The Raven Mocker is a legendary creature from Cherokee lore. Being the most feared of all demons in Cherokee tradition, it had the power to consume a dying person's soul in order to sustain its own life. The name is presumably in reference to the creature's immortality, in that its body would never become the prey of scavenger birds such as ravens. It's body is featured as a disfigured human with features of a raven, (i.e winds, talons, beaks) An enemy of Witches the Raven Mocker is said to torture and taunt any weak, alone human (i.e an old women in the hospital, or small child in the night) Raven Mockers perch high in trees and stalk their next victim. One with low spiritual energy cannot sense or see such a demon, however, if one has a high level it is said you can hear its' horrid call and wings flapping toward you. Some say you can feel the creature, though not able to see it.


Raven Mockers are thought to be the children of Kalona, an angel that went bad. because he was so beautiful he thought women couldnt resist him, so he tried to have sex with them, but when none of them wanted it, he decided to rape them. Many of the victims he raped gave birth to horrible things that couldnt be descrcribed as anything apart from unhuman, but, ocasionaly some one would give birth to a thing that appeared to be half man half raven - the Raven Mocker.

Eventually many woman (otherwise known as wise woman or in this case the most powerful wise woman in the tribe known as a Ghigua) of the different tribes he attacked got annoyed that he was doing this. so the main women of each tribe got together and built a woman from clay and used there various powers to bring her to life. One woman whispered her sweet song giving her the most irresistable voice, while another weaved a beautiful white gown and decorated it with seashells and feathers.Then they all cut their palms giving her powerful tattoos on her skin. when she was created she enticed kalona with her beauty and then used her to speed to run to a cave that went deep into the ground. As Kalona was an angel he was only allowed on earth and with other angels. he was not allowed in earth, but when he went into the cave he went into the earth, the clay woman stopped and let him penetrate her, holding him in place, and she turned back to stone, and then the cave sealed up causing the Raven Mockers to recite what would appear to be a song/poem.. but actualy a prophecy about when Kalona would Return...

	  Kalona's Prophecy


 	Acient one sleeping, waiting to arise

When earth's power bleeds sacred red The mark strikes true; Queen Tsi Sgili will devise He shall be washed from his entombing bed


Through the hand of the dead he is free Terrible beauty, monstrous sight Ruled again they shall be Women shall kneel to his dark might

Kalona's song sounds sweet As we slaughter with cold heat

descreption of Kalona:..he is an immortal beauty, with bronze flawless colored skin.His wings are smooth black..He used to appear at any age he wishes to be to seduce his "victim"..
