My program also will include a slide show featuring some of the thousands of photos I’ve taken of crows over the years, as well as some of my digital art images of the birds.” He will also be displaying some of his canvas prints of crow art, a small preview of sorts of his pop-up art show from 5-8 p.m. Saturday Nov. 17 at Arts on Granada in Ormond Beach. “Some of the crow/raven lore I will explore: In Norse mythology, the god Odin is accompanied by two ravens whose names translate as “thought” and “memory.” For some Native American cultures, Raven is a trickster god who stole light and brought it to the world. In Jewish folklore and the Qur’an, a raven teaches humans how to bury Abel. Crows and ravens also appear in the legends of Irish, Greek, Appalachian and numerous other cultures.” De Yampert is FlaglerLive’s culture writer.
