Sterling Silver Raven Ring

Norman Seaweed was born in Alert Bay, a small fishing village off the northeastern coast of Vancouver Island. This area is representative of the Kwagiulth Nation, a tribe that inhabits mainly the southern region of the province. His mothers family is from the Village Island and his fathers family is from Turnour Island. Norman was trained in jewelry carving by Lloyd Wadhams in 1978. He was always interested in drawing, then moved into wood carving and from there, into silver and gold. Normans brothers Alfred, Paddy, and Rodney are all silver carvers.

The Raven represents creation, knowledge, and nature's complexity. Known for his mischief and curiosity, he is a transformer and trickster. According to Haida legends, Raven freed the sun and moon and found humanity in a clamshell. He embodies humor and a light-hearted spirit. As a long-distance healer and "keeper of secrets," Raven aids us by revealing truths and secrets that could be harmful, thus restoring our well-being. Fear of the Raven arises only when his power is misused.
