The Raven can cross the limits of dimensions. It flies between the world where the living dwell, and that one we must all go to when our time has come.

Across cultures, the Raven has been a messenger, a creature associated with transitions, memory and death. From Nordic folklore to Poe's "Nevermore", this bird has been wrapped in mystery, shadows and meaning since we can remember.

Our symbolic ink "made of raven" expresses our deep connection and respect for loss, grief, and the weight of untold stories.

There could not be a better animal to represent us than this enigmatic, black-feathered beauty.

Hello, I'm Ariane Saltoris, mom, professional editor and professional writer from Rio de Janeiro who has lived in Europe since 2006. Beyond my work as a published author, I'm the founder of Caipora, an independent publishing house dedicated to exporting Tropical Gothic and folklore, among others.

I understand grief, for those who have gone from this world and for the moments we never bothered to write down. With time, memories fade, but if they are written, they linger for the generations to come.

When my grandmother died I was 18 years old; an age when the people in your life start becoming real human beings in your eyes, with sorrows, mistakes and a story of their own. And I never got to know hers. I wished someone had written it down. I wished someone had asked her who she truly was. That itch never left me.

The Raven Ink was a natural progression of my work as a folklorist and Gothic Fiction scholar, and my obsession for untold stories. It all began with me as a solopreneur and a wild idea of serving people - and pets - postmortem, through their loved ones that stayed behind. It worked.

Now, I have a team of professional writers and designers, people full of integrity to back me up and write our client's story in an unforgettable way.
