Symbols are funny. Why I'm not reading about them anymore?
Raven is symbol of death and everything that's evil and misfortune. On the other hand, there was cult of raven as a god of creation. Also there're Odin's ravens, which were considered as symbols of knowledge and memory.
The same's about cat. In many cultures it was considered as evil, satan's crature, which is sly. But in other cultures they were considered as protectors, or as lunar symbol and everything connected with was opportunity to celebrate [like in fertility cult].
And there's wolf.
Three is number of perfect.
White, generally, is pure, decent, innocent. Or dead in other cultures.
Black is connected with death, funeral. Or life in another culture.
