‘Kvitravn’ is a song that explores traditions of animal-guides and the symbolism and legends of sacred white animals found in Nordic and other cultures all over the world. These highly regarded ghostly creatures, whether a raven, snake, bear, moose, reindeer, elephant or lion–are in animist traditions seen as prophetic, divine messengers, and guardians representing renewal, purity and a bridge between worlds.

Lyrics:
Kvitravn
Ut i skuma
Lokkar til meg
Kvite ramnen
Duld og dvelande
Høyr eg spør!
Lend meg ei fjør
Så skal eg verkje
vingar kvite
Lat oss flyga
i vide vindar
I hugjen veida
Med songen seida
Høyr eg spør!
Lend meg vidsyn
Lat meg skilje
Sjå i skodda
Høyr eg spør!
Lær meg songen
som deg freistar… som meg freistar
som deg finn… som meg finn
Vil du meg fylgja
i all mi tid?
Vil du meg varda
i all mi tid?
Gygrefuggel
Gav meg vingar
Kvite korpa
Gav meg sjon
Galdrekråka
Gav meg songen
Kvite vingar
Fylgjer meg

White Raven
Into twilight
Lure you in
White raven
Veiled and dwelling
Let me ask!
Lend me a feather
I will turn it
into white wings
Let us fly,
wide on winds
With hunting minds
and sorcerous songs
Let me ask!
Lend me your wide-sight
Let me espy,
in fumes of fog
Let me ask!
Teach me the song
that allures you… that allures me
that finds you… that finds me
Will you follow me
throughout my time?
Will you watch over me
throughout my time?
Spirit-bird
Gave me wings
White raven
Gave me foresight
Chanting-crow
Gave me the song
White wings
Follows me

I listen to wardruna while I run at night. Running at night in the cold and looking at the stars all while listening to this beautiful music is almost a spiritual experience.

Did you know: white ravens are actually more common than you think. Most white ravens aren't actually albino, they have something called leucism which takes a lot of their pigmentation, but not all. Because of this, the mother will either throw it out of the nest or kill it, and the few who make it to adulthood are shunned by other ravens and have almost no chance of ever mating because of their color. (plus they typically have blue eyes.)

If your still listening to this in 2024. May the God's and Goddesses be with you!!!

I went to a Wardruna concert 1 year ago in Milan. This was the first song they played. When I first heard the raven, I started crying. A lot. I think I cried for the whole concert. This is probably one of the best experience I ever had in my life. Ty so much. (Also thanks to my dear friend who brought me there, lysm)

My son’s interpretation is that this is a sad song and he hopes you find your bird.

The spiritual music of Wardruna and Heilung is my companion on hundreds of hours exploring the forests and mountains of Switzerland. It touches a chord in the soul I didn't even know I have before. It's like finding a lost home. Thank you for this gift and another masterpiece!
