The Seven Ravens

This one is based on the fairy tale about a girl whose seven brothers are transformed into ravens. The severed finger refers to a part in the story where the girl has lost the key given to her to open her brothers' cage, and has to cut off a part of her finger to use as a key instead. Wicked!
