He's sometimes a hero, a troublemaker, a glutton, a buffoon, a destroyer, or a creator. The Trickster alternately scandalizes, disgusts, amuses, disrupts, chastises, and humiliates (or is humiliated by) humans. With his inherent energies and cunning, he is also a creative force, sometimes in bizarre and outrageous ways, transforming the world. In nature, the raven scavenges for food, and because of this, he represents the most basic instincts. In some narratives, he is the evil antagonist, the “Devil”; he is also the “Creator”, the father of mankind, and a potent conductor of spiritual forces in the form of sacred dreams.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In all versions of the Native American story, Raven creates man by releasing him from a clam shell.\u003cbr\u003e In this story, Raven is feeling lazy, and mankind is never created.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e* \"Raven decides NOT to create Man\", was a finalist in the Animal\/Wildlife category of The Artist's Magazine 28th Annual Art Competition.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;\"\u003e* This prints will also be exhibited  at the \"Wave Gotik Treffen\" Festival in 2012 (annual 4-day festival for dark music and arts in Leipzig Germany).\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raven - Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50541624295724,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/3806\/1868\/files\/APJQsCOSus.jpg?v=1738452459","url":"https:\/\/artisan-co-op.myshopify.com\/products\/raven-decides-not-to-create-man-etching-5-inches-x-7-inches","provider":"Artisans Cooperative","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
