A cordwainer (/ˈkɔːrdˌweɪnər/) is a shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather. The cordwainer’s trade can be contrasted with the cobbler’s trade, according to a tradition in Britain that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes.[1] This usage distinction is not universally observed, as the word cobbler is widely used for tradespersons who make or repair shoes.[2][3][4]
The Oxford English Dictionary[5] says that the word cordwainer is archaic, “still used in the names of guilds, for example, the Cordwainers’ Company“; but its definition of cobbler mentions only mending,[5] reflecting the older distinction. Play 14 of the Chester Cycle was presented by the guild of corvisors or corvysors.[
The term cordwainer entered English as cordewaner(e), from the Anglo-Norman cordewaner (from Old French cordoanier, -ouanier, -uennier, etc.), and initially denoted a worker in cordwain or cordovan, the leather historically produced in Moorish Córdoba, Spain in the Middle Ages, as well as, more narrowly, a shoemaker.[8] The earliest attestation in English is a reference to “Randolf se cordewan[ere]”, ca. 1100.[1][8]
(Here we have another tie to Spain and possibly the Milesians)
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *korwos, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱorh₂wós, imitative of harsh sounds (compare Middle Irish crú, Lithuanian šárka (“magpie”), Serbo-Croatian svrȁka (“magpie”), Ancient Greek κόραξ (kórax), Old English hræfn), from *ḱer- (compare Latin crepō (“I creak, crack”), Sanskrit कृपते (kṛ́pate, “he laments, implores”)) + *-wós (whence Latin -vus).
Pronunciation
Noun
corvus m (genitive corvī); second declension
- A raven; a bird associated with prophecy and sacred to Apollo.

So that brings us to the “raven mockers” in the PC Cast books (wandering jew-shoemaker-corvus guild-raven). However, PC Cast states she derived the raven mockers from Cherokee legends about feared witches and wizards. When I looked up the term, the Wikipedia meaning said the raven mocker robbed dying me of their life. I could see if it meant soul, rebirth or gifts. Vampyre have something similar with absorbing back the abilities of hybrids. However, it would make no sense to rob a dying man of life if their life was over.
And is it the Raven that these witches are mocking?
In an article I found, these Raven mockers were known as man-killers. This is a similar term to what Aphrodite is called.

It also brings us to Apollo-an enemy of Aphrodite.
Most Gods and Goddesses are of the crow, with two exceptions, Bran and Odin.
