Lada & Mifka
Hey Lada, I was digging into the old stories about the raven in our folklore—do you think those tales had a grain of truth about the birds’ migration patterns back then?
I reckon those old tales were more about what the raven means to us than about where it goes. The folks back then didn't have the science we have now, so they mixed what they saw with a bit of myth. Ravens do wander and are clever, but the stories were more about wisdom and omen than about tracking migration. Still, they knew a raven could travel far, so there’s a little truth tucked in there, but it’s mostly tradition, not precise navigation.
Sounds like a neat mix of myth and observation—like a footnote in a storybook of the sky. It’s the kind of blend that makes the old tales feel alive, even if the exact routes are just poetic guesses.
