I heard today that ravens are Freyja's sacred bird. I knew she was able to turn into a falcon, but I heard she can also turn into a raven? Anyone else come across this info?

Re: Freyja and ravens?
There's nothing in the Lore linking ravens to Freya.I often wish that I had done drugs in the '70s. At least there'd be a reason for the flashbacks. - Rick the Runesinger

For the Yule was upon them, the Yule; and they quaffed from the skulls of the slain,
And shouted loud oaths in hoarse wit, and long quaffing swore laughing again.

Re: Freyja and ravens?
Backing up Rick on this one...can you provide a reference to what said they were tied to her?
The closest thing to that I've ever heard before is very round about: people arguing that the Valkyries are like battlefield ravens. Since Freya is their leader, that might loosely tie her to the birds.
Everything lore I can think of ties ravens to Odin, though. Freya is always falcons and the big Norwegian Forest Cats.
