A Raven Called MeWhen you meet Raven, he could be telling you that there will be changes in your life and that possibly you should step by the usual way you view reality and look into the inner realms …walk your talk…be prepared to let go of your old thinking and embrace a new way of viewing yourself and the world.

The 2006 Adventure Calendar preserved one of the Lemurian Journey's with Enchanteur. . You can find links to the collection of the Soul Food Cafe Advent Calendars housed at Squidoo. This collective is currently working on material that will be used for the 2009 Adventure Calendar.
The theme of the 2005 Advent Calendar was 'Journey of the Heart'.
A group of courageous travellers packed at a moments notice and headed off for a three month trek along the Soul Food Silk Road.
They discovered a road that twisted and wound endlessly. They met the Amazon Queen, a Hermit, a Mystic, Gypsy Travellers, Fortune Tellers, a Bath-house Madame, the Sacred Warrior Knight, the Mistress of the Wardrobe and many other interesting characters.
Hestia, like so many Lemurians, travelled with a donkey. Hestia is the inner spark we need to survive all odds, and to keep our spirits intact on the darkest day. She is also the light that guides us and allows us to take joy in our lives, and in our accomplishments. She is our inner light and the life inside ourselves. To come to Hestia's Hearth is to commit to keeping the inner spark alive.
The Rookery features the work of a group of inter generational, international, creative women who have worked in Lemuria with Heather Blakey, gaining their 'raven wings' in the process.
The Lemurian Abbey, which lies beyond the Glastonbury Tor, is strictly restricted to members of the Order of Soul Food, to those votaries who have committed themselves to Making Art A Daily Practice and to building The Lemurian Abbey Community. This is not a religious order and welcomes people of any faith.
During 2006 Abbey Residents worked collaboratively on the A to Z of Abbey Alchemy. Just click on the individual letters to find the tasks.
If you have an artist, a dreamer, a dancer, a mythologist, an imagineer, a writer amidst your clan, make sure to nourish their creative spirit by sending them a box of Chocolates from the Soul Food Cafe. But be cautioned! These hand filled chocolates are totally addictive and may change lives.
Childhood is a state or phase of imaginative existence, the phase in which the world of imagination is still a brave new world and yet reassuring and intelligible.
The strictly non-fat chocolate from the Soul Food Chocolate Box is full of projects and material to help us return to that wondrous kingdom where imagination and creativity rule. The special fillings focus on celebrating childhood joy, spontaneity and imagination.
Celebrate being Australian, learn about Australian History and discover the essence of creativity all at the same time. The Dig Tree, is etched into the Australian psyche as one of the greatest ironic tragedies. Dig and unearth some of the secrets of creativity. The Dig Tree was designed by Greg Blakey, a talented design student, with flair, imagination and the ability to meet the needs of his clients.

“…be prepared to let go of your old thinking and embrace a new way of viewing yourself and the world”
I went through some writing classes recently where I had to do that. Some days were pretty rough, but you know what? I got through them and Iearned something about myself. I have more confidence in myself then I realized.
Bravo A.M. It is only when we learn about ourselves that we lift up a notch or two. Your writing is shining and YOUR voice is loud and clear.
“walk your talk…be prepared to let go of your old thinking and embrace a new way of viewing yourself and the world.” This is so what I need to do. Thank you, once again, for letting me journey with you, Heather!
My pleasure Shiloh. For different reasons we find ourselves in the same space. It is time for me to move on and embrace some newer ways of doing things.
I love the image Shiloh! It is good the ravens are calling out their wisdoms.
When my heart is heavy and hurts, I reinvent myself. I tell myself it is healing but really it just separates me from the hurt for awhile. Then I move on to looking deeply at he hurt which really is healing. And most of the time things make sense and I realize that most things (with the exception of loss) I begin to realize that how often I place myself into situations where I get hurt and wonder why. I’ve played the victim too long and played the witness not nearly enough. Thank you for such an inspiring post, Heather. I needed that. And Shiloh’s picture is moving as well.
Good advice on this one. Change seems the only constant.
Raven seems to lead me to the changes, and when I follow, I know what to expect.
