This raven sits watchfully on its witch's shoulder — a loyal companion that's rarely missing from a classic witch story. Unlike the witch's cat, the raven brings its own distinct character: clever, alert, and a little mysterious. This witch's raven coloring page is free to print, so you can start coloring right away.
The raven's feathers offer a lovely area for experimenting with different shades of black and blue — real raven feathers often shimmer slightly blue or green when light hits them.
Why the raven is the wisest companion in the Witch World
While the cat represents coziness and closeness, the raven in many stories embodies wisdom and foresight — often flying ahead to deliver messages or spot danger. This split in roles makes the Witch World even richer: not every animal companion needs the same job. For kids, it's a nice prompt to think about what special ability their own animal companion might have.
