Almost every person, who looks at Gothic art are noticed that those paintings and drawings are usually portrayed the black bird known as Raven. Those birds are symbolizing black magic and witchcraft. But why that big crow is so often portrayed in that kind of art? The reason is that witches must hide their identity, and real witchcraft and black magic are actually making some poisons by using natural vegetables and mushrooms. But the problem with witches was that if they caught by sheriffs, they would die in the bonfire.
So the witches must grow their vegetables like Belladonna and destroy angels in far away from the house, where that person lives. And actually, they must use plantations, what looks like natural. And also they must know the location of those vegetables. They must use some bird, what was not suspicious as the pet, and also that bird must be easy to find if the looker knows the mark of the bird. And the bird must be big enough that it would not be eaten by other birds.
Ravens are ideal for those works because they are quite big. And also they are not any regular pets, and that’s why the witch can hide their real identity. Royal witches were not outside the law, and those persons must use those birds to look their poisonous vegetables because the king didn’t want to catch the connections for those people. Royal witch means the poison cooker, who cooked poison for royal showdowns, and their work was the little bit different than knights.
Of course, the king paid to those persons, but that thing was something, what the ruler of the state didn’t want other people to know. Ravens have the good sense of smell, and they can find the needed mushrooms and vegetables by alone. They can be used in same missions with police's smelling dogs, but those birds can operate in the larger areas and more independently than dogs. And with GPS system those birds can be followed remotely as a group, what makes the number of needed persons smaller in that operation.
But there is more, what those black birds can do. They can be trained to find things, and those birds can be used as “dogs”. Those birds were used to find bodies from the forest, and they can also find living persons who are hiding in the crowd. So they can be used like dogs to find prison escapees. Ravens also can find narcotics. weapons and explosives very easily, and they can equip with small action cameras and GPS, what would help to follow those birds from the long distance. This is real-world black magic.
