Birds have a long and storied history within Animism, Paganism, and Witchcraft. It is believed that they are not only guides of the soul to the otherworlds or the afterlife, but that they are also the messengers between humans and gods and spirits. The Bird Goddess was a primeval figure worshipped in the time of prehistory. Her remnants can be found in the bird-clawed feet and wings of the ancient goddesses Ereshkigal, Lilith, and Baba Yaga as well as goddesses associated with birds like the Morrigan with Ravens and crows, Hecate with Owls, and Freyja with Hawks, and so on...
