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 also is a creative force, transforming the world, sometimes in bizarre and outrageous ways. 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 This is one of the best-known Northwest Coast Native stories. In the beginning, the world was dark. An old man had a box that contained a box that held many other boxes. In the very last box was all the light in the universe and this was a treasure he selfishly kept to himself. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eIn the original story, Raven tricks the old man by stealing the light. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eIn my version, Raven has problems reading and steals the wrong lite.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raven - Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50541494763820,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/3806\/1868\/files\/bPg2pjdzrp.jpg?v=1738448751","url":"https:\/\/artisan-co-op.myshopify.com\/products\/raven-steals-the-lite-etching-5-x-7inch","provider":"Artisans Cooperative","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
