Algorab
Algorab
Algorab, Delta Corvi in the raven near 13 degrees of Libra, carries the crow's old reputation. Robson gives it destructiveness, malevolence, scavenging, lying, and a fox-like cunning. Brady reads the raven as the eater of carrion that also carries messages, the one who profits from what others discard. The shadow is real; turned to the light it is sharp-witted resourcefulness that makes use of what is left over.
