Everything is superimposed on an old paper background image, giving it a mediaeval feel. You may change the colour of the border ring or remove it altogether. In Norse mythology the number nine is associated with Odin and his valkyries, connecting it to the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth. Ravens were multi-faceted symbols including the connection between the worlds of the living and the dead. In effect, this image can be thought of an an avian ouroboros.
